Trump’s power isn’t ending with a bang, just a slow embarrassing nap and a very public decline. Drool and all 🤦🏽♂️

As a South Park fan, I really appreciated this piece
Resistance libs welcomed South Park into the anti-Trump fold with open arms. Our founder Evan Urquhart was a bit less joyous to see the anti-woke edgelords of South Park recognize, at last, the dreadful pandora's box that widespread anti-wokeness opened up.

Trump warns of European ‘civilizational erasure’ in realigned national security strategy
The National Security Strategy, which each administration must publish, also said the U.S. should focus on the Western Hemisphere and consider the Middle East a place for investment.

The Indiana Senate has said it won’t vote on the gerrymandered maps-despite Trump’s threats and demands
We’ll see if they can stand up to him like some other Republicans-Massie, Greene, etc-have done
If they do, more will probably start to defy him-and there may be light at the end of the tunnel

Bombed Chornobyl shelter no longer blocks radiation and needs major repair – IAEA
Bombed Chornobyl shelter no longer blocks radiation and needs major repair – IAEA
Drone attack that Ukraine blamed on Russia blew hole in painstakingly erected €1.5bn shield meant to allow for final clean-up of 1986 meltdown site
The protective shield over the Chornobyl disaster nuclear reactor in Ukraine, which was hit by a drone in February, can no longer perform its main function of blocking radiation, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has announced.
In February a drone strike blew a hole in the “new safe confinement”, which was painstakingly built at a cost of €1.5bn ($1.75bn) next to the destroyed reactor and then hauled into place on tracks, with the work completed in 2019 by a Europe-led initiative. The IAEA said an inspection last week of the steel confinement structure found the drone impact had degraded the structure. Continue reading...
