I don't follow back people without profiles. And if you're one of those people who pivots to insults and vulgarity, you'll get a block. Go to X.
If you don't like my opinons, feel free to discuss civilly, or to block me.

All completely true, but has he exited from even *acting* like he's involved?
I do think that matters, because it has some bearing on how Europe proceeds.

Trump is used to doing Russian money-laundering with Deutshcebank, so his calculations are a bit off.

Trump, on the other hand, would have announced he was paying their bills, then not sent the money.

Entirely plausible.
I've seen some posts here which say that every single one of the eight Senators who voted with the Republicans receive significant donations from either airlines (American Airlines, across the board) or aircraft manufacturers (such as Boeing).

Yep, and I see people like Jasmine Crockett, AOC and IL candidate Kat Abughazaleh stepping up and doing things the old guard is not gutsy enough to do.

"Alphas" from 1870 to 1930 include liars and weaklings like Jay Gatsby, Charles Bovary, Fyodor Karamazov and Soames Forsyte. Even "manly characters" in Hemingway end up emasculated and destroyed and sometimes literally had their genitals shot off in the war.

This is like in the old 1940s movies where the woman wears glasses so we know she's smart.

Any piece of literature performed by a talented actor is great, but that Musk's premise fails because Greek epic poems were composed as recitable, through its use of dactylic hexameter. Wilson did not attempt that high-wire walk in her translation (she uses unrhymed iambic pentameter, which helps).

Musk forgets it was meant to be listened to in Ancient Greek, as epic poems are written with meter and cadence (specifically, dactylic hexameter) that cannot be replicated in English translations. It's virtually impossible to do that.
So The Iliad is actually meant to be read in the present day.

I'm sure Hassan was tapped as an easy sacrificial lamb because she already announced she's not running again. The rest of them, other than King I think, are not up for election in 2026. Definitely looks like a set-up.
