@TonyStark Watched 20 Days in Mariupol last night. The entire GOP house and most of the GOP Senate should be forced to watch it. Putin is a murderous thug and needs to be stopped. I’m ashamed of our inaction.

"And even if there is no direct assistance from foreign governments to help him make good on these judgments, Trump will spend the next few years trying to dig out from the financial hole they left. And that means foreign bad actors will come circling.

This can and should become a serious campaign issue, especially given how both the Saudis and Putin are confirmed murderous authoritarians that throw their petrol dollars around to buy influence."

Europe’s #security elite braces for #Trump, searches for back-up plans

For months now, much of #Europe has been watching #UnitedStates #politics w/ numb dread, seeing President #Biden’s weakness at the polls & fearing a return to the years when Trump threatened the #international order that left them prosperous & cozy under the US military’s security blanket.

>> But I have to wonder WTF does the NYTimes think it is accomplishing when they attack President #biden

Same thing it accomplished when it attacked #Hillary #Clinton.

And that makes it all the more outrageous

Republicans shouldn't worry about their favorite candidate for President being unable to raise enough money to pay his legal expenses, he's still got plenty of top secret documents lying around that he could sell to Putin directly, and after that tongue massage from Tucker Carlson and offing Navalny, Vlad is on a roll.

Goodbye to my fearless friend, #AlexeiNavalny

Vladimir #Putin killed my friend Alexei #Navalny this week. There will be a time & place to discuss the politics & how the free world should respond. For now, I want to share a few memories.

Family member was surprised/flabbergasted when EMTs showed up not wearing masks for a bleeding issue & ranted about possible spurting blood in their faces and how stupid they were.

Me: Yep.

It apparently wasn't this way up until last week.

Gee, I wonder what could've happened to make things different.

Looking at you CDC.

UPDATED TRUMPOMATH

If Trump wants to appeal his 2 cases: E Jean Carroll & Engoron

Add INTEREST to both. E Jean Carroll $83.3M -> $83.7M. Engoron $354.9M -> $453.5M

Payment is bond. Add 11% to first, 20% to second. Total bond value becomes $637.1M

Trump needs SURETY bond = $662.6M

PLUS TAXES !!

#USA : #School / #Weapons / #Violence

„American schools hit a record last academic year with more than 340 shootings reported across the country. The high-water mark points to another troubling trend closer to home — more students were caught bringing guns to school.“

Freethought Democrats object to Pastor Jack Hibbs as guest chaplain, say he’s Christian nationalist.

When asked about the lawmakers' letter criticizing Hibbs' selection, representatives for Speaker Mike Johnson asked to see a copy, but declined to answer followup questions.

For clarity

$364m is the total. $4m for Don Jr, $4m for Eric, $1m for Allen Weisselberg — and $355m for Trump himself

BREAKING: TRUMP TO PAY $364 MILLION FOR FRAUD

Donald, Don Jr, Eric all BANNED from NY business for 3 years

Judge Engoron issues decision after NY AG civil fraud case

The opinion calmly, yet brutally, details Eric Trump’s lying on the stand and how he was repeatedly shown to be lying. 2/

The biggest flex right now—if Trump were actually the insanely successful billionaire he claims to be—would be writing a check as if it’s a mere nuisance and moving on.

Andrew Weissmann nails it again, “this guy can’t be trusted to run a company for three years without a babysitter?”

But we’re going to let him run the most powerful country on the planet????”

7/ Via Kyle Griffin:

Don Jr. and Eric Trump have each been ordered to pay $4 million in ill-gotten gains.

Per Rupar, as news is breaking about his huge fine, Trump is ranting on Lies Antisocial about pics of him w/ his stomach hanging out over his belt while he's golfing as fakes, posting other pics side by side.

And...
