American priorities appear bizarre…guns & military above health & equality. Citizens have guns they don’t really need; the military exhausts the budget; health care is nonexistent for many; the rich get obscenely richer; & now the oligarchs are in charge. The slowly unfolding great American tragedy😢
A singing colleague from India asked last night…
“What’s about ‘Make America Great’? As a kid in India, everyone looked up to America…now no-one trusts America”
From an overseas perspective, American credibility will take years, or more likely decades to recover from TACO…if it ever does. 😢

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

The Georgie election tampering prosecution against TACO is ended…& of course TACO is crowing from the rooftops
Giving TACO the benefit of the doubt for “Find me votes” as a genuine enquiry is absurd…& in any event a matter for jurors
TACO escapes accountability again…a sad result for justice IMHO😢

On tonight’s episode: Pam Bondi lunges at Lindsey Halligan: "You ruined my James Comey revenge!" Halligan yells, “You were the idiot who let the statute of limitations run!” A drunk Jeanine Pirro pushes them apart. Pam snarls at Pirro: “I’m not through with you, Miss Can’t Get a Fucken Indictment!”

On all the evidence so far, there’s nothing they’ve thought through!

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

everyone wants peace by negotiation, but history teaches us appeasement doesn’t work
Negotiations don’t start with giving 1 side everything (esp’ly w/Putin!) but that’s where TACO’s plan starts…& thus the plan is doomed, sadly😢
TACO’s “great negotiator” claims are again proven 🐂💩

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

I can't put into the words the visceral hatred I feel towards the administration in the US. The pain their behaviour is causing to Ukrainians is unforgivable.
Ukrainians have russians terrorising them with missiles & drones. Now the US is terrorising them with russian demands for capitulation.
