Trump-branded Woodford Reserve bourbon on sale by the company "Spirited Gifts". I'll never give either company a nickel, ever again. Same for all Brown-Forman Brands, including Old Forester and Jack Daniel's.
These companies profit from the rape of children.

I see you, as other people do, as a threat to objective truth about what society considers acceptable. You accuse me, someone who censures injurious behaviour, of reaping a benefit of controlling social discourse. What I'm doing is screaming and making myself big to get you away from my tribe.

There should be INTERNATIONAL criminal warrants out for everybody involved.
So that way if any of these people who facilitated this ever leave their home countries, they’re getting cuffed.

Great news that won’t be reported by American mainstream press. Russia’s Black Sea fleet has nowhere to hide.
There are a lot of stories like this that seem not to effect the overall narrative of the war for some odd reason.

Since it is Finland’s Independence Day today, here’s probably the most famous Finnish patriotic painting ever. My favourite too!
Because note the book the two-headed eagle is attacking. “Lex” - Law.
The rule of law.
“The Attack,” Edvard (Eetu) Isto, 1899.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.
