Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

That Russia fears the United States is completely and utterly laughable. Putin sleeps very well secure in his power over his leveraged puppet.

We no longer discuss Putin’s barbaric invasion of Ukraine. We no longer discuss Trump’s refusal to follow the law and release the Epstein files. We never discuss global climate change. So…just a reminder…those are news stories, too.

Explosions in the Kyiv region, two anti-ship cruise missiles X-32 were used - monitor

❗️ Russia has gone mad. An X-22 missile flew right next to the sarcophagus of the fourth power unit of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. I just can't wrap my head around this.

Congratulations to Russia and China.

You did it! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

USA will never be looked at as a trusted partner and ally in the world ever again, by any sane or decent country. You spent years propping up the idiot occupying the Whitehouse, and it is working.
