Democratic leaders think they are minority party of governing coalition, rather than opposition party to authoritarian regime.

Why should Ukraine compromise? It was attacked without provocation, violating a treaty Russia signed guaranteeing its sovereignty. The only compromise might be how much Russia owes in reparations. Diplomatically, Putin might need a face-saving approach, but that’s on him to accept.

It may be difficult, but not complex. Very simple, really: Russia must leave Donetsk completely, permanently. As well as any other Ukrainian territory as of Feb 2022. Then details about reparation, repatriation of kidnapped children, and prosecution of war crimes can be negotiated. #SlavaUkraini

Farage is a Putin stooge just like Π’Ρ€Π°ΠΌΠΏ. Nigel’s Brexit hobbled the UK which benefits no one except Russia. They are β€œtwo birds of a feather.”

I wouldn’t believe Republicans if they said the Sun rises in the East. Actions speak louder than words. Impeach him NOW, before he does any more damage. Once he invades Greenland, it’s too late. NATO will be irreparably destroyed, our reputation totally sunk, and our economy goes into a tailspin.

Hey, there are those who thought the Cybertruck is stylish. People have a right to flaunt their appalling lack of taste. We get to laugh at them.

How incredibly sad is it that a news organization that once boasted of being the β€œTiffany Network” for the quality of its reportage and hard-hitting interviews has been reduced to the cheap β€œTemu Network.”

With just 17 days until Obamacare tax credits expire, it’s now clear: Congressβ€”and the countryβ€”are headed over the Obamacare cliff. Even if the House acts, the Senate won’t move in time.

It’s outrageous that all members of Congress have great, taxpayer-funded healthcare! Screw regular Americans!!

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech β€” rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

When the term was coined, cars were mostly steel and often the damage could be repaired. Today’s autos have mostly aluminum and plastic to save weight, improve fuel economy. Those often cannot be repaired; body panels must be replaced, hiking costs. More cars are now β€œtotaled” after fender benders.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a β€œbubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

It’s amazing that Dems don’t see that their base has totally lost confidence in leadership and therefore some heads need to roll in leadership to restore confidence *even if* behavior does not significantly change. It’s genuinely elitism.
