Giving up Donbas β or any portion of Ukraine β is unfathomable to locals of Ukrainian descent, who insist their entire homeland must be sovereign without exception or partial surrender.

What? So, let me get this straight - Rudy gets in a car crash - not even 72 hours later he's being awarded the Presidential of freedom? And, still no sight of the President.

Hundreds gathered at a Chicago pro-labor demonstration and slammed Trumpβs plan to send federal immigration agents and potentially National Guard troops to the city. The protest is a part of a series expected to stretch throughout the country.

Wasn't asking you, but, since you chimed in. I think you're cavalier attitude underscores the problem we have in this country as it relates to the Israeli government. Why is it that genocide scholars, such as Oner Bartov, a Zionist Genocide Scholar says it is Genocide.

Where have you heard her SS detail afforded by the Fed had NOT ended? To me, if her team was saying, it wasn't nefarious - I tend to believe them. They'd have every reason to say otherwise.

You're entitled to your opinion. Go for it.
ElizaD πππΉοΈ (@delizad.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree with you. She'll be protected, of course. What I'm saying is her Team, apparently did not feel the termination of her SS was in bad faith. THEY said it...so this story feels manufactured in a certain respect. It is meant to enflame people because it suggests something nefarious.
ElizaD πππΉοΈ (@delizad.bsky.social) reply parent
Every VP gets 6 months post election of SS. Her's ended. Having said that Trump has done vindictive shit to Biden's kid, whereas Biden extended protection to Trump's kids. Not saying he's not vindictive, but, in this case it wasn't.

Yes, yes! The dumb President wants power regardless and does not care if it sets off a gerrymandering war. By definition, meddling in elections mid-census is a bad idea. But, you know? Whatever.

I hate engaging in this discussion because it invites extreme responses from both sides of the argument. Q - what do you say to people like Cindy McCain who have seen the starvation and have spoken to what needs to be done? No journalists allow? We're supposed to assume Israel is doing "their best"

Just for the record, the discussion of Narcissism/PD of the President - has the opposite effect on me. It is the only frame for an accurate recounting, and to observe this President and no one wants to talk about it.
