That probably came from either Medvedev or Peskov, as Putin has is lieutenants say the dangerous stuff. But with "mutually assured destruction" if UK gets hit, you know Russia will get it back in kind.

Also, considering Russia's current missile effectiveness, it's likely that half of Russia's nukes would never reach their target.

LOL! You think the NY Post is a liberal paper? Is it because the Murdochs are liberal now, and because they aren't 200% in line with Trump? Remember last year when they had to pay $787.5 million damages for their support of Trump's voting machine lies?

Smartmatic v. Newsmax is scheduled for September.

If you've got a link, it'd help support your point. But the Republicans in Congress keep hyping the crimes from years ago, while in the meantime thousands of similar crimes are committed by natural US citizens. It's not a crime wave, but it could turn into one if Trump gets his way and abolishes the FBI, for fear of becoming the subject of another criminal complaint and investigation without first appointing a new AG to kill any such investigation.

Thank you for the link. Shows that despite the extensive investigation, nothing was found on President Biden--like we already knew.

No, we are all better off for having Fauci in place to refute the president pretending that the pandemic would magically just go away and suggesting injecting bleach and horse de-wormer.

Why get so angry at your misunderstanding Fauci and completely forgive Trump's reckless lies?

Republicans like to sing about crimes committed by immigrants while ignoring more of the same crimes committed by US citizens. And they keep bringing up the same murders from years back. Remember Senator Britt tried to link Biden with immigrant crimes, but had to talk about sexual assaults that happened in Mexico during the Bush Administration. But sure, let's take lessons on credibility from your party.

That "highly suspicious target" was mentioned in the report I linked above, and was not the bomber, but just some suspicious-looking guy, and he didn't warrant a bullet by the decision of the commander. Turns out that commander was right.

Never heard Biden say "Moscow Marge" but I've seen it on X and Threads. Here's a scan of the NY Post.


The reason the US didn't jump to send F-16s is because those are not really all that suitable for Ukraine. They need good runways and lots of maintenance, compared to the Mig-29s Biden arranged from Poland and Hungary early on. Really, Ukraine should get Saab Gripens, but that's a whole other debate. What Ukraine really needed, and the Republicans couldn't stand sending, was artillery rounds. The US sent our M-777 guns and some ammo, but Moscow Marge get her little friends together and Removed McCarthy for daring to work with Democrats to make anything happen, so Ukraine went several months running on fumes. Biden's been sending military surplus in the meantime.

From my Army training, I say that nobody could have prevented a suicide bomber in a crowd that size. But if you better, tell me how they could pick a suicide bomber out of a crowd of a tens of thousands. Marines had snipers positioned around ready to take shots.

Preparing to deploy to Afghanistan, I went through months of extra training about handling crowds and special cultural aspects specific to the region, and I wasn't even military police. We were notionally "blown up" several times due to not following particular rules. We only handled groups of around a dozen, and short of isolating each person behind barricades, each notional bomb "killed" at least 3 people, and we had all the space we needed in that training range. Outside Abbey Gate, I doubt they had more than a couple feet of space to work in, and that's how one suicide bomber killed hundreds of people. No reports say the bomber identified himself before detonating his device. Didn't wear the device outside his clothes. Didn't show anyone his detonator. Nothing. What are the Marines to do?

Fauci has only said that it looks more like a transmission from animal to human, and cannot rule either possibility out. Your story about email is backwards, as Fauci is on record discouraging colleagues from discussing work on non-work email. Not sure what the "two weeks" was about, especially since a lot of Trump things were to come in "two weeks."

Not sure which cartoon you watched to make up your mind, but even after extensive review, they found that the attack could not have been preventable at the tactical level.

DoD report:

So you've got nothing? Remember it was the CDC under Trump that came up with the 6-foot distancing, and in the early days of the pandemic, Dr. Fauci was only saying what was supported by available data. They didn't know that Covid-19 could be airborne. And even today there's still no conclusive evidence that it came from a lab leak.

Yes, of course Republicans will politicize all the immigrant-committed crimes they can find. Still doesn't negate the fact that immigrants are statistically way less criminal than US citizens.

And good luck laying the blame for lack of weapons to Ukraine on Biden. Biden and the Democrats were trying to get around the Republican blockade for months until Speaker Johnson finally put it up for a vote and then MTG tried to remove his speakership. You should blame Moscow Marge.

Okay, neat. What did Fauci say that was a lie?

Let me tell you a (not) secret: Russia has been sending submarines and aircraft near the US coast/border for decades. They fly strategic bomber aircraft off the coast of Alaska nearly daily. What makes you think a submarine "only" 90 miles from the US shore is new development?


Good call. I'm an atheist.


It's clear from context that I implied that the other BRICS countries also have monetary troubles. Good luck to China finding alternatives to US-backed bonds. I imagine they'll need the cash to prop up their real estate market.


I think you misread the situation. The US is not at war with Russia, and is only sending support to Ukraine while still working diplomatically with both. The US has supported Russia's enemies since the 40s as Russia has supported the enemies of the US. Up until invading Ukraine, the US was still buying Russian oil and minerals. Imposing sanctions is meant to show Russia that it's not to their benefit to invade sovereign nations.

1. Trump's insulin cap was only for government-run clinics in economically disadvantaged communities, and most of those patients already got their medicine for free. The program was canceled because it was too hard to use and never fully implemented after so many years.
2. You completely mischaracterize how military aid to Ukraine gets approved. Most of it requires bills from Congress, and while MTG and Gaetz were kissing Trump's & Putin's toes to stop everything, Biden could only do so much. But go ahead and tell us why you're all-of-a-sudden in favor of giving Ukraine everything they want, regardless of what Trump says? I'm glad that you've come around to seeing that Russian threats of nuclear weapons was nonsense.
3. Biden's EO to close the border is not nothing, and it's not like Trump's wall was doing all that much. Trump admits he killed the bipartisan border deal. He never got enough funding for his wall, and wound up illegally diverting funds from the military. If his wall was so great, then why not convince Congress to pay for it, and now he wants to kill the deal so that he can revive it if he gets back into office--taking credit for everyone else's hard work.

The law was not drafted secretly and Biden only drafted the Senate version of the bill passed by the House of Representatives. Don't know what makes you think Biden meant to "destroy black people." The "Jim Crow Joe" was invented by Trump surrogates.

According to a 1994 Gallup survey, 58% of African Americans supported the crime bill, compared to 49% of white Americans. Most Black mayors, who were grappling with a record wave of violent crime, did so as well. As he joined a delegation of mayors lobbying Congress to back the bill, Baltimore Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke said, “We’re trying very hard to explain to Congress that this is a matter that needs bipartisan support.

You mean like the US strike to assassinate Soleimani

Not drafted. Just registered. Huge difference.

Looks like a really good profile. Good photos and well-written. Maybe include a photo without a hat, but I like that it's not too wordy and gets to the point. You should do alright just the way it is.
