I used to work specific threats to surface transportation. It was fascinating. I got to work with the railroad industry security community group. They didn't like anything that would impact their insurance costs or stock prices so wanted every report to end with "we see no reason why the chlorine train shouldn't be routed through Manhattan" or whatever.

Railroads are profitable...very

The huge problem with the last 20-30 years since 1989 has been the slobbering adherence within political right to the comfort of the notion that capitalism = democracy. That definitely went on for too long wrt China. Made all the more clear as a problem by Xi's reembrace of central control of his State Owned Enterprises. With Russia, too much money crossed too many hands in the West.

lets hope they don't get along

We are going to find out that Aaron Rodgers is doing even worse stuff with public money, aren't we?

The Durham investigation ... what a let down for so many of the dead enders who think Trump is beyond reproach.

for all the "when will they overthrow Putin?" hot takes and suppositions that people make. Just remember Saddam Hussein was in power for a decade+ after having his ass kicked by the US in Desert Storm.

Hardees are the red neck version of the British Public House.

Every kid should have to clean up poop or food at some point in their lives.

Funnier still when you realize that Isabella Rossolini is the daughter of Casablanca star Ingrid Bergman.

Poor fella

The lady can dance and she's very smart

This seems way too optimistic

So, the atrocities and the war crimes....

The Fairfax GOP was once a gentle group of fine folk Then the loonies took over and...well, you know

colleague here in Northern VA says that while walking by the parking lot of a Mclean Little League field (Mclean is one of the gold-plated suburb where a lot of the DC types have their suburban abodes), that he watched Tom Cotton yelling at his 7 or 8 yr old son about lack of effort on the baseball field "Great Santini-style." My daughter's team plays a softball team on Saturday from Mclean. I wonder if we will see other congress people with that team as it rides up in its Bugatti team bus.

very enjoyable

For those who think the War in Ukraine distracts from the true threat from China

And the shit birds who are paid by Moscow to spread their shit...spread more shit Those are the enemies of peace and friends of Putin right there.

I'm in favor of this, if true Reports are going to lag. Propaganda is out there indicating all sorts of big sweeping things that isn't necessarily so. The most dangerous thing is people hearing some good news like this and then asking: "who will be in charge in Russia after the Ukrainians win?" That's like asking after the 1969 moon landings what life on Mars will be like.

Meanwhile, Just ok... I mean I recognize the type. The sort of people who rub elbows with dictators because they got caught with kiddie porn (Scott Ritter) or got fired by a black dude for being a lunatic (Mike Flynn).

I don't think their dog crap candidates are going to get any better.

Reminds that sometimes silence is speaking.

Ukraine twitter today is all about the attack on the electrical grid by Russia
