It turns out that if you help Ukraine with modern highly effective missiles - and stop trembling in fear of Putin and burying Ukraine under endless absurd restrictions - Russia starts losing key military factories and weapons one after another.

It becomes less capable of continuing this war.

(Guardian) β€” Iran has spurned two messages from Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, seeking a ceasefire as its leaders sense it is not losing the war and the US president is at the minimum feeling the political pressure.

Obviously, Iran is one of the only countries in the whole world that has Trump’s number.

Nope. Make 'um eat it. The entire country has be against him. The legislators have to become more fearful of "We the People."

This is also what the Ukrainians have been trying to ensure Putin, his key aides, those who think they'll take over for him, & Russia learn. Which would be easier if the Biden folks hadn't been more afraid of Putin than the Ukrainians & Trump & his team didn't want to cut a deal w/Putin.

I am older than everyone and I still want to own my music not because I'm old, but because otherwise it's like having a bunch of albums that someone can just remove from your house at any moment.

Good Lord, Trump seems to have forgotten that in war, your enemy gets a vote. If the Iranians read this, they will understand he is terrified and desperate, and probably speed up the mining of the straits. Worst war leader in US history.

Transcript: Trump Accidentally Hurts GOP’s 2026 Hopes in Wild Tirades As Trump issues angry demands to Republicans, drowning out their economic message, a congressional observer explains why they’re in deep trouble in the midtermsβ€”and how they may cheat their way out of it.

"If Senate Republicans believe that they could lose their majority in the Senate, they will in a nanosecond change their rules to jam through the SAVE Act so that their voter suppression can guarantee them a victory even when the vast majority of voters are opposed to them." trib.al/X4OHyA4

I would love to hear about spikes in fertilizer prices. Why? Because Trump voter schadenfreude is my happy place, and because groceries are second only to gas prices in attracting normie attention.

Someone needs to buy a property on that block, turn it into a lovely quiet, reflective little park and put up a life sized bronze statue of Alex Pretti. This country has the memory span of a flatworm. He was a true and lasting hero.

Maybe he could ask to be put in jail for contempt for a couple of days to get some rest. That seemed to work pretty well for that other lady.
