Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

Sounds like a sh*thole country.
It is wild that the LA jails are so dilapidated and dirty that the medical examiner bothers making note of it in autopsy reports.

Almost all of the "MAGA" accounts on X have been determined to be located in other countries. Trump literally has to pretend he still has a huge following.
We know better. Hell, DC insiders are quietly working to oust him.

1. Native Americans probably have a very different perception of "settlers" / invaders.
2. This kind of romanticization of white American culture reminds me of Soviet and National Socialist propaganda. Like this one, straight out of Nazi Germany.

Have just realized that the silly “Bezos wants to buy Vogue as a lavish wedding gift for his bride” story that’s been circulating is inaccurate - Bezos wants to buy Condé Nast which owns The New Yorker,Teen Vogue, Wired & Arts Technica because he is an oligarch who wants to crush all dissent.

Novavax is superior to Pfizer & Moderna because it produces immunity that lasts much longer than the other options. And that it actually provides some measure of immunity from *infection,* which is the holy grail, innit?
Why does FDA not want to approve Novavax, a standard protein-based vaccine?
