In response Zelensky said Ukraine can strengthen defenses and act preventively against threats from Russian territory and Belarus’s leadership. He said Minsk must feel real consequences will follow if aggressive actions target Ukraine or Ukrainians from Belarusian territory. #Ukraine

More crimes from the most corrupt criminal in American history Trump’s “weaponization fund” and ban on future IRS audits is his latest impeachable offense: using the machinery of government and billions in taxpayer dollars to reward allies, pay off insurrectionists, and shield himself, his family, and associates from accountability. This is exactly the kind of corruption and abuse of public trust the Framers feared most. Impeach now.
Three times in the past year Articles of Impeachment have been introduced by Democratic members of #congress, and are being blocked by fascist Mike Johnson. Epstein-Republicans go along with Trump's crimes.

MAN I haven't been on Qoto in ages, but my usual Friendica instance has been down for quite some time tonight, and y'all know I prefer Friendica.
I just wanna post about tonight's #StephenColbert show, the next-to-last final show. Well, I do mean a commercial that showed, actually...
I don't know how old the script writer is for General Insurance ads, but that thing referenced a musical stage play that dates back to the 1920s...so how the hell did the writer figured the reference would ring any bells today???
Shaq was in the ad, standing next to a humongous Transformer type gigantic robot who broke out in song: "My Hero". That, friends & neighbors, is a song from "Chocolate Soldier". I know this because I'm familiar with a movie spoof of it made starring Nelson Eddy & Rise Stevens, of the same name, and the song was sung in that too.
And it's a rare person today that knows who the hell Nelson Eddy is.
There's more where those came from, @Taweret@timeloop.cafe
I'm just astonished that I'm required to be a Buddhist to participate in #Monsterdon
