Russland bombardiert die Menschen in der Ukraine in Kälte und Dunkelheit - Lebensgrundlagen werden zerstört. Endlich Taurus liefern und Luftverteidigung der EU/NATO-Außengrenze mit der Luftverteidigung der Ukraine integrieren! Weitere Tote, Zerstörungen, Geflüchtete verhindern!

At Davos, the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Budanov explains how China has been using Russia, charging increasingly outrageous sums for basic goods because sanctions have cut them off from the world.

Funny cause it’s true. But I’m quoting because the longer the absurd idea of the US taking Greenland festers in public discourse, the more it’ll be normalized like this. It lowers the likelihood Trump would be stopped before attempting it. Imo, that’s the risk of a European/NATO persuasion strategy

“Yet even with all this bluster and rancor, it was the rage at a small African nation and the unabashed racism that was truly extraordinary.

After speaking for over an hour, Trump took questions from the White House press corps. None of them pressed him on the comments about Somalia or its people”

„Dieser Winter ist der schlimmste“, sagen uns viele Menschen in Kyjiw. Die Kombination aus brutalen russischen Angriffen und bitterer Kälte ist kaum auszuhalten. Weil Russland ukrainische Energieanlagen kaputt schießt, haben viele keine Wärme, kein Licht und kein Wasser.

The window of what was considered career-ending has shifted so far since 2016 it’s beyond shocking. And the press has played a huge role in it with their “he’s just a different guy” schtick 🤮
It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.
Trump: "They're paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians. They've taken it. Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people."

Alrighty - my final update on this shot for now! Tons of revisions and fixes, as well as new Music SFX and VO. Added the welders welding, a few more work bees, the Arges in the background, and some changes to the lighting angle.
4K in the 🧵!
I hope everyone likes it!

The Founders (rightly) thought financial corruption was so concerning they banned it in the Constitution three separate times: the two emoluments clauses, and the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Starting in 2017, America decided it just kinda didn't matter anymore, whatcha gonna do.
UNREAL: Per NY Times amazing reporting today they found "Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion. We know this number to be an underestimate because some of his profits remain hidden from public view." We live in a 3rd world sh*thole! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Opinion | How Trump Has Used the Presidency to Make at Least $1.4 Billion
The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

I grew up believing that being President of the United States was one of the most demanding jobs in the world.

It certainly can be if you do it in a particular way. But there seem to be other ways of doing it that are a lot less demanding.

ICE is reportedly incentivizing its agents with financial rewards to hit a 3,000 arrests-per-day quota, even if those they detain are later released.

This video shows the hands of a Ukrainian soldier who was holding the Pokrovsk front during extreme winter cold.
His hands are like a block of ice, they barely move. The toes are the same.

One of the most morally atrocious individuals to ever walk the earth
Trump: "ICE is gonna be too rough with somebody. They're gonna make a mistake sometimes. I felt horribly when I was told the young woman had the tragedy. But when I learned her father is - I hope he still is, but I don't know - was a tremendous Trump fan. It's terrible. It's so sad. It just happens"

Ossoff: "There's a wickedness to the program. I don't know, pastor, where it is in scripture that it says deny care to the sick, take from those with the least to give to those with the most, violate the house of worship to hunt down the refugee. Where in the scripture are those lessons taught?"

Sherrill: "We see a POTUS illegally usurping power. He's unconstitutionally enacted a tariff regime to make billions for himself while everyone else's costs go higher. Here we demand people in public service actually serve the public instead of extorting money to benefit themselves & their cronies."

Totally correct. It's for the American people to deal with the mess they have created by electing and keeping Trump as president.
American threats toward allies as the Trump administration pushes to acquire Greenland put the U.S. in a camp with “predators,” Finland Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen has told POLITICO.

She explains why that’s a “lose-lose position” in our live blog 👇
