Donald Trump’s drive to secure peace in Ukraine must not let Vladimir Putin off the hook for war crimes committed by Russian forces, a top EU official has warned, effectively setting a new red line for a deal. In an interview with POLITICO, Michael McGrath, the European commissioner for justice and democracy, said negotiators must ensure the push for a ceasefire does not result in Russia escaping prosecution. His comments reflect concerns widely held in European capitals that the original American blueprint for a deal included the promise of a “full amnesty for actions committed during the war,” alongside plans to reintegrate Russia into the world economy. https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-war-crimes-volodymyr-zelenskyy-ukraine/

If those Trump-image coins come to pass, I will never use them. The unmitigated gall!

I really hope SCOTUS reigns in IEPA.

I love watching that guy. Thanks for the link!

@wtg said in Conflicted: The father told Pioneer Press he supports Trump “in many ways,” but he doesn’t support the massive sweep of people based on their ethnicity. As a Trump supporter, he's had to overlook a magnitude of egregious behavior that calls into question his judgement, and dare I say, morals. How do these people turn a blind eye to the despicable things the painted one has said and done is beyond me.

Just a heads up about deleted posts... If you delete one of your posts, you (the original author) are still able to see the deleted text and it may look like the post is not gone. If you look carefully you'll see that the text is greyed out. Other posters simply see "This post has been deleted!"

I weaned myself off caffeine a dozen years ago after frightening chest pain that I interpreted as a heart attack, but tests proved it was something like GERD. I had been drinking lots of tea daily. Then I went into strictly herbal teas for a long time. I discovered that coffee didn’t cause a bad reaction, so I have one or two cups a day. I seem to be fine.

@Mik Thanks. Now we know how to hit 98!!

@Daniel Your story of the trike accident really shook me. It’s a miracle you came through it so well, thanks to your gymnastics training. I should learn how to fall since I’ve had two serious bike accidents — i.e. resulting in broken bones. Anyway, if the chain falls off a front chain wheel — this is assuming the bike has a rear derailleur, but maybe it works on others too — you position your stick-tool above the lower run of the chain and drag it forward and around the chain wheel (counterclockwise). The stick keeps your hand away from the chain wheel teeth that could pinch you. The spring in the derailleur allows slack in the chain that facilitates this maneuver. I’ve often wanted to show this trick to some poor kid whose chain had fallen off and dreaded a long walk home.

The prints are beautiful! Senior theses are printed on one page with its opposite left blank, as well. Lol.

@AndyD said in About that White House ballroom and the East Wing: Corporate Trump I'm afraid. His taste appears to be extreme 'new money'. I guess you had to be there but in '80's New York there were a group of new money families who were venerated to the nth degree. Reagan came into office and the country was inundated with the myth of getting what you earned no matter who you were or how you started. And, likewise, being to blame for any lack of opportunity or misfortune you might suffer. None of these families lasted very long as others have in the past. Note Trump's multiple bankruptcies. Of course, Trump got nowhere on his own merits. He grew up in an upper-middle class neighborhood in Queens. You can hear his Queens accent, but any notion of class clearly went over his head.

I like "Magtard", Jon.. It need to be widely applied.
