I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

A VICIOUS CYCLE OF STUPIDITY/CORRUPTION… 👇
Hmmm…
Farmers in RED STATES, that overwhelmingly voted for Trump, and had their crops decimated because they couldn’t sell to China (because of Trumps tariffs) will now receive OUR TAX MONEY to bail out their TREASONOUS ASSES.
Did I get that right?!

The Luxon Govt’s rewrite of the RMA laws allows companies to claim financial compensation (from taxpayers) when councils introduce rules to limit pollution or protect the environment.

Ukraine’s future must be decided by Ukrainians—not by an unaccountable real-estate-developer-turned-“special envoy,” and certainly not in a back room with Russia while Ukraine is sidelined.

In a sweeping document, Trump adopts and agrees with all of Putin's attacks on Europe and seeks to abandon NATO and swing US power and influence behind Russia. And this move draws virtually no attention from witless US media. www.ft.com/content/9536...

No, we already tried that and look where this country ended up.
Time to put a woman in charge. Look at Japan, Finland, Iceland, Mexico, New Zealand, and more.
