I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.

It’s truly depraved for Trump to welcome Vladimir Putin to the US while Putin is actively wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Ukraine.
Trump calls this a peace summit but it’s just an opportunity to hang out with one of his dictator buddies. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

Reform UK's Darren Grimes™ doesn't want to adhere to Durham Council's Code of Conduct, so on 16th July he's putting forward a motion to amend it.
He wants to be able to say anything he likes and not be held to any standards.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Back in 2018 when I started seeing pro-Trump protesters on the streets of Portland wearing "Pinochet did nothing wrong" t-shirts with RWDS on the sleeve and cartoons on the back celebrating the throwing of communists out of helicopters...it seemed clear the GOP was heading to a dark place.
For example. This guy was later asked to provide security for GOP events in the Portland area. He’s now in jail. RWDS on his sleeve stands for “Right Wing Death Squad.”
