Predictions have Biden pardoning his brother next and on his last day as president will pardon himself. He’s pardoned Brandon for anything over the last 10 years, so maybe he’s thinking trump may come after him so better get a pardon in place . Wait and see I guess .

I wonder how you can pardon yourself when you haven’t been charged with anything or haven’t been convicted yet?

"Crooked Joe" living up to his mantle
Most useless president in our lifetime (that's a pretty low bar)
And leaves covered in the blood of the women and children of the middle east.
War crimes courts in the future for Joe.

Russia itself would love to take USD as a payment. Russian ruble keeps collapsing, nearly 300% down over the last decade or so. Sanctions are a cherry on top of the cake. Killed it. Imagine issuing a futures contract to sell some goods in advance in ruble. And then months later that ruble is worth a lot less than initially anticipated. This is very common with commodities which Russia obviously sells. By now, citizens would be buying USD and EUR in droves, trying to shield against a falling currency. I would also suspect that there is a thriving currency black market in Russia.

So the corruption of ticking the wrong box, and not paying your taxes on time,
is worse than the corruption of
Weaponising the Department of Justice and the military, to get revenge on your political opponents, as Trump has promised.
Well it is as far as the corporate media is concerned.

I can't see your silly pictures frownyman, they're blocked

I know you don't care about truth and integrity... you've displayed that for years... you're willing to suck up the party lines - 'the narrative' - regardless of the issue...

the cause is more important than truth to you (very PM npr...) but good for you...

carry on dude...

whilst... even many democrats are not willing to suck this one up...

Looks like Putin is weakening
with rebels taking Aleppo in Syria from the
Putin backed Assad government forces.
And people power taking to the streets in the country of Georgia, backing the opposition leader there against a Putin backed government , who voted to end talks about joining the EU .

It’s a strange one that’s for sure , the way Hunters pardon is written , it includes any other charges they may bring against him over the last 10 years . It’s an unprecedented pardon . They bleated for ages that nobody is above the law ……..apparently not true . ……………. The full pardon is not just for Hunter Biden's recent convictions but covers any crime he may have committed over a nearly 11-year span from Jan. 1, 2014, to Dec. 1, 2024. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/hunter-biden-pardon-sparks-backlash-expe...

interesting how much our media seems to NOT be interested in such developments....

our closest (significant) neighbour just made their (preference) alliance clear

also interesting how much the sitting, and new groveling members, seem to not care about russia and it's indiscretions...

and the woeful behaviour of china throughout covid ...

the slicing and dicing of hegemony continues

WWW111 is shaping up to be a doozy...

This is a real smart move by Trump, both politically and practically.

He has now set a deadline date, you always set a deadline date when you want something done, and he also made it clear there is consequences if the hostages are not released if that date is not met.

However, you have to follow through with the threat if the deadline is not met, with Biden they would go yeah right whatever, but Trump is much more unpredictable and likely to follow through, so more likely to get results.

It's smart politically because if the hostages are somehow released before Trump gets in it's a win for Trump, he can claim it was because of him not Biden, and lets be real if it happens it will be because of the fear of Trump, nothing to do with Biden, if it was it would have happened under Biden long ago.

Id expect though this is a really a threat to Iran rather than Hamas, you have to go after the puppet master not just the puppet, you put the pressure on them, who then puts pressure on Hamas.

The consequences can come in all manner of forms for Iran from sanctions etc to supporting Israel in what is needed to take out underground nuclear sites.

You start small and increase pressure through a number of steps, sanctions, extra help for Israel to hit more military sites, then help with what is needed to hit underground nuclear sites, if still no results you have to make them suffer economically hitting oil sites etc, problem is you dont want to affect USA oil prices and shoot yourself in the foot, and you also dont want Iran people to support their government, so you need to be careful and smart.

But just the idea that the USA now are so much more supportive of Israel changes the whole game, before USA being so wishy washy and even holding Israel back with threats like they cant go into Raffa or restriction's on bombs etc was actually encouraging and rewarding Iran & it's proxies to stretch things out as long as they can, especially when they were happily seeing friction between both leaders, it was so counter productive.

@info sounds like he’s got a savage attack of priapism at the prospect of even more Arab blood being spilled, thou you really have to hand it to him for graduating from youtoob’s international school of diplomacy and foreign affairs … although someone should tell him that Nixon’s “grab them by the balls and let their hearts and minds follow” carpet bombing of Cambodia, a country not at war with the US is universally seen as a complete clusterfuck failure which further destabilised a legitimate government which saw the emergence of Pol Pot and the subsequent genocidal murder of up to 2.0 million Cambodians …. Of course all this is complex and @info doesn’t do complex ..
