All of Giuliani’s life events that I know about hit like season ending cliffhangers where you’re like ‘How’s he gonna get outta this one?’ People forget that Four Seasons Landscaping debacle was All Him, which is understandable because he also committed actual sexual harassment in a Borat movie.

Russia tried to assassinate the President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen by jamming her plane while landing. So far Europe has ignored the issue as to not give Russia the attention it wants and to quietly prevent themselves from reacting to this significant escalation by the Kremlin.

Perhaps you need to post a photo of said fabulous legs so that we can refer back to that when we need cheering up.

One thing that's particularly maddening about what's happening today—beyond that it's happening—is that when people talk about how we are moving toward authoritarianism, toward fascism, by a collection of narcissistic sociopaths, many Americans' eyes glaze over.

So much unity in the hope that one person dies. Global unity. Has that ever happened before?

Yeah, I guess my 45+ years in and around news and politics is all for naught. Clearly, I am shit. 🙄

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

As a Canadian, I am mystified by liberals who are flaying the only high-profile person in America who is actively and effectively fighting the fascists in power. Y’all must have a burning desire to be obliterated. SMDH.
