As Russia’s war grinds on, its society is fraying
The Kremlin paints a picture of a society united by war, but underneath, frustration is festering as all avenues of creativity and dissent or controlled or blocked.

I’m sure that POS has more skeletons in his closet
I’m shocked - shocked, I tell you - that refusing FBI criminal background checks likely resulted in… criminals in the administration.
To be fair, that was also the entire point - there were several Trump appointees who wouldn’t have passed an FBI background check.

The passage of Proposition 50, which redrew California’s congressional map, means that all of the state’s conservative north is likely to be represented by Democrats. “I don’t think people that were born and raised in the cities can represent us to the same extent,” one farmer said.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
