Ukraine wants to get THAAD complexes as well as other air defense systems that countries in the Middle East have – President Zelensky "If we had such systems, the threat of Russian aerial bombing in Ukraine simply wouldn't exist. At a minimum, within a radius of 200 km, we would have eliminated this threat. Russian aircraft simply wouldn't be able to approach,"

The U.S. spent a year threatening to invade one European country and castigating all the others as useless deadbeats who shied away from action in Afghanistan, all while Europe spent that year inheriting the full cost of Ukraine’s defense. Then the U.S. went to war in the Middle East without even trying to build a coalition or formally asking for European assistance—something Trump says he doesn’t need even though its absence in the middle of the war he launched and claims to have already won has made him rethink U.S. membership in NATO, an alliance he characterizes as a busted flush. This is like a crazy uncle no one wanted over for dinner complaining about the spread and blaming everyone else for not stopping him from shitting his pants and passing out drunk at the table. And insisting he be invited back.

Broward Fire Lt. Joel Kohnert and his wife were just arrested for locking their adopted 12-year-old in a room for YEARS. She was forced to soil herself, bathe outside, and tread water for 45 mins as "discipline." ​Their defense? They claim to be "devout Christians." ​How does a first responder hide this pure evil for three years?

Let me explain something to the MAGA crowd, because clearly someone needs to. They seem to think NATO is cosmic room service. You pick up the phone, say “hello, we’re having a bit of a war here,” and thirty-one countries march to your rescue. A continental Uber for military adventures. That is not how it works. Article 5 is a mutual defense clause. The clue is in the word mutual. And it has been triggered exactly once in NATO’s entire history. After September 11. When America was attacked. Not Europe. America. Every NATO member showed up. They went to Afghanistan. They fought. They bled. They died. In America’s war. On America’s behalf. Now imagine they hadn’t. Over 1,100 allied soldiers died in Afghanistan. British, Canadian, German, Danish, Polish. And yes, even Ukrainian soldiers, who had no NATO obligation whatsoever. Gone. Without them, those are American names on those graves. Sons from Ohio. Fathers from Georgia. Kids from Nebraska who never came home. Then there is the money. NATO allies spent over 100 billion dollars on a war that started on American soil. Without that, Washington pays every cent. On top of the 2 to 3 trillion the war already cost. And without allied bases across Europe and Central Asia, American supply lines collapse entirely. Without British forces in Helmand and Canadians in Kandahar, the Taliban reconstitutes in three years instead of ten. The gaps get filled one way. More American deployments. More American coffins arriving at Dover. Afghanistan was bloody. But NATO took the hit. Without them, every single one of those casualties would have had an American name. Trump called allies like these losers. Suckers. If you are a certain kind of broken person, that probably makes sense to you. But for the rest of us, what those soldiers did has a different name. Honor. The bond between men who have been in the same dirt, under the same fire. Between Brits and Americans, Frenchmen and Norwegians, Canadians and Danes. Not a diplomatic relationship. A blood bond. Brotherhood forged in places most people will never see and cannot imagine. In that culture, you do not mock a fallen ally. You do not sneer at the dead. It is the lowest thing a human being can do. Trump did it to a standing ovation. If you are a MAGA supporter travelling to NATO countries, understand this. There are no friendly pats on the back waiting for you. No one will buy you a beer. The governments who share your worldview sit in Minsk, Moscow and Pyongyang. Brutal dictatorships where journalists disappear, elections are theatre and dissent is a medical condition treated in basements. Not London. Not Paris. Not Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin or Ottawa. You have abandoned the open societies, the free press, the rule of law, the places where people actually want to live. You traded the best of civilization for a very small, very dark room. Frankly, it serves you right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

This is a lie. About 50% of the files have been released and per our subpoena it’s illegal to withhold them. Blanche may think it’s over, but we are just getting started.
Acyn@Acyn

Blanche: The DOJ has now released all the files with respect to the Epstein saga. To the extent the Epstein files was a part of the past year of this justice department, it should not be a part of anything going forward.

@Partisangirl Considering Joel Davis' history of advocating for child marriage, it is a significant relief that he lacks a platform to reach or influence vulnerable minors online.

LEGO made a World Cup trophy set and just released an ad starring Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. There’s a 98.7% chance my kid is going to make me but it.
