@BMooseolini @NAFOfrumzl I ordered some “things” as well. But I have enough sense not to order anti-matter that is not my department .

@NAFOfrumzl Ummm… my bad. Demonology in building C had an issue where someone left a terminal unlocked and the residents ordered… things.

[REDACTED] Two questions here: 1. Who ordered this ? 2. Why under "snacks and drinks" accounting line ? bonus one: Is it tasty ?

@DCK165 @HarryIWood @RimaFellaria It is an existential battle, the tide seems to be turning. The Ukrainians have said over and over they will go to the last man. It is their decision not ours.

@HarryIWood @RimaFellaria What’s your alternative?

They’re talking about “giving up Donbas” like it’s just a region on a map. That’s my home. The place I was born. The streets I know by heart. The people who raised me. The memories that didn’t disappear just because Russia decided to invade. And now the idea is simple: trade it away for “security guarantees.” There is nothing secure about abandoning your home. No deal, no pressure, no politician gets to decide that my home, our home, is expendable. Donbas is not a negotiation point. It’s where we come from. And we’re not giving it away. Period!

@DCK165 @RimaFellaria What 20%of your state would you give to an aggressor ?

@RimaFellaria So you want the killing to continue or just move so it stops. 6+million Ukrainians have already left the country since the invasion started. You’re not alone.

@ShaunPinnerUA @Reuters No security guarantee is worth the paper it is written on unless congress agrees.

@Reuters The US is not going to war with Russia under this administration. So what are ‘security guarantees’ really worth? And who is Washington to bargain away my home, my community, my friends so easily?

Exclusive: The US has made its offer of security guarantees needed for a peace deal in Ukraine conditional on Kyiv ceding all of the country's eastern region of Donbas to Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told Reuters reut.rs/3NPWIkK

I do not support giving land to imperialist dictator aggressors. Thank you for your time.

@DougWahl1 @LiberalDog60 @RepMaryMiller is a batshitcrazystupid lunatic like Trumpanzee Meanwhile she completely ignores Trump's treasons against the US Constitution and the founders design Republicans voted against clean funding bills Voter Fraud is less than .0001% All Repugs do is treasonous BS

@chumbwumba @DougWahl1 Democrats do the same thing protecting against possible problems.

@DougWahl1 Every time

MAGA IS SOLVING PROBLEMS, YOU DIDN'T KNOW WE HAD! Rep Mary Miller (R IL) has introduced a bill that would ban strippers from performing in schools. When asked how often this has happened.. she was unable to name on reported case. Your thoughts?

@atrupar @Euan_MacDonald We should firstly have empathy for the Mueller family. What is wrong with Welker and Trump?

WELKER: Do you think it's appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of a Bronze Star, Purple Heart recipient who served in Vietnam? BESSENT: Neither one of us can understand what has been done to the president and his family WELKER: But is it appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of any American citizen? BESSENT: Give what has been done to President Trump and his family, it is impossible for either of us to understand what he's been through WELKER: So you don't think there's anything wrong with a post saying, 'Good. Robert Mueller's dead'? BESSENT: We should have empathy for what's been done to the president and his family

@jurgen_nauditt @AlGGDirect Divide and conquer. Do not let it happen

Trump declares almost 50% of Americans to be public enemy number one – right after Iran. This is no longer politics; this is open civil war from the mouth of a president. Anyone who brands half of their own people – millions of ordinary Americans who simply vote differently – as the "greatest enemy" hasn't understood America; Trump hates it. This rhetoric isn't "tough," it's treacherous. It destroys precisely what makes America strong: the idea that Americans, despite all their differences, are one nation. Trump has just proven that he doesn't want to be president of all Americans – but merely the leader of a faction that considers the rest the enemy. Insane. And extremely dangerous.

@Grim_pols @visegrad24 While it is important protect those neurons!!!

@visegrad24 Biggest red flag is someone who doesn't support Israel. You can easily determine where their support lays. The type of people to support Ukraine but be idiotic enough to support countries like Iran. Makes me lose braincells

BREAKING: It’s now confirmed that yesterday’s arson attack on a drone manufacturing plant in Pardubice, Czechia had nothing to do with the Israeli defense tech company Elbit Systems as initially claimed. The drones were being produced for Ukraine. Several attacks have been carried out by “anti-Israel activists” against European defense companies which provide weapons to Ukraine. It seems that Russian security services are using a combination of agents and anti-Israeli useful idiots in Europe to attack companies selling or donating weapons to Ukraine. 🇨🇿🇺🇦

@RusNet2167 @D4RW1NEXE @visegrad24 No they do not

@D4RW1NEXE @visegrad24 What war? Do Europeans know that they are participating in a war?

