I vehemently disagree with the original post that it was on the trash heap of history. This is nonsense, rubbish, to anyone who has ever lived in the Deep South. But let us hope for finishing reconstruction, as Mark does.

We know that many voters believe the President is a Green Lantern, but it also didn't help that Barack Obama's most prominent economists spent 3 years on ~every media platform telling ~anyone who'd listen that Joe Biden caused most of the pandemic-induced global inflation: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Stealing other countries’ resources and extrajudicial killings at sea. Escalating human rights violations and killings by ICE. Worse attacks on freedom of the press. Stealing more resources from taxpayers.

The Trump administration is shamelessly trying to negotiate a win-win, i.e., a victory for Putin, which would amount to an abject surrender for Ukraine. Ukraine and the former Commonwealth, Japan, et. al. will not let this happen I don't think.

I first read War and Peace in my early 20s and had forgotten most of it, so much so that I am not certain whether I read it carefully. The only clue that I had was that I did remember the outline of the Pierre and Natasha romance. It was a breathtaking and invigorating experience.

A microcosm of my frustration with 🇺🇸 political media for years now. The AfD in 🇩🇪 is, if anything, <less> far right & authoritarian than the GOP, but neither @nytimes.com nor any other major media outlet regularly calls them a far right party. But as soon as it’s 🇩🇪, right in the headline. Every time.

A couple of days ago Zelenskyy told Belarus that if they didn’t stop allowing the coordination of Russian strikes on Ukraine, Ukraine would sort it out for them. According to Russian military bloggers, Belarus is now jamming relay stations used for Russian targeting. That tells you who’s winning.

Ukraine is slowly demilitarizing Crimea. Without Crimea, russia can’t attack southern Ukraine and can’t hold the land corridor. Suddenly, Ukraine has a theory of *military* victory even though so many have claimed from day one that is pure fantasy.

Well, they will have to declare victory and quit or continue shooting themselves in the knees. The problem with the former is they will have to give Iran credible assurances after much murder, bombing, and abuse.

The third paragraph reads as if the Russians wrote it. Maybe they did. In any event, it is an atrociously big lie; 1984-grade, as Aaron Rupar rightly says.
