Are his politics problematic or what’s the deal here?

no idea about his politics, but he’s a narcissist who thinks he is above the law.

Hmm. It’s almost like TV personalities don’t make the best presidents? Who knew!

I think baddis was asking about the other guy, btw.

Twitter seems remarkably free of Russian trolls for the first time since 2015 or so.

twitter fully blocked in russia. seems to be a combination of internal censors, and twitter denying signups from russia right now

That thread had a good Jeet post about the right wing admiration for Putin as either anti liberal or as a white nation

Republicans: We like that Putin is a fascist, anti-liberal defender of white superiority.

Republicans : We also like the Ukrainian people are willing to carry around killing machines to defend their freedom from the fascist, anti-liberal invaders.

I was pretty surprised by the last two days of market gains considering how likely it was that the SWIFT domino was gonna fall.

He’s not a deplorable. He’s more in line with the current center-right government in the CR.

But like VoteForSocialists said, he’d a narcissistic prick.

heroes seem to like javelins.
