He will end the war on his first day? The lying pile of shit is only interested in more grift and adding felons to his pardons. How could thinking people elect this human garbage? Oh right, those who voted for this felon do not think.
The reason the sales at the Kennedy Center might be down is simply because of the schlocky and stale offerings. Tickets are a cultural investment for audiences (above and below "The Dress Circle") and consumers look for value in their ticket purchases.
Ideally, the people who go through all the steps to claim their “DOGE refund” are walking into a trap that’s really forcible cult deprogramming. Because anyone who goes after this refund is clearly high priority, desperately in need of it.
No, this isn't "complicated". Ukranian children were KIDNAPPED! They weren't taken or rescued. They were kidnapped. Apparently, we have no problem using that word when Palestinians do it, but when Putin kidnaps children, the press gets all soft about it. Cathy, you wrote over 500 words on the topic and you didn't use the term, even once. Or how about we call them what they actually are: HOSTAGES.
There are Russian novels and Russian music that I greatly appreciate. Beyond that, Russia has long struck me as an unappealing culture - and not just because it was under a brutal communist dictatorship when I started paying attention.
Some people on the right say that the authentic Russian civilization has reemerged, free at last from godless leftism. They claim that a Eurasian country openly hostile to the West is somehow the last redoubt of "Western civilization" and that Putin is valiantly defending Christianity and tradition from the ravages of a woke secular liberal imperium.
But what is at the heart of this sacred "Russian civilization"? There's a veneer of official religiosity - though evidently not all that much religious commitment across the population. There are anti-LGBT policies, which obviously ranks high in the priorities of the pro-Russia ideologues. There is also gratuitous cruelty in Russian foreign and domestic policy - which doesn't appear to offend the American far right. There's the unabashed presumption of having a natural right and destiny to subjugate smaller neighbors and keep expanding the empire without limit. And there's the spectacular greed and corruption of Putin and the oligarchs.
That is what the American apologists for Russia are defending.
The in your face lies about Ukrainian kids by Putin's mouthpiece are reminiscent of the insolent prevarications of the Soviets. More disturbing, they are in tone and in substance indistinguishable from the Trump Regime's daily outpourings.
I recall scholars of Russia arguing that the Soviet era was not such a radical break from the Russian past as some believed, and that core elements of the Russian governing tradition had basically taken on a new guise - including the aggressive imperialism.
Likewise, modern Russia has not shed all the bad stuff from its commie past. By some analyses, one of the main things that happened in the 1990s was that the KGB defeated the Communist Party in the long struggle for dominance. At the same time, post-Soviet Russia still has some of the unpleasant characteristics of imperial Russia.
Winred and all of their affiliates have my number and I get at least 10 scam messages everyday and there’s no way to stop them. The messages tend to be threatening and overall creepy.
My personal MAGA just posted a picture of an article proclaiming outrage that Obama was paid $18 million in consulting fees by the Biden Administration. It was from The Dunning-Kruger Times.
The Kennedy Center for the Arts is just another example of Trump business failings and proves Rick Wilson's point that everything Trump touches dies. It is the Midas touch only in reverse. It is a very small piece of an enormous task for the next president to reverse and restore. It will be on the level of FDR in the thirties.

Channeling my inner JVL, don't discourage those MAGA dupes from responding to that WAF scam. The more who are fleeced the better.
Unless it’s your own mother.
The Ukrainians have lost 400,000 fighting for their liberty. The Russians have lost a million fighting for Putin's vanity.
Nicely put. Still, far, far too many on either side.
True, especially considering the war never should have happened.
From now on please refer to the TikTok situation as the "TACO TikTok Ban".
Love your moniker. Great film as well. Great comment.
Brilliant!

So grateful that you are keeping alive the story of the mass kidnappings of children!

Excellent column. Well worth my dues/contribution.
I wonder if part of Elon's plan to rebuild his and the Tesla brand will be to try and tear down trump and the GOP?
Plan? Elon?
I wonder if his board will ask him to sell Tesla.
To the Chinese?
His ego is too big to sell!

Well, if it's a scam you can be sure that the MAGA rubes will fall for it.

Dunning-Kruger Times - we LIVE in Dunning-Kruger times.
I just Googled, took me a whole 20 seconds to find out that it's satire.
Their media has them so cued to outrage that it’s an instant response.

I'm thinking something akin to the reconstruction of Germany after 1945, hopefully without the rubble.
I doubt poor Mr Musk was referencing his own corporate pork when referring to the BBB.
Yeah, I'd like to slash that pork to the bone.
