Why do people in power have to be so cruel in order to stay in power?

Have we all settled on the wrong life success metrics for too long?

History buffs might recall that Russia actually lost a war in the early 20th century.

To Japan.

When the Treaty of Portsmouth was signed (in Kittery, ME, just across from the town of Portsmouth, NH), Russia ceded the southern half of Sakhalin Island to Japan.

I am genuinely confused by the idea that Venezuela is "stealing our Oil, Land, and Other Assets." It is batshit, but usually these things have some sort of meaning in the MAGAverse - does anyone know?

The Kremlin relies on oil to prop up its war spending and wait out efforts to achieve a just peace.

Republicans and Democrats have a new bill to change that.

Time to make clear that individuals and companies who help Russia sell oil risk losing access to the financial system.

And he is going to be surrounded by the biggest media scrutiny ever seen in the world once the Epstein files are released…
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

This is a comment from an ELECTED OFFICIAL? Jeeeeez
FOX: The ACA has never been more popular. Republicans are losing on this messaging. How do you talk to Americans who say the Republicans don't have a plan?

REP. BUDDY CARTER: You explain it by explaining it's not working. When the govt has to subsidize a program, that means it's not working

$10b?

Not that Trump has any chance, but what the heck does Trump intend to do with this money from the Great Britain if he were to win?

This frivolous lawsuit just seems wrong on so many levels!
The BBC is not the first media organization on the receiving end of a lawsuit from President Trump. But its position is complicated by its status as a taxpayer-funded public broadcaster and its stature as a closely scrutinized national institution.
Britain’s BBC is both beloved and maligned. Now it faces a $10 billion Trump lawsuit
U.S. President Donald Trump is suing the BBC for $10 billion over a documentary he claims was defamatory.

This applies to parents/guardians and children as well.

Violence and abuse are not always physical. Emotional abuse is abuse.

And you cannot tell your children you love them while you’re voting for someone who wants to kill them, and still expect them to remain close.

In terms of interpersonal relationships, these “Wheel” charts contrast relationships defined by power and control v. those defined by equality

Each “pie” piece in one chart has a corresponding piece in the other.

One reason ACA funding talks collapsed: House GOP leaders insisted they be offset with health care spending cuts. That's a tall order—and didn't sit well with pro-extension Republicans, who know leaders often waive pay-for rules when they like the policy. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
House Republican leaders ditch vote on ACA funding, all but ensuring premiums will rise
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Republicans worked on the issue throughout the weekend but could not come to an agreement with a group of members who want the funds extended.
