@therevjoeblank @frontlinekit @BBCNews @SkyNews The EU economy is 10x Russia’s. The EU manufacturing base is 7x Russia’s. The EU pop. is 3x Russia’s. Clearly, the EU can stop it if they want to. Russia is poor, backwards and evil. They have invaded a small neighbor, and the EU can easily fund Ukraine’s defense.

@frontlinekit @BBCNews @SkyNews And why should they cover it? This is normal, everyday life in Ukraine now, Richard. The rest of the world is used to seeing this and the shock value is over with. I understand you want to get a bump in donations but people are tired of the notion Ukraine can effectively stop it.

Kyiv, Ukraine this morning, pulling dead Ukrainians from the rubble, starting to tally up the bodies. Will the world react? Will the @BBCNews or @SkyNews even cover it? There are already children in these "numbers" 🤬 I feel sick.

@SpencerGuard @mobbs_mentality Ukraine is good, Russia is bad. Putin is an evil, war-mongering dictator, Zelensky is a hero for defending his country against the invader. But, the EU economy is 10x Russia’s. The EU manufacturing base is 7x Russia’s. The EU pop. is 3x Russia’s. Can’t the EU pay for the war?

At 2 a.m., Ukrainian civilians huddle in subway stations as Russia bombs Kyiv—again. Putin does this because he wants all of Ukraine. He doesn’t believe it should exist as a sovereign nation unless it's under Moscow’s boot. The NATO expansion excuse? A lie. If that were his fear, he just doubled his border with NATO. The real threat to Putin was a free, westward-leaning Ukraine—a former Soviet republic succeeding outside his grasp. The West has never truly backed a Ukrainian victory—only that it not lose. That’s not enough. Nuclear blackmail cannot define our century. India just proved leadership is still possible. Support Ukraine. Support sovereignty. Support international law.

Kyiv. 2:37 a.m. The second night of terror. Russia’s Shaheds are flying just outside, so low you can hear the buzz, followed by machine gun fire. We’re back in shelters and corridors. No one is sleeping. At the same minutes cruise missiles are coming in. Emboldened, Russia goes more and more brutal.

I'm not the most graceful woman on earth, but I'm definitely the most graceful woman currently restacking pottery in the garden center that got knocked over when I swung my purse too hard, smacked myself in the face and stumbled into the display. So I've got that going for me.

@LordofLLMs @scottlincicome I check them regularly. Can you give me an example of them “protecting” Democrats? When Trump cuts government (DOGE, ending wars, tax cuts) they love him. When he increases government (import taxes) they criticize him. Simple.

@LordofLLMs @scottlincicome Ukraine and NATO. They love making the tax cuts permanent. Satya, here’s an easy way to figure out how libertarians will view any policy or any politician. If it INCREASES government (like the import taxes), they hate it. If it DECREASES government, they love it. Understand?

@ix_sir @baseballcrank I don’t like Trump. His behavior on J6 was treasonous and his import taxes are stupid. But liberals can’t create an Imperial Presidency that can, “get stuff done,” and then be surprised when it is used against them. Separation of Powers and Division of Powers are good things!

@Vltava1992 @baseballcrank Well I certainly hope I’m taking the right lessons away from all this, which includes realizing I was perhaps a bit too glib regarding some conservative complaints when the shoe was on the other foot. This is obviously quite the escalation however and could set a precedent.

@scottlincicome @LordofLLMs Republicans had fun mocking them as they ran away from their love of taxes & watched them twist themselves into rhetorical pretzels claiming that this tax was not really a tax. Let’s do the same on import taxes. Let them explain to voters seeing high prices why it’s not a tax.

@scottlincicome @LordofLLMs And let’s not say, “tariff” any more. I’m old enough to remember when Republicans like Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich made taxes a bad word. Liberals were forced to come up with creative euphemisms like, “revenue enhancements,” “user fees,” and “temporary budget measures.” We

@scottlincicome @LordofLLMs Thank you for your good work on so many policy issues, but especially important taxes. It is difficult, I know, to be a Cassandra, but hopefully the American people will wake up to the fact that you are so consistantly correct. Regardless, history has already vindicated you.

@ix_sir @baseballcrank Let us work together to dis-empower the Executive Branch. That will mean no more FDRs and no more LBJs, and no more more “big f’ing deals” like Obamacare, but it will also leave future Trumps with very little power to mess with private universities. See, libertarianism is smart

@0ldmanGlen @scottlincicome Glen, what’s really exciting is that your theory will be tested at the polls in about 18 months! If “actual prices” are, in fact, “less of an issue,” then Republicans will do well at the polls. If not, they will get walloped. If they are really high, we will lose the Senaate.

@scottlincicome The cost of eggs was inflated on a whim. The cost of goods is inflated in order to increase wages and productivity in our country, thus making the actual prices of items be less of an issue.

@LordofLLMs @scottlincicome Libertarians pointed out, on a regular basis, eloquently and cogently, that the inflation and debt were caused by the Biden Administration’s big government programs. They have pointed out, for 50 years, that big government, including import taxes, cause most of our problems.

@bdquinn @varadmehta Given what we now know of Hunter and Joe Biden, though, was Trump correct in pushing Zelensky to investigate both men? The infamous Phone Call was used to impeach Trump, but even then, the Biden family’s dealings with Ukraine looked bad. Or are you talking about something else?

Get a load of this. 🤣 In 2009, CBS News warned that the Arctic would be ice-free and turn into an “open sea” within 10 years. 🧊 Last year, CBS News ran a story saying that the Arctic would be ice-free within a decade. 🫠 Just kickin’ the can down the road. 🥫
