Interesting that Putin feels he needs to contend with Trump's lies. Dunno what it will mean tho

Of course India is going to buy Russian oil.

Has anyone ever stated that the song "Fast Car" is emblematic of everything wrong in the car-dependent American value system?

I should add that CSU refused to allow use of a new, underused RTA 'bus transfer station' for no public reason. CSU apparently owns the downtown property.
