"NATO chief Mark Rutte said the success earlier this month of the military alliance's annual nuclear exercise gave him 'absolute confidence in the credibility of NATO's nuclear deterrence' in the face of Russian threats." @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/natos-...

And we are now back at this point in the news cycle. Just pointing out that this is the 5th time that this is hitting the news cycle. Just saying.

Let it not be forgotten that the Trump administration fought to not fund snap benefits for 42 million American citizens. Fuck Trump for fucking ever #SNAP

There are still some excellent people in the world. Thanks for sharing.

What’s the matter with you people? Can’t you see he’s dead? Take his pulse, quick!! Don’t call the ambos!

Ohio didn’t ask for a Silicon Valley salesman in MAGA cosplay, but here he comes anyway, pitching himself like a crypto coin that’s already crashed. #Vivek #Ohio #MAGA

A rats to riches story: Larry the Downing Street cat finds place in TV spotlight

Orban flattered him and there went his spine

Meanwhile in Russia: everything went wrong for state TV host Vladimir Solovyov, who accused his own team of sabotaging him and threatened to fire them. He directed fellow Russians not to pity Ukrainian civilians, describing them as "collateral damage." www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_yN...

Is Sergei Lavrov on the way out? After embarrassment of the non-summit in Budapest, and cold treatment of Kirill Dmitriev in Washington, it looks like Lavrov is falling out of favour with the Kremlin. Does it mean windows, or tea for the horse-faced MFA? youtu.be/YLnxBVIz9_A

Born enslaved in North Carolina, Anna Julia Cooper earned a master’s degree in mathematics from Oberlin in 1887 & a PhD from the Sorbonne. She observed, “The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class - it is the cause of human kind, the very birthright of humanity.”

1/2 Trump has given Hungary a one-year exemption on importing Russian fuel. At a stroke, with Russia's extra profits, imagine how many extra missiles/drones, and therefore Ukrainian deaths, Trump & Orbán have just agreed to. Next India will demand an exemption, then everyone else

He’s gotten so fat.

Orban says Hungary obtained complete, indefinite US sanctions exemption for TurkStream and Druzhba pipelines.

Hungarian voters, wipe this dingleberry from your buttocks

Johnson: If we lose the majority… They will try to end the Trump administration. He won't have 4 years. He'll have only 2, because they will move to impeach him, probably on the first day of the new Congress in January 2027 and try to systematically unwind all the important reforms that we've done."

Can you even believe this piece of shit? There is absolutely no bottom to his vileness. Truly the epitome of evil. #DefendersOfDemocracy

This is acting like a pure money laundering operation. They reported losing another $54 million last quarter. It has never made money. Investor money is just flying out the back door faster than in comes in to enrich a lot of shysters and grifters.

True story

Closing the loop on Russian dystopia: Russians have no right to enjoy life; in Russia, it is inappropriate, declared the Russian Orthodox Church. 1/2

Short-term legal win, long-term political loss.

Kentucky! Amy McGrath is running for the senate! What a great choice for KY! She is a Marine Corp vet with great leadership skills. Amy was the first woman to pilot the F/A-18 in a combat mission for the marines. She will fight for you as strongly as she fought for our country. #ResistanceUnited ⬇️

Oklahoma is 50th in education. Maybe this is MarkWayneJimmyJoeBob's excuse for his own lack of knowledge & inability to help his state raise its metrics. He is also the least formally educated Senator, w/an Associates in Construction Management. High violent crime & 2nd highest incarceration.

I had a student write an essay about how far from being strong willed, the most successful tyrants exhibit extreme akrasia, or weak-willedness, which is how they manage to be cobble together such eclectic coalitions and avoid consequential conflicts

Most appropriate pic of the week! Trump and Lutnick look ahead while executive lies prostrate on the floor who might have been having a heart attack for all they care. Evil personified!

Pope Leo:

BBC Russia correspondent on TV just told a new Russian “joke,” of the moment. “Russians have the courage to die for no reason but lack it to die for the good one.” Interesting insight into where the Russian public may be…

"Dozy Don" appeared exhausted as he touched down for a weekend of relaxation at Mar-a-Lago.

The Biden administration banned Spyware that can be planted on all our phones. Grampa T reversed that ban and contracted for its use by ICE. BIG BROTHER ON STEROIDS! youtu.be/ENgEdWQO5IM?...

Wow, I was just saying to an American friend that what Trump, et al, are doing is sanctifying human vices. Normalizing it, honoring it, protecting it.

The clear message to all American children is: 1. Learn to fight 2. Cheat to get rich 3. Evil pays off

Humanity is doing great The most evil American is the President of the United States The most evil man ever to become a US citizen after years of living here illegally will become the world's first trillionaire And the center of global democracy, the White House, will soon host an MMA cage match

A colonel at Fort Leavenworth was sentenced this week to 28 years in prison and dismissal from the Army after a panel of officers found him guilty of sex abuse charges in a general court-martial.
