Rachel Campos Duffy, a former reality television personality who is now a baby factory and Fox couch decoration claims Tuesday morning that the United States “provoked” Vladimir Putin and Russia to invade Ukraine by Ukraine considering membership in NATO, ’cause Fox is now the official apologist for autocrats.  Campos, the wife of former Congressman and another reality television alumnus Sean Duffy, the father of her nine children.

And shockingly, Brian Kilmeade is the voice of reason in this clip.

Russian federal prosecutors are seeking a 13-year prison sentence extension for Alexei Navalny, the popular Russian opposition leader who Putin tried to poison and who is now serving a 30 months prison sentence, Reuters said.

Imprisoned in a prison camp outside Moscow, Navalny was an unusually strong competitor for Putin in the previous presidential election, so much so that the Kremlin drummed up false charges prior to the last election to get him out of the way.  These charges claim fraud and contempt of court charges.

“We’ve been saying that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin wants to keep Navalny in prison forever. The upcoming sentence has nothing to do with the law,” Navalny’s spokeswoman, Kira Yarmysh, wrote on Twitter.  “Thirteen years for a fabricated case, for fake ‘victims’, for witnesses who had testified under pressure and then publicly denounced their testimonies in court.”

The Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Poland: “Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the National Security and Defense Committee Jarosław Kaczyński together with Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Petr Fiala and Prime Minister of Slovenia Janez Janša are going to Kyiv today as representatives of the European Council to meet with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmyhal… The visit is organized in consultation with the President of the European Council Charles Michel and the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. The purpose of the visit is to confirm the unequivocal support of the entire European Union for the sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. The aim of this visit is also to present a broad package of support for the Ukraine and Ukrainians. International community has been informed about the visit by international organizations, i.a. the UN.”

“Time Warner, the owner of Fake News CNN, has just announced that they will be terminating a very popular and wonderful news network (OAN). Between heavily indebted Time Warner, and Radical Left Comcast, which runs Xfinity, there is a virtual monopoly on news, thereby making what you hear from the LameStream Media largely FAKE, hence the name FAKE NEWS! I believe the people of this Country should protest the decision to eliminate OAN, a very important voice. Likewise, Comcast is terrible and expensive. Let them know that you’re sick and tired of FAKE NEWS! In this modern age of technology, they are no longer necessary. Demand that OAN be allowed to stay on the air. It is far bigger and more popular than anyone knows, and importantly, it represents the voice of a very large group of people!” says the Fat Bastard in another a statement.

Within hours of the launch of a British government website to sign up families to house incoming Ukrainian refugees, more than 25,000 households in the UK enrolled in the program called “Homes for Ukraine,” the Washington Post reports.

“The United Kingdom has a long and proud history of helping others in their hour of need and our new Homes for Ukraine scheme offers a lifeline to those who have been forced to flee,” Housing Minister Michael Gove said in a statement. “I’m asking people across our country who can provide a home for Ukrainians to consider being sponsors.”

Families hosting refugees receive a $450 monthly payment from the government, with a commitment to house a refugee family for at least six months or as long as you can.

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law requiring the use of an electronic voting system in upcoming regional elections that candidates have claimed are how ballot manipulation was conducted in the past, Reuters reports.

The system was using in some regions for the Russian parliamentary elections held in 2021, with some races being questioned by losing candidates who were expected to perform stronger in the vote counts.

Putin’s order allows the system to be used in any regional or national election in Russia, or for any referendum on the ballot.

Saying the government failed to meet the defendant’s right to a speedy trial, federal prosecutors filed a motion to have charges dropped against a January 6th attacker and have him released from jail, Reuters reports.

Prosecutors, however, want to preserve the ability to charge Texas resident Lucas Denney again in the future.  Denny was arrested on December 13, 2021, and for a variety of reasons–some clear, some unclear–charges were not formally brought within the 30 day window required by the Speedy Trial Act and Denney never made an appearance before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia as required, although hearings were scheduled multiple times.

