He's exaggerating the cost jumps, but requiring retesting of components with established safety records costs additional money. Manufacturers will pass that cost on to us.
I allege it looks corrupt to take Russian oligarch money to pay for your wedding, especially when your dad is the president and trying to negotiate peace in a Russian war.
Russia tends to give freebies like this to ingratiate themselves and make you look corrupt to your own people. I think Russia does this to divide Americans.
I think the DiGenova resignation. It shouldn't be long before we have news of new burn bags.
A political narrative to help politicians achieve political goals?

I don’t think Rodgers was ever really MAGA either. He’s more in that “conspirituality” lane where the crunchy wellness/psychedelic/awakening stuff overlaps with distrust of medicine, govt & other institutions, hence ayahuasca, RFK, Fauci/COVID, CT's, etc. That crowd can overlap with MAGA on a lot of issues without actually being MAGA, and Rodgers has said for years that he doesn’t really identify with either political side.

We may finally be getting to a phase where revelations (slow as they will be) will come via historians rather than governmental/law enforcement investigations.

Mueller had the same problem (unless I'm misreading you and you're talking about Mueller).
Context collapse distortion of meaning examples of the day. :lol: :cheers:
I didn't get "DIAF" for a while, but after awhile you start to be able to see death-wish acronyms like those magic-eye thingies.

This gives me inspiration to offer up to baw - for variety, try FOADIAF.
I believe the gentleman may want him to frick off and become deceased.
The CW around here is that the Russians have too much on their plate being virtually stalemated with Ukraine that they couldn't muster much and wouldn't even bother trying NATO.
Fair enough. I've been a slightly different version of that. :cheers:
You've traveled a distance, BeeF.
Yeah, I think that’s an important distinction. What was understandable in March or April 2020 doesn’t automatically justify something still being done a year later. One of the questions worth separating out is where people and institutions failed to update as the evidence and circumstances changed.
Yep. The clean stories are usually the problem. They’re easier to remember and argue with, but they leave out half the stuff you’d need to actually understand what happened.
That’s pretty close to where I’ve landed too. “They made some really consequential mistakes” and “therefore they must have been trying to hurt people” are two very different claims, and hindsight makes it easy to forget just how uncertain and threatening the situation looked at the beginning.
