@VictorFlores406 Right. “We’d definitely be interested” is certainly open for interpretation if you already bought into Choate’s little narrative. Nevada didn’t even ask about 2026, the asked about 2027 to start…so maybe, you know, do some objective journalisming? Or, whatever this is���
A brilliant question from Dmitry Gordon to the American representatives.
“I have a question for you, Mr. Witkoff. You’ve met with President Putin many times. Don’t you think that Putin has been fooling you all this time? Don’t you think that Putin, the Russians, and Russia as a whole understand only one language — the language of force? And finally: Doesn’t it disgust you to sit at the same table with an international war criminal, the tormentor of the Ukrainian people, who is personally responsible for the Ukrainian tragedy?”
Of course, not a single substantive answer was given. Just a story about how well the Russians treated them.
“I think I’ve traveled to Moscow eight times now and met with President Putin and his team. Jared (Kushner) and I — I think it’s been three of us on three occasions — and we’ve always been treated with respect by President Putin and his team. Relationships are important — critically important — for resolving such conflicts. If you sever ties with all parties, then any communication will have very little chance of finding a peaceful solution to the problem.
We came in order to meet first with President Putin and then with the opposition. We had a very good, substantive discussion, and we advised President Zelenskyy that both sides must find a solution to the problems — and I am working toward that — by bringing the sides together to reduce the tensions between them and establish communication. And I hope that we have begun this process constructively over the past 48 hours. We hope that we will find — and we are confident that we will find — a solution.”
Some notes from yesterday's #GrizFB game. UM had a few guys not suit up or play:
-Safety Kade Cutler
-CB Brady Beaner
-DL Hayden Schwartz (2nd game)
-RB Hashim Jones (2nd game)
Guys who did play who didn't suit up in Week 1:
-CB Gabe Stroud
-Safety Adama Fall
Two things:
1) Gotta buy more Canadian crude, then, bro.
2) tariffs, while no doubt feeling like they address your grievance in the moment, actually make the structural problem worse
@CaolanReports Ukraine compromised with the Budapest memorandum, Minsk I and II, and with numerous offers of ceasefires in the last few years.
It's the Kremlin's turn to compromise, not Ukraine's.
For the 1 millionth time, all Witkoff is doing in praising Putin is speaking for Trump and as Trump would like.
Criticising Witkoff for it without criticising Trump is complete moral cowardice.
20% growth isn't optimistic, it's fiction. Growth in 2025 was slower than 2024. So far in 2026, slower still. At some point you have to just call it what it is: a lie. Let's stop debating the number and talk about the actual economy. Full video: https://t.co/qhdXVA0q7N
The U.S. House will be in session only 4 full days from July 24th to November 8th.
That’s 100 paid days off versus 4 full workings days plus 4 travel (half) days.
Meanwhile TRUMP says YOU have too many holidays.
This is very impressive. In only 80 years, Donald Trump has reached a 3rd grade reading comprehension. Could he be the first president in the last two years to master fractions and percentages?
now we just need a few more million barrels of refining capacity to turn that oil into something the market needs even more: gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, etc
Reminder for Americans...When government controls the people by way of the corporations, that is the textbook definition of fascism.
Not "everything I hate is fascism" fascism. Fascism fascism.
@mcuban hits this one out of the park. We may not agree on every healthcare policy, but these practical reforms would bring transparency and accountability to drug pricing. Universal healthcare remains the ultimate goal, but these reforms would save money and lives in the meantime. Texas should adopt them, and so should the country.
I'm confused. Trump and Hegseth said in early April that Iran had already been defeated. If the US has already won "a capital-V military victory" (as Hegseth said), why is the US again still attacking Iran 5 months later? And if Iran's military has been "rendered combat ineffective" (as Hegseth also said) how does it retain the capacity to still threaten shipping?
