Es nelikšu ekrānšāviņus, jo pēc Epstīna failu apskates pagājušo nakti visu nomurgoju, bet Saeima šķiedīs savu laiku, paužot atbalstu ļoti iespējams pedofīlam Trampam. Būtiski - tie, kas bija pret Stambulas konvenciju, ir par Trampu. Fuj.

Mosties pēc krievijas uzbrukumu dunā nomocītas nakts un lasīt ziņas par to, ka putins Trampam apsolījies neuzbrukt Ukrainas energoapgādes sistēmai, protams, ir drusku sirreāli... nez, cik ilgi pasaule vēl nopietni izturēsies pret šo divu kārtējo reizi sarunāto.

Tas ir prātam neaptverami, ka Latvijas parlamentā vispār var tikt skatīts šāds jautājums laikā, kad Tramps spiež Ukrainu atteikties no tās teritorijām, rotā savu kabinetu ar Putina bildēm, balsta Maduro režīmu (jā, Maduro ir cietumā, bet režīms ir vietā un pumpē naftu ASV) un apdraud Dāniju, Kanādu

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.
