So people days after Trump has a phone call with Putin, sanctions are eased on Russia.

There is a staggering level of corruption and treachery that the american people seem to be willing to accept.

Amazing that the Capitol was stormed, not in protest against this stuff, but in defence of it.

Why is the U.K. media spending more time talking about 6 US soldiers who died yesterday and spending very little time talking about the 150 young school girls who were killed by US bombs in Iran?

The White House turning war and death into content mimicking video games is a moral collapse, not a messaging strategy. War is not a game!

EPIC FAIL

No real strategic benefit, just a very provocative token gesture. Likelier to goad them into fighting harder and longer than agreeing to any kind of deal. But it'd also be for-real boots on the ground invading Iran which is even more unpopular than bombing Iran. It's so dumb I can see them doing it.

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.

Attorney General Bondi thinks she can play hide-and-go-seek with the Epstein Files, but the law is clear and mandatory.

She must release the Files in their entirety so we can end this massive coverup and elite protection for predators.

(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors
or surrender accepted;
(2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such
that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted;

ability to accept surrender would exist;
(4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate
forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and
(5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

I have absolutely no doubt that come the midterms the GOP in Texas is going to do every single thing it can to suppress votes, including causing as much confusion as possible on Election Day. The GOP cannot afford to lose the midterms in Texas so be prepared for all kinds of shenanigans.

Denmark's wind turbine generation surplus meant ordinary consumers have enjoyed six hours of free electricity [so far] this week, because it's cheaper to give that surplus away than shut down the turbines to reduce output.

Why didn't they just drill for more oil?

It’s just a video game to them so they burn through real world supply like it’s replenished after earning enough game stats.

Hegseth & his lexicon of misunderstood war buzz words (you know; combat ineffective, warfighters, lethality, etc) is a veil of pretend competence. Spoiler, Iran is not combat ineffective while it holds oil tankers under risk. He's, at best, a platoon commander without promise.

Alternative perspective:

The US is decimating its credibility in a way the world has never seen before.

Never before has a modern society so quickly destroyed its reputation.

I think I've probably used a bank note once in the past month and maybe a coin at some point too to get a supermarket trolley.

Amazing how much energy is being spent this week by the right of British politics on something that is rapidly becoming an irrelevance
