“He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this state,” Habba added.

“Rules for thee, not for mee!”

As far as I can tell this was intended to be a Venera probe, possibly it would have been Venera 9, but because it failed in earth orbit it was classified as “Kosmos”.

It’s a Venera probe! The probe missions of the Soviet space program were remarkable. What a technological feat to get these machines all the way to Venus (of all places) and send data and pictures back, in the 1970s!

“felt”? He was kidnapped. By the state.

I’ve invested all of my retirement savings in bottle caps. I think I’ll be fine.

I think the writer just couldn’t resist the pun. A bit myopic of them.

Great! So I’ll have to pay way less income tax next year, right?

… right?

Just fucking do it already. America is rapidly being destroyed and all the Democrats will have got to show for it in the future history books is “They did their utmost to avoid taking any possibly biased-looking decisions.”

You’re not wrong, though I’m not so sure about blaming “welfare teat-sucking”. EU right wingers in many countries have pushed hard for decades to slowly dismantle the welfare state, while also neglecting European security. The rich helped the rich get richer, and everyone else is paying the price. Clink clink.

Tariffs are from what I’ve read, according to economists anyway, a lose-lose for both parties. They’re apparently useful only for obvious things like targeted protection of specific vulnerable domestic industries. I cant begin to understand what Trump is even trying to accomplish here. Blanket tariffs seem just self-destructive.
