How Russian soldiers ran a 'cleansing' operation in Bucha BUCHA, Ukraine (AP) — The first man arrived at 7:27 a.m. Russian soldiers covered his head and marched him up the driveway toward a nondescript office building.

That comment and what it reveals about his character, cannot be overlooked. If you don’t know about Bucha, the attached article tells you all you need to know. And once you know, you will understand why “propaganda tour” are two little words that deserve a lot more attention than they are getting.

The fact that Zelenskyy didn’t walk out or blow up required more self-restraint than many of us could show. Imagine if a world leader mocked 9/11 in front of a US President. In front of the World Press. What would our opinion be of that person? How hurtful would that be to the American people?

Vance refers to this witnessing as a “Propaganda Tour”. Think about that for a moment. Witnessing evidence of war crimes perpetrated by Russian soldiers… is a “propaganda tour” in Vance’s opinion. That’s sick folks.

Civilians murdered. Executed bodies left in the streets, with hands bound. Children kidnapped. Women raped. It was an actual hell on earth. The ICC and the free world have condemned what happened there. Hence why visiting lawmakers want to bear witness and learn firsthand what happened.

In my opinion that is one of the most disturbing things that happened, with little mention after the fact.

When lawmakers visit Ukraine, some are shown Bucha. It is a suburb outside of Kyiv. It is the site of a brutal massacre perpetrated by the Russians. War crimes on every corner.

All weekend social media has been filled with posts about Trump and Zelenskyy’s meeting. I want to add JD Vance’s comment, “PROPAGANDA TOURS” to the discussion. When answering Zelenskyy’s question about visiting Ukraine, Vance accused him of taking lawmakers on “propaganda tours”.

And extorting them on the way out

Zelensky had three years to surrender and refused. So Trump is doing it for him.

God help the hostages being held in Gaza tonight

Okay… so I did just hear that right.

Torn between feeling like the collective “we” need to reach out and talk to our friends and neighbors… and Darwin. 🙄

Pretending he has an electoral mandate, Trump keeps making stuff up Donald Trump keeps lying about the margin of his election victory because the truth is too inconvenient to leave intact.

As for the popular vote, according to the latest tally from the Cook Political Report, Trump won 49.8% of the vote, a margin of 1.47% over Harris.

Harris, interestingly enough, "won a higher percentage of the popular vote than Trump received in 2016 or 2020..."

“Candles of joy, despite all sadness
Candles of hope, where despair keeps watch
Candles of courage for fear ever present
Candles of peace for tempest-tossed days
Candles of grace to ease heavy burdens
Candles of love to inspire all my living
Candles that will burn all the year long”
