Axios reports that the US has asked Russia to draft a new European security agreement.
It's amazing to me that not only do these two not understand that writing a 'European Security Agreement' that doesn't actually include the Europeans but doing so while the Russians are losing isn't going to get them anywhere.

Will this new Congress ask what happened to all those billions we shipped to them?
FFS
YES. WE KNOW WHAT THE UKRAINIANS ARE DOING WITH THE AID WE SEND THEM. We've always known.
I don't doubt that there is some graft, there unfortunately always is, even in times like WWII - it's unfortunately part of politics and just people being stupid and dishonest. But when I'm watching Bradley's and Abrams in combat, and A LOT OF THEM, we're pretty gd sure what's going on.
And hell, why would we even ask when JD Vance has repeatedly said "My proudest moment is when we cut the Ukrainians aid to nothing." WE AREN'T SENDING THEM ANY REAL MATERIAL AID ANYMORE, just sanctions and info.
GODDAMNIT I'M TIRED OF PICKING UP AFTER THIS NUMBSKULL ADMINISTRATION.

Will they ask about the US labs?
WTF WOULD WE HAVE LABS ANYWHERE NEAR RUSSIA, GIVING THEM EASY ACCESS TO OUR INFO????? EVEN BEFORE THE INVASION???? This might - might - be the single dumbest question to come out of this war.

You think Musk has contractual control of Starshield? A low-Earth-orbit satellite network for military, intelligence, and national security purposes?
Yes. Hell, yes.
It's an enormous money maker that gives his power-obsessed self direct control over geopolitical matters. I would bet any amount of money he knows exactly what is going on and is making both big-picture strategic decisions and quite possibly on-the-ground decisions down to the lowest private.
The only way he doesn't know is because he's farmed out his direct control to an underling willing to do his bidding so he can claim ignorance - ti would be an act of weaponized pasivity.
Anyway, back to the subject of the board...

I like the way you think. But as discussed before, fair value compensation would cost the taxpayer far too much
Perhaps. But I wonder how much it becomes worth if, as you propose, Europe finds him guilty of being a war criminal. If that happens, as you seem to think it might, does that not potentially guy both him and, by extension, his companies of their worth? I genuinely am curious.

To be fair 3 and a hallf years in a Finnish prison is probably a lot better than living in Moscow or St. Petersburg right now.

But clearly, they are going to investigate Musk's criminal manipulation of the SpaceX components. And you can't veto a Congressional indictment.

I've got half a billion dollars that says he did.....

He's guilty of the culpable homicide of numerous civilians in Ukraine and the Ukrainians can prove every bit of it. The Democrats would not be investigating this if they didn't already have this proof.
He’s no more guilty than FDR was for Pearl Harbor, Abe Lincoln for Vicksburg, or Truman for Hiroshima.
D's right, he's not guilty of homicide. At least, not from what he's been accused of.
But he's definitely hiding a relationship with Epstein and possible crimes, he's threatened our national security on multiple occasions, made indirect threats towards sitting member of Congress, interfered with a war repeatedly and absolutely sided with the wrong side, and I'm sure there's plenty more issues and problems where those came from. And we haven't even opened up the box of war crimes he might rightly be investigated for.
The guy's got too much influence, and he's got mental, emotional, and possibly substance abuse problems. You don't let a guy like this walk around in public and wave his gun around and repeatedly make both direct threats and innuendos and then conveniently park all those under gun rights. Somebody needs to take a closer look and possibly do something.

OH THANK GOD
I was up all night pacing at the thought that you'd end it all after the big defeats, especially with the Aggies losing left and right on the gridiron.
I'm happy to see your bright and smiling face here, Ag. Hope all's well.

Give it to Mike Johnson. He's a good yes-man and I'm sure the party diehards down in Louisiana will be happy to send another loyalist.

Dems would do well to try to take tillis up on this offer and shake out money for Ukraine now.
Actual money for Ukraine will never be broadly popular.
I’m wondering what Congress can pass on a non-monetary. Sanctions against Russia that can’t be waived. Licenses for Ukraine to make their own Patriot missiles. Waivers for allies moving weapons to Ukraine if needed.
Uh, there have been multiple Republicans who have backed Ukraine publicly, this isn't a red vs. blue issue.....
But Ukraine may end up being the 'are you for me or against me' issue. Most Republicans didn't say squat about ICE or DOGE or any of that nonsense, but there are plenty of ones who went out on a limb and said we needed to back Z and the Ukraine against the Russians, and given Trumps questionable relationship with Putin (one that WILL come under investigation, you just watch) this may be the issue that decides who gets to be a player in the Republican party going forward.

Russia's casualties reach yet another high:

You obviously don't understand the US political system and what will happen the next two years, NOTHING. Everything gets vetoed
Obviously there's truth to this. And my guess is that Trump remains his old self - stubborn, selfish, and obtuse.
But understand that this works both ways now and Congress is no longer a rubber stamp for his whims. If he wants ANYTHING he has to go through Congress and the courts to do it, and while he has the power of the pardon even that one has limitations.
That, and many of the people he brought to power - selfish, greedy, stupid, power-hungry thugs like himself - might see a way to get rid of him and take control of their own political careers. The ones who weren't up for re-election last night have to wonder if they would have survived that wave themselves and may be reading the political tea leaves for their own futures.
Where does Ukraine lie in that? Well, the war in Ukraine is still one of the few places he can right the ship with little feedback. Ukraine still needs the US, and he's still the president. He could bring Z back to the White House, make nice, offer him some sort of middle ground, and placate that one interest for next to nothing. Nothing outside of Putin, that is.....

Congrats my warmonger friends... The money machine is about to go into overdrive. Money will be removed from Israel and Iran and redistributed to Z. It's a grand day for all.
There's no prosecuting him for Presidential actions. The Supreme Court took that off the table.
