Gossip over the samovar (Incidentally, get your food taster to drink from the samovar before you do so. If he reports a "funny taste," refrain.) suggests that Comrade Vlad may be kaputski or close to it, inspiring much who-knows journalmalism about a power vacuum in his wake and even scuffling *at* his wake.

I refuse to speculate. I bet down the line on Malenkov in Vegas (when a hundred smackers meant something) and look where it got me.

Imperialist Turnip is coincidentally the name of my anarchist native plant seed bombing collective (I'm not musical like you guys).

What's the minimum order of seed bombs? I could toss a few.

I have all the stuff I need to carve the pumpkin. School is having a contest. This year, I'm doing creepy clown pumpkin. I had to go borrow the library's craft glue gun, because I can't find mine. I'll post a pic if I get it done without cutting off my arm.

I have been effectively clown-phobic since I was a kid. I look forward to seeing your creation because since clowns already freak me out I know it's going to be appropriately creepy.

The Messenger reports that Trump is scheduled to take the stand on Monday, Nov. 6 when he will face off against prosecutors from New York Attorney General Letitia James' office.

What's more, Trump's three eldest adult children — Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., and Eric Trump — are set to testify on Wednesday, Nov. 8.

I'm sure that, being Trumps, they will all comport themselves brilliantly on the stand.

Repeating my urgent request for a link (at the very least) to VP Harris's daily/weekly activities, attached to the open thread, for example.

Also, dear PTB, if we're never going to get true blocking capability here, would you at least please let us know outright, so that we might make decisions based on that information?.
