In response to this, Volodimir Zelensky condemned the US as being a faithless partner working hand-in-hand with Putin. He called for Europe to become more unified, to embrace Turkey, the UK, Norway and Ukraine, to strengthen and solidify its own security and economic self-interest.

It's common that when He speaks someone inevitably whispers "Jesus H. Christ!" Over time, Republicans embraced and took this to their ketchup-blooded sacred heart. They turned to their blessed meme-makers to provide new devotional material for the White House. It is Good Government, in the GOP.

Just like the Bushites, the current crop of Republicans started a war and have no idea whatever what the end of it might look like. But in a couple months some yeehadist admiral will drag out that old Mission Accomplished banner, sponge the blood off it and raise it high.

In 2024, a host of Republicans screamed that a vote for Harris would bring us to war in Iran. So I voted for Harris. Sure enough, we got war in Iran.

The yeehadists running our military bombed the revered Assembly of Experts in their holiest Shia city, as they convened to elect a new Supreme Leader. In hope of triggering Armageddon. The Middle East is going to run out of anti-drone missiles by Friday. Expect terrible attacks after that.

Coming soon from the GOP: you too can denounce your neighbor and receive $300 in little silver coins. Then you can plunder your neighbor's apartment - after the GOP's goons are through with it. Under GOP rule it will be wise not to demonstrate any kind of affluence, to avoid drawing attention.

Have you ever noticed that every Republican policy involves the death of Americans? There is not a single element of the Republican stew that is not affirmatively organized around the death of citizens. Food, medicine, air and water, work rules, even religion. The Party of Death owns them all.

Is that $Billions? Chump change. They gave that to Argentina. Spent it to buy a foreign president. They lose that much in corporate taxes foregone. They lose that every month in inheritance taxes lost. They lose that every month in dollar depreciation. And we are all poorer.

Word is that Ghislaine Maxwell will be released from her light prison duty in time for the dedication of the White House's new Epstein Wing. She will begin interviews and staffing immediately afterward. The underground "bunkers" are something powerful Republicans avidly anticipate.

If you are against the illegal American invasion of Venezuela, speak up now and use every means. Because as soon as the dictator firms up his war, he'll make opinions that conflict with him rot in prison. And as things develop, thank a Republican with pictures of the carnage.

Assuming we're alive and able to vote in 2028, it's hard to imagine any current Republican remaining in power. When a rational order asserts itself in DC, its first task is to take a bulldozer to that ballroom. Rebuild and dedicate the wing to a new Dept of Immigration. Put a Dreamer in charge.

The difference between a school shooter and ICE? The school shooter doesn't wear a mask. The difference, to a child? None. In Idaho, these kids found their parents after being terrorized by ICE. They were the lucky ones. "I didn't get caught," says one.

If CBS intends to compete with Fox for the same right-wing turf, how do they go about it? Do they compete with bigger lies in a kind of propaganda-organ-wagging contest? ABC and NBC will be crowding on the same boat, at least until the King of Orange falls, so there's a lot of potential wagging.

Patel's lies are intended for the GOP faithful, not for the world at large. The world knows the GOP is shrouded in lies. All the participants in the fascist takeover MUST present and develop the fabric of lies or the facade will crumble, taking them with it. More judges need to say "You lie!".

The GOP wants to demonstrate that their hollowed-out federal government, as set up by the Constitution, is unworkable. Their goal is to start over; to create a new national government in their own image. One that is massively corrupt, thieving, lying, patrimonial syndicate - but more efficient.

GOP knows it's near impossible to make smart people believe their lies. They are focused on those who will. They need to convince the faithful that the shutdown, the bleeding economy, the kidnappings and the fascist takeover are all necessary sacrifices to keep the Democrats from taking power.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

The first thing I want to know from every broke farmer is if they are now or have ever been a "card-carrying Republican".

When human beings become just another mailbox to a Republican sympathizer. Imagine what they do in school zones.

Live rounds are only a heartbeat away. I remember the shock of Kent State but at the rate Barbie Noem is escalating we'll have a daily Kent State and treat them as normal as a school shooting. The good news? School shootings will diminish. Those shooters are now ICE and there's bigger game afoot.

Reduce inhaler use? People with crisis-level respiratory problems rely on these things to keep them alive. Reducing use means killing them. Big Pharma will never tolerate killing off their customers. Barbie Noem suggests replacing the propellant with tear gas. local12.com/news/nation-...

He's the Republican negotiator that speaker Johnson warned us about. He's negotiating. Homes are burning, innocent people are being hit and gassed and shot, and killed. This is how the GOP negotiates.

