A copy of the destroyed bas-relief "Gratitude of the people to the military leader" depicting Joseph Stalin has been unveiled at Taganskaya station of the Moscow subway.
Stalin's biggest crime was the organization of the artificial famine of 1932-33, or Holodomor in Ukraine and Kuban

So much of the worst of Trump 2.0 comes from Trump declaring bogus "emergencies." Congress passed the National Emergencies Act is 1976 - but Congress included a check on this authority, which SCOTUS overturned in 1983.
We need "emergency powers" for The People - like calling for a new election ...

You all should know by now I criticize Republicans and Democrats, and have no problem calling out Dem leadership and Biden.
However, the media obsessing over Biden's age while ignoring Trump is literally falling asleep during meetings and is the oldest man to be President is infuriating.

Some 20 yrs ago th captain of a US submarine was fired after his sub ran into an underwater mountain. The mountain was not on any of the Navy's charts.
I thought the punishment was severe and that the Chief Oceanographer should have been fired.
So how is this captain still in charge of the Truman?

"It's not REALLY bribery. It's an investment."
Nothing important here. Just a publicly-traded company disclosing to investors that it’s attempting to bribe the President of the United States by buying his cryptocurrency in order to influence his trade policy.
Company Boasts Spending Up To $20 Million On Trump Crypto Coin To Buy Influence
The arrangement puts money in Trump’s pocket in return for the opportunity to change policy — exactly the sort of pay-to-play scheme critics warned about.

Despite seeing several people I totally trust say this was real I still felt I had to verify it with my own eyes. And having done so I still can't believe it's real.
