To keep Ukraine safe from its autocratic neighbor, we forced it into a situation where it would be at war, and now it's destroying it's own precarious and corrupt democracy while millions are displaced and hundreds of thousands die and this is the sane, preferable outcome to Russian oligarchs givin...

Oof. The Biden campaign is really leaning into the abortion issue.

What I don't get is, how does Israel benefit from that? I mean the news organisations have for months been pointing out how much of a powder keg the whole region is and how many powers have it out for Israel. Israel doesn't; Netanyahu does. The instant the war's over, he loses an election and goes ...

I would ask what business of Belarus' a domestic crime committed in Russia is, but we all know the answer.

Last I heard, Kenya was planning to provide peacekeeping forces, though no timeline was set last I knew.

I wouldn't be surprised if Biden and his administration lash out at Netanyahu out of sheer anger and desperation. Netanyahu isn't looking to give Biden much of a choice in the matter. He's simply not behaving as an ally; even if Israel is, Bibi is not. His government has been flagrantly ignoring to...

Translation; Netanyahu annoying the Haredim like this risks blowing his majority and forcing an election he seems doomed to lose. That might be the idea. It gives him, and his political party, a way out of the war, while leaving someone else to have to clean up the mess. But also lands Netanyahu wi...

Daesh has been vowing to strike Russia for years because they propped up Assad and thus provided major contribution to the defeat of their Caliphate.

Speaker Johnson, in apparent reaction to Senator Schumer's statement last week, has invited Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress, consulting with neither the Senate nor the White House. No date has been set, and it will be difficult to convene a joint session without the cooperation of the Senate....

Judge Cannon considers jury instructions requiring a not guilty verdict. Cannon tells lawyers to weigh if Trump conduct can’t be reviewed by courts In classified documents case, legal arguments over jury instructions seem to take precedence over numerous other pretrial issues By Devlin Barrett Marc...

My wife was watching something last night that said the real reason the US wants to ban TikTok is some rich asshole wants to own it, can't, so he's trying to get the government to ban it to force a sale. No idea if that's true. I mean, Steve Mnuchin and Bobby Kotick are both hovering over this like...

As to director liability/phoenixing laws/whatever you want to call it, apparently it can happen at least in New York; see what has recently happened to Donald Trump in the criminal fraud case (i.e. he is personally banned from operating any real estate business in New York whether it's the Trump Org...

Well, good luck to them, they're going to need it. Wagner almost made it, but the Russians doubtlessly expect it from these guys where they didn't with Prigozhin.

From what's been reported, the bill will ban the app from U.S. based app stores. I don't know if it will also IP block existing installations from the United States but it didn't sound like it. In any case, a bunch of Senators want to hold hearings before moving on the bill, so it isn't going to pas...

Not sure what spell the Cleric is using but Sonny is back to normal again. Keep that eye on the nasty dragon, Sonny!

I don't know. Why does that matter? So, background, I am an election worker in the United States. I know whereof I speak when I say that an election clerk can find out whether or not any given person in their jurisdiction has voted with a few keystrokes. This information is available to the state a...

Russians sent ‘loyalty app’ to show they’ve voted in ‘task set by boss Vladimir Putin’ You know, this would be a useful type of App in most countries. Polls open, you put in your postal code or whatever, and it goes 'you can vote at the following places....' However, as it's being used by Russia, i...

Not for much longer at this rate.

After publicly opposing and attacking Trump for months and then refusing to endorse him, we'll see if the Republican base will ever elect her for anything again.

And DC! And pointedly declined to endorse Trump in her suspension announcement.

Not much, because everyone knows that if Russia wants peace it can have it as easily as withdrawing across the border.

Meanwhile, the Black Sea Fleet continues to take a beating.
