Since traitor trump has yet again mocked John McCain for his time spent as a POW, a reminder:
While John McCain nearly starved to death in a tiny, squalid North Vietnamese prison cell, his body broken from a plane crash, botched operations and months of torture… Donald trump was a five-time draft dodger dining in fancy restaurants and riding around Manhattan in his daddy’s limo.
So fuck that orange asshole.

We are currently in a pre-stage of a world war. I compare it to the period between 1936-1939. The civil war in Spain is raging and it is unclear who will win, but Italy and Germany help Franco, while the West mainly stays silent. Same goes with Czechoslovakia and Austria, two sovereign nations which still are independent but on the verge to be annexed. Again the West does nothing. By the end of this pre-world war period the fascist regimes have achieved everything and with the Hitler-Stalin Pact the gates to WW2 are now fully open.

Russia, North Korea and Iran, as well as their minions such Hezbollah, Hamas, Assad-Syria and the Houthis in Yemen are currently moving against the free world. China is in my opinion currently more on the side-lines even when some Chinese hardware appears in Russian arsenal, but it is far from what it could be if China seriously goes in. China has its own plan and it does not include an existent Russia.

This might sound bleak but it doesn't have to be. There is still a chance to avert world war 3. The key to everything is Ukraine, and this is no hyperbole. When Russia fails in Ukraine, then the whole axis of the dictatorships will fall apart. Putin will be considered the greatest loser of Russian history, will be removed and Russia in its current form will end to exist. Regimes in countries like Belarus, Syria and Serbia will lose their puppetplayer and will end. The mullah regime will be extremely exposed and vulnerable, offering the freedom-loving people of Iran to finally overthrow their mullah regime. This in turn will cause a domino effect in the Middle-East, ending the most important ally of the Assad regime, Hezbollah and Hamas, and freeing Syria and Lebanon from their biggest curse.

It is up to us in the West if we want to avert WW3. Ukraine and her fight are directly connected to this question. Ukraine is the key between freedom for all of us or WW3 if Ukraine is abandoned. There is nothing in between. It cannot be overstated that this is the single-greatest decision of our times.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

The cars arrived in Lviv a few days ago and will now be sent to the frontlines. https://t.co/06kcPV93zi

I'm too old to remember when a statement like this would end your political career, especially in the Republican party.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Kevin McCarthy removed.
Scalise, Jordan & McHenry denied.
No Speaker for weeks.
Nothing passed.
Republicans: ‘Our majority is too slim to get things done!!’
Nancy Pelosi with the same slim majority:
The Inflation Reduction Act, Access to Baby Formula Act, CHIPS and Science Act, Safer Communities Act, PACT Act, Violence Against Women Act, American Rescue Plan,
Respect for Marriage Act, The Infrastructure and Jobs Act, the American Rescue Plan…
All of it… in heels.

🚨5 Days Until Mercado Media YouTube Channel termination

So far, the peace email has gone ignored. This is what they had to say on their stream about it last night.

I still give @ItsTheEnforcer YouTube Channel until 7pm Kyiv time (noon U.S Eastern) to respond to my peace agreement and remove these strikes.

If they do not take it upon themselves to do this by high noon, I will post the email offer I sent to Enforcer Matt and share some details with you all of a wild card action that is in motion to remove these strikes on my YouTube Channel outside of the US Court of Law.

I want legal action to be the LAST resort to save my YouTube Channel. I cannot afford a legal battle, pay my rent and utilities, and the current levels of aid to Ukraine i am able to provide. Let alone take on the project I have planned to report at the US southern border.

I am once again asking if you support BOTH my channel, and The Enforcer, to go on their social media platform on X/Twitter, and their stream on YouTube from last night or wherever, and plead for them to remove these strikes on my channel on their own.

This has only hurt Ukraine. Do the right thing Andrew and Matthew Blevins of The Enforcer YouTube Channel.

6 former OSU wrestlers came forward saying Jim Jordan knew about sexual abuse against players by a team doctor and did nothing. One wrestler says Jordan dismissed his complaint when he told him what was happening.

The doctor abused at least 177 students.

How do you think the Ukrainians feel?

These Ukrainian civilians were out at the grocery store when russia sent missiles and decided they were a legitimate military target

This is what Elon Musk finds funny in his jokes and memes about Zelenskyy asking for more aid to combat this genocide.

My thoughts and continued efforts are with the people of Ukraine.