“To be sure, the government failed to comply with the Speedy Trial Act in this case,” prosecutors wrote in their Monday filing. “But there is no evidence of bad faith, a pattern of neglect or something more than an isolated incident that resulted from a number of unfortunate factors.”

The Villages, Florida mini-MAGA clustertruck that didn’t have any trucks in it at all was briefly blockaded by a pro-Ukraine protestor until the lead golf cart decided to simply drive around the woman on Sunday afternoon, Villages-News.com reports. The roughly 40 golf carts parading in solidarity with the “People’s Convoy” which drove in circles around Washington DC last week were doing the same around Market Square in Lake Sumter Landing at about 4:00 pm when a woman wearing the colors of the Ukrainian flag stepped into the roadway, impeding their progress.

A standoff ensued until the lead golf cart simply drove around the pro-Ukrainian counterprotestor, with the others following. A separate verbal altercation ensued when another woman held up a sign saying “You’re embarrassing yourself. Trump lost,” eliciting a heated reaction from one of the MAGA Villagers in the “convoy.” “Trump didn’t lose. It was stolen. And you’re a Communist,” screamed a woman from one of the Trump pussy wagons. It is unclear if the “Communist” responded in kind.

The Villages-News.com article also featured a special cameo by racist right wing psychopath Laura Loomer, now running for the House again in the Villages-area Florida 11th District, having sought out seeking redder pastures after getting absolutely fucking crushed in her 2020 Palm Beach-area general election contest against Dem Congresswoman Lois Frankel. Loomer now seeks to oust GOP Congressman Daniel Webster in the August primary. “[Webster] doesn’t even believe the election was stolen from Trump,” said Loomer to the MAGA Villagers prior to the start of their “convoy.”

After airing a clip of Republican Utah Senator Mitt Romney appearing on CNN to blast Americans–particularly members of his own Party and political ideology–supporting Russia and its invasion of Ukraine and calling their statements “almost treasonous,” Fox host and Kremlin press office internship applicant Tucker Carlson was incredulous. “Oohh, ‘almost treasonous’ siding with Putin.  Who’s siding with Putin.  I haven’t seen anybody do that.  I’ve seen a few people trying to side with the United States.”

Internet hooligan Acyn added clips of Carlson televising his support for Putin over the last couple weeks.  And as far as supporting the United States?  That would be the entire EU, the G7 and about 100 other nations who are members of the UN.

Within the request for military assistance that US officials say the Russians made to China in recent weeks, CNN reports there was a specific ask for MREs or “meals ready to eat”, meaning the Russian military is so fucked up and disorganized that they didn’t even have the field rations to issue to their soldiers to carry with them and eat while they’re invading a neighboring country.

This tracks with reporting on Russian soldiers looting Ukrainian homes and businesses looking for food – and being issued MREs that expired in 2002, which in turn doesn’t really inspire a lot of confidence overall in Putin’s military’s ability to get the job done. We’re not military experts here and aren’t going to act like we went to West Point or Annapolis like some of the instant experts out there in MAGA World have been more then happy to do. However it doesn’t take a Sun Tzu to know that soldiers need to eat, especially in a physically demanding situation like combat. If they can’t even handle the fucking basics like feeding their men then how the hell were they supposed to win?

Monday is Pi Day, the annual celebration of the number 3.141592653589793238462643383… and a whole shit ton of more digits. Infinity digits actually. Because 3/14 is 3.14 hahaha! Get it? Pi is a mathematical constant that means something about the angle of a circle or some shit. It’s represented by a Greek letter because that’s what eggheads do. They named COVID-19 variants after Greek letters too. So today celebrate π Day by ordering a pizza because it’s circular and that’s a “pie”. If you already had pizza on Sunday or for lunch, then order from a different place. Tell them you demand the price be $3.14 because of your mathematical beliefs. Be very firm about it.

