I have a confession to make:
IRL I'm fucking crazy.
My craziness often influences my social media activities, in that sometimes I just need to vent incoherently, and am often not in a condition to communicate one on one. I also use a lot of drugs and alcohol I apologize.

APPLEBAUM: Putin presented a fake image of Russia to the world. He talks about himself as leader of traditional society.
In fact, divorce rates are very high in Russia, abortion is very common, very few Russians go to church, and less than 5% of Russians have ever read a Bible.
So it's not an especially religious or traditional culture, but Putin has made himself the face of that idea because it's politically advantageous.
He uses it both to build support, to court, and to win over sympathizers in the West, and maybe he uses it at home as well.
It looks a little bit like how in the 1930s Soviet communists also sold a vision of the Soviet Union to Americans and Europeans about how marvelous it was and how they had discovered a new kind of political system.
If you've never been to Russia, Russia is a large country, it's far away, so you can imagine a lot of things about it. You can create a kind of imaginary Russia, an imaginary Soviet Union.
Especially if you only visit Moscow and St. Petersburg, like most tourists do. But most of the people who admire Russia haven't even been to Moscow and St. Petersburg.
It's very similar today. You have a part of European right and American right who have this imaginary Russia that they use as a symbol, without understanding that it has no relationship to reality.
Becoming kind of clear that Tulsi pulled the biolab and Fauci charades these past few days in order to distract and get ahead of this story.
Not working, by the way!
Of the many pathetic characteristics of Trump's defenders and sycophants is that they regularly defend idiocy like this. How humiliating for them, as their addled idol babbles new lies and contradictions every day.
My correspondent Andrew Moore @MooreIAm came to me wanting to report from the front lines for @LoomerUnleashed in Ukraine, and I said yes, because I have watched Russian state media RT @RT_com amplify Woke Reich podcasters' attacks on me and President Trump @realDonaldTrump, his administration and threaten to provide Iran with nuclear weapons to attack the United States.
The Kremlin loves to sell Russia as a SAFE HAVEN for Christians, while Russia has attacked or destroyed over 700 churches and synagogues in their war with Ukraine. They have also partnered with Islamic jihadists and Ramzan Kadyrov to mass murder Ukrainian Christians as a form of jihad for Russia.
This week, Russia fired a drone at the OLDEST standing church in Ukraine, yet they still have the nerve to say they are some kind of protector of Christians.
