💬 "In a resolution adopted on Thursday, the EU Parliament calls for more targeted sanctions against russia’s ʼshadow fleet‘ which allows the country to export crude oil and petroleum products despite the price cap
Stressing that the impact of existing sanctions and the financial and military support to #Ukraine will continue to be undermined as long as the EU imports russian fossil fuels, MEPs urge the EU, its member states to ban all imports of russian fossil fuels including #LNG"

Posting something like "I sure am glad I don't live in the US because I don't have to worry about x, y, and z happening" has the same energy as saying to someone whose loved one just died, "I sure am glad MY loved ones haven't died because if they did here are the things I'd be sad and upset about."
What is your baseline estimate for the population of Ruschia? 83m is the last reliable figure we have from the last reliable census. Ruschia’s emphasis on forcibly transferring 700,000 Ukrainian children into Ruschia suggests its personnel problems are a lot greater than most commentators understand
@lovelylovely It is this and the fact that abortion rights won and Trump won in several states that makes me wonder if Putin managed to steal a win for the orange shit stain. Also, isn't it weird that there is no further mention of those assassination attempts? It's almost like they never happened. Wondering if those were all staged. It does seem weird that we know that both Musk and Trump were in on going convos with Putin and for what purpose? All of this stinks imo.
Is an effort being organized to pack the DC Metro with non-inauguration going riders starting at opening hour on January 20? And is a simultaneous effort being organized to park a car in every available parking space in every lot near the DC Mall?
Perhaps the attendance at the inauguration can be reduced to near zero.
@Urban_Hermit @Daojoan eggs are only used for flu vaccine, since the flu also can infect chickens. The COVID vaccine was made via biochemical reaction, building a mRNA molecule.
The egg shortage during COVID was due to bird flu outbreaks and higher demand and supply chain interruptions
~One year ago today I got profiled on Infowars for my work ruling the media as the head of a robust PsyOp Alliance.
I hope that its new owners quickly get on profiling me again. (Cc: @theonion )
The takes about 2024 that I agree with or that validate my priors are also bullshit.
#Trump won on disinformation validated by horserace journalism that treats facts as points of controversy.
He won on an imaginary depression, an imaginary crime wave and imaginary hordes of undocumented immigrants pouring over the border.
It wasn't Gaza or Dems using pronouns or refusing to say "illegal aliens" or Harris reaching out to Republicans or any of the rest.

All righty. Now we know how this is going to go with Trump. Instead of choosing agency heads and cabinet members who are experts in their fields, Trump is choosing the worst imaginable people. On purpose, obviously. A Director of National Intelligence with no experience in the field of intelligence? A child molester for attorney general? A head of the CIA with no management skills? Okay. I get the message.
These folks learned well from Mussolini, as did Hitler. Sow chaos and fill positions with incompetent loyalists so that government malfunctions. Intentionally crash the government and the people will go for fascism. Easy peasy.
@loathsomecowboy Oh really? Well they all got elected.
And they're not "clowns." They're vile, lethal, calculating participants in a longterm plan to destroy us. And it's been going on for decades. And for decades were called "clowns."
And they may be incompetent fools, but they're in power and will and can irreparably damage our country and democracy.

"I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous amount of fumes and everything." --Donald Trump
