A Russian finds a magic lamp, rubs it, and a genie appears.
“I grant you a wish,” says the genie.
“Anything?”
“Yes,” the genie answers, “but whatever you wish for, your neighbor will get double.”
The Russian thinks for a moment, then says:
“Poke out one eye.”

On November 8th, we're going to find out if the years of flag waving and "U-S-A, U-S-A" chants and "America: love it or leave it" taunts and "These colors don't run" bumper stickers, and Reagan's "Morning in America" and Bush's "kinder, gentler nation" were all just a @GOP act.

Vologda governor @O_Kuvshinnikov is now calling it "territorial defense:"
"Uniforms and rations have all been distributed. They have everything they need. Special gear, including weapons, will be distributed just prior to deployment."

In the weeks before the northeast defeat, Russian forces were struggling with surveillance and electronic warfare. They were using off-the-shelf drones flown by barely trained soldiers, documents show https://t.co/29X5bxowID via @specialreports @saitomri

@SlavaMalamud Notice anything strange about Santa’s schedule for December 16th and 17th? Odd spending two days in Taganrog, no?

Glad the CPC withdrew yesterday’s letter. Let’s focus on the fundamental importance of the Ukrainian struggle for national sovereignty, democracy, and freedom and continue to unite America behind this historic imperative. My complete statement: https://t.co/lSXe6CSpmd

@juliaioffe Any comment by the letter's endorsers (and fellow useful idiots), such as @QuincyInst, @WinWithoutWar, @justfp and @FCNL? Of course, it's the @GOP that represents the real threat here, promising as they do to cut aid to Ukraine if able to retake Congress next month.

[Will Harte @willharte]

Two days in Taganrog? Looks like Grandfather Frost may be headed to Mariupol, #Ukraine, in mid December. Too late, of course, for the kids among 600 killed in March by Russian air strikes at the Donetsk theater and the many later kidnapped and sent to Russia.

With communications services - largely controlled by #Ethiopia federal authorities - shut off, limiting real-time reporting, here's a helpful summary of why war in #Tigray is not only out of sight but also "probably the most brutal & deadly in world today" https://t.co/xMSnrU486m

@USProgressives Gotta love it when the Democratic far left wraps around to the Republican far right

[Will Harte @willharte]

@NewsHour @nickschifrin Of course it’s cover for further Russian atrocities, so why repeat the ludicrous deception? At some point (any point?), giving oxygen to Russian propaganda plays into its hands and kills Ukrainians.
