Conflict between the Ukrainian Nazis and the American and European hard/fash right will be interesting to say the least, when the Azov guys flood into the west.
If you think Khruschev was bad, you should dig into Gorbachev and read Vladislav Zubok's Collapse. Just page after page of a deluded man making the stupidest decisions possible and no one stopping him for reasons that are hard to wrap your mind around.
Bolsonaro is in the hospital again lmao
Literally why should the President pay attention to anything the Supreme Court says, then?
Like, why not just say that everything regulatory agencies do also constitutes an official act by the President, so WHOOPS! There goes your dismantling of Chevron, John Roberts. Regulations aren't reviewable by any court now. Fuck you.
There's a scene in Super Size Me where he goes to his doctor and finds out he has liver damage, and the documentary presents this as if the McDonald's did that to him when he was actually just a massive alcoholic
WTF Putin pivoting to be pro-LGBT????
The Russian dictator also spoke out in support of representatives of the LGBT community.
Putin began by saying that in order to win cultural competitions in the West, he imagines it is necessary to "talk about, write or show something from the lives of sexual minorities, transgenders [sic] and other transformers".
Quote: "I’m going to say something unexpected: they too – these topics and these people – have the right to win [competitions], to show and to tell [their stories]. Because this is part of society too, it’s how some people live. It's bad if they are the only ones to win all these competitions – we don’t want that. But this desire for equality... this equality should be everywhere, in everything – especially cultural competitions."
Apparently a synagogue was destroyed by rioters last night in Tunisia. This conflict is also amplifying antisemitic violence. Just horrible all around.
Goddamn lol:
It all returns to nothing
It all comes tumbling down tumbling down tumbling down
Trump just publicly ruled out Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo serving in his administration. Haley's no surprise, but Pompeo is. First actual indication that the advertised anti-neocon turn in his second administration might be legit.
