why does the US govt put out a message describing the Russian approach to Ukraine that sounds like it could have been written by the Russian govt?
This statement is a sick joke. US foreign policy is a sick joke, being implemented by enemies of truth, freedom & democracy - people driven by personal greed & the opportunity to exploit the suffering of others by trading US power and prestige for death & business opportunities.

Over at the other place, the level of fury being directed at Trump over his post on the Reiners' murder is unprecedented. From members of his core support base. An extraordinary own goal. The do-over cannot be far away.

evil, vile execution of donald trump's openly bigoted goals. This is a stain on the nation and a disgrace that will take a lot of work to redress, remedy, and atone for.

look, this is unvarnished racism. It's not the first time trump has made his knuckle scraping bigotry so clear, but it is well past time for this to be called precisely what it is and for trump supporters to own up to it.
President Trump unleashed a xenophobic tirade against Somali immigrants on Tuesday during a publicly broadcast cabinet meeting, calling them “garbage” he does not want in the U.S. as he sought to refocus public attention on his anti-immigration rhetoric.

Some of the people in this article have shared their recollections with me before - but on condition of anonymity. Coming forward now is an act of patriotism. Farage’s claim that it never happened is the opposite.

trump is a bad person. He has destroyed the notion that there should be standards of excellence--or even basic decency and competence--in government. It is shameful for people to believe that anyone conducting themselves this way is fit to serve in office.
"When an off-camera female reporter... began to ask if there was anything 'incriminating' in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger in her face. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy,' he said menacingly."

Tell me again how it's women who are ruining the workplace?

An awesome thing about being a journalist, and not a politician or advocate, is you can say true things even when they’re unpopular. For example, climate change is real, perpetrated by specific actors, harms many people, and should be resolved as fast and thoroughly as possible.
