It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

Sounds like Trump did payments INDIRECTLY. Most of the people who paid for hotels, travel, expenses, etc., had been part of the Trump campaign, which then paid them sums of cash that eventually were used--under the ID of OTHER orgs--to pay for the rally organizers, etc. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

Ukraine has the legitimate right to retaliate symmetrically for Russia's attack on the nuclear research facility in Kyiv. The international community's lack of solidarity with Ukraine to thwart Russian aggression brought us to this point.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."
