God help Moldova. God help Ukraine. Toothless Europe isn’t doing it. France and Germany proving how feckless they are. Outclassed by Poland and the Baltic states.

Yes - and don’t get me wrong, nothing that happened to him justifies what he did to those two young national guardsmen. But we don’t need to dream up conspiracy theories to imagine why he might want to harm American servicemen.

Hubris to think he needed a CIA directive to decide to attack US troops. CIA used him to slaughter his countrymen, then sent him to WA as his country collapsed. He lived isolated and struggling in a strange place as US became increasingly hostile to refugees. We have been awful to Afghans.

Prior poster is conspiracy theorizing that CIA directed the shooter with a promise that his family would be paid. But CIA isn’t that competent and they don’t need a US boogeyman to direct them - some Afghan refugees feel betrayed after the way we treated them and their families here and abroad.

No invasion plans, just plans to cut vital undersea comms cables, disrupt traffic at major EU airports, run cyber propaganda and sabotage and invade the parts of Europe Russia deems part of its sphere of influence.

That’s not really the case for the WH press corps. This admin added MAGA outlets that didn’t have access, but all the major press services still have reporters in the pool (except AP, which is in court fighting for access). That’s why these questions do get asked and Trump explodes about them.

How hard would it be for another reporter to say “if she’s stupid I must be stupid too because I have the same question. Will you answer it or not?”

You missed a banger rendition of you muted Cece Winans at Ford Field today.

I always assumed it was just a character limit decision.

Gotta put in my plug for One Battle After Another. Brilliant all around.

TBF, that’s the way to properly experience Costco on Thanksgiving week. My Costco was only moderately insane yesterday. I was sure there would at least be a toothpick stabbing at a sample table. Instead I was able to find everything I needed and get out with only a few murderous glares.

No no, this is clearly a headline typo. It should read “scientists say it’s time to consider if they’re on something.” Like bath salts or meth.

Yup. Nashville wants nothing to do with it. The whole thing is a boondoggle and Tennesseans will end up having to pay to fix it when it falls apart.

“Appeared drowsy” omfg

GTA is crazy. Met a guy from Brampton when I was in college in Western NY in the late ‘90’s. Asked which province and he says “you don’t know where bumblefuck Toronto is?” Now it’s like quadrupled in size. And Mississauga is still mostly suburban crap, but it’s suddenly got a lot of skyscrapers?

From 2015. Stanley has the good sense to know that now is not the time for both-sides analysis. One party has swung into fascist consolidation. Whatever we think about Dems’ corporate interests, they are the antifascists now.
