Next time, let's vote for someone who has shared the same ups/downs in life as 99% of us and is not a lawbreaker, cheater, thief, fraud, con artist, woman hater or convicted sex assaulter who has never shopped, spent his own money, played w/kids, raised a dog or read a book.

How is the situation in #Kyiv?
Not very good. It is very cold, currently minus 8°C, dropping to minus 15°C at night,&ice is everywhere.
Kyiv is now living with power outages of up to 20 hours a day. Some buildings have no power at all. As of now, almost 60% of the capital is without power

This is well worth the watch and a reminder that 1/we need more mental health experts and facilities, and 2/we need to pass laws to prevent a repeat of this national tragedy, especially since this family has helped create a huge new class of oligarchs ready, willing and able to replace him.
Here's a fascinating conversation with Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and Donald Trump's niece.

I am part of a family with numerous naturalized citizens and a few still on the fence. Some grandkids are old enough to be drafted, if it comes to that. Do you think they are going to go into their parents' homelands and kill relatives for Trump? I don't think so. Multiply them times millions more.

Why can’t journalists at least say this out loud: “Many experts, commentators & political leaders are saying that Trump is clearly spiraling into madness & needs to be removed.”

Why doesn't ICE go to Texas or Florida? They're among the states with the highest number of unauthorized immigrants. They've already been to California, and that didn't go over too well. (I know the answer to this question, but we should be pointing out the political reason for these awful attacks.)

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.
ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.
