Putin stole a Super Bowl ring from Patriots owner Robert Kraft 20 years ago. Putin and Trump are both bullies who get off on wielding their power to dominate others.

It's the exact same cruel evil and unearned privilege seen in Republicans today. Hegseth would do this in a heartbeat if he could get away with it; any of Trump's carnival of monsters would.
A recent Politico poll indicates that Democrats prefer a Newsom presidential bid over Kamala Harris.
Like asking if I prefer being hanged or stabbed
It's a Dem politician vs. electorate split. Normally that would result in the politicians adjusting their positions so they don't get primaried into outer space, but enter AIPAC money and like magic, the politicians just somehow can't understand what's obvious to all observers who aren't on the take.
I swear to god this is Ken Martin's sock puppet account
I'm against the government cutting a check to a corporation without extracting a direct, concrete benefit to the American taxpayer. So I'm in favor of this.
I wish people like this who are falsely maligned would sue these loudmouths personally for libel and slander, on principle if nothing else.
He's been asked all the time since the George W. Bush administration. Incidentally the comments sections for The Daily Show have been filled with comments about it since their videos were first put on YouTube. Here's a random time he was asked. I found it in 5 seconds.
You can down vote me every time I point out something you don't like, but it won't make you right. The people of California are pissed. LA just had mass protests and Trump called in the US military to silence them. They've drawn up a new map and it's going to a vote. The odds are very good it'll pass.
People aren't going to decamp for over a year away from their families because you demand it. What are you doing?
By explicitly implied, you mean he laughed and didn't explicitly deny it when asked, then changed the subject. Also keep in mind he's been asked this question publicly probably once a week for the last 20 years.
I mean, it's possible. I'll just wait to until he actually confirms he's exploring it.
I have never seen that in my career (tech). What kinds of jobs are you thinking of?

I frequently import used goods from other countries and this has already impacted me. For packages valued below $800, the tariffs I'm expected to pay are between $80 and $200 per package (10-25%).
Now, it's true that virtually the entire rest of the world levies a VAT on imported goods and that the rates are generally somewhere between the 10-25% we're now charging on small goods. But those countries also have socialized health care and worker protections, so—what am I as a US citizen getting for the extra tax?
Once I pay import duties on this last overseas package waiting for me, I probably won't import much if anything. I won't replace that with domestic consumption (not possible for the types of goods), so all it means is I save some money from less consumption and there's less economic activity overall.
