Yesterday was my birthday. A very dear friend of mine painted these for me. They were the only presents I received (I’m not seeking pity). They are probably the greatest gifts I have ever been given. Name was marked out to protect the guilty 😬😬😬

Dirk Nowitzki won more games without star help than any other player in league history. He's even ahead of LeBron.

Now you know that.

Here’s the investigation we should have: Who decided to hit 15,000 targets and have so little to show for it except the tragic loss of 13 American servicemembers, higher gas prices for American families, and a depleted stockpile of critical munitions?

OTD in 2022 Russian warship Moskva, that was told “go fuck yourself”, went & fucked itself and sunk. By a country without a navy. In a land war.

I remain a master strategist.

He's called fallen soldiers suckers and losers. He's said he likes people who weren't captured in war. He's insulted a Gold Star family. Now he's telling us "a whole civilization will die tonight." The GOP abdicated their oath of office and let a mad man destroy the party.

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

Right then.
Let me explain something very slowly, because it appears some basic logic has gone missing somewhere over the Atlantic.

No serious nation in the history of warfare has spent fourteen months insulting its allies, threatening to annex their territory, siding with their common enemy, and then knocked on their door expecting them to come running to rescue a catastrophe of its own making. That is not how alliances work. That is not how anything works.

You abused the UK. You threatened Canada. You tried to grab Greenland. You called the EU an adversary. You praised Putin, the one man every serious NATO ally has spent decades preparing to fight. You hosted Kremlin officials in the Capitol. You undermined European elections. You abandoned Ukraine. You imposed tariffs on your closest partners. You did all of this loudly, proudly, and on camera.
And now you are surprised that nobody is returning your calls.

Here is a question worth sitting with. Why do you think that is? Is it possible, just possible, that when you treat your allies like enemies for over a year while cuddling up to their actual enemy, those allies might update their opinion of you? Is that concept too complicated? Does that require more working memory than is currently available?

You did not plan this war with your allies. You did not consult them. You did not build a coalition. You started a conflict, watched it go sideways, and then got on your knees asking for help from people you spent fourteen months calling weak, corrupt and irrelevant.

NATO is not what it was. Not because Europe changed. Because Washington made crystal clear which side it is on. And it is not ours.

You want European boots on the ground? Start by explaining why America is more aligned with Moscow than with Brussels. Take your time. We will wait.

Qatar bribed Donald with a $400 million jet in the belief he would do what they wanted.

"Covid will be over in two weeks. Gone by Easter"
"We're signing a health care plan within two weeks"
"They’re dying, Russians & Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours"

Based on his record, this isn’t ending anytime soon.

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying [FBI Director] Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

There's still 3 million Epstein files to be released to the American public, and this is what your FBI Director is doing instead.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today marks exactly four years since Putin started his three-day push to take Kyiv. And that says a great deal about our resistance, about how Ukraine has fought all this time. Behind those words stand millions of our people, immense courage, incredibly hard work, endurance, and the long path Ukraine has been pursuing since February 24.

Looking back at the beginning of the invasion and reflecting on today, we have every right to say: we have defended our independence, we have not lost our statehood; Putin has not achieved his goals. He has not broken Ukrainians; he has not won this war. We have preserved Ukraine, and we will do everything to secure peace and justice. Glory to Ukraine!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Thank you for your principled stance!

[Maria Avdeeva @maria_avdv]

Vladyslav Heraskevych disqualified.
Not even allowed to start.

But he has already won.
The world saw the names of Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia. And the hypocrisy of those who claim to stand for peace.

You can ban us from the track.
You cannot silence Ukraine.