In a brave move that will likely cost her her freedom (and possibly her life), Marina Ovsyannikova, an editor at state-owned Channel One, interrupted a news broadcast Monday night by jumping on-set holding a sign that reads in a mix of English and Russian, “Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here.  Russians against the war.”  According to The Guardian, she also released a pre-planned statement through a human rights group.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has signed a law allowing airlines to continue operating commercial planes heretofore owned by foreign lessors, the Wall Street Journal reports. While the move makes official the expected fucking over of the mostly Ireland-based companies that own the planes, it’s almost purely perfunctory as they will not be airworthy with sanctions the constant maintenance and parts changes modern commercial aviation requires for safe operation.

Of course that may not stop Russian authorities from threatening to kill the families of airline pilots who refuse to knowingly take off in a 757 with a left aileron that’s been flown 175,000 kilometers past its useful life and take down 150+ passengers and flight crew with them.

After a week of circling the nation’s capital on the Beltway and bitching about people giving them the finger, the “People’s Convoy” finally entered the District of Columbia to register their discontent with living in an America where more people voted for Democrats than Republicans in the last election, the Washington Post reports. The convoy entered the city via the 14th Street Bridge on Interstate 395 and slowly slogged their way along I-695 in afternoon traffic that was already basically at a standstill before they decided to make it worse. “I believe we’re making a good statement today,” said one clustertrucker livestreaming his otherwise virtually unnoticeable act of patriotic defiance. “We’re right in the swamp now and creating a horrible mess down here.”

Cops positioned at exit ramps on I-695 ensured the clustertruck did not make it off any of the exits and onto actual surface roads in the capital. “These rolling road closures are occurring in real-time as they are needed, and will be lifted as soon as they are no longer necessary,” said an alert from the DC Homeland Security department. While the clustertruckers have managed some degree of disruption to the already brutal commutes for folks in the DC area, their now eight-day old ongoing “protest” is still a far cry from the havoc their Canadian compatriots wrought upon Ottawa, a much smaller capital city in a much less densely populated metro region taken by surprise.

Hey Ron, I answered the question 3x. When he started talking about the Moon Landing being a conspiracy I knew he was nuts. Take a look at what a fool he made of himself in this unedited clip from the entire interview. He’s a propagandist. https://t.co/CJqqSWTaD8

It’s true! CNBC says since markets opened three hours ago a barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude, the shit made from dead dinosaurs that the oil companies use to make gasoline so you can drive places, has declined in value by 6.8051% to $101.92 while Coinbase says the value of the LGB Coin, a “Let’s Go Brandon”-themed cryptocurrency has declined by 0.19% to $0.00000035 per coin!

Libs, it’s time to face the facts: President Biden’s handling of the war in Ukraine has been abysmal. There’s no way around it and the obvious conclusion is that Trump would have done a better job if only that Soros-built Venezuelan supercomputer operating from a secret server in Germany that beamed its signals up to Italian satellites into Chinese thermostats in vote counting places to change the tallies on the Dominion tabulator machines hadn’t changed Trump votes to Biden and ignored all the obvious bamboo paper fake ballots. It’s simple, crystal clear truth.

Trump’s policies on this are undeniably better: He would have ran into Ukraine unarmed, snapped the neck of the first Russian soldier he saw, grabbed his rifle, fired a single round into the cockpit of a Russian jet, killing the pilot instantly, and the dead pilot would have slumped forward, accidentally firing an air-to-air missile at a Russian bomber. The shrapnel from that Russian bomber exploding would then destroy at least 10 other bombers in the same formation. Probably 20.

I hereby challenge
Владимир Путин
to single combat

Fascist MAGA asshole Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, told the Washington Free Beacon she attended Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally at the Ellipse in DC just prior to the Capitol riot, but claims she had no involvement with planning the rally and left early. “I was disappointed and frustrated that there was violence that happened following a peaceful gathering of Trump supporters on the Ellipse on Jan. 6,” Thomas told the Free Beacon. “There are important and legitimate substantive questions about achieving goals like electoral integrity, racial equality, and political accountability that a democratic system like ours needs to be able to discuss and debate rationally in the political square. I fear we are losing that ability.”
