Should just send them to Russia directly, skip the middle man
It’s Russia, I don’t think anybody isn’t sure of that?
But what exactly would happen? Would the AG he picks prosecute? Would Congress impeach and convict? I can't see it happening, no matter what evidence is leaked or officially published. Would the base leave him and lose him leverage over primaries and elections? Honestly, I don't think so, as that would require his supporters to accept negative information about him, and so far they've been fairly impervious...
I wondered the other day - what possible kompromat could they have that gives them any leverage now? He won't be prosecuted, and his base evidently does not care (and won't matter as much now that he's been reelected), so even if they have video evidence of murder or CSA, I don't see it harming him...
On the other hand, it increases the chance you're around when the worst thing inevitably happens.
I kind of lost track of his books in the early 2000s, but they're still among my favorites. Gone too soon :/

Temu Just Got Destroyed By The US Government - Here's The Full Story
The video discusses significant changes to US import rules affecting the e-commerce platform Temu, which has benefitted from the de minimis exemption allowing cheap imports. Recent regulatory updates are likely to increase prices on Temu, challenging its business model and impacting its competitive edge against US sellers. The presenter outlines how Temu has dominated the e-commerce space and the potential fallout from the new regulations.
Key Points:
Temu's Dominance in E-commerce Temu has thrived in the US e-commerce market with significant backing from PDD Holdings, which has invested heavily to acquire market share despite their substantial losses. The platform has utilized low labor costs in China and the de minimis threshold of $800 to avoid tariffs, allowing them to offer lower prices than US competitors.
Impact of New Import Rules Changes to the de minimis rules introduced by the Biden Administration will require that many products previously exempt from tariffs now be subject to duties, undermining Temu's pricing model. Sellers must also provide additional information, which could deter consumers and complicate shipping.
Increased Scrutiny and Compliance. New regulations mandate that all low-value shipments under the de minimis exemption meet US safety standards, requiring certificates of compliance. This change targets the influx of unsafe products, particularly children's items, that Temu and similar platforms have been selling.
Sellers' Discontent There is a growing dissatisfaction among Temu sellers who face pressure to reduce prices and have recently protested against unfair practices, adding strain to Temu's business model as conditions become untenable for them.
Future Prospects for Temu With the decline of PDD Holdings' financial stability and the introduction of strict regulatory measures, Temu's future profitability is uncertain. The platform may struggle to maintain its competitive pricing, while US sellers are likely to benefit from this shift.
Damn, he looks worn out
Solution: fire back

Just scrolling through I found nytimes.com there, so that seems excessive?
It's even funnier the (n+1)th time!
