I'm honestly surprised it happened. I fully expected Republicans to continue to embrace his fraudster ass until the end of time. It's weird to see just how far away they're willing to draw the line, though. Like, it was known from the start that he was a fraud, and they were all onboard anyway.
No, to hell with YOU. The fact that your expulsion was at all contested given the evidence of your flagrant lawlessness should be a damning indictment of Congress itself. They're so used to crooks that they don't see a problem with adding another to their ranks.
I simply don’t understand what everyone is so blind to. It’s like a blazing inferno of falsehood. Trump, Santos, DeSantis, Pelosi, Manchin, Sinema, ad nauseum.
They’re all the same. Different brands, maybe. Different ideological camouflage, but the same. Why is this so hard to see?
Seriously, one of the few remaining platforms they seem to rally around is delegitimizing trans people, fearmongering against drag queens, and censoring any books that acknowledge gay people exist. The Log Cabin Republicans have big Jews for Hitler energy.
Pétanque, a game similar to boules, has been popular here since the French introduced it in the former colony. But children often see the round, metal cluster munitions and mistake them for lost pétanque balls. “Many children pick up bombies thinking they’re toys, we hear this a lot,” says Ket. It’s why awareness and education programmes are as important as the land clearance operations, she adds.
Fucking hell.
Still, aid to clean up the UXOs pales in comparison to the cost of the bombardment – in 2023 dollars, the US spent $16 million every day bombing Laos for nine years. According to Legacies of War, funding to decontaminate now stands at just $45 million per year.
(16)(365)(9) = 52,560 million or 52.56 billion. 0.045/52.56 = 0.086%
It emerged last week that Moscow and Beijing have discussed building an “underwater tunnel” connecting mainland Russia and occupied Crimea, amid mounting Russian fears that the Kerch Bridge, which has been successfully struck twice by Ukraine, remains vulnerable.
China still claims to be neutral here, guess this is just "civil engineering" then.
To be fair, it’s a fairly normal civilian construction contract. As a capitalist, you go/do the things that make money. If that includes building bridges in an active war zone, it doesn’t matter as long as the bill gets footed.
I suspect that China will insist on money down though, which Russia will never agree to (partly because they don’t have it, but also partly because it goes against their political philosophy of always trying to hold all of the cards) so this probably isn’t going to happen.
I really can’t see China being prepared to take Russia’s word for it that they’ll get the correct compensation otherwise.
