“This war is being fought by a lot of people who are not called Vladimir Putin. The person who fired that missile . . . the tens of thousands of Russian soldiers fighting and killing in Ukraine” https://t.co/c9cBqzHjma
@PaulNiland Tim Miller was on the news last night, and said that Russia will end the war like the Prigozhin mutiny - Putin and his thugs will behave as if it never happened.
@PaulNiland I have used an analogy to Adam Smith’s ‘ invisible hand’ regarding Russia’s personnel in Ukraine. Smith argued that economic self-interest would naturally drive choices. It works! Now replace $ with 💀. RU troops will choose life. Putin propaganda can’t stop this choice.
@JRubinBlogger@ThirdWayKessler NYT always, always (forgive my language) f$&ks Biden good news. Shame on them. Oh, and by the way #NYT, you are engaging in this behavior while the American Democracy hangs in the balance.
I know both of these guys. Stepien is a model of the 1930’s banality of evil German functionary. Miller, my former intern, is just a deadbeat dad pig of a person who never made it in politics until Trump brought him on board his ship of fools. They deserve each other.
“The new X Card means a lot of things: fine dining. Gaming rewards. Even VIP opportunities with celebrities like Bo Derek, Adrienne Barbeau, and Frank Sinatra, Jr. But most of all it means a guaranteed getaway at Iowa’s finest gaming resort.”
@AlexThomp Charles Manson never went to Tate’s house, that was the Manson Family with ill will in their hearts. I don’t hold Charles responsible, he didn’t show up and threaten Tate’s life.
@matthewjdowd 90% of the Nazi party members were Christians. Over the centuries, Christians have not exactly been associated with peaceful behavior when demogogues or even popes make them feel threatened.
@SykesCharlie Don’t say ‘how deranged our politics has become’. That’s the wrong framing. Don’t rope normal voters into the crazy pen - we have been fighting like hell to preserve normalcy. It’s Trump.
