Noblesville, Ukraine

Authentic for men

Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov and Congresswoman Victoria Spartz

The day before yesterday, we proposed a meeting between lawmakers Mariana Bezuhla and Victoria Spartz¹.

Minutes, maybe hours, later Ukraine’s Ex-Minister of Economy, Trade and Agriculture Timofiy Mylovanov – who continues to outperform even the sweaty little fuckpigs working for the President’s Office — wrote this:

“Victoria is a lying cynical political animal that is using Ukraine for hype and re-election,” Timofiy Mylovanov said on Facebook on June 12, 2022

The ninth week of running during the ninth year of the war.

On the final flight of stairs this morning, my thoughts turned to Mylovanov, who, to my amazement, says he works for the President’s Office.

The last time I saw Tim in person was last summer before the war. He was loitering on the sidewalk in front of Gulliver Mall astral planing, maybe, I thought, or tripping, or both. Someone punched him in the face later that evening. Tim is Exhibit A for Tiger Team’s assessment of Ukraine’s capacity to absorb billions of dollars worth of assistance.

Tim reminds me of operation y² and a lousy pizza recipe³.
