DSL, when I saw the Moldovan president had resigned I thought for sure the Russians were behind it. The word is that she was exasperated over her inability to shape a eurocentric political system that could at some point join the EU. Something that Zelenski is trying to do in Ukraine and a few of eastern flank of NATO nations
My impressions from 10K is that former soviet satellite states have a really hard time ridding their governments and judicial systems of corruption - that's what the west calls it. Slavic nations that existed under Russian domination for decades as satellite states of the Soviet Union will tell you, that's the way we do all things here. There is no political process, just gangsters making what they want to happen, happen. Having money and then gaining political positions to influence favorable outcomes for themselves and those that hitch on to their bandwagon. Few programs paid for with taxes and run by these governments are for society. Its the norm and that norm is deeply entrenched.
Politicians in these former Soviet states that have as a platform corruption busting and transitioning to a more democratic nation find it nearly impossible to uproot these guys. There really is no counterpart in the west to the scope and scale of corruption in the former satellite states of the USSR. So, it's hard for us to understand its pervasiveness and impact on the society that's dealing with it/and/or trying to escape from it's destructive nature on the well being of the governed citizensenry.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

I'm quite happy removing guns entirely from the equation, eliminating all policy decisions as if they were determinative and adhering to the law of the land.
But, that's just me. I'm ok calling bullshit on weak sauce arguments on "my" side.
So, if you agree to stop blaming guns then I'll fully concede the NRA's point is bullshit. And we'll base policy decisions on that detente.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
