Odd that they keep saying "we will release" and never do.
Simple explanation for multiple files not completely released: Epstein was an alien.

Well, we should certainly be able to distinguish between 'policy that has value for the community at large' and 'policy that supports a single stakeholder's objective (even when that's the stakeholder with the gold)'. So I don't disagree with you.
Or a single stakeholder who likes to cover things in gold.
Trump is probably going to lift virtually all the Iranian and Russian sanctions as part of what he gives up to stop his own ill-conceived War. So yeah I can see Bitcoin continuing to drop.
He'll do almost anything, as long as he can spin it as somehow "better than Obama's deal" in a way his supporters will tenuously believe. Practically, I'm not sure how it could be better than the Iran Nuclear Deal - formally The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) - especially as Iran, and probably Oman, will *now* (probably) exert some control over the Strait of Hormuz - but, hey, whatever gets him there.
Hormuz strait will be open but with transit fees, Iran envoy to Moscow quoted (June 8)
"Of course, this strait will be open, but with new conditions to be determined by the Iranian and Omani authorities," Ambassador Kazem Jalali told the Russian newspaper Izvestia in an interview published on Monday.
"We understand that Iran and Oman provide certain services related to this strait. And fees will be charged for those services," he said without elaborating.
Have to pay your troops. Or in Russia's case, bribe people to enlist then pay out when they're killed the next week.
I'm imaging it's more like giving people the choice of being jailed or killed now vs the possibility of being killed in the field, though the article below reports (unverified) claims that voluntary recruitment is still high. Even prisoners are being released to fight...
Russia offers cash bonuses, frees prisoners and lures foreigners to replenish its troops in Ukraine
For average wage earners in Russia, it’s a big payday. For criminals seeking to escape the harsh conditions and abuse in prison, it’s a chance at freedom. For immigrants hoping for a better life, it’s a simplified path to citizenship.
Seems that "big payday" comes with a big risk though
Is thet number thermal output or Electric? I'm no expert put afaik it's a rather significant difference
Net electric, it's in the fscking summary:
Overall, the present design of ARC is expected to produce about 1.13 GW of fusion power, with 500 MW of that extracted as electricity. Some of that (100 MW) will be needed to power the plant's operations, leaving 400 MW to be sent to the grid.
Because it makes your screen all dirty and gives you gorilla arms. Any other stupid questions ? PS: I've been known to punch colleagues who touch my screen after I told them not to.
Those punches would be more effective if you had gorilla arms. Just sayin'.
I'm not much of a laptop user, and haven't seen many Surface devices, but all the laptops I've seen have functions keys to adjust the screen brightness. Is this something different or doesn't Surface have some tactile way to accomplish this?
Hey, it was Barney Frank et al who perfected the practice of folding shit investments together while wrapping them in AAA ratings. Or, at least turning a blind eye to it so lenders would comply with his literal orders to sell more loans to high risk clients.
Hilariously, it was Bush II that famously warned everyone about it (https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2008/10/20081009-10.html)
I've heard this repeatedly from those with TDS.
Yet, it doesn't actually seem to work?
Has Trump pardoned a bunch of shitty people? Yep.
Then again, he didn't issue 'pre-emptive' pardons for his family, friends, crackhead son, etc yet, so there's that. Or how about 1500 commutations and 39 pardons on a single day? https://news.wttw.com/2024/12/...
I mean Kaboni Savage is a particularly awful person. I mean, "burnt a family alive and laughed about it" not "misvalued his commercial property" bad, amirite?
I see them *BOTH* as wrong. Do you? Presidential power has been growing grossly out of hand since LBJ.
Are you stupid enough to think there are what, unpaid invoices?
NATO allies gathered at the Wales Summit in 2014 and signed the Defense Investment Pledge.
The commitment was explicit: All allies spending less than 2% of their GDP on defense promised to "move toward" that 2% target within a decade (by 2024). They also committed to spending at least 20% of their defense budgets on major new equipment and research.
For the first seven years of that decade, Europe largely dragged its feet. The numbers tell a story of persistent shortfall:
- According to European Commission data, if EU member states had actually met the 2% threshold between 2006 and 2020, it would have injected an extra â1.1 trillion into European defense.
- By 2021â"just three years before the deadlineâ"only 7 out of the 21 EU countries that were NATO members at the time were actually meeting the 2% target. Major economies like Germany, Italy, and Spain were hovering between 1.2% and 1.4%
You're retarded, by the way.
Shall we ask where inflation came from?
We had well over a decade, nearly two with near-zero interest rates (which was partly government jiggering the numbers but it was low) that seemingly exploded a handful a years ago.
China is going to win this one
Win what exactly?
Whatever Trump claims we're winning?
Don't worry though, I'm sure China will also "get tired of all the winning" - I know we are.
Trump in 2016:
We’re gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning. And you’ll say, "Please, please. It’s too much winning. We can’t take it anymore, Mr. President, it’s too much." And I’ll say, "No it isn’t. We have to keep winning. We have to win more!"
Also the same guy who keeps taking cognitive tests and claims to be acing them. Yes grandpa, you successfully identified the giraffe!
Jon Stewart remarks on The Daily Show
You're the only president to take a cognitive test. Let me ask you a question. Why do you think that is?
Why do you think that you're the only president that that happens to? That for some reason, every time you go to the doctor, which is a lot, the doctor's always like, "Hey, while you're here, if you could come over here and just explain very quickly, which one of these is the bear?"
Honestly, I think Trump thinks it's an intelligence test.

I'm curious, will the footage air, or will the news media hide their own interview?
Her falling out a window or the interview? 'Cause clips of the latter have already been show on numerous evening news shows - though, probably not on Fox "News"...
