Wow. Just, wow. I think you’ve really touched on a deeper truth here that many people simply haven’t arrived at.

Yes, there are many people in our society that a good but there’s also the willfully ignorant (and under educated) bullies who’s whole lives have been based on the flawed premise that they are simply better than everyone else.

Tina Peters is the outstanding example of this type of person. She wasn’t “brainwashed” or somehow changed. Her actions were a result of her deep seated belief that she is somehow more important, more worthy than anyone else. Trumpism simply gave these people an “acceptable” way of acting out on their world view.

Well, he did have to put up with her being in the same court room as him. Personally, I feel sorry for the Judge, he didn’t deserve this.

What a dead set weirdo

She really is a prostitute, isn’t she?

Far worse than shit, some say the worst.

When they say: “soar” they mean the price went from an all time low of $16 up to $18. Less like soaring and more like a dead cat bounce. Mmmmm… dead cat 😺

…and a weirdo

Except the US Federal Court determined that Google has indeed engaged in anti competitive behaviour. Gemini apparently doesn’t want to share that little nugget of information.

I vaguely remember the video of the Queen and James Bond during the London Olympics opening ceremony where the Queen asks Bond to get rid of Trump. Or did I imagine that?

Yeah but for how long? The troops the Ruzzians are flooding into Kursk right now simply aren’t up to the job. They “may” be able to stop the Ukrainians at their newly prepared defences but that’s not a given. Putler can not allow the Ukrainians to stay in Kursk and, realistically, the only way he had of forcibly dislodging them will be to redeploy troops from the Donbas.

Does Textra do auto txt forwarding?

Maybe a calendar that starts with the creation of the Earth (approx 4 billion years ago) as it’s starting point?

Be careful what you “wish” for.

Yes, both Drump and Biden are old. The big difference is that Biden is still both wise and street smart. Drump always was and always will be neither, he’s just weird.

The same way you hold Trump’s feet to the fire, or the rest of the ultra conservative right? If that were the case you wouldn’t have time for fluff pieces like this.

No. No he doesn’t need to resign. Trump needs to resign. See ya’ll got that wrong.

WTF why does Bolivia (a land locked nation) even have a navy?

That’s a good question. The answer lies not so much about the general popularity and sympathy for Ukraine but rather the amount of pressure Ukraine can exert on the the present US administration to leverage more military aid.

The Ukrainians are aware of the level of sympathy they have in the US as the plucky underdog in this conflict. Striking oil and gas targets deep inside Russia doesn’t diminish this but rather underlines and reinforces the situation. However, reducing the supply of oil and gas impacts the price of oil and gas and has a knock on effect on inflation.

The majority of Americans don’t consciously make that connection, they just feel the pinch in their hip pocket. For better or worse inflation is commonly viewed as domestic issue and this is reinforced by the retoric of those on the right of US politics. So, for many inflation is Joe Biden’s fault.

Therefore, by attacking these targets or threatening to, the Ukrainians can bring the very real pressure on the Biden administration. The President has to continue to show support to the Ukrainians (both moral and materiel) while attempting to rein in the Ukrainians ability and desire to strike deeply at oil and gas targets in Russia.

It appears that this delicate balancing game is ongoing with the US administration pressuring their opponents in the Congress to back down on defunding the Ukrainians while at the same time convincing the Ukrainians to back off a little and focus more on military targets.
