Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."

This isn't the end of WWII. Europe isn't in ruins, russia is not a power that has any say in anything and the USA is not taken seriously bc Trump is an unreliable moron.
The idea of Trump and Putin sitting down to decide Europe’s fate is so far from reality that I half expect dragons to appear next.

For last 24 hours I’ve seen footage of horrific scenes from Gaza, just absolute human misery. Yet..it’s not there on any news outlet’s home pages, not discussed on our witless political shows. We’re just going to ignore it? Is that the plan?

Let this sink in: ICE agents reportedly blocked the emergency entrance of a Los Angeles hospital for TWO HOURS, forcing ambulances carrying people who needed emergency care to go elsewhere.
This isn’t law enforcement. This is a reckless abuse of power that put innocent people’s lives at risk.
An ambulance entrance is not a political battleground. A hospital emergency room is not an immigration checkpoint.
And federal agents do not get to hold an entire community’s access to emergency medical care hostage.
Imagine being in an ambulance, fighting for your life, only to be diverted because federal agents decided their operation mattered more than emergency access.
Where is the humanity? Where is the accountability? And where is the line that these agents are no longer allowed to cross?
You cannot claim to be protecting America while putting Americans’ lives in danger.
This isn’t making America great. It’s making America cruel. And anyone defending this should be ashamed.

The images of kids submerged in freezing floodwater, in flimsy tents that won't survive another winter, make me SICK.
I think of Primo Levi’s words that every European learns by heart at school - only to forget when entering politics or diplomacy.
The shame of our time.

There is a disturbing new development in the story surrounding the Women’s International Club in Canberra.
Following the decision to admit Irina Petrakova, wife of the Russian Ambassador, three members of the diplomatic community, the wives of the Ambassadors of Ukraine, Italy and Estonia, chose to withdraw from the Club in protest.
My wife, Liana, was among them.
At the Club’s recent Annual General Meeting, its President, Sandie Kaine, referred to the three women as “bigots”.
I am particularly appalled by this development given the extraordinary solidarity and support that Australia and the Australian people have shown Ukraine throughout Russia’s full-scale invasion, including among the WIC’s members. Such a dismissive attitude of the President of the Club towards the personal pain and principled position of those directly affected by this war is deeply disappointing.
Let me be very clear: refusing to socialise with a representative of Russia, which is waging a genocidal war against Ukraine is not bigotry. It is a matter of conscience, dignity and solidarity with the victims of that aggression.

BBC CHIEF LORD HALL
It has been apparent for years, that the BBC did not pursue an impartial path, on Brexit.
To compound matters, it has subsequently allowed Farage to appear on BBC programmes, in a totally unbalanced number of times. In fact it has made a mockery of its previous reputation, as a national “treasure” sponsored by the Nation.
NATIONAL DISGRACE, would now be a better description.
And @lisanandy has been a totally ineffective Minister in charge of Media. Indeed one could be forgiven for thinking she didn’t exist.
@andyburnham @cabinetofficeuk @DCMS
After the referendum, the BBC chief Lord Hall ordered the BBC to treat Brexit as a done deal, a decision which all but wholly excluded Remainer opinion from the BBC for over 2 years, thus grossly biasing the debate. It was a grotesque abuse of democracy.

Brexit was won by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. This was just one of them.

Yksi kansalaisaloitteemme perusteluista.
Kuparia tarvitaan tykistöammuksiin - arviolta 0,5 kg / ammus. Viron tiedustelun mukaan Venäjä tuotti vuonna 2025 n. 7 miljoonaa ammusta, kranaattia ja rakettia.
Venäjä tarvitsee siis miljoonia kiloja kuparia vuodessa. Suomesta vietiin Venäjälle 100 000 t kuparisakkaa vuosina 2022-2025.

BREAKING: YES! A federal judge drops the HAMMER on Trump and orders him to be deposed for his $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC over alleged defamation.
This is the LAST thing in the world he wants...
U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett has ruled that Trump must be deposed by the BBC's attorneys — which, it should be noted, are some of the best-paid, most incisive, ruthless lawyers in the business — by December 11th. Given Trump's worsening dementia and pathological penchant for lying, it's safe to presume that they will tear him apart.
If Trump refuses to be deposed by the deadline, he risks forfeiting the entire lawsuit. He was originally supposed to sit for the deposition on October 16th, but his attorneys informed the BBC that he was "no longer available" because he had to tend "other matters of national importance." Translation: He was scared.
The suit in question revolves around patently absurd allegations of defamation stemming from the editing of a documentary about Trump's fascist efforts to overturn the 2020 election after he lost to Joe Biden. The case is clearly meritless, but Trump was hoping to use the powers of the presidency to harass and intimidate the BBC into agreeing to a settlement, like he has with other outlets. Thankfully, they're standing firm.
Please ❤️ and share if you stand with the BBC!

