HOLY SHIT, THIS IS THE MAKING OF WWIII: Just two months ago, Putin warned that NATO would face direct war with Russia if Ukraine used long-range Western missiles to strike Russian territory. Fast forward to todayโ€”President Biden has officially greenlit Ukraine to do exactly that with U.S.-supplied missiles. Buckle up.

National Review is calling it out: "The idea that the Speaker of the House would team up with the president to sideline the Senateโ€™s constitutional authority and turn Congress into a lapdog for the executive branch should infuriate every single member of Congress." Whereโ€™s the outrage?

The Dictatorโ€™s Pentagon โ€” a five-sided takeover
โ€œThere are five key areas that authoritarians want to control when they attempt to decapitate a democratic state, authoritarian expert and author Timothy Snyder writes: health, law, administration, defense and intelligence. And in each of these arenas, the goal is to consolidate power, create chaos โ€” and yes, even death.โ€ nj.com/politics/2024/11/is-tโ€ฆ

Iโ€™ve heard pundits on various media channels asserting today that Putin will now escalate. please explain to us what new Russian measures you think Putin will now take. Genuinely curious. Not a rhetorical question. Asking for a โ€œfriendโ€ being asked on tv the same .

Prediction: Gaetz will withdraw his name from consideration & blame it on a Democratic witch hunt (unless Trump makes good on his recess appt threat, but that would require the Senate to go out of session). When he does, remember that even the GOP couldn't stomach Gaetz as AG.
More than half of Senate Republicans say Matt Gaetz won't be confirmed as AG Senators want to see the House Ethics report on Gaetz, where overnight an attorney told @NBCNews their client told the panel they witnessed Gaetz having sex with a minor Our latest on @TODAYshow

We've now reached the "cover for child rape in exchange for earthly power" phase of Mike Johnson's Christianity.
Speaker Mike Johnson said he'll ask the House Ethics Committee not to release a potentially damaging report on the conduct of former Rep. Matt Gaetz, President-elect Trump's attorney general nominee. trib.al/h85i4yn

Muskโ€™s odd obsession with attacking beleaguered Ukraine leads to another question now that heโ€™s become the unelected president. Aside from Putin, does he speak regularly with any other foreign leaders who see the US as an enemy? He has many interests in China, for example.
Elon completely dismissing Ukrainian agency. The U.S. canโ€™t force Ukraine to do anything. They can make the situation for Ukraine significantly harder, but at the end of the day it is Ukraineโ€™s decision.
