No, a US President, including Donald Trump, cannot unilaterally "give" Ukraine to Vladimir Putin. Ukraine is a sovereign nation, and only the Ukrainian government and its people can decide their future, including any territorial concessions

But based on the pose she was probably carved in Mesopotamia
Buuuut she's made from Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan!

MAGA is in our military! That alone should shock you. They been there for years but now they are in leadership roles, like this admiral. We need to get out and vote to reclaim our country. And once we do that, it's time to clear up the military. Trump wants loyal generals to commit war crimes!

Our insurance costs (home, health and auto) have gone up substantially this year. The increase is equivalent to some people's mortgages. I don't know how people are surviving this. Talking a lifetime of frugality being erased by greed.

Lets explain how escalating/manufacturing a military confrontation with Venezuela gives the administration a legal “hook” to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, one of the oldest national-security laws still on the books. This statute allows a president to detain, restrict, or deport non-citizens
