Stay tuned tomorrow and I might do a series on their private jets if I procrastinate writing again.
HYPOTHETICALLY, the EU could pass sanctions on these oligarchs tomorrow and the European countries where some of these yachts are docked COULD make a move to seize them.
Once you are out of international waters and docked up, you have to follow the rules/regulations of that country.
I don't have a SoundCloud but I am being sued by a private intelligence consultant whose services many of the Russian oligarchs have used, after I wrote about his dealings:
Hostile takeover + selective leaking + emotionally charged rhetoric with little substance. It’s the same, boring playbook. #twitterfiles
Musk and the people with whom he’s surrounded himself are copy-pasting the faux rage machine (see: WikiLeaks, the laptop, masks, etc etc etc etc)
This isn’t an adult discussion about the limitations of online speech. It’s just clickbait for the dying platform.
Make conservatives think it’s an existential crisis to the world, make liberals rage quote tweet = Engagement. It’s such an easy formula for bad actors. It’s tired.
I know people are tired of "collusion" talk, but it doesn't mean that this isn't a huge five-alarm fire still.
Trump received millions (I've heard 8 figures) from Saudi to host the LIV Golf nonsense and now a big real estate deal. He's running for President tomorrow.
All the while, Trump had top secret code word documents in his office at his house.
Operative questions I've yet to see asked of either the Trump or Saudi sides: When and where did the LIV Golf negotiations take place?
Democrats lead in 214 House races. They have to take the lead and win 4 of these for the majority.
CA13, AZ6 look plausible. Maybe CA41? Maybe OR5?
CA22 isn't out of the question either. I think the Democrats best chance is to sweep CA13, CA41, and CA22 and pick up maybe the AZ6 seat or a Boebert recount?
The House is going to be at MOST a 7-seat lead for the GOP. If *everything* goes right for the Democrats, they could hold the House with 219 seats.
Imagine a 218-217 House... It's going to be a long 2 years.
