McConnell too. He could have removed Count Trumpy Crisco from office after Jan 6.
I had a look at this to see if that would make him ineligible to run again and I couldn't figure it out because the removal is so specific.

Did you know? The Saab Gripen may not look as bulky or futuristic as the F-35, but when it comes to raw speed, the Swedish jet leaves the American stealth fighter in its vapor trail. The Gripen C can reach an impressive Mach 2, while the F-35 tops out at around Mach 1.6.

How exactly did Rome acquire so much gold, so many baubles?
That was the wealth of poor people accumulated over centuries.

The Pope personally lives in well appointed apartments and has servants (clergy). He lives like the 1%, no matter how firmly he clasps his own hands.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

I'd love to know more about Greta's credentials.
Trump is a moron, The other seems to be trying the 'concern of the day' approach to activism. Not that there aren't a lot of issues, but nobody is capable of speaking about all of them.
Certainly not a child who lectures poor countries.

I think Russia produces fewer Khinzals.
The number isn't important. It is the continental distance and huge payload that matters.

Russian fuel shortages are only the beginning.

Business estimates are that Ural/Western Siberian oil fields will be depleted within 20 years.

We are witnessing the final destruction of Russia as a superpower, a continental power, as a power of any kind.
