I don't agree that an ABM system is pointless, since it might be able to take down one or two missiles, but overall it's pretty technically impossible and stupid, and it will balloon the debt by another few trillion. So of course Trump is all for it.

I have 4 minor criticisms of THFRO The pronunciation of Туполев varies throughout the film. All British involvement (as in the book) is omitted. Audiences can't follow the complexities and realize that there are TWO saboteurs. It's a bit triumphalist, as is common in American war movies.

Or look at this chart. Within every cohort the gender pay gap rises with age, and the entire adjustment came from forcing the starting pay gap lower for new entrants. This is a *huge* relative status decline for young men both relative to women and relative to older men.

I still say Vance is worse on sucking up to Putin (and sucking is very much the right word) but Europe will erupt in celebration when Trump dies.

Trump continues to take the Corbynista comfort blanket of calling polls fake. If pollsters really were involved in a conspiracy to help Democrats, they would portray the various races as on a knife edge. And they aren't. If anything the bluewave polls give Gaza-obsessives an excuse to pout, again.

if Brexit had that much effect, given the border with Schengen was there before, it implies lots of people were only buying in London because they could later get an EU passport, and they can still get a UK one, but it's not EU any more. Not really the people we want in the country?

The price of oil getting so high is good for Democrats, not just because they will win, but because they won't be blamed for these new normal prices. As prices fall, if they do, they can add a fuel tax on as a price stabilizer.

I'd argue, correctly, that the US should be willing to fight wars during election campaigns and even on election day, but I'm pretty sure Iran is going to make sure of it this time. Trump can probably be goaded into bombing Iran on election day itself. Probably unhelpful to swing seat Republicans

Once again the hard left are arguing that 1 foiled terror attack on a military target in England is reason enough for the UK to end the relationship with the US, leave Nato and ally with Iran and Russia. Not against the war, just on the other side. The Islamist and Mafiocracy side, for some reason
