https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2024/may/01/speaker-mike-johnson-marjorie-taylor-greene-updatesDonald Trump may say that he does not plan to push for a national abortion ban, but Kamala Harris told voters in Florida that they should not believe him. This is a warning of what is to come for all women in the US. Your body will no longer be yours, Trump and the Christian radicals will own it and force you to have children whether you want it or not. Even if someone rapes you, you will not be able to take a bus north to a democrat state to avoid having that children. Think carefully about what you want for you and your daughters - this ends up with them finding an illegal abortion clinic trying to scratch their uterus and probably leaving them without any possibility of having children in the future. You are in time to stop the madness.

Hey, llamame loco  pero no me gusta pagar impuestos. Tampoco me gusta ir a la carcel o que me multen por eso no quiero pagar impuestos pero por lo legal. Total que lo que estoy preguntando es donde tengo q vivir y durante cuanto tiempo para poder pasar una buena cantidad de bitcoin (es para el futuro claro) a cash pagando lo minimo. Basta con ser residente fiscal un año en alguna jurisdiccion favorable o como? Hay formas legales mas fáciles si estoy dispuesto a desplazarme o montar empresas? |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v063wuJtM0Youtube has been frequently demonetising channels that report on the Ruzzian invasion of Ukraine from the Ukrainian perspective. The bot-troll farms in Ruzzia create bots that massively accuse the videos or channels of all short of violations. It may be time to seek alternatives to Youtube as their censorship system seems to be based on the idea of first kill then ask / first demonetise and then... nothing, just kill.

It is said in ancient times that the dreams of a slave are nothing but to become the master of the slaves. I say that many in our society have become slaves that have even smaller dreams - namely buying a bigger car to go to their slave work or get a bigger slave hut.
do you think you are a slave? That your work does not make any difference & others benefit from it while you just run to keep on your feet?
I think that one worthy dream is to try that you children are not to be in the same situation. This has a lot to do with gaining financial freedom for them.

So yes, Trump has a huge support from the Republican bases, although you could argue that some may decide not to vote for a now convicted rapist according to some pols. But what is the problem now? The cost is becoming unbearable. Trump is certainly not going to self-finance anything related to his political career (he may not have it!), so every trial, like the one for raping and then besmirching the victim (85 million), the "little problem" in Newyork (385 million) and what ever is to come have to come from the donors and will not go to the campaign.
Would it not be better to "dump the Trump", let him pay (or not pay) for his own mistakes and support a candidate - possibly with a similar agenda but less stupid and less crazy - that is clean and can dedicate the funds to the campaign??

The US by means of Trump is considering not supporting Europe - even, in Trumps words, encouraging Ruzzia to do "all they can" to Europe. Given this situation, Europe should consider becoming militarily independent from the US. There is no reason to keep the US bases in Europe nor to allow their forces to be stationed in Europe. I think that Europe will have to effectively spend that money in weapons and military production given the situation we are observing in Ukraine, but there is no reason why that should be spent buying US weapons. Republicans will put "America First" meaning US first, so EU should think about Europe first policies in defence. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/11/donald-trump-says-he-would-encourage-russia-to-attack-nato-countries-who-dont-pay-billsDonald Trump has said he would “encourage” Russia to attack any of the US’s Nato allies whom he considers to have not met their financial obligations.
The Joe Biden White House immediately rebuked the former president’s comments, saying in a statement: “Encouraging invasions of our closest allies by murderous regimes is appalling and unhinged – and it endangers American national security, global stability, and our economy at home.”
Jens Stoltenberg in Washington DC, Nato chief says Trump remarks may put US and EU lives at risk. Jens Stoltenberg, Nato’s secretary-general, also lambasted Trump’s comments. “Nato remains ready and able to defend all allies,” Stoltenberg said in a statement.
“Any suggestion that allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security, including that of the US, and puts American and European soldiers at increased risk. I expect that regardless of who wins the presidential election the US will remain a strong and committed Nato ally.” This is like "paying from protection" from Trumps narrow view of the world. |

Look, you can be old and rich or young an poor, but being old and poor is bad shit.
A surefire way of doing the wrong kind of things is to spend your money early or try to live a good life quickly without thinking about the future. Or if you have an ok job or income to think that is enough, even if you cannot save.
All young people, understand that time an money are linked. It is not the same to invest early than late, it is not the same to invest more early that try to invest more later. 100 is worth 100 today, but 800 in 20 years if you play it safe but well. Make no mistake, you will need to start creating your wealth.

