Matt, This seems more like Putin's response to the recent U.S. and NATO discussions about launching missiles into Russia. He's positioning hypersonic missiles in close proximity to the U.S., and he recently told Europeans that they have no defense against hypersonic missiles.

W.- not hypersonic land attack missiles. Putin wouldn't dare do that. Russia is not a military power, compared to the U.S. They are a very strong propaganda power.

Steve Thomas Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 The stunning reason Donald Trump thinks he’s going to win by John Stoehr June 13, 2024 https://www.rawstory.com/raw-investigates/raw-story-trump/?utm_source=breaking “He offered a dooky sandwich in 2016 and got lucky. Just enough people in just enough places thought a dooky sandwich was better than a female president. He offered it again in 2020, and he lost. Most people didn’t want a dooky sandwich because it’s a dooky sandwich. But because he’s surrounded by people – billionaires, Republicans, Fox – who tell him Americans love eating dooky, here he is, in 2024, with more of the same. That’s the most striking thing about his interviews with Time magazine. Not the scary things he said, though they are scary. The most striking thing is that he’s running the same campaign he ran the last two times. That’s what happens when you’re prevented from feeling the consequences of your actions. History doesn’t matter. History never happened.” Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like Trump coming into some podunk and getting up in front of a crowd and not remembering where he is, and then he starts insulting the place, and the crowd just wets their pants because they think he's right! heh heh On 6/12/2024 at 9:14 PM, W.

Steve Thomas Posted Friday at 12:45 PM Share Posted Friday at 12:45 PM Journalists barred from observing first day of Idaho Republican State Convention By Clark Corbin June 13, 2024 https://www.rawstory.com/journalists-barred-from-observing-first-day-of-idaho-republican-state-convention/ COEUR D’ALENE – News reporters were not allowed to observe any committee meetings or events during the first day of the Idaho Republican State Convention on Thursday at Coeur d’Alene Resort. The state convention takes place every two years. Republican delegates from counties across Idaho will spend three days voting on proposed rules, resolutions, platform changes and, finally, electing the party’s chairperson. News reporters may not be allowed to observe or attend any of it — a departure from allowing reporters to observe the general sessions in the past. The Idaho Republican Party also blocked reporters who are not registered Republicans from attending the Idaho Republican Presidential Caucus on March 2. We just love democracy. You know, the will of the people and all that stuff. So, we’ll do everything in secret. At a resort. Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Thomas Posted Friday at 01:22 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:22 PM (edited) Trump Floats One Weird Idea To Replace The U.S. Income Tax By Jonathan Nicholson Jun 13, 2024 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trumps-weird-idea-to-replace-income-tax-system_n_666b5743e4b076909e1dab23 “Former president Donald Trump on Thursday raised the prospect of scrapping the U.S. income tax system and replacing it with something very different: much higher tariffs on imported goods. “Most intriguing policy idea from the GOP meeting at the Capitol Hill Club this morning: Trump briefly floated the concept of eliminating the income tax and replacing it with tariffs,” said Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) in a social media post, adding a monocle-clad emoji face at the end. Citing sources inside the meeting, CNBC also reported Trump had raised the idea of an “all tariff policy.” In one way, Trump’s idea would simply be a return to the past. Prior to the imposition of the income tax in 1913, tariffs were a main source of government revenue. Trump hinted at that idea by reportedly praising President William McKinley at the meeting Thursday.” Oh Gee, let’s MAGA! Back to the Great Depression! All in Favor Say Aye!
