🔥 The Druzhba pipeline is literally on fire again in Tambov. But it’s not just a pipeline issue, Kazakhstan is now pulling back to avoid the economic chaos. The Kremlin is so desperate they’re selling off gold reserves just to plug holes in their budget.

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.

I keep trying to tell y'all: you can frustrate and delay these authoritarian kleptocrats by multiple means, and every single second of delay, every instant where they look ridiculous in public, is a space to wedge in a crowbar for more breathing space.
You work the problem from all sides.

I’m bringing this up because this is a simple procedural way to fuck with republicans even if they’re in the majority. Call them out of order, rise to a point of personal privilege, use the very procedural rules that organize their meetings to strangle them. It fucking works.

All corporate CEOs should understand: If you agree to attend an event at the White House, you are very likely to be filmed nodding appreciatively at a delusional racist rant. If you're ok with that, go. If not, you probably should stay away.
