First, what is your understanding of "wealth distribution"?
We disagree.
It's a miracle nobody was killed.
HUBRIS AND ISOLATION LEAD VLADIMIR PUTIN TO MISJUDGE UKRAINE
Yesterday at 7:56 PM EDT
More than six weeks into his war against Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin is feeling the sting of failure.
Thousands of battlefield deaths. Three front-line retreats by the Russian military. Millions of Ukrainians who will never forgive Moscow. More isolation than ever - and perilously few goals achieved.

Good question - I don't think even China knows.
I probably shouldn't, but LOL!!!
Redistributing wealth stifles innovation.
Yes, Putin and his friends have been stealing from the Russian people for years. Indeed, share this info.
TFG said Putin was a "genius" and "savvy" for Ukraine invasion. https://news.yahoo.com/trump-calls-putin-genius-savvy-151552807.html
S&P DOWNGRADE INDICATES RUSSIA HEADED FOR HISTORIC DEFAULT
Associated Press
April 9, 2022
The credit ratings agency Standard & Poor's had downgraded its assessment of Russia's ability to repay foreign debt, signaling rising prospects that Moscow will soon default on external loans for the first time in more than a century.
The country has not defaulted on foreign debt since the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, when the Soviet Union emerged. Even in the late 1990's, following the Soviet Union's demise, Russia was able to continue to pay foreign debts with the help of international aid. It did default of domestic debt, however.

Thanks for pointing out my typo.
Changing the name of her party didn't change the ideology of the party.
She is following in her father's footsteps; she's a far right conserv and at one time called for France to leave the EU...We'll see if her attempt to soften her image is a winning strategy.
This is so true!
Le Pen is trying to clean up her act - she took down the pic of her meeting with Putin just before he invaded Ukraine and has reformulated her campaign message to not sound so conservative.
Le Pen has baggage, and it remains to be seen if the voters have a memory.
An interesting source for European news is France24.com - news from Paris, France in English.
I think that would be a nightmare to manage...the CTC allows families to cut their taxes and purchase what's needed for their children.
The Dems give voters too much credit for paying attention...TFG knows voters have a 5-minute attention span - he can tell them anything, no matter how outrageous, and get no pushback.
The WH shares part of the blame - instead of hammering home the benefits of the child credit tax credit, they moved onto other issues...I see the same mistake happening with the BBB program - how many voters even know their towns will benefit from repairing bridges before they collapse? In defense of the WH, they presume voters know they will benefit from safer bridges, ect., but the avg voter does not pay attention until election time and so far, the GOP has been a better messenger.
France's Pres Emmanuel Macron and conservative candidate Marine Le Pen will face each other in a run-off election on April 24.

Plans were in place.
"unpleasant" puts it mildly.
Yes - I'm still waiting for our Republican governor to condemn this guy's ignorance...
GOP OFFICIAL WHO CALLED FOR THE "LYNCHING" OF LLOYD AUSTIN REFUSES TO RESIGN
Yesterday at 3:31 PM
David Deitrich said in a Facebook post that Austin's efforts to root out white nationalists in the military was actually a ploy to "remove conservative, freedom-loving Americans from the roles". He said Austin and other Democratic leaders are "vile and racist", describing them as "stinking" N-words.
"If it's a civil war they want, they will get it in spades", he wrote. "Perhaps the best way to pull us back from the brink is a good public lynching".

Indeed.
I'm watching world news on my computer (France24.com) - it's interesting to get a world view of events.
The "quiet period" for France's election is now in effect - This period of legal prohibition on campaign communications is observed for 44 hours before every French presidential and legislative election.
The disgraceful behavior of some U.S. senators when questioning judge Brown during her SC nomination process was discussed as well as the childish behavior of Repub senators who walked out of the senate when the 53-47 vote was announced.
Strong words. I wish I understood Russian - the comment section must be interesting.

BIDEN: U.S. WILL REPOSITION U.S. PATRIOT MISSILE SYSTEM TO SLOVAKIA

Wall Street Journal
The S-300 is a long-range, air-defense system intended to protect large areas over a wide radius, a system familiar to Ukrainian forces.

I agree, it's about time the Dems go on the offense.
Hannity hates the public to know he was a house painter on Long Island - he wants the public to think of him as a deep thinker.
How does the GOP plan to regain power? We got a peak of just how during the Senate Judiciary questioning of newly minted SC justice Ketanji Brown Jackson - focus on social issues and not on issues that could benefit the lives of Americans.
Ohio' s GOP is the latest in search of a solution for a problem that doesn't exist - mimic FL's "don't say gay" law...

I heard Nicholle Wallace married NYT columnist Michael Schmidt last weekend.
I don't know much about John Fetterman, but he seems like a no-nonsense type of guy.
Oops! - you're right. How does the Senate race look so far?
During his rambling interview with the Wash Post yesterday, TFG crowed he is "the king of endorsements" and pols such as Ron DeSantis would not have won in FL if it wasn't for his endorsement - "Ron was at 3% and the day I endorsed him he won the race".
When asked about his endorsement of David Purdue for gov of Georgia and poll numbers consistently show Purdue falling behind GA's Gov Brian Kemp (R), TFG changed the subject to GOP pols who voted to impeach him were now retiring.
TFG asked the WP reporter if he should endorse Repub David McCormick or Mehmet OZ for gov of PA and said he would make a decision "in about a week".
TFG is still sensitive to the flack he gets over not going to the Capitol on Jan 6 after encouraging his people to go and "raise hell" - he deflected blame for the attack at the Capitol, saying it was Nancy Pelosi's fault and claimed that he wanted to go to the Capitol, but the SS would not allow him to go.

TRUMP SUDDENLY HEDGES ON GEORGIA GOVERNOR PICK AS HIS ENDORSEMENT POWERS WEAKEN
Yesterday, 2:46pm - Forbes
Former president Donald Trump acknowledged Tuesday former Senator David Purdue (R-GA) will have a difficult time defeating incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA), as his endorsed candidate struggles to make ground on Kemp's lead in the polls despite the ex-president launching repeated attacks on the governor, who he blames for not supporting his his false election claims.

I thought so too - I learned some things about Ben that I didn't know, albeit I read Walter Isaacson's book, Benjamin Franklin: An American Life.
Well, "we" as a country sat back and just shook our collective finger when Russia carpet-bombed Syrians and "we" did nothing.
Some point to our invasion of Iraq with NO cause and wonder how we can now condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
How to explain it to yourself? - Putin's invading forces are animals!
