They pulled a bunch of emergency levers then to stabilize the ruble (and the economy as a whole). Thing is, emergency levers are emergency levers. You can't just keep pulling them. It's been predicted for a while that Russia would not be able to prop up its economy forever.

Holy crap, I was just reading his Wikipedia page. He is such a piece of shit. His wife died of cancer in May 1968. Her doctor had told him, not her, of the diagnosis in 1961 and he kept it secret from her. I knew about the segregation stuff, but that is just the shit frosting on the shit cake.

I get the point you're trying to make, but it wouldn't be at all out of character.

I'm just going to not bother giving a fuck, since that's what they want out of me.

I'll echo the issues with too much water pressure on really cheap bidets. My first one was like a butt hole pressure washer. My second one was more expensive with a tank at the back. Unfortunately, that combined with a rounded toilet didn't leave enough space for sitting. The ones I have now are all Tooshies. I got the ones that can combine hot and cold water, but I only have a hot water hookup for one because I would need to poke holes.

Nah, the "anti-woke" crowd is already going after Chick Fil A. They dared to have a DEI position. The horror!

Same as any strongman leader. Talking tough reliably gets votes from a certain type of voter, even if what is proposed is utterly insane.

Freaks deserve better than to be associated with these... entities.

We all know what "Make America Great Again" means.

That said, threatening people is illegal all on its own, so who knows…

Not necessarily. If it's just a political threat, that's fine. And like a lot of what Trump says, this is just borderline enough to not explicitly threaten physical violence to the point of criminality. It really needs the witness tampering to become criminal. If he says that he will cause political consequences if Jeff Duncan testifies, that would let the prosecution slap witness tampering on to the rest of the case. Hell, he could be convicted on that alone.
