@OriginalRichSC Rich, seeing UW get dismantled on Friday at home, and UCLA taking down Oregon today, and us putting on a trademark CLR performance on the road at the moment, what's Your Gut feel for the rest of this season? most disappointing thing to me is that I am not seeing Improvement
@PubliusofTroy You and RichSC are my favorite Twitter accounts to follow. Thanks so much for doing this.
Given that you're both very eloquent and have insane knowledge of the game and a gift in explaining it to others, I'm convinced you're alter egos for the same person.
While the US President begs Zelensky to stop striking Russian refineries, Russian drones are murdering people in the center of Kyiv, targeting residential and shopping areas at lunch hour.
This is the Academy of Sciences.
No word yet from Trump asking Putin to stop any of this though..
The leader of the Republican Party is stealing money paid by American taxpayers to buy campaign ads for Republicans in the midterms. You can’t vote him out in 5 weeks, but you can vote out the people he’s trying to help with your money he’s thieving while they remain silent.
This is an extraordinary story of extortion and hypocrisy.
The U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle — a close Trump ally and former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr. — admitted that the United States helped bring down governments that stood in its way.
During a private dinner in Athens, while discussing the collapse of Romania’s government, Guilfoyle said: “We can do this to any country we want. We can do it here too.”
The Greek energy minister pushed back, saying the United States cannot simply replace a government elected by the people.
Guilfoyle insisted that they have already done this in Romania.
On March 31, Guilfoyle met privately in Bucharest with senior Romanian Social Democratic officials. The discussion included the Vertical Gas Corridor and energy cooperation.
Weeks later, the Social Democrats joined the pro-russian AUR party in a no-confidence vote that brought down Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan’s government. Bolojan had resisted a proposed arrangement involving expensive U.S. gas imports.
So, according to Guilfoyle, Trump administration engineered the collapse of Romania’s government in a clear extortion attempt. And to do so, they have collaborated with a far left party - the communists as MAGA calls them.
Anyone who still has any illusion that MAGA is a “conservative movement” needs a serious reality check.
"Ireland is helping supply Russia’s war machine," @TheEconomist The EU considers putting an Irish alumina refiner on its sanctions list (do it!)...The skins of missiles striking civilians in Kyiv this autumn and winter may be part Irish. https://t.co/48FJXFbm9R
Aughinish Alumina, a refinery in the west of Ireland, supplies a significant portion of the alumina used by Russia’s aluminium industry. The skins of missiles striking civilians in Kyiv this autumn and winter may be part Irish.
Aughinish is owned by Rusal, a Russian metals conglomerate. Its sales to Russia have surged since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, going from 24% of its exports in 2021 to 68% in 2025. The alumina travels to Rusal’s smelters in Siberia, which sell the finished aluminium to customers such as ask, a Moscow-based trader. ask in turn supplies over 100 Russian defence companies, which use it to build missiles, tanks, bombers and other weapons. ask’s aluminium has gone to factories that make gyroscopes for Kh-101 cruise missiles, engines for Sukhoi fighter jets and the Iskander-m ballistic missile. A few dozen of these firms are under eu sanctions.
Путин: "Россия будет бороться за права наших соотечественников в Прибалтике"
Меня читают жители стран Европы и стран-членов НАТО? Я ничего вам по этому поводу не скажу. Я просто покажу. Покажу фотографии городов, домов и улиц, за права жителей которых Путин борется в Украине
Благодаря Путину у немногих выживших жителей этих городов остается только одно право - право на получение каши да хлеба из рук российских оккупантов на руинах их прошлой жизни, в которой они и их семьи жили, работали, водили детей в детский сад и школу, виделись с друзьями, навещали пожилых родителей.
Именно это Путин называет защитой прав соотечественников и занимается он этим уже более 10 лет. Именно такая "защита прав россиян" нависает сейчас над странами Балтии. И я хочу, чтоб как можно больше людей из стран Евросоюза и НАТО это понимали!
Just saw a commercial on CBS praising Trump, I thought it was a political ad paid for by some super PAC. Instead, at the end, it said ‘Paid for by the US Government’, translation, paid for with your tax dollars. I don’t recall corruption this blatant ever…
Your tax dollars at work! When Fox News isn’t state TV enough, there’s now official US admin propaganda. What’s next on Comrade Trump's Soviet checklist?
Будучи русскоязычным (хотя я говорю на трёх языках, в т.ч. и дома) жителем Литвы, требую от россиян не заниматься моими правами. Которых у меня больше, чем у любого среднего гражданина РФ.
Спасибо заранее!
MAGA has spent the last year trying to pretend the left is in bed with China, then cheer and defend Trump wanting to sell them weapons.
How dumb is Maga?
Russia has found a way to overwhelm Ukraine's air defences with Iranian drones and Chinese engines. Kyiv is bracing for its hardest winter yet.
$300bn of Russian assets sit frozen in western banks. We must now put them to work for Ukraine.

There is no precedent for the federal government taking an incumbent president’s actual campaign material, purchasing national TV airtime for it during a campaign, and putting “Paid for by the U.S. Government” at the end.
It’s wrong. It’s theft. It’s un-American.
