Let me also say, I think this time is a very different event. Trump isn’t the same, and, the Republicans are increasingly upset with some of the things that are happening - particularly the blatant quid pro quo with Russia. The Republicans base hates it.

Thune *can’t* refuse, that’s the point of impeachment.

Prune60 - could you give me some context? I’m unfamiliar with how the bonds are structured, rate, terms, maturation dates, etc. On the face of it with my limited understanding, it looks like the return is less than inflation? Is that what we are seeing here?

In a disaster like the one in Texas, FEMA typically deploys hundreds of people; by Monday evening, the embattled agency had reportedly sent only 86, in part owing to cost-cutting processes put in place by Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security.

In the wake of disaster, people are relying on the volunteer fire department, the backbone of the Hill Country.

I’d say your lack of concern explains a great deal; certainly why you fail to see a connection between those things and threats to our own welfare presented by Xi and his regime.

Yes, but because of the Ukraine war, they have a lot less people to house.
