This statement is a sick joke. US foreign policy is a sick joke, being implemented by enemies of truth, freedom & democracy - people driven by personal greed & the opportunity to exploit the suffering of others by trading US power and prestige for death & business opportunities.

It’s when authoritarian regimes and/or their powerful allies take control of media to stifle independent voices holding the government to account.
It’s one way Hungary’s Viktor Orbán keeps power.
In the U.S., it’s what the Ellisons have done with CBS.

We wanted to show you one of our 🎄. It has handmade, painted ornaments of all of our 🌈😇🐰 brothers and sisters...and us too! That's really me, Snowbelle, sitting on the bottom right. Jet's ornament is next to me. He is all over the place and won't sit on the table. Do you like it? 😊