It has been reported across several media. Iran has claimed responsibility for the recent explosions near the consulate, likely in response to the attacks of US in Yemen, hitting the Houtis bases which in turn was an action derived of the Houtis attacks of ships in the Red Sea linked to Israeli actions in Gaza in response to the killing of civilians by Hamas, motivated by ... well you know. This is an escalation and it is likely we will see further actions along the next few weeks. The worrying bit is that you only know when the scalation started, not where it ends. https://abcnews.go.com/International/explosions-reported-us-consulate-iraq-iran-claims-responsibility/story?id=106390671From a chair-general perspective, scalation is about who has more to gain from it. I am not sure Iran has more than the US to gain from further escalation. If you ask me this is an strategic mistake. |

I was curious about what is the official figure (more on that below) of money that have been given to Trump for his campaign. It turns out that in 2020 the biggest donors, above 1 million or so summed 208 million. Let's say, for the shake of simplicity, that all the rest of donors combined are another 92 million or so and all sums 300 Million. https://www.opensecrets.org/2020-presidential-race/donald-trump/contributors?id=N00023864This leads me to think: (a) there must be much more dirty money being moved under the radar and (b) It would be relatively simple for a foreign Ruzzian, Chinese, government to put forward that kind of money (peanuts really - it is the cost of a modern Radar / antiair system) to influence the elections. What are your thoughts of this? Would it be easy for a foreign government to get a candidate that, lets say, would be keen on given then ample preferential treatment and let them go wild on a neighbour country for example? |

It is clear that Hungary has, at least with Viktor Orbán, an agenda that is completely opposite to the rest of the European Union. It is not the usual and continuous bargaining, trading and adjustments that happen on a daily basis in the EU for nearly any agreement - that is healthy and by design, it is a completely different strategic agenda. Personally, I suspect Viktor is simply getting paid, but I have no proof. I wonder how can a process of expulsion be implemented. After all, the contribution of Hungary is nearly nil, but the trouble their government is causing is massive. There is a process for "suspension", I wonder if it is the time to suspend. How can a country be kicked out of the EU?
Expulsion. While a state can be suspended, there is no provision to expel a member state outright. The idea appeared in the drafting of the European Constitution and the Lisbon Treaty but failed to be included. https://dailynewshungary.com/this-is-how-hungary-could-be-kicked-out-of-the-eu/ |

To everyone and in case someone can make the case to Youtube, yet another channel providing information on Ukraine has been taken down by youtube, when the last Ruzzian trolling campaign is still fresh on a fake reporting of a multitude of channels on "copyright infringements". Youtube has to go a long way in creating a balanced environment for people who are reporting accurately.

There are indication in that sense, Venezuela has been firstly under Hugo Chavez then under Maduro's regime with obvious strong links with the military (a dictatorship in practical terms). This has not done any favour to Venezuela - from a rich country that had a fabulous living standard thanks to the oil industry, to something like a meme country that is mentioned to signify lack o governance (hint for those who are into populism and "saviours"). https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/guyana-will-stay-alert-after-venezuela-vote-territorial-dispute-vp-2023-12-04/This war would be about... guess what... yes oil. Some sources say that the war has been officially declared and it could actually go beyond the declaration and into a real war. Brazil is likely to support Guyana, but it may just not be enough. We shall see. |