The GOP is trying to kick-start a civil war. They keep pushing stuff like this until something explodes. The country isn't young enough to sustain a civil war. It prefers the courts. Things still get destroyed but mediated battle is waged by professional word gladiators and little blood flows.

The Secret Service broke a cache of Sims in NYC capable of instant mass traffic, crashing cell service. The NSA scoffs at all the time and expense invested by the Russians. When it comes time to shut down discourse in America, the NSA has a switch.

RFK now says he got it wrong and then the boss garbled it on his Twit network. He didn't mean "acetaminophen". It was supposed to be "Epstein files". Epstein files cause autism. Oh, and vaccines. Yes, the Worm reminds him, Epstein files and vaccines. Autism, for sure.

All guided by the right-wing press monopole.

Russia amassed 150,000 troops opposite Pokrovsk, scraping up hundreds of scarce tanks - and failed to attack. Same old piecemeal meat attacks, easy to defeat. Gerasimov has turned to drink. He's due to topple with the rest of the General Staff in a mighty purge. Russia is exhausted, and burning.

Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks. Joy Reid nailed it.

Inflation from the combined effect of deferred demand (from global shutdowns) and broken supply chains. Biden's recovery was a classic transition to one of the most robust in generations. And it was all destroyed, brought to its knees by the Republican Party. Because it was just so darned good.

Everything the administration did to carry out Project 2025 is illegal. Either already ruled or in progress for a ruling, all against the GOP. You can imagine that much of the GOP's massive unread legislation is, likewise, unconstitutional. Next the GOP will shut down to destroy the dollar.

With regional alternatives to federal healthcare popping up, maybe it's time to begin non-resident fees as well as restrictions on residency in blue states. For instance, charge a non-resident buy-in for access to regional medicine, such as vaccinations in New Mexico or prenatal care in Colorado.

This person was approved by the Republicans in the Senate to help lead the country. Let me repeat that. The Republican Party endorsed, supported, and voted to place her in charge of one of our most important and volatile government functions. Republicans rule our safety.

The Goebbels of our time.

Revolution Wind and Ørsted have $Billions at stake. Ørsted is said to be reviewing its options. If on the sea floor they found a kilo of refined gold and, kneeling, placed it for him on the Resolution desktop, I'll bet the GOP's president would suddenly become the world's most ardent fan of wind.

Remote states sent their national guard to DC with the thought that their troops had no common cultural identity with those they were sent to terrorize. So that, if called on, they would be less reluctant to shoot and kill the natives. The nation must declare economic war against those states.

Save DC? Get rid of the Republicans in DC, and any ongoing criminal activity will stabilize and diminish quickly. Especially quick to fall would be drug crime and human trafficking. With Republicans absent, too, we'd see a massive fall in corporate bribery and corruption crimes.

In 2010 pre-redhats stood outside Democratic town meetings armed and armored. Stood there with assault rifles "for protection". It's time for the left wing to present the same heavily armed un-threat to every redhat gathering. To protect them from secret police kidnapping crime, of course.

The silence of Dear Leader is something to be deeply desired. AOC is a hurricane force whose eye creates stillness and reflection in that family.

Veteran, not marine. long ago.

Russia pays a signing bonus of up to $30,000. Meat for the front line in Ukraine. The bonus rarely makes it to the individual soldier. They may be required to survive 30 days to get it. Or it may be stolen by their officers. I'm sure Miller has taken all that under consideration.

The revisions are NORMAL. The revisions were posted every month. For DECADES. The only thing special about these revisions is their promise of incipient economic calamity brought upon us by the GOP. It's kind of the GOP's way of revising their economic calamities of 2008 and 2020.

When you need to make someone disappear, ask a Republican! From one person to an entire people, no problem. Our oligarchs have found their purpose in life.

Killing our national emergency response system will harm all states. Each must provide for itself. Think about the states most dependent on FEMA - those most prone to hurricane, flood, tornado. All very red. All unequipped and unprepared, with climate change roaring down the track.

Your master, assessing battle damage in kingly fashion.

Like a swerving DUI, the DoD swung - and missed. No telling how many millions of dollars they squandered as the GOP tried to distract us from the smelly thing they were using while trying to distract us from that other thing that was far beyond its sell-by date.

The Republicans are stumbling into another unwinnable war. The US will in no way defeat Iran. The GOP will not effect regime change or policy change or deter Iranian arms development. The GOP will kill people, though. They don't accomplish anything. But they kill. It's what they do best.

Hunger is the antithesis of freedom. Our country was created with the idea that it could feed itself, teach itself, heal itself, govern itself. Conservatives squander all these things. The death merchants of the right create a land of hunger. It is at the root of their official brutality.

In his defense, Hegseth was probably too deep in the bottle to know or care.
