@igorsushko @PawlowskiMario Probably similar number of Germans didn't want to admit Poland.

@TallbarFIN Ah yes, right now mosquito season is winding down and black fly season is about to begin. :)

@NiohBerg I guess you just found out that UK prime ministers aren't directly elected? It's a thing called a parliament.

@NOELreports Maybe next time Fico's in bed with Putin he could gently suggest that Vlad try to find a better use for his time than invading his neighbors and basically being a Russian oaf.

@Kasparov63 This is an ominous sign for Democrats nationally. What it means is lefty insanity has the potential to drive large traditional Democratic constituencies out of the party. Means MAGA could actually expand its reach and win suburban and urban areas. Even NY would not be safe blue.

@Kasparov63 So weird, growing up I would have assumed that educated, successful middle class people in our greatest city would be sensible voters. Somehow social media has destroyed people's ability to think rationally and act independently.

@TallbarFIN It's so Russian to follow its Czar into a foolish, suicidal war of conquest and simultaneously play victim and blame the world for all Russia's misfortunes.

@mattyglesias I wonder how often this works, that schizophrenic people read the sign, understand it and call the police on themselves. I guess stranger things have happened.

[Tom_b @tboynew]

@LibbySnowflak And being prepared is why there have been no Russian boots on Finnish soil since 1944 -- that's 82 years.

[Tom_b @tboynew]

@ChrisO_wiki Wow that's a piece of literature. Even by the standards of Russian history, a horrific litany of stupidity and self-inflicted hardship, Ukraine stands out as the fiasco of fiascos. Putin might be the greatest combination of bloodthirstiness and fecklessness in Russia's history.

@briantashman There won't be many Jewish Democrats the way things are going.

[Tom_b @tboynew]

@jalle51 Something is going on with L for sure. Russians probably are unable to keep their promises to support his regime financially, and if there's a rebellion the Russians have no troops to send in. Ukraine has exhausted Russia and that is bad news for Putin's clients.

@ADAlthousePhD Bad knee injury on a TD run, never really recovered from that physically. Maybe lost confidence. But yeah, he played like a future HOFer that first year.

@allenanalysis Was it that new drug to cure fecal incontinence?

[Tom_b @tboynew]

@steveschale No Kings Rallies do a lot of harm. Democrats need less performative politics, more actual politics. They need to stop campaigning to make themselves happy and remind themselves that the goal is to win the Electoral College.

[Tom_b @tboynew]

@Mylovanov If Europe puts forth a robust military and a strong posture, the Russians won't invade. Treaties and diplomatic words mean nothing to Russians. The ability to retatiate savagely -- that's the language Russians speak.

[Tom_b @tboynew]

@Mylovanov It's so obvious that Europe (and the US for that matter) need to master drone warfare and missile defense. The days of tank and infantry invasions are over, at least for this era and maybe forever.

[Tom_b @tboynew]

@ajfuzz1 Yes as Putin will tell you, Alaska was part of Russia until 1867 and he is going to take it back. And that will go just as well for him as it's going in Ukraine and Crimea.

[Tom_b @tboynew]

@ajfuzz1 Yes that Russian "Navy" is in the midst of a program to convert its vessels to an all-submarine force. Ukraine is helping with the conversions.

[Tom_b @tboynew]

@feelsdesperate High IQ means you heard of this thing called the Electoral College. New Yorkers can have the Khmer Rouge represent them in Congress, whatever, but Maoism won't help in 2028 when Dems need votes in Pa., Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada...
