As journalists descend on Uvalde, as they did on Columbine,
Newtown, and Parkland,some are questioning whether a more
graphic approach is required to capture the reality of America’s
gun violence epidemic. "It’s time," suggests one industry leader,
"to show what a slaughtered 7-year-old looks like."

Putin interfered in our 2016 election and we've been waiting
for an opportunity like this.
You are witnessing the beginning of our revenge.
NOBODY messes with the USA and gets away with it.

"Russian elections are rigged. Political opponents are
imprisoned or otherwise eliminated from participating in
the electoral process. The result is an absence of checks
and balances in Russia and the decision of one man to launch
a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq . . . er, Ukraine."

Typical modern conservative argument:
1. Never happened...fake news!
2. It happened, but not like the fake news said!
3. Ok, it happened like they said, but no crime was committed!
4. Ok, it happened and it was a crime, but not a big one!
5. Hillary!!!!!!!

East of Kyiv the Russians ran out of ammo so they started throwing

threw it back.

Pizzagate, Fostergate, CattleFuturesgate, Travelgate,
Filegate, Troopergate, Whitewater, Benghazi,
EmailGate, Uraniumgate - the list of GOP manufactured "scandals"
involving Hillary that have never amounted to
anything goes back for decades. The rightwing fear
of her just goes on and on............

My favorite political hypocrisy of all time:
"Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinon on Perjury and the Whitewater case:
The edifice of american jurisprudence rests on the foundation of
the due process of law. The mortar of that foundation is the oath.
Those who seek to obstruct justice weaken that foundation and those
who violate that oath would tear the whole structure down."
Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson on Perjury and the Plame leak case:
"I hope that if there is going to be an indictment that says something happened, that is an indictment based on a crime and not some
perjury techncality where they couldn't indict on the crime and
so they go to something just to show that the investigation was not
a waste of time and taxpayer dollars."

I'm finding more and more often rightists can't substantiate their
claims and opinions mostly because they lie to themselves about what
the facts are, Mostly because the facts they're dependent on don't
exist in the first place.
Leftists, otoh, live in a fantasy world of cotton candy sunshine,
lollipops
and flutterbies. A place where everybody is a sweet, innocent baby
who needs
to be coddled and protected from, well, everything, unless it gets
scraped
out of its mom's belly first.
Both seek to use government as a bludgeon to enforce their beliefs on
the rest of us.

"We do not have any problems with soldiers leaving combat positions,"
the Kremlin leader continued to falsely claim. "In a situation when
there is shelling or bombs falling, all normal people cannot help but
react to it, even on the physiological level. But after a certain
adaptation period, our men fight brilliantly, running in the opposite
direction to save themselves, courageously leaving their equipment
behind."

But it was Trump who hand-picked Walker for the Georgia Senate run,
just as he had chosen GOP nominees in other high-profile contests
this year, and the result was one more blemish on Trump’s record and
a fitting coda to his demoralizing fall from power." - <

The Poles, Czechs and Dutch need to upgrade their tank fleets but
they're
short of cash at the moment.
So . . .
They trade in their T72s for Abrams tanks.
They get 100K per tank trade in and an easy payment plan for the
balance.
Yes, we do accept euros, but not rubles or crypto.
We then donate the tanks to Ukraine.
Thus, not only is Putin being beaten on the battlefield,
we're damaging his arms industries, arming Ukraine on the cheap and
making a few bucks in the process.
Isn't capitalism *useful*! Lol!
