Deep state. Deep state of what, it's hard to say. Uncool. Unwoke. Impecunious. Colour revolutionary. Self-identifying as a flying pig.

Trump and Putin are both failing, but neither will leave peacefully.

To expand the mountaineering analogy: Pu can't get to the top and claim victory (can't conquer Ukraine), can't keep trying forever (maintain the war), but he can't climb down fast either (end the war) because the mountaineering federation (regime) and the public will see him as a failure and end him

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

America deserves better.

Thinking about how one of Chomsky's last public comments was "none of your business" in response to inquiries about his association with Jeffrey Epstein. This mother fucker was chumming it up with fascists behind the scenes while we looked to him as a moral authority.

None of us should put pressure on Zelenskyy when it comes to territorial concessions. We should all put pressure on Russia to stop its aggression. Appeasement never was a road to a just and lasting peace.

As Russia attacks Ukraine, Trump pats himself on the back for a β€œpause” that doesn’t exist Last week, Trump thanked Putin for pausing attacks in Ukraine, even as Putin launched new attacks. This week, it happened again.

Last week: Trump praises Putin for pausing attacks in Ukraine, even as Putin launches additional attacks in Ukraine.

This week: Trump *again* praises Putin for pausing attacks in Ukraine, even as Putin launches *even more* attacks in Ukraine.

Russia struck Zaporizhzhia as residents were commuting home. Two 18-year-olds killed, eight wounded including three children during an extended air alert.

"As soon as the security situation allows, we will begin documenting the damage. But, sadly, human lives cannot be brought back."

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

The real bombshell in the Epstein emails is being ignored.

They suggest Epstein played a role in Russian leverage over Donald Trump, offering guidance to people close to Putin on how to influence a sitting US president.

Trump is compromised.

This needs far wider attention:
