    Oklahoma is not OK

    The standards also require teaching about Clinton's impeachment, but zero mention of either of Trump's.

    Maybe they need a new chandelier in the Mar-a-Logo welcome lobby?

    I feel like the mineral deal is more PR than anything. Give Trump a "win" so he doesn't spitefully pull US support (more than he already has). The United States can't extract shit from an active war zone, so none of this will matter until the war is concluded, and it's likely that Trump will be gone or dead by then, and Ukraine can renegotiate with a (hopefully) apologetic America.

    I also think that it's not like Ukraine is just giving it away like the initial ask... this way, it seems like they're helping to pay for or offset the military aid they're getting. It'd be interesting to know what kind of margins are in that 50/50 deal.

    It is my understanding the location of the rare mineral sites are mostly in Russian controlled areas of Ukraine. So if the US wants access to the minerals we had better make sure Ukraine does not give up the land.

    You'd be forgiven for thinking this armored column was rolling through Tikrit, but that's actually Irvine. Federal agents on their way to execute an arrest warrant for the crime of... posting flyers with the identities of ICE agents and warning locals to beware.

    It does sound like they immediately resumed US-assisted drone strikes. Brutal way to go about something like this, but at least it has a positive result. For now, anyway.

    No worries... they're caused by chemtrails, and RFK is now committing to eliminating them, so it'll all work out.

    You guys are going to start getting Medieval-era viruses soon. Don’t be surprised if Typhoid makes a comeback.

    It sounds like regarding the trade talks with Japan that Trump is going to learn "The Art of the Deal" only when you do not hold all the cards.

    Our turn today to see if we're still members of the human race or have leapt into the vote for a fruit cake club. Australian Federal election has started.

    Scathing decision on the Perkins Coie case. Judge compares Trump to Jack Cade from Henry VI, adds a whole footnote shitting on the law firms who didn't sue, and ultimately rules the executive order an unconstitutional violation of the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments (and in multiple ways for each).

    Good luck. Heard it is going to be like ours. Hope your left wing wins. Keep us updated.

    The left wing party crushed the right wing party. Almost the same thing that happened in Canada happened in Australia. Even the right wing leader is projected to lose his seat and be out of government.
    From an outside observer, the right wing party ran a horrible campaign. They had a few really key errors and the Trump effect didn't help, but they really didn't give a good reason to vote them into power.

    My new country is going well.
