.@jonstewart weighs in on Trump's surreal "I Had It Cleaned" speech at The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool

it’s crazy that the Right had two years to do literally whatever they wanted and they spent it enriching themselves, bombing iran, and protecting pedophiles

'Goodbyeee', the final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth, was originally broadcast on this day in 1989.

I often point out that, in my opinion, it is a major mistake for the West to keep ignoring the problem of Russian propaganda.
They have paid influencers, on both the far left and far right, supported by armies of bots. They devide societies and influence elections. It urgently needs countermeasures.

You know things are bad when Ukrainian families from Kyiv are begging the citizens of the United States to vote Blue in the Midterms to save their lives because they know that Trump is a Dictator that stands with Russia and cares nothing about them. They say this isn’t who America is and I think most of us agree with them.

STANOVANJA: Napaka, ki jo naredijo mnogi vključno z Evropsko Komisijo je, da navajajo odstotek gospodinjstev v javnih / neprofitnih najemih v celotnem stanovanjskem fondu ob tem pa ne upoštevajo deleža gospodinjstev z lastniškim stanovanjem.
Npr. Hrvaška ima 90% delež gospodinjstev z lastniškim stanovanjem. Hkrati pa 1.3% v javnih najemnih stanovanjih. Avstrija ima, po drugi strani 47% gospodinjstev z lastnim domom in 24% v javnih najemnih stanovanjih.
Če poenostavimo (grobo in čez palec, ampak dovolj nazorno!) je v Avstriji “stanovanjsko varnih” 47%+24%=71% gospodinjstev, na Hrvaškem pa 90%+1.3%=91.3% gospodinjstev. Povedano drugače: število javnih najemnih stanovanj ni merilo stanovanjske varnosti, ampak merilo skrajno levičarske ideologije, ki jo razumljivo financirajo abonenti na velike državne projekte gradnje stanovanj.

Every US plan is a Russian plan with a little blood money tossed in for Trump & Co. Rewarding an invading terror state only encourages more terror and invasions. If Russia wants to sell gas, it can get the hell out of Ukraine. If Europe wants that gas, win the war first.
The U.S. proposal: a quick resumption of Russian natural-gas sales to Europe via Ukrainian pipelines, with an American company acting as an intermediary and money going to an escrow account. Our scoop. wsj.com/world/europe/u-s-pus…

Milanu Stepišniku na grobu ne moremo prižgati svečke ali na križu prebrati datuma smrti. Ker nima groba. Predvojni olimpijec, ing kemije, je po 2. sv. v. postal direktor Impola v Sl Bistrici. Oblast ga je 1947 aretirala (pretveza sabotaže) in na 1. dach. procesu obsodila na smrt.

No shit.
Tomorrow China would send troops without insignia into Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, and Blagoveshchensk, and suddenly these regions would develop an overwhelming desire to exercise their “right to self-determination.”
They’d even hold sham “referendums” on tree stumps for Chinese state TV, suddenly discover that they’d always been Chinese and want to reunite with the Middle Kingdom.
I have no doubt this would have your wholehearted support, given how principled and universalist we are about these things.

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

Nothing says "the media manufactured the Russia hoax" than going on a hunting trip with one Russian oligarch right after another Russian oligarch had paid for your wedding.
The trip highlights the remarkable relationship between a son of the US president and a tycoon with a criminal record who has close ties to Vladimir Putin’s personal security service. Intelligence experts say such connections are ripe for manipulation. ft.trib.al/p0LBRYI

This chart is simply mind-blowing. It’s a perfect visualization of the German “green” energy transition though. Let’s take a look.
1. Germany increased its installed energy generation capacity since 2000 by a whopping 120%, yet German electricity generation fell by 13%. Isn’t that a paradox? The answer is simple, renewables do not generate electricity constantly, as required for an industrial nation, so they need parallel energy-generating infrastructure, e.g., gas. That’s the main reason countries that moved to renewables, like Germany or the UK, have the highest energy prices for industry and households.
2. Based on fairly conservative estimates, Germany has spent about €400 billion on this “green” energy transition, an eye-watering amount.
3. Higher energy prices have made German energy-intensive industries uncompetitive. Industrial production imploded, and countless well-paid jobs disappeared. This explains the reduction in energy demand and generation.
4. By shutting clean nuclear plants while keeping coal and gas, German energy production generates about 10 times more emissions than France’s. You read that right: 10 times more. If Germany had switched off coal power plants first instead of nuclear, by now it would have avoided CO2 emissions equivalent to Berlin’s emissions over almost a century. Keep that in mind next time you chew on a paper drinking straw.
5. Worse still, production moved from Germany to Asia, where the same products generate far more emissions in manufacturing and shipping. A Chinese-built car shipped to Europe causes about 70% more emissions than one built in Germany, cement production causes twice as many.
Honestly, can you name a bigger absurdity than the German “green” energy transition? They spent a fortune to ruin their industry and hurt the climate badly. Isn’t it hilarious that German greens seriously claim other countries will follow the German way? In which parallel universe do these people live?

Same old story. Free speech is essential until they control the platforms. There’s too much billionaire money in politics until it’s their money. Too much debt until they’re in charge of spending. The Dems are too soft on defense until it’s time to kiss Putin’s ass.
