The tariffs are a distraction. Why aren't you talking about Elon Musk taking over the Treasury Department? He stole all our info.

Once again, we're blaming individuals instead of Corporate America for pollution. Okay, yes, we each need to do our best, sure sure sure. I do go to the trouble of separating my trash and placing my recyclables in the corresponding bin. But until companies get it together and start thinking long-term, miss me with that shit.

Ukraine is Russia's Ireland. The depth of Ukrainian culture & history is impossible to displace. I see much partisan warfare in Russia's future. Lots of poisoned cherries in that basket. The Chechens were bought. Ukrainians? I don't think so.

Condemning this racist murderer in Buffalo changes absolutely nothing. Ban assault weapons and 20+ round magazines. Period.
