A new inflation reading shows the small business tipping point has been reached

[gustafson]

Apparent to who? Sounds like the typical neocon/Yewkrainian spin.

If you look at the history of persecuting the ethnic Russians in the Donbass that led to the revolt and takeover of two regions it becomes more clear that Putin's goal is to defend those breakaway regions and damage Ukraine's ability to retake them by destroying key military assets. He is going slow because he wishes to accomplish this with a minimum of Russian casualties. The entire campaign has been one of destroying assets and then retreating to a position of strength. I seriously doubt he intends to take over all of Ukraine but it is clear that he intends for those breakaway regions to remain independent allies of Russia and serve as a buffer on the border.

We've been lied to since the beginning, not only about Russia's motives and actions but also about their capabilities. Not long ago we were hearing the Russia was "weak" and would soon be defeated and driven from all of Ukraine. That hasn't happened and as Ukraine has suffered more defeats they are screaming for "more weapons" while their allies here gin up stories of atrocities, rapes, and even chemical warfare. What next? will they be accused of turning Ukrainians into soap and lampshades, an accusation against the Germans that first surfaced during WWI?

Not sure how you managed to connect that with what I posted, but only 'Trumpers' ever lost in the wild west crypto sphere right Jim

Most everything with the trump name on it is like a burning building. You have trump university, trump steaks, trump airlines, trump casino and I'm still trying to figure out how you bankrupt a place where people just come in and give you their money. Kind of figures that trump crypto would be worthless too. At least worthless to the little guy trumpers that lost their shirts on this fiasco.

I'd steer very clear of any type of investment that had anything to do with trump. It would be much more satisfying to drive around my town and throw hundred dollar bills out the window. At least it would benefit the town and not the orange grifter. And both would leave a person without their initial investment. Because that's how trump rolls.

How's that "truth social" coming along?

And as for "vaporizing the Kremlin" you are clearly ignorant of the realities of nuclear war. If Brainless Joe actually was stupid enough to try that the retaliation would be devastating, not only from land-based ICBMs but also sea launched missiles from Russian "Boomers". Grow up! This isn't a football game and if it escalates to World War Three most of the world will suffer.

Figures that you would be on the side of a dictator that invaded another country. Might makes right should be the motto for the republicon party.

"invaded another country" Not always limited to a "dictator". In the case of the United States we have a long history initiating regime change which may or may not include an outright invasion but often comes with the blessing of both Democrats and Republicans.

It appears that Candace Owens speaks the truth. Of course Democrats don't like Candace Owens. Some say all the equipment left behind in Afghanistan was useless junk. Some refer to what was left behind as having value to our enemy.

Well said---Bravo! Anyone who wants a sound investment with solid returns immune from most oversight by the United States would be wise to look into buying into Biden Family ventures.

I would probably follow the Pelosi family's trading history. They've done VERY well for themselves. The Bidens are pikers in comparison.

From what I know, Nancy has never had a public sector job and has amassed a multi million dollar fortune, from a Representatives salary. Not a single Russian, or Ukrainian oligarch to be found.

Just good genes, I guess.

Take a 50 million dollar jet and crash it and it's still a 50 million dollar jet. How is the taliban doing with all of that loot? Are they flying any of the planes or helicopters? My guess is that they aren't flying anything that we left and never will.

And it takes a real genius to care what your conservative talking head candAce owens thinks. Maybe you should ask hannity what he thinks while you're at it.

There's also a difference between "regime change" and taking over a country. I'm well aware that the USA isn't exactly clean when it comes to meddling in other countries affairs. But that doesn't make it right for putin to bomb Ukraine.

I was totally against our involvement with Iraq but we had a bunch of draft dodging neocons running our country at the time and they lied us right into war. It's almost like they don't have any skin in the game as in their children fighting the wars.

I wouldn't vote for the orange goon if I was insane. Ergo, a person would need to be insane to vote for him.

You like that "might makes right" thing, don't you?

Where did you get the number 522 from? Your trump BS decoder ring?

The number is likely much higher than that. I can help you out with that though. Keep in mind that this article is about 5 1/2 years old so there are probably more to add to the list. It seems like he has a couple of failed internet sites like truth social. LOL

Now cue up the "others have failed businesses too" line. I'm guessing that dollar for dollar, your hero has more failed businesses than anyone else does.

I have zero doubt that if trump bought a junkyard and was required to put a value on it he'd use the new car price for every wrecked car in there. That's how he rolls. Do business with trump and you will get screwed. It doesn't seem to matter if it's a sham university or a sham cryptocurrency.

How's he coming with his begging for his minions to buy him a new jet?

What happened to all of the bragging from the trumpers about their bloated 401K's? Even with the turmoil in the markets right now the markets are much above where they were when Biden took office. Without a doubt Biden is just riding the same wave that trump rode that has been happening since Obama/Biden saves the day for our economy. Of course I don't expect any of the trumpers to remember the near record unemployment and foreclosures that w bush brought us by starting two wars on credit cards.

I'm not up on the "Biden family ventures". Please do tell what failed businesses they have been involved in. Here's a short list of failed trump businesses. The list of fairly old so it's likely longer by now.

This may shock you but some people are capable of investing and making a lot of money doing it. Just because your guy trump crashes everything he touches doesn't mean that it happens to everyone.

So, should a vote come up to go to war with Russia over it's aggression in Ukraine would you support a "yes" vote?
