A Ukrainian gas company, hungry for American investment, legit-hired a known American to be an attraction. Unlike Uday and Qusay, Hunter wasn't running his own scams, raking in billions. He was just on a retainer/salary, doing some consulting work and being a minor celebrity/spokesmodel.
An early version of what eventually became the famous New Yorker cover. By artist Saul Steinberg. Currently on display in the Morgan Library and Museum.
Fun fact: I didn't know that, either! Of course, world geography looks a lot like this to New Yorkers:
Hey, I've got an idea... Let's kill the bill, legislatively!
Amend the bill to require all of whatever they're trying to encumber the Right to Vote with, to the purchase of guns and ammo. You know, like registration. And presenting ID and proof of address and citizenship. EVERY time.
Oh, please tell me that goddamned "SAVE Act" hasn't passed?
"Tactical Miscalculations" should be Trump's middle name. Remember when he dismissed the entire pandemic response team and playbook in 2017-18 to save a buck? And then we got the pandemic?
Well, he's canned the whole Iran counter-intelligence team, and most of the foreign terrorism tracking team.
In fact, that's kinda the whole difference between the religions. You know... that Christ dude. His followers are the Christians. Others aren't.
There's no "Second Coming." They never accepted the first one. They're still waiting for the True Messiah.
Dude is high.
My impression is the Hasidic community is fervently awaiting the FIRST coming of the Messiah, to bring salvation. Nothing to do with "the end times," more of a beginning of full lives.
Quite a different outlook to Evangelicals.
I thought that is one of his key power bases, like Trump with the Evangelicals?
Not a chance. They'd just sell you all the coins they could brew up, and sell to anyone else foolish enough to buy. They'd make your money.
I got a big green statue in New York Harbor that says the opposite of Andy Ogles and his MAGAss friends.
It's almost like they held a "talent" contest for stupidity.
Although, since Trump imagines he's a casting director for a reality tv show, these are the kind of people he chooses. Performers, for a show.
Only an idiot would hire/support these idiots.
A mentally and emotionally defective child grew up to be a mentally and emotionally defective adult. Except he's worse now, and still a child. And fighting Alzheimer's.
Bibi is a nasty piece of work, cold, calculating, opportunistic. But he's not an idiot. He wouldn't do something so stupid. (For one thing, Zionists want the West Bank. Turning it into another uninhabitable Chernobyl zone won't fly.)
Trump, on the other hand, is an idiot.
Generally, I think NYPD is one of the better PDs, even if that's a low bar. I don't like seeing that officer with his face masked, but his badge number is properly displayed.
I'll bite. Who do you think Israel would bomb with a dirty nuclear device? Without being immediately implicated?
Nobody would set off a dirty bomb on themselves.
Best case? Congress reins in Trump, halts military action in the Mideast, and we're paying reparations for the next 3 decades.
Worst case? Iran delivers a dirty bomb to Tel Aviv, Israel nukes Tehran, more shit flies, and whoever survives is living in fallout shelters until we run out of food.
Umm... Hello? Do you think these people can't just turn on the tv and see what's happening? If they're here for this, what other "operational trigger" would they need?
The "intelligence" story is probably public nonsense for an ulterior purpose, like domestic repression or immigrant persecution.
She'll be back! Soon, please?
I would definitely support her carpetbagging into a district or senate race in another state where she still has time to file for November!
With Mullin leaving the Senate, Oklahoma needs a new Senator. That twit, Mike Johnson in Louisiana typically runs unapposed.
Aha! Stephen Miller's!
The 40 minute spacing is a tactic to kill first responders coming to the aid of the first victims.
"Holy effing War Crimes, Batman!"
They just realized that there might be saboteurs looking to inflict damage on the US in retaliation for Trump's Iran War. The KKKeystone morons at DHS are not equipped/staffed for this.
Also, whose butthole did he pull that "88%" out of?
<facepalm>
Trumpty-Numpty really has no idea how anything works, does he? Unless he vetoes a bill within 10 days, it becomes law (as long as Congress is still in session), whether the idjit signs it or not.
I'd say don't tell him, but the ineducable fool wouldn't believe you anyway.
"Now go and enlist."
Might as well enlist, when you have no job and no money for gas to go look for one.
Well, unless he's giving burgers away in the streets, I'm not sure it counts.
But... oh, good grief!
