When Putin talks to a Russians he consistently says that they invade Ukraine to destroy the state and nation and correct the path of history. NATO and similar framings are just for the useful foreigners.

Pu spells out Ru's imperialist motivations for the war. He calls the conquest a long-held dream and historical destiny.

He beclowns those who insist NATO expansion caused the war. Let's see if anyone from the Mearsheimer fan club admits the claim has been falsified.

Worth noting: Magician David Copperfield was listed in Epstein’s phone directory or “black book.” He has faced sexual assault allegations from at least 16 women, some who say they were underage and groomed. In 2018, he denied historical allegations of sexual misconduct.

Qatari airforce base?

This is absolute insanity.

A couple years back Trump was going on about how Qatar was full of terrorists.

Guess that jet was enough to change his mind.

Cheap price for selling out your people and land.

Fucking traitor.

Extremely bad news if true (and unlikely this reporter would run with it if not). The MMWR has been the earliest warning bell for outbreaks since it announced the first US cases, in 1981, of what was later identified as AIDS.

This will be a grievous shock to what remains of US public health.

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

Reminder: Trump once accused Qatar of supporting terrorism. Don’t forget — Pam Bondi and Kash Patel lobbied on Qatar’s behalf to Trump, and Jared Kushner received a $1.5 billion investment from them. A lot of shady, dirty deals.
