Russland hat im Budapester Memorandum schriftlich zugesichert, die Ukraine nicht zu überfallen.
Jetzt bietet Putin an, schriftlich zuzusichern, nicht Europa zu überfallen.
Ist das russisch für "ich greife euch auf jeden Fall an"?

How we know Snowden is a Russian asset:
1) He’s a former American NSA employee who now lives in Russia.
That’s it.

“As long as Zelensky is president, no one should count on us giving up territory. He will not sign away territory,” Yermak told The Atlantic by phone from Kyiv. “The constitution prohibits this. Nobody can do that unless they want to go against the Ukrainian constitution and the Ukrainian people.”

Nobody was feeling turkey etc this year, so instead I made a Bolognese sauce that was so good we ate it out of bowls with a slice of sourdough bread on the side, like stew.
You know, just like the First Thanksgiving.

This is what Stalin did. I’m not saying this is what Trump did. I’m just saying it is textbook despot play.
I fucking guarantee you that the shooter was told he would have to do a favor for Donald Trump if he was granted asylum. I guarantee it

This is how Enron did its accounting (seriously)
On one side of the ledger, we have half a trillion dollars in operating losses expected over the next 5 years.
On the other side of the ledger, we have all the money we'll hypothetically make when the hypothetical technology we imagine comes into existence mostly on its own.
So it's net positive.

In 2024, people with high racial resentment scores strongly tended to vote for Donald Trump, regardless of their educational attainment; by contrast, people with low racial resentment scores strongly tended to support Kamala Harris, whether they had a college degree or not.

A man entered carrying his child, followed by a pet raccoon and a dog.
No one even looked surprised. People just shifted to make space.
