Frustrating that NYT has put the Mini behind their paywall (without notice). I was considering subscribing, but after this move, I’m re-considering!

If I was Putin, with agents inside US Govt, these would be the instructions to finish off the US as a global force:
1. Gut safety agencies covering aviation, nuclear, food & disease protection.
2. Dismantle USAID
3. Introduce tariffs to crash economy & cripple food production
4. Betray Europe

“500 million Europeans are asking 300 million Americans to defend them against 140 million Russians. [...] Europe today lacks the belief that we are truly a global force.”

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

I listened to Trump’s presser in disbelief. It began pretty well with sincere sounding expressions of sorrow, nation united in grief etc; then descended into vile partisanship, blaming, and political point scoring, with NO evidence yet what caused the crash. Sickening. No tragedy he won’t exploit.

BREAKING: Preliminary FAA report on collision concludes air traffic control was UNDERSTAFFED.
This week, Trump offered already understaffed air traffic controllers a “buyout”. They were given a one week ultimatum to decide.
This is already building into a scandal that should collapse a Presidency.

Just take a moment to imagine the reaction to Barack Obama pardoning 1,500 black people, involved in a riot, which led to five police officers dying, calling them "heroes" & "hostages".

Here’s the start of Mariann Budde’s plea to Trump for tolerance.
This is what resistance and courage looks like in the face of extremism.
I hope her entire family and congregation are proud of her.
Talking truth to power has never been more important. Outstanding.

Great news … selling on eBay is now free. No cost at all to sell privately … unless you include the newly introduced Buyers Protection fee of course that costs the seller 4% of the item price, plus £0.75 … but do remember, it’s free to sell on eBay!
