A perfect time to remember that politics is a farce and that these three great actors who brought that farce to life on our TVs are no longer with us.
One of the best lines of all time.

🚨BOMBSHELL: Jon Ossoff says Trump’s son-in-law is negotiating with PUTIN to sell Russian oil assets to Trump family allies, and they’ve already “poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump family businesses.” The entire Trump family belongs in PRISON! Where is the media??

So, let me get this straight; we spend nearly 5 years supporting Ukraine in its defense against Russia (who attacked Ukraine unprovoked) and now we’re allies with Russia in its attacks against the Ukrainian people. WHY?

thedailybeast.com/airman-kil… #USDemocracy #DemsUnited #DemVoice1 Pete Hegseth sent another airman to his death for an ill conceived stunt at a football game. An AirForce service member who was training to be an air traffic controller died after falling from the rafters of the Alamodome in San Antonio. Why the fuck was an airman training to be an air traffic controller sent to rappel from the 170 feet high rafters of the stadium? This is more proof of Bloody Pete Hegseth’s performative “Warrior Ethos” and “Lethality” bullshit that has turned service members into nothing but bit players in Bloody Petes self aggrandizing stunts at sports stadiums across the nation

Worth reiterating. Hybrid war is not actually war, it's sub-threshold for a reason. And similar discussions were happening in the early Cold War on Britain’s response to Moscow.
Fiona Hill, a former adviser to the US National Security Council, says war with Russia is "already happening" – but Sky's @haynesdeborah challenges what we mean by war, and whether the comparison with Ukraine goes too far.

This is what Jillian Segal is defending. This is what the Albanese government's continued political and diplomatic support facilitates. The IDF covered for a group of thugs who were bashing a woman journalist to death. This is Israeli terrorism - this is why the world loathes them.
“Let me die,” American photojournalist Heidi Levine repeats to journalists Jasper Nathaniel as they try to outrun masked Israeli settlers who attacked her on Friday while she covered the olive harvest in the West Bank village of Abu Falah, near Ramallah. Around 80 settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in the village, AP reported. The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated six people injured in two attacks in Abu Falah. Levine, a freelancer for the Washington Post, told the Committee to Protect Journalists that the settlers knocked her down and kicked her for at least 10 minutes, even after she identified herself as an American journalist. They stole her camera, phone and bag. She was eventually taken to a hospital in Ramallah. "The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat" Levine "nearly to death," Nathaniel wrote, adding that soldiers then shot a Palestinian bystander and aimed their guns at and shoved paramedics trying to treat him. AP photos and circulating videos show Israeli soldiers standing over a wounded Palestinian man after they shot him. Andrey X, an activist also at the scene, said a Palestinian man "saved our lives from the settler-terrorists who attacked the olive harvesters and journalists” armed only with a slingshot.

Trump says under his leadership republicans have created the highest ever poverty numbers Before someone says that’s not what he really meant, he goes on to explain it “poverty is higher than it’s ever been before, by a lot, by a record amount” What the hell is wrong with him?

Repulsive Trump slated by former UK Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind.
Much punchier accusations from Sir Malcolm Rifkind - a former defence and foreign secretary: "I choose my words very carefully. I think this week Donald Trump has shown himself as a person to be repulsive; as a President of the United States to be a disgrace to his own people as well as to his international responsibilities. "We all know his actual reasons for this are a grubby attempt to win a few more votes in the midterms by trying to get oil prices down. "In order to achieve that, he has not only betrayed Ukraine in the middle of a war, fighting for its very existence, but he is also directly - not indirectly - directly responsible for the deaths of many Ukrainians who will not now be protected by the attempts that have been successfully made using intelligence provided indirectly by the United States." xitter.cf/breeallegretti/status/…

Trump signed an executive order on Friday night exempting Russia from new sanctions legislation that Congress passed last month, offering an economic lifeline to Russian President Vladimir V. Putin as the United States turns to Russia for help lowering gas prices. #TREASON

“The job is not done. There is still a mountain to climb. The greatest crime of this century is still being committed in Gaza, and Western governments, Australia among them, remain complicit … But take encouragement from what the movement has achieved.”

The Rabbi Dov Lior, the main rabbi of Ben-Gvir's party and of the Hilltop Youth has released a ruling explaining why it is not only legal to steal olives from Palestinians, but also a good thing. He writes: Harvesting olives in the Holy Land is entirely permitted, and it even carries an added virtue, given the security dangers posed by Arabs approaching the Jewish communities and settlement points." "Jews are permitted to harvest the olives even in areas far from the Jewish communities, in order to publicly display our ownership of the Land, and in doing so they fulfill the commandment of conquering the Land." The Jewish religion is being weaponized by our rabbis to steal land and agricultural products from the true indigenous owners of the land.

In Cold War terms underselling the Navy - it was 50 plus frigates and destroyers alone, and 30 plus submarines, a commando brigade, amphibious, fleet auxiliary and hydrographic flotillas, dozens of mine warfare vessels and patrol ships plus carriers with jets the Navy actually owned, and more. Overselling today - at most six major surface vessels available at any one time. Zero operational submarines. RFA, amphib forces, hydrography and mine warfare forces all but gone, no RMs commando brigade, jets owned by RAF, and the F-35B is rarely at sea and largely toothless. Patrol ships about to be reduced even further. But, otherwise spot on 🤕
👇More voices calling for upgrading our defence posture- but will Government listen? 👉During the Cold War: we could field 5 Divisions, over 50 war ships and 36 air squadrons. 👉Today : We could just muster 1 division, a dozen warships and just 6 air squadrons. To compound matters - we have little homeland and greyzone resilience and have failed to keep up with the changing characteristics of warfare. As the threat picture deteriorates- when will we wake up?

A number of people have asked why Trump has suddenly torn the mask off and gone fully pro-Putin. My guess: he knows the GOP is hosed in the mid-terms, and he needs full Russian support to help shape public opinion that it was rigged, and thence to overturn the results.
