From the start of the invasion in 2022, Russia has been clear that it's goal in Ukraine is conquest and permanent domination, and the only peace the Kremlin is open to is one in which Ukraine surrenders its freedom.

Until Russia is forced to change that stance, peace talks require make believe.

Both Lavrov and Peskov have now rejected any ceasefire deal or talks. The media needs to report this clearly and widely. Russia rejects peace. Front-page. Straightforward headlines.

Actually the modern political landscape is just strewn with people like this who sort of careen through different identities looking for something that makes them feel less hollow, looking for something to believe in

Claiming that in all these years he never learned what it is. Not buying it.

Joking aside, I remain amazed at the speed with which extremely online people can form parasocial attachments. “I must debase myself to defend the honor of this guy I’ve never met running for office in a state where I don’t live, because about a month ago I really liked a campaign ad he cut.“

But to claim that in all these years he never learned what it is?
Nope. Absolutely not.

As a patriotic America, if someday the Canadians invade to free us from our fascist overlords I will sign up to work with the Canadians, just like the French resistance worked with the Allies.
Hope this clears things up for you.

The whole white male internet loves the buff white male populist. There were plenty of skeptics outside that demographic.

Either he’s too stupid to figure out that he‘s been wearing a Nazi symbol on his chest all these years or he’s lying about not knowing. Either is disqualifying for a US Senate seat.

Randomly remembering the furor when Carter added solar panels to the White House and how Reagan couldn’t wait to get rid of them.

This is why you don’t let someone zoom from zero to a 6 year term in the US Senate. Between this and Constellis (Blackwater) it should be a big fat no.
If he truly has liberal/left convictions let him prove his mettle by running for a statehouse seat.

Are the Glazers mentioned in the list the ones who own Manchester Utd or are they different?

It was an unrealistic promise, not a lie!

Facade of White House's East Wing Is Torn Down to Make Way for Trump's
Ballroom
President Trump had pledged that construction wouldn't "interfere with the current building," a promise that seemed unrealistic given the scale of the plans.

man who tried to slash social security spending promises communism is coming if you just ignore the enormous job losses this year due to the technology he's developing for private profit

Peter Diamandis tweets: "800,000 layoffs in 2025. 10,000 in September alone tied to AI. Jobs are disappearing fast. But here’s the truth no one wants to say: It’s the start of a new gold rush... for those who learn how to build with the machines, not fight them."

Elon Musk replies: "Working will be optional in the future.

There will be universal high income."
