This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

I feel this.

Block lists are set up by private users who manage them, and may misuse their lists to express personal aversions to other users by simply adding them to their lists. I recommend avoiding block lists, and always making the decision to block manually yourself.
