These abusive tactics are absolutely unacceptable.

Because it’s not getting reported on enough:
Muslim fruit shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed, father of two, was the hero who bravely tackled one of the Bondi Beach shooters and took away his gun.
He saved lives during a major terror attack. Say his name, and honor the lives of the victims of the shooters

Fuck the corrupt pair, Witkoff and Kushner. They are selling out the West for Russian bribes. I don't understand why Congressional leaders here in the US are not louder, more outraged about what is happening, more willing to fight.
Zelenskyy rejected Witkoff’s proposal to withdraw troops from Donbas during talks in Berlin, — AFR
Reports say the Ukrainian side insists that any ceasefire must come without prior territorial concessions to Russia. The maximum they are willing to accept is a freeze along the current front line.

Trump took his “stolen election” claims to more than 60 courts. Judges—Republican, Democratic, and Trump-appointed alike—found no credible evidence of fraud. Every case failed. Repeating a lie doesn’t make it true. #holdfast #getsmart #steadystate

Literally one of the main reasons why FBI missed Jan6 is bc Bill Barr had the FBI chasing Antifa.
All the Proud Boys had been turned "informants" on Antifa.

You’ve got to assume that any real organised crime or terror groups in the US know the FBI isn’t tracking them as closely as they used to.
That could be very bad indeed – and if so, you can expect to see the clips of congressional testimony like today’s many, many times.

It is a bit alarming, when rereading Machiavelli's The Prince, that it lands as reportage rather than political theory. However, I find great comfort in the fact that they are really effing it up.

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia.
1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine.
2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague.
3. Russia pays everyone for everything.
4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail.
