Last time I checked if you turn off a data center it consumes less resources. If you turn off a human you go to jail. That distinction used to be important.

#Putin couldn't do a better job of crashing these economies if he was doing it himself rather than through his "proxies".
It's time democracies wake up and provide #Ukraine the means to overthrow him, including allocating frozen #Russian assets to Ukraine.

The prime reason the UK Economy is crashing is due to Putin's Brexit plan and his hoards of RU trolls and RW puppets like Farage, who brainwashed British with faux Nationalism and xenophobia; EXACTLY how Putin puppet traitor Trump is crashing the USA economy, AND that of UK/EU. Pride obscures that.

Just sent a very long and not so nice email to Senator Gary Peters of my great state of Michigan. Apparently he is one of the few Democrats negotiating to end the shutdown. He actually believes republicans will keep their word to discuss ACA…Republicans lie like they breathe, never happen

Trump won't meet Carney 'for a while' as Canadian PM says they were close to a trade deal
"You can get unexpected twists and turns..." Carney said. Before trade talks broke down, he said the U.S. and Canada were close to a deal.

Is it possible for this guy not to lie. As Speaker, he knows the Biden administration couldn't release the files
From 2021 through 2025 when Biden was president the Epstein files were under strict federal court orders
So Biden couldn't release them. He's a lying, incompetant, impotent piece of shit.

In trade and investment, in tourism and in common defense associations, including environment, the rest of the world will think twice about involvement with US.
“Vowed to prevent similar” hahaha.
Of course it won’t happen again, because everyone will spend the next two years divesting from the US.
