77 million. That's an awful lot of dumb.
I know you're not supposed to say such things out loud. But ALL the things we are all screaming about now - liar, racist, misogynist, felon, psycho, orange, buffoon, Putin lover, you name it - have been known and documented FOR DECADES. And still.
Conclusion?

OPEN LETTER TO EDDIE MURPHY
After having watched your great Netflix documentary, I beg you to make THE movie about Dobald Frump. Who would not love to see you in an orange fat suit, and also playing Putin, Lavrov, Vance, Rubio, Leawitt, Hegseth etc?
I am starting to collect signatures, Eddie.

President Stubb of Finland IS there. ('Finland - is that even a country?'๐Ÿค” you can hear Dobald Frump wonder).
The REAL question is whether Dobald Frump is there? And how 77 million Americans could ignore that? For more on Dobald's international disasters:

Lest we forget: 77 million Americans voted for these nitwits.
SEVENTY-SEVEN MILLION.
That's a lot of dumb.

I said this already 11 years ago:
The war in Ukraine = Putin's Afganistan.

Lavrov rumours = too much blabber by too many people who know too little.
Their 'qualification' seems to be that they have internet.
Such hunting for 'likes' dressed up as 'expertise' - 'my sources tell me' bs - does NOT help us understand or solve the war in Ukraine. On the contrary.
Please stop.

A heart warming moment as guests in a restaurant remind Dobald Frump that he is the president of U.S.A. (and not Russia)๐Ÿ˜‰
Watching his foreign policy - 'made in the Kremlin', as Putin's advisors (jokingly?) call it - one could easily get in doubt:

Phone sex with Dobald Frump.
Yes, that's right, now you too will never be able to un-think that thought.

Carl Sagan, writing in 1995, warned that soon America would be ruled by illiterate elites wielding โ€œawesome technological powers,โ€ and that most people, their brains broken by screens, would be unable to resist. We are living in the nightmare that Sagan foresaw.

At just 2 years old, a Ukrainian boy already knows what a Shahed drone is, and that when it flies somewhere nearby, it is necessary to hide in the hallway.

U.S. Prez meets the owners of Central Asia. He expresses envy - 'you guys fixed the election once and stayed forever, smart. Tell me, please, how do you handle the opposition? Oh, you dont have that concept? Tell me more.' (I may be paraphrasing. Probably not.)

...then watch a Russian drone hunting down and killing two elderly people outside Kharkiv - they are clearly holding up a white flag.
Russia - โ€œuncivilizedโ€? You bet.
Sure, Ukraine also uses their drones to kill - Russian soldiers who have invaded their country. Not defenceless civilians. 2/2

Angelina Jolie, UN Goodwill Ambassador, visited hospitals in Kherson today.
Kherson is being attacked by Russian drones and missiles every day.
Last week I interviewed friends and acquaintances in the city where only 20% of the pre-war population is left.

RUSSIA = UN-CIVILIZED What I have learned about Russians in the last three years and seven months, since Russia invaded Ukraine.

Russia - โ€œuncivilizedโ€? You bet.
Some were upset that I called Russia and Russians โ€œuncivilizedโ€. Read my piece, link below.
Then watch the video of a Russian drone hunting down and killing.... 1/2

His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

I don't get Medicaid.

Iโ€™m not on food stamps.

I rely on no Social Safety nets.

But I still believe in FULLY funding these programs.

Why?

Because I'm not a cruel ruthless selfish piece of shit.

Cheneyโ€™s record on Ukraine is complex: he warned early about Russian imperialism and supported Kyivโ€™s independence, but his motives were more strategic influence than love of democracy. Mildly put.

Buck Woods tells German-speaking Nazis what he thinks of them while performing in France. Somehow feels relevant these days.

From REUNION IN FRANCE, starring Joan Crawford and John Wayne, released on Christmas, 1942.
