Because congress gave that power to the executive long ago.

Why can't he use Congress, like the constitution demands? :dunno:

still don’t understand how this is supposed to work when the regime is still in power sans one dude

Let me help you:

We gave her two choices: Suddenly become very US friendly. Kick out the Chinese, Russians, and Cubans. Allow us to get your economy moving again. Swap oil for food and other things your people need. Make some money for yourself. Stay in power.

Or:

Take a hooded plane ride to the Brooklyn detention center like your old boss.


She chose the first option.

It's not hard. It's really brilliant. A nod to the Trump Administration for this one. Beats the shite out of W's version of regime change.

Also showing the world exactly what we're gonna do in Cuba as well.
Russian capital investment back into their production is basically zero. So their numbers are 300,000 bpd below their OPEC+ allotment, and falling. They will soon have lost 1 million bpd which is one reason Trump is trying to bring Venezuela back online to keep prices low.

But percentages don’t tell you anything. They all equal 100%. The relevant numbers is the amount of the revenues Russia is bringing in compared to four years ago.


Exactly. The key number in the percentages is that two customers are now over 80% of their market. So they have way less leverage or room for negotiation.

The key number is that in 2019 Russian oil and gas exports were $186 billion. In 2025 they were about $100 billion. 2026 is forecast in the range of $80-$85 billion.

What is saving their arse is gold. That price has tripled since Covid. And gold exports are up to something like $45 billion. That's not plugging the entire oil and gas shortfall, but it's helping keep them afloat.

So I just pulled up the box score for this afternoon's game.

It's halfway through the 3rd inning. We have made 4 errors. :lol: :wah:

I guess I am gonna have to dig through the numbers and figure out who made them. But I have some guesses.

One on the pitcher. One on the catcher. One on the 3B. And one on the SS (Randle). :violin:

Second edit: 5 errors now through 5

Owen Paino and Brayden Randle

I don't mean to call them out too harshly. But if we are going to make an Omaha run this year, I think Paino is going to have to be part of the mix.

I let myself get too excited about Paino as a freshman, and he predictably melted under pressure. His defense was so bad, we had to bring in Luke Chen who was decent in the field. But neither of those guys could hit.

So we move Brayden Randall to SS. He has two errors in one inning. So we bench his arse and bring Paino in for game 3. He promptly goes 0 for 4 with three Ks and an error of his own.

I know the season is super young. But we wouldn't have made our 2022 run without Jacob Gonzales. And we won't make a 2026 run unless one of those guys can stop making errors, and start hitting the baseball.

Because at 6'1" I look and feel better in the 195# range. 180-185# I look gaunt. My kids tell me I looked ike a cancer patient at that weight. So I backed off.

helped you lose 50 pounds and keep it off for 4 years?

Yeah. There's a reason these drugs are so popular. For most people they work well and are easily tolerated.

could take a half dose every other week and probably get into the 180-185 range if I wanted to.

Why don’t you?

Because I don't want to.
quote:

How did you make out?

Life changing.

No side effects or health problems. Ive maintained the weight loss. Hovering around 200 now down from 250.

If I feel myself gaining weight or losing discipline, I just take an injection. But I probably take 3 or 4 a year now. Instead of one per week.

If I keep taking this once a week I would look like a skeleton. So for me, taking the whole dose every week isn't close to necessary.

I could take a half dose every other week and probably get into the 180-185 range if I wanted to.

But T1gerNate told us told us this was the beginning of the end for the Donbas.... and he posts 2 or 3 maps a day. So he has some real insight into the situation.

No. The only question this judge will answer is whether Chambliss has met the requirements to receive a temporary injunction while the case makes its way through the courts.

Sure there's innuendo but that's not vulgarity.

The language isn't the half of it. Whether it's vulgarity, profanity, or violence.

It's a song that celebrates sexual promiscuity and denegrates marriage and monogamy. It's the celebration of a sordid culture. And they wonder why they need bailouts and subsidies in order to have the basics.

They're a failed society symptomatic of a bad culture.
Auntie asked me if I have a lot of girlfriends, ayy, a lot of girlfriends
Today I have one, tomorrow I'll have another, heh, but there's no wedding
Auntie asked me if I have a lot of girlfriends, ayy, a lot of girlfriends
Today I have one, tomorrow I'll have another, ayy

[Refrain: Bad Bunny]
I'm gonna take them all to the VIP, the VIP, hey
Say hello to auntie
Let's take a selfie, say "cheese"
Let the ones I already fricked smile
In a VIP, a VIP, ayy
Say hello to auntie
Let's take a selfie, say "cheese"
Let those who have already forgotten about me smile

[Verse: Bad Bunny]
I really like the Gabriela's
The Patricia's, the Nicole's, the Sofía's
My first girlfriend in kindergarten, María
And my first love's name was Thalia
I've got a Colombian who writes me every day
And a Mexican I didn't even know about
Another one in San Antonio that still loves me
And the ones from PR that are all mine
A Dominican who is a fresh hottie, ayy
Fresh, fresh hottie
The one from Barcelona that came by plane
And says that my dick is fire
I let them play with my heart
I'd like to move in with all of them to a mansion
The day I get married I'll send them an invitation
Boy, stop that

Well you're right about that. Good catch.