@GodloveOfaka @visegrad24 Yup hybrid warfare has been going on for quite a while.

@visegrad24 Attacks on defense companies supplying Ukraine adds another layer to this conflict 🌍 Do you think Europe is becoming a new front in this war?

Evidently Russia is using stooges to do their dirty work

@aurorafay1000 @Microinteracti1 Thank you for your forbearance and mercy. I hope you are right. Please remember that 48% did not vote for him.

@Microinteracti1 As a Brit, I can say we have only given up on USA *for now*. It is my hope that when Trump is gone, this can all be reversed. But right now, yes, USA is no longer an ally or a civilised country.

Robert Mueller died last night. He was 81 years old. He had a wife who loved him for sixty years. He had two daughters, one of whom he met for the first time in Hawaii, in 1969, on a few hours of military leave, before he got back on the plane and returned to Vietnam. He had grandchildren. He had a faith he practiced quietly, without performance. He had, in the way of men who have seen real things and survived them, a quality that is increasingly rare and increasingly mocked in the country he spent his life serving. He had integrity. And tonight the President of the United States said good! I have been sitting with that word for hours now. Good. One syllable. The thing you say when the coffee is hot or the traffic is moving. The thing a man who has never had to bury anyone, never had to sit in the specific silence of a room where someone is newly absent, reaches for when he wants the world to know he is satisfied. Good. The daughters are crying and the wife is alone in the house and good. I want to speak directly to the Americans reading this. Not the political Americans. Just the human ones. The ones who have lost a father. The ones who know what it is to be in that first hour, when you keep forgetting and then remembering again, when ordinary objects become unbearable, when the world outside the window seems obscene in its indifference. I want to ask you, simply, to hold that feeling for a moment, and then to understand that the man you elected looked at it and typed a single word. Good. This is not a country having a bad day. I need you to understand that. Countries have bad days. Elections go wrong. Leaders disappoint. Institutions bend. But there is a different thing, a rarer and more terrible thing, that happens when the moral center of a place simply gives way. Not dramatically. Not with a single catastrophic event. But quietly, in increments, until one evening a president celebrates the death of an old man whose family is still warm with grief, and enough people find it acceptable that it becomes the weather. Just the weather. That is what is happening. That is what has happened. The world knows. From Tokyo to Oslo, from London to Buenos Aires, people are not angry at America tonight. Anger would mean there was still something to fight for, some remaining faith to be betrayed. What I see, in the reactions from everywhere that is not here, is something older and sadder than anger. It is the look people get when they have waited a long time for someone they love to find their way back, and have finally understood that they are not coming. America is being grieved. Past tense, almost. The idea of it. The thing it represented to people who had nothing else to believe in, who came here with everything they owned in a single bag because they had heard, somehow, across an ocean, that this was the place where decency was written into the walls. That idea is not resting. It is not suspended. It is being buried, in real time, with 7,450 likes before dinner. And the church said nothing. Seventy million people have decided that this man, this specific man who has cheated everyone he has ever made a promise to, who has mocked the disabled and the dead and the grieving, who celebrated tonight while a family wept, is an instrument of God. The pastors who made that bargain did not just trade away their credibility. They traded away the thing that made them worth listening to in the first place. The cross they carry now is a costume. The faith they preach is a loyalty oath with scripture attached. When the history of American Christianity is written, this will be the chapter they skip at seminary. Now I want to talk about the men who stand next to him. Because this is the part that actually breaks my heart. JD Vance is not a bad man. I have to say that, because it is true, and because the truth matters even now, especially now. Marco Rubio is not a bad man. Lindsey Graham is not a bad man. They are idiots, but not bad, as in BAD! These are men with mothers who raised them and children who love them and friends who remember who they were before all of this. They are not monsters. Monsters are simple. Monsters do not cost you anything emotionally because there is nothing in them to mourn. These men are something more painful than monsters. They are men who knew better, and know better still, and will get up tomorrow and do it again. Every small compromise they made had a reason. Every moment they looked the other way had a justification that sounded, at the time, almost reasonable. And now they have arrived here, at a place where a president celebrates the death of an old man and they will find a way, on television, to say nothing that means anything, and they will go home to houses where children who carry their name are waiting, and they will say goodnight, and they will say nothing. Their oldest friends are watching. The ones who knew Rubio when he still believed in something. Who knew Graham when he said, out loud, on the record, that this exact man would destroy the Republican Party and deserve it. Who sat next to Vance and thought here is someone worth knowing. Those friends are not angry tonight. They moved through anger a long time ago. What they feel now is the quiet, irrecoverable sadness of watching someone disappear while still being present. Of watching a person they loved choose, again and again, to become less. That is what cowardice costs. Not the coward. The people who loved him. And in the comments tonight, the followers celebrate. People who ten years ago brought casseroles to grieving neighbours. Who stood in the rain at gravesides and meant the words they said. Who told their children that we do not speak ill of the dead because the dead were someone's beloved. Those people are tonight typing gleeful things about a man whose daughters are not yet done crying. And they feel clean doing it. Righteous. Because somewhere along the way the thing they were given in exchange for their decency was the feeling of belonging to something, and that feeling is very hard to give up even when you can no longer remember what you gave for it. When Trump is gone, they will still be here. Standing in the silence where the noise used to be. Without the permission the crowd gave them. Without the pastor who told them their cruelty was holy. They will be alone with what they said and what they cheered and what they chose to become, and there will be no one left to tell them it was righteous. That morning is coming. Robert Mueller flew across the Pacific on military leave to hold his newborn daughter for a few hours before returning to the war. He came home. He buried his dead with honour. He served presidents of both parties because he understood that the institution was larger than any one man. He told his grandchildren that a lie is the worst thing a person can do, that a reputation once lost cannot be recovered, and he lived that, every day, in the quiet and unglamorous way of people who actually believe what they say. He was the kind of American the world used to point to when it needed to believe the story was true. He died last night. His wife is alone in their house in Georgetown. His daughters are learning what the world is without him in it. And somewhere in the particular hush that falls over a family in the first hours of loss, the most powerful man and the biggest loser on earth sent a message to say he was glad. The world that loved what America was supposed to be is grieving tonight. Not for Robert Mueller only. For the country that produced him and then became this. For the distance between what was promised and what was delivered. For the suspicion, growing quieter and more certain with each passing month, that the America people believed in was always partly a story, and the story is over now, and there is nothing yet to replace it. That is all it needed to be. A man died. His family is broken open with grief. That is all it needed to be. Instead the President said good. And the country that once stood for something looked away 🇺🇸 Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@IAPonomarenko who did the poll. Polls are very hard to do and be accurate. Remember how Hillary was a shoe in,