Hi, I recently got a shout (you know, oversized text in big-bold letter) by one of the usual thread polluting creatures that we have to live with in the forum calling me "criminal". Is this all right with the rules of the forum? do we need to live with this just because we want to have a discussion? I am copying here the essence of the conversation, it is obviously longer. ~ If the focus is about taking control of the government, isn't that what the Presidency is all about? <-snip-> ...es Trump's property, that is something that they can do for themselves. But they can't force their valuation on the owner of it. The owner values it as he sees fit. Now, I know that you might be upset with Trump, because he wouldn't give money and armament to your beloved Ukraine. So, you like it when you can steal money from the American people without looking like the criminal that you are! Incredible... There is something you continuously fail to understand: Being elected President does not grant you unlimited powers, is exactly the contrary, you power is strongly restricted. - No, as president you should not "take control of the government" beyond your constitutional functions. e.g. replacing general attorneys and the like. And you certainly do not get to self-extend your mandate just because you think you won. - The democrats won the election. There is no proof of illegal wrongdoing. If there is, you present it to the press, the judges, etc ... but that did not happen, because there isn't. - Sending money to other countries removes it from your economy, thus may reduce inflation, but I do not think that matters much. - You can brag about the price of your properties in the golf club, but real state has an objective evaluation when you go to the bank to ask for a credit. If you say it is double it is fraud. This is not about "the price you'd sell it for, it is the market valuation (dude, capitalism 101). - We do know because he is stupid enough to lie in written, in official accounting documents, right below where it says "All the information provided is true, I understand that if not I may be committing fraud". If you have any sensible argument this is a good moment to express it. Otherwise, do a favour to this forum and stop blurting shit. I am not upset at Trump, I fear that if what he does is Ok, the US is no longer the government of the people, but of the mobs. Re your accusation of me being a criminal, I request you to present any evidence or remove the insults. You will get a reputation thread on that one. Blah, blah, blah... You totally miss the point. Creating new money to give to other countries (Ukraine) doesn't do anything at all if the money is never spent by Ukraine. But when it is spent, it causes inflation in the country that is the main user of that money. If you are a recipient of the benefit of the US money that is sent to Ukraine, you have stolen value from the American people... and should be ashamed of yourself. Of course, you may not have any choice in the matter. But if this is the case, perhaps you should consider immigrating to Russia so that you don't partake of stealing from Americans. What you call "bla bla" is called arguments in the rest of the world. You have tried several times to provoke me into providing personal information on where I leave and who I am or who I deal with. Again, you will need to do much better and in any case is irrelevant to an argument based conversation - again, I understand why are you a Trump supporter (from China perhaps). <-snip-> BTW if you were a true bitcoin supporter, inflation would be irrelevant to you, even a good thing in fact. |

It seems that they have at least been able to send out reasonably pacific communicates, but nothing like a major line of common progress other than we understand each other and we agree we should not try to kill each other... just yet. China severed military-to-military contacts with the U.S. after then-House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited democratically governed but Chinese-claimed Taiwan in August 2022. Restoring the contacts is a top U.S. goal to avoid miscalculations between the two militaries. I wonder what has happened in the backroom. Biden came out very serious and Xi did not ask for an Uber to the nearest brothel, so none of them seemed happy about the conversations held. Perhaps Xi is thinking on where will he now export the Fentanil precursors... (pleeease let it be Ruzziaaaa, the troops could benefit from it and the people would believe the propaganda much better). The two sides also agreed to set up a counter-narcotics working group. Beijing has said it will curb the export of chemicals used to make fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that has sparked a deadly drug epidemic in the US.
“Planet Earth is big enough for the two countries to succeed,” Xi said. Asked by reporters how the talks went, Biden responded “well” And now we know you are lying...  Jokes apart, there have been several cases along history in which a powerful nation is no longer the most powerful nation. It tends to end in a massive conflict, but lets hope this time is different given the stakes. https://www.ft.com/content/580731f6-8500-4a94-b49c-217a1c95da4chttps://www.reuters.com/world/us/veiled-swipe-china-blinken-tells-apec-us-believes-free-region-2023-11-14/ |

