Apologies. Posted the same clip on both posts.

Here is the “FCC you” explanation from Colbert about WTf is going on: youtu.be/oh7DPSP65JA?...

I really hope that translates into "The DHS is dead on arrival, then."

The GOP giving the Dems the line of "The admin wants us to pick between the Constitution and the DHS" is one hell of a gift.

They voted to MAGA… for lowlife grifters and dimwit billionaires.

It’s one of those couch conspiracies people start while sitting on their couches and posting.

I think it was an Economist article stating that historically countries that elect populists become poorer within 15yrs.

Good!

Kavanaugh Stop

What’s remarkable is that MAGA is undermining ‘western culture’ by their lawless, undemocratic, crony capitalism and empowerment of theocrats wannabes.

There are many nonwhites who far better uphold western values because they lived through the alternative.

Kaja Kallas in Munich:

"The greatest threat Russia presents right now is that it gains more at the negotiation table than it has achieved on the battlefield."

Exactly. For a year, the USA has been pressuring Ukraine to surrender in a war it hasn’t lost, and those

It’s the people Vs. #EpsteinClass of elites

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.

The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

“Two weeks”?