This. Is. Horrifying.

@Isobel_waby @ChinaliveX Well that makes 4 Putin, Starmer, Trump and whoever runs Iran

they do indeed and I have been there, done that many many years ago in the Air Force, but in those days things were slightly different... I understand the situation alright, and it is not alright to involve ourselves in something that has nothing whatsoever to do with us... If any member of the armed forces loses there lives it will be wrong... inflicted on them by a useless disgusting insult to humanity Starmer.. he is out of control thinks he is a dictator. imho

🇺🇸 American pilots who refuse to carry weapons to Israel to kill innocent people are summoned to the Pentagon, arrested, and prosecuted for treason! This is the regime of terror that the evil Donald Trump wants to impose on the world!

A helpful reminder.

@frontlinekit Most of California’s high price is due to their own taxes. Gas in my state is 3.40 a gallon 50%higher. In Germany the price is about 12.06 USD per alexia, due to taxes. Taxes pay for lifestyle.

🇺🇲 Americans reacting to their new norm, sky high gas prices as Trump keeps bombing the middle east.

@Isobel_waby @ChinaliveX When they be come part of our military they agree to follow orders. Whether it is food distribution or using munitions. Like a child wandering into the street does not understand the situation, a soldier might not know the big picture. Unfortunately civilians are hurt in war

surely they have the human right to make the decision they do not want to murder children, they deserve an accolade for having a conscience not wanting to kill innocents.. what has Iran done to the USA.. they have no nuclear weapons and their people should decide their government not international countries.
