Because Donald is known to be incorruptible?
Yeah. It’s a big city. Lots of deals and lots of projects are going on all the time. There’s always something that can be offered.
Ever hear of shell companies? There’s no need to be brazen; some deal that will benefit Donald’s accounts yet have NO big blazing neon signs on it, is likely easy to come by.
So:
.. are defined by the US as woke transgressions against Human Rights.
Further the US State Department dropped: (From the Forbes article)
This is how a plurarity of you fuckers think.
The rest of the world must live according to US laws.
“The American way of life is not up for negotiation. Period.”
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the mayor-elect who ran on a reform and anticorruption platform and hasn’t taken office yet did not offer Donald Trump a bribe.
How about a business opportunity?
Mamdani is smart and good at politics. Running on an anticorruption platform is smart and good politics. It doesn’t mean he’s unwilling to offer a deal to someone with the power to do good for his city.
Has Trump even built anything in New York in this century?
Besides, coming to Trump with an offer would be an act of supplication which in Trump’s mind would put him in a position of dominance, and Trump clearly wasn’t feeling dominant. It’s far likelier that Zohran just took advantage of Trump’s constant need for praise.
Some people on this board have some strange ideas about what the mayor of NYC does on a daily basis.
Remember when Nexstar tried to boot Jimmy Kimmel off TV as a favor to Trump?
Trump doesn’t, because he’s demanding the FCC block their merger with Tegna because something something Fake News.
This morning I had the opportunity to watch Fox with the sound off (hotel lobby) so i was just interpreting the chirons. But they were working very hard to say nice things about Mamdani, after calling him an islamist terrorist all year. I can just imagine the high-speed U-turn Fox’s editorial offices had to make caused a lot of chaos and consternation.
AKA “We ran it through Google Translate”
Translated or no, an article that had what seemed to be the proposal (I reckon it had 18 points) yet one of the things up for debate is “No European fighter planes in Poland”, which first has to define, “European” and “Fighter Jets” and then someone telling the Russians to fuck off if the Poles can only have Sopwith Camels.
Rubio sounds more like a jerk-off than he did when he was running for President. This guy has no chance.
This proposal is DOA.
I only know from TV, but Sex Assault gotta be somewhere on the list.
28 point plan. And Rubio hails “tremendous success”
I don’t see his much taller and smarter Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov is there. Is Russia represented in any way there?
Trump has given Ukraine till Thursday to agree to something. Mainly letting Russia keep all their captured territory, buy into agreements Russia won’t invade again, All War Crimes (yes, Gato, that too) forgiven, and Poland can’t have jets and pinky-promise Putin won’t invade the Baltic’s (Dunno if Finland is in play).
Peace in our time!
If the UK is there in some manner, I hope they convey the threat that the Yantar spy and internet sabotage ship is in danger of being sunk if they keep on fucking around in UK waters. Laser-lighting the cockpit of UK airplanes, and trying to jam their GPS.
I’m still trying to decide if this got put in as a joke. Poland, last I checked, is in Europe.
resembles the list of demands repeatedly outlined by Vladimir Putin.
So it’s nobody’s wish list.
And throw in a few “points” that are absolute no-go’s for countries other than Ukraine, take them off the table with both Rubio and (Is it just Zelensky? No Lavrov) saying “Oh darn”. Demanding a vote in Ukraine being one of them. Does the USA or Russia have a puppet lined up?
Russia being rewarded with all their territory and the removal of sanctions will be enough. If they want to invade westward again, who is going to stop them?
If Zelensky says too many things are no-go’s, well it’s been decided already that there will be an election and he won’t be in it.
And that bit about the election is getting pushed by the jackass who tried to overthrow an election he lost in America.
You could write that for television, I suppose, but until today, nobody would pay you for it.
Or has it?
The felon still wants representatives and senators who criticized him to be prosecuted.
Of course he has the best legal minds advising him that he’s right, doesn’t he?
DOGE is dead but its spirit lives on.
… didn’t want to quote what might be dumbass trump links.
Whoo! Must have been that fierce political pressure from his ostensible party that got him to back off on summary executions to treason and seditious conspiracy.
Hard to choose: Treason has death or life in prison, yet could be as little as 5 years. You will be fined $10,000.
Seditious Conspiracy has a max of 20 years, and you may be fined.
Best lawyer up, you’ll be facing a series of trump’s hallucinatory legal scholars, who “themselves” have said they have the right to testify.
ETA: This election should be all about trump and his ostensible party. Is Lindsay running? I want to hear what he has to say. Every last one of them on the record, and no “he was just kidding” will be accepted. The Dems should CRUSH (ooh all caps!) the party of Lincoln & Reagan this November.
I don’t know who’s got what wrong, but Thimothy Snyder has a very detailed analisys of the whole “Never-Peace-Plan” which I encourage you to read:
And point 9 comes across very differently from what you both claim:
9. European fighter jets will be stationed in Poland.
Note again the quirky phrasing. Who will station them, and why exactly in Poland? And what it a European fighter jet, exactly? The country Poland is in Europe and has fighter jets.
But point 9 in the list you quote through Sky News is identical with Timothy Snyder’s list, and it says too
- European fighter jets will be stationed in Poland.
Be it as it may, for me both NO European fighter jets will be stationed in Poland and European fighter jets will be stationed in Poland are absurd, meaningless statements in a diplomatic context.
New Yorkers know from experience that Trump doesn’t keep his side of bargains.
