it's kinda crazy to me that he's the highest paid employee in the entire federal government.

US President does not make nearly enough money if you ask me.
They do just fine when you take the all the dirty side money into account.

I can think of only one president who came out with less wealth upon leaving office than entering it.

need to pay them more, and remove the dirty side money. $700k a pop wall street speeches are just after the fact bribes. it's an unspoken thing. scratch my back while you're in office, we'll scratch yours when you get out.

Trump's net worth took a hit because some people and some businesses started "canceling" him over his controversial statements and twitter account.

Harry Truman
Truman was always pretty much poor. Before he took office and after. Not sure his net worth decreased after he left, he was broke his entire life. 

Truman was correct though with his famous quote, "show me a man who got rich by being a politician and I'll show you a crook."

Do they get dirty side money while in office?  Or just later?

no, they scratch the backs of their donors while in office and do the bidding of their donors while in office. then soon as they get out of office, they get their backs scratched by said donors they had just spent years doing the bidding of. 

Obama is the perfect example of this. Leaked emails showed his first cabinet was basically hand-picked by Citigroup. He bailed out all of Wall Street, refused to investigate/prosecute a single person or entity, and let these jagoffs pay themselves their bonuses with the money they were given by the federal gov't. One of his very last acts in office was to bail out Wall Street private equity landlords. Soon as he gets out of office he's being paid millions of dollars by Wall Street firms to give bullshit 30-60 minute speeches.

I suspect (hope) the Russians have issues with their nuclear arsenal.

Last Typhoon: Can The World’s Largest Submarine Still Destroy The World? (forbes.com)

They have one last Typhoon that might be operational, or not.  They wouldn't use this is any first strike though.  Their land based missiles would be used, they are more accurate, and would be attempting to reduce our retaliatory capacity.  But we have ten Ohio class boomers, not all on station at one time of course, but five usually are, and that's a lot.  Then you have the land based ICBMs and B2s (2o of them).  That's a lot to try and negate in a first strike, especially if your gear has not been maintained well.
did you mean to put this in the Ukraine-Russia thread?

I don't entirely understand why Fauci gets so much disdain thrown his way, but whatever.

BA2 is causing a small increase of cases in Europe and theres speculation we could see a small increase here

so far this has not happened but it would not surprise me to see a mini wave very short lived here

Fauci is saying we might need to lock down again but thats a load of crap

To say we MAY need more lockdowns is not saying much.  In the below, he really isn't saying anything.

I'd like to see his actual quote, though I don't think it really matters.

Fauci warns COVID-19 infection rates likely to increase | TheHill

"I would not be surprised if in the next few weeks we see somewhat of either a flattening of our diminution or maybe even an increase," Fauci said on the ABC News podcast “Start Here,” ABC News reported. 

"Whether or not that is going to lead to another surge, a mini surge or maybe even a moderate surge, is very unclear because there are a lot of other things that are going on right now," he added.