I have heard someone (Vivek Ramaswamy) calling Zelensky a "comedian on cargo pants". There was a moment in which Zelensky said "I want weapons no at ride", while he was in Kyiv when the Ruzzis were at the gates and missiles were landing in the middle of the city. Vivek has never seen war, nor even anything close to serving in the military. He is a hustler in a suit that has built his "career" fooling others into giving him money. What would have Vivek said if he had been in Zelensky's shoes? Weapons or ride? I think we all know the answer, don't we. Yet there he is, insulting and following the Kremlin line. Who is paying this guy? I think we all know that answer too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qliw4lIzi_M1- Ukraine is not a paradise of democracy - true, nor the US. 2- Parties have been banned and elections may not be held - true, Kremlin financed parties were banned. Elections during war may be impossible. However there is opposition in Ukraine and there are radio and TV channels that openly criticize the government. 3 - Zelensky is a Nazi (Warning - Kremlin line red flag) - unlike, since Zelensky is Jew. 4 - Zelensky is a comedian in cargo pants - False, Zelensky is a commedian in military clothes. Ronald Reagan (ex-US president) was an actor in cowboy boots, Swarzenegger (ex-California governor) was an actor on steroids. 5 - Luhansk and donesk are of majority Russian speaking - True, and Russian is an official language there since 1994 without any problem whatsoever.Oh, BTW, US is mainly English speaking, so... should the UK take over? 6 - These were not Ukraine before 2014 - False. Just false. 7 - "I am saying something that is not in the mainstream media" - False, it has been commented a million times. 8 - This is not a battle "good" vs "evil" - It is democracy and Western values vs Putin dictatorship. It depend if that is not "evil enough" for you. 9 - The are "banning Christians" - False. Ukraine is a Christian country, mostly. Some of the Orthodox priests that were doing politics pro-Ruzzia (instead of actually doing religion) have been banned but you can practice Christian rituals in Ukraine as much as you want - but risking getting Ruzzian missile while doing so. Overall - Repeating directly Kremlin falsehoods and then going for the half-truth, half-exaggerated and a third half of plain lies. (yes three halfs, it is ok for the Republicans as long as you speak in the name of God). But to understand the guy, is better to know him https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivek_RamaswamyHe is a hustler, has lived his whole life taking an loosing others money. Perhaps is ok loosing the Kremlin's money too? |

This is not a pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian post, this is a pro-humanitarian post. I am not taking a party and what I write here is just a practical concern on people, whoever they are. In the current situation, medical facilities in Gaza cannot deliver the services that people who are ill or injured require. Israel is unlikely to allow a flow of medical supplies since these could potentially be used by Hamas (I am not here to judge how good this argument is).
There is however no reason why hospital ships could not be used to care for children, pregnant women, old people and others that require special attention. Even men and women in general.

I have seen at least two major content creators that speak about the war in Ukraine, with bias to Ukraine to be honest, complaining about their content being considered "copyrighted", "unsuitable" and either banned, de-monetised or both. One of the guys tried simply reading a nursery rhyme - this is a video of someone simply reading a popular poem for 5 minutes - and got it de-monetised / banned. Another guy got a "copyright infringement" for a video in which he shows his webpage and speaks about the content he creates. No music in the background, no videos not images other than generic pictures of stuff. If anyone in youtube is reading this, please know that your system is being used to stop freedom of speech and stealing money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FOGXumeXd8This seems to be the way you can actually help (other than paying the guy or subscribe, etc...) https://youtu.be/2FOGXumeXd8?t=264 |

I am thinking of one very particular user that has the habit of wall-texting otherwise interesting thread making absolutely wild claims, linking "conspiration" sites like 5 times a day and just making any claim that you could wildly dream of without any - not going to say proof - evidence whatsoever even of the lowest quality or minimal credibility.
Is there a limit to what can be dumped in posts, day after day?

As some of you may know, part of the trials that are held in relation to Trumps alleged crimes are public, which will provide some publicity to the guy but will also be hopefully revealing of the facts. Trump is indicted under the RICO law in Georgia and this one will be publicly available, which allow to judge people who take part in a "conspiracy" or plan to carry out a criminal activity. This means that there are 19 defendants. For now, there are quite a few that are trying to jump the ship and have their cases severed (separated from the main one), however the RICO plays against them as if you commit one act on the "plan" you are in for all - although degrees of punishment may vary. Here is the first issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZblUe4cLvQIt is a very long discussion between two parties about severing one of the cases, so do not expect thrill and chill at this point. |

Not that long ago, early learning maths were about learning the tables, being quick at multiplying and understanding some basic problems. I feel that today that is not going to be enough and is not either the best use of the pupils time for teachers and schools. What do we humans have to change about teaching to face a future with much more powerful machines and sophisticated AI?
