Maybe the next time Trump/Rubio/Leavitt go to “it’s a brutal war on both sides” to talk about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, someone can follow up with the simple fact that Russia bombs civilian population centers daily and Ukraine does not at all.

Here are details of the attack that Trump promised Putin would never do. It was launched by Putin to do maximum damage to Ukrainian heating and power generation. The President of the USA participated in a deception plan to make it more effective.

This is, as we know, the problem with "better training and oversight."
It is already a clear violation of DHS/ICE's use of force guidelines to immediately draw and point your firearm at an unarmed person. They know this, and they know the administration will defend their rule-breaking.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

In an email to Peter Thiel in 2016 about Brexit he pitches societal collapse as an investment opportunity:
"Brexit, just the beginning... return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances... finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain."

The central question of the Epstein files is: Conspiracy to do what? A lot of people want to infer that it was a conspiracy to run the world, but the evidence suggests it was a conspiracy to keep the party going.

I hope people understand what happened here. Yesterday in the late afternoon, Trump said that Putin had promised not to attack Ukraine in such a way that it would damage their heating. Then a few hours later, that is exactly what the Russians did in a massive attack.
Trump: "I did call up President Putin and he's agreed -- they have the same cold wave that we do, maybe different because it's pretty far away, but it's the equivalent. And Ukraine is a very cold country, much colder than us. I asked him if he wouldn't shoot for one week and he's agreed to do it."

I'm convinced one of the reasons epstein was able to coast for so long is that for many sensible people including and especially educated liberals, viewing the world through a conspiratorial lens was always seen as vaguely distasteful and rube-coded
as someone who pushes hard against conspiratorial thinking in my professional and political life, it is deeply irritating when, on top of the untold human harms Epstein caused, it turns out he was at the center of at least half a dozen actual conspiracies

Shadow tanker PEACE lacks safety management, insurance.
She is flying a false flag of Timor-Leste where Timor-Leste demands of other states to stop her.
She is lawless. Sanctioned by EU and UK. She is on her fifth delivery of Russian crude to India last 12m.
She is leaving Baltic Sea laden now.