President Zelenskyy’s comment on US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s remarks that the war in Ukraine is at a "strategic stalemate" and that there are now "no prospects for a negotiated settlement":
"You cannot negotiate future economic projects with Russians on the one hand and, on the other, claim that we are in some kind of diplomatic stalemate. We are not in a diplomatic stalemate.
Shut down Russia’s entire economy. Shut Russia's mouth. Stop feeding them through your sales. Impose sanctions on their weapons.
Open Starlink for Ukraine. You opened it when responding to Iran, after all. Everything worked there. Israel completely controlled the skies over Iran. So when you need it to work, it works.
It costs them nothing to help Ukraine. And I said quite frankly: help us protect our skies and gain dominance there.
Then Putin will sit down at the negotiating table. Why? Because he will lose everything. In two or three months, he will lose everything.
And instead, we are waiting for the Chinese to develop an equivalent and hand it over to Russians.
This is not a stalemate - this is called a lack of will."
"Right now, there don’t seem to be prospects of a negotiated settlement of the war in Ukraine. But the US is prepared to play whatever role we can in making that happen. It would be good for Russia and Ukraine, but so far, it’s proving elusive." - US Secretary of State Marco Rubio
In an interview with the Greek outlet Kathimerini, Rubio described the war in Ukraine as a "strategic stalemate" that can be overcome in only two ways: through negotiations or through escalation that goes beyond the original conflict.
Rubio said that, at present, there are no prospects for resolving the war through negotiations. According to him, Russia continues to insist on full control over Donbas, while for Ukraine "that condition is simply unacceptable."
"A diplomatic solution has eluded us, but we are prepared, if we can play a constructive role, to make it happen.
In the meantime, we watch with great concern as escalation could happen. Just yesterday, some ships were attacked in the Black Sea through a coordinated drone attack. We’re worried about a sabotage operation in a neighboring country that can spiral out of control.
And, obviously, there are clear indications that Russia will use the upcoming winter as something they want to use to destroy what remains of the electric grid in Ukraine and force them into capitulation.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has grown more effective in its ability to conduct long-range strikes deep into Russia.
So, we share the same concern. The whole world is going about this thing like something that could escalate and perhaps become a broader conflict. So, we stand prepared to facilitate and continue to explore any opportunity for a negotiated settlement," Rubio said.

Garcia: So, to be clear, we have a president that is $2 billion richer just from this last year. We have a son whose wedding is being paid for by rich Russians and oligarchs that have connections to Putin. We have Jared Kushner, who got $2 billion for his investment firm from the Saudis while also doing diplomacy in the Middle East.
We have the Kushners who are trying to buy private islands and selling all sorts of merchandise that’s being promoted, oftentimes through government resources. We also have, of course, this insane amount of stock trading that the president himself is doing to enrich himself and his family.
And, of course, the sons sitting on boards of private companies that are then getting contracts from the federal government. The amount of corruption is unprecedented. And not only are they lining their pockets, they’re stealing the wealth of hardworking Americans, they’re stealing the hard-earned labor and wealth of working-class people, and then funneling that money to themselves and to the rich donors and large corporations and CEOs across this country.
As they get richer, costs go up for the American people. And we know that Republicans in the House and in the Senate are complicit by not calling out this corruption.

Trump: "Mr. Zelenskyy has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia, because he's causing a shortage of diesel fuel. This isn't done by the Middle East, this is done by what's happening with Russia and Ukraine."
You morally bankrupt, victim-blaming narcissist, RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE! We have been defending ourselves against a genocidal invasion for almost 5 years in a fight where everyone gave us a week, and you find nothing better to do than blame us for a crisis of your own making?!
What’s worse, Russia’s war in Ukraine would have become unsustainable by now if your poorly planned endeavor in Iran hadn't fed russia massive amounts of oil revenue. You threw our lives to the wind! Because you can't plan your own operations, and instead of fixing the situation somewhat with air defense, you blame us for the very crisis you created at our expense!
