Belinda Bauer is Killing Me

Celia, in The Impossible Thing, by Belinda Bauer

This escalation against Venezuela is really something. But he's been laser-focused on Venezuela since Day 1 (remember his constant reference to Venezuelan gangs?). Now I hear it's b/c he's following a blueprint outlined in Project 2025. WHAT IS Project 2025? A blueprint for world domination?

I can't stand Trump when he delivers eulogies. I just can't listen. Staying off the news today, he's milking every moment out of the death of the young member of the National Guard who died. I don't sense any emotion beyond preening.

"Everything President Trump does is seen as a disaster or a tragedy." (the right-wing guest on a cnn panel). Oh spare me the sense of victimhood. The reason we consider everything POTUS does as a disaster or a tragedy is because it IS. His behavior is totally aberrant, and there is no normalizing it

Are they still negotiating? Good. Sending love to Zelensky, who managed to get 28-point Russian peace plan down to 19. And the fact that they still haven't left the table means there's a chance it'll go down even more (I guess the recent vicious Russian bombing of Kyiv isn't scaring him) 🙏🙏🙏

What is the President's response to the shooting of two members of the National Guard? MORE National Guard. This game of macho one-upmanship has nothing to do w good governance and is furthermore exhausting, esp since MSM is all in w the knee-jerk responses.

The President has made the National Guard into political tools and they should never, ever have been used that way. By doing so, he's made them into targets.

A work by British artist Banksy – created just after Kyiv region was de-occupied and later nearly stolen in Hostomel – is now kept in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
Next to it is an 11th-century graffiti caricature from the Dormition Cathedral.

I just watched #therunningman movie. This is the 1st movie where I agreed w the casting of Glen Powell. And btw, it is very good. I love Edward Wright movies. But Lee Pace's role could have been played by ANYONE. Seriously, what a waste.
