I raced home yesterday in order to watch US Senate hearings (Homeland Security, Foreign Relations committees) LIVE.
It turns out that Team USA’s ICE queen Kristi does not know what Habeus Corpus is, and Little Marco thinks Donald is making progress ending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine!
Meritocracy!
I next watched Donald talk about plans to build the Golden Dome to protect America from “foreign missile attacks.” SECDEF Pete, who is always entertaining, spoke at the Oval Office briefing.
Z was blah, blah, blah on the sixth anniversary of his presidency, which, has been disappointing, er, thanks to him.
Russia’s invasion in February 2022 has obscured numerous fuck-ups, which include the demolition of the country’s democratic institutions, including parliament, the central bank, law-enforcement agencies and the courts. Pre-invasion scandals including Operation Y, Wagnergate, Oman, etc have mostly been forgotten.
Z’s biggest post-invasion mistake was the soap opera (sacking of AFU Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny) in late 2023/24 (Days 600 to 700), refusal to unite the country, build fall-back fortifications and mobilize new recruits. Those failures will bite us in the ass this fall.
Looking on the bright side, the sun is out and we’re still alive.
