Trump has had 9 months to do it so far and has constantly delayed. So that's a very big "IF".

What an idiot. This award basically covers the 2024 period.

Nominations for the 2025 period close in January or February next. So Trump has 3 months to help Ukraine defeat Putin and get their territory back.

That means that she at least has political antennae, unlike most of her GOP colleagues in Congress, and quite a few Democrats too.

Whoever can the Pope be talking about?

The same sentiments could also be directed to the Techbros running social media, and also to the Justices on the SCOTUS....

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

The plan is that by the time Vance takes over charisma will no longer be needed, just thugs on the streets.

Yes, other countries have roads like that too. I had my car taken at gunpoint once on a road like that (not in russia)...

But driving through russia as a short cut does have it's risks.

The problem is very simple.

It's habitat, habitat, habitat.

If you give nature the habitat, it will populate it.

Caused by the incompetence of Hegseth who couldnt brief it properly.

And made believable by all the other misdeeds of this Administration.

Even that MAGAs believed it.

jimmbuzz.bsky.social @jimmbuzz.bsky.social · 12h

Vance is a shameless liar.

Surely even Magats can see what's happening.

Is the problem incompetence or fanatics pursuing their goal and later having their work reversed when everybody reacts in horror.

The russian federation should think that they made a big mistake by being the first to fire a nuclear capable missile in this war.

I think also that many customers are refusing to accept delivery since the items now cost much more than expected.
Strictly speaking UPS should return to sender but its probably cheaper to destroy them and pay somebody compo.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

Marjorie fell down the stairs and knocked herself out.
When she recovered, she became lucid.
She became economically sane.
She understands the problems that the working class are facing.
We must collect and force every MAGA onto these stairs.
Where are these stairs?!
Where???

In other advanced countries healthcare is provided by the State either 'free', paid by taxes, or by reasonable subscription. Insurance is mostly voluntary and paid by the individual and gives access to private care, consultants and certain hospitals. And it works.

Who does the US system benefit?

Yep, its not all about abortion, it's about how they live their lives, including how poor and immigrants are treated.
Also to the SCOTUS judges which are majority Catholic.

Personal positions, including political/religious, should never interfere with legal interpretations, but this is the US...

There has been peace in the EU since it was formed. And that would be the longest period ever there.

I doubt he is aware of this.
Fox probably only mentioned that the winner also opposed Maduro and that she dedicated the prize to Trump (smart move on her part).

jimmbuzz.bsky.social @jimmbuzz.bsky.social · 1d

What's not mentioned is the test that he claimed to "Ace" previously....
Surely they did it, if only to compare to baseline...?

I doubt that Thiel intends Vance to be anything more than his puppet.
