Putin Last night Donald Trump released a declassified document that says his own intelligence community identified Putin as personally running an operation to defeat my father in 2020, built around a fake Burisma corruption scandal centered around me and executed through prominent Americans. Trump tasked his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to fly to Kyiv and meet a known Russian agent. The Americans who ran, laundered, and legitimized the operation: Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani. John Solomon. Joe DiGenova. Victoria Toensing. Lev Parnas. Igor Fruman. Chanel Rion. Sean Hannity. Steve Bannon. Miranda Devine. Ken Vogel. Ron Johnson. Chuck Grassley. James Comer. Jim Jordan. To name a few. An operation formally sanctioned by Trump's own Treasury Department on September 10, 2020, and expanded to include more named actors on January 11, 2021. Oh, and don't forget the Russian-linked FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who later pleaded guilty to making the entire Burisma bribery story up. The record exists and we have all the receipts, and more.

"Nolan's odyssey is Christian in its morality" is a sentiment that could only come from Americans, who all without exception believe that Christianity invented morality (good) or that Christianity invented morality (bad)

@ninthhostage South Street is a total dead zone and there is no reason for it. Other than the restaurants and bars it is nothing but sketchy vape shops and tacky clothing stores

I was talking to someone about this recently - if there is one place in urban Philadelphia where there should be seedier night life, strip clubs, lifestyle clubs, sex shops, alternative culture, etc - it should be south street east of broad - and yet zoning prohibits it
