⚡️ Ukraine has sent a team of experts along with interceptor drones to protect U.S. military bases in Jordan, Zelenskyy told the New York Times.
The U.S. requested assistance on March 5. "We responded immediately. I said: yes, of course, we will send our experts," the President of Ukraine stated.
Variations on a theme. I was thinking today that Trump is becoming Walter White. “Just fucking die already” is going to be said out loud by ppl who’d never say such things.
I lived in DC then & everyone I knew thought they were full of shit but I knew we were in deep trouble when I went home (Ohio) for Xmas 2002.
Local news was endless vox pop w/grandmas certain that Saddam wanted to nuke them, right there at the mall, while they were just trying to finish shopping.
Is there more than edition of the work out there? Different formats? That is best case scenario, obvs.
I think you know what worst case is.
They will greet our bombs as liberators!
Thank you!
Many ppl don’t know there is a Hungarian-speaking minority in Ukraine.
Zelensky was referencing the fact that Orban bitches endlessly abt the “rights of Hungarian speakers.”* 70+ schools aren’t enough, in his opinion. Ze’s point was: they speak Hungarian!
*Ala Putin, w/Russian speakers in Baltics.
In the vernacular that means what?
On bad days, my mom would throw a few sliced up potatoes, a pound of hamburger, & a creamy soup together in a pot & stick it in the oven. If you hadn't had it for awhile, it was okay. Comforting.
If we were going through an extended bad period, & you'd had it most days for weeks, you wanted to cry.
By her own account, she had serious problems before she was raped.
I'm not a clinician either but "trauma" doesn't explain her behavior, nor does a shitty parent. The breadth & length of her problems suggest a serious mental illness or personality disorder.
What the hell are we we even doing anymore?

In a long tweet about Anthropic, Pete Hegseth, through the offical "SecWar" Twitter account says "the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic."
Hegseth is wholeheartedly endorsing the core premise of fascism: industry, as part of the private sphere, must be subordinated to the military objectives of the state.
This is the most painful CSPAN call I’ve ever heard...the #Trump administration's policies and cuts to life critical programs are literally set to unnecessarily kill hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans, and he's still ballooning the debt...
The Make-A-Wish administration.
Everyone gets to do whatever they want, whenever they want.
Wait, I thought the conventional wisdom is that his floor is 30%. Like across every demo you can carve out, 30% are them are idiots who barely pay attention to anything, we can't worry about them.
If that is true, this is good news. This means the idiots are noticing, no?
I don't think so. She says clearly: "they announced this to humiliate Trump."
I think that they got out ahead of it to avoid anyone else going first.
This is a routine event that required instant transparency bc of the environment Trump created. That doesn't mean their purpose is humiliating him.
This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.

I usually agree with you but not today.
No way Denmark couldn’t proactively get the news out immediately, given the potential for rumors in the current context. Greenlanders have been jittery for months already.
It went there, ie into warmer water, close to Nuuk, because of the sick sailor, so he could be rescued by a NATO helicopter.
It was patrolling further north somewhere, under the ice.
Yes, that is a difference.
What is not different is that they are both populists from upper middle class families. Platner went to an elite private school; dad: lawyer; grandpa: famous architect.
Ppl are not wrong to detect attitudinal similarities in them.
Way more similar than you claim. Both are from families with real money, history, connections. Both cosplay as average guys & victims of the system, but for both it was about their own choices & an inability to settle into the privileged path available to them.
All he does is change. He got suspended in high school for protesting GWB, then joined up for GWOT. When he got out, he went to uni & denounced war profiteers, then quit school & joined Blackwater.
I think oppositional defiance disorder is his whole personality. Srsly.
“Karen [was] handcuffed, shackled and sleeping on the floor of a locked cell, before being driven for 12 hours through the night to an…ICE detention centre. Karen was incarcerated for a total of six weeks – even though she had been travelling with a valid visa.”

I can’t believe it: 30 years after starting a search, I found my great grandfather in a census. I have a birth year: 1856!
Figuring out the likely birth place changed everything. Amazing that a family story can be so wrong yet contain enough truth—a literal fragment!—that it’s still helpful.
They did it in occupied Ukraine too.
They did another hilarious thing to him. They’d send wealthy people checks for under a dollar, just to see who would cash them & who wouldn’t.
Trump did, every time lol.

Good. When Ds take power, they can pass a law that no federally funded projects can use a trademarked phrase in the name. That'll nip a lot of bullshit in the bud.
Graydon Carter & Kurt Anderson came up with short-fingered vulgarian. IDK abt the rest of it.
My DNA test turned up my mother’s third cousin in Germany. We’ve been corresponding & I think we’ve identified our link: a dude born in TIEGENHAGEN. Which is in present-day Zaporizhia.
So I think my mother & her siblings misheard/misremembered TIEGENHAGEN as Copenhagen.
