Watching a clip of PAB on MSNBC and whoo boy, people 100 years from now are not going to understand how this ridiculous looking and whiny voiced man ever got into a position of power.

On the phone with my 85 year old ma yesterday:

Her: "But Janet Yellen Bowed to that Chinese Communist! John Kerry took his private jet to the climate meeting! Joe Biden! Who's really in charge?"

Me: "Ma. If I wanted to hear that garbage spin on things, I'd watch Fox news. I don't watch Fox news. [ETA I pay 'Trix & co to watch for me!] I love you. Let's talk about art or the theater."

Wonkette Youtube channel with SER and Robyn is up to 964 subscriptions.

It's my understanding that if they get 1000 subscriptions the channel starts making $$$$

While you are waiting for TABS , CLICK the YouTube link and hit "Subscribe"

We can get them to 1000. Lets go!

I just checked. The payment model is slightly more complicated (figures, right?!) than just having 1000 subs, but regardless it's a good goal.

Yeah ... LS son (who does lots of YT) says the minimum is 1,000 subscribers, and then a bunch of other new conditions were added. The 1,000 still is the floor he says.

At some point in the future, I promise you, RFK will take credit for re-electing Biden.

I'm OK with him running. It's a handy distraction, and he is sucking up wingnut money like a sponge. That's money not going to any viable Republican.

I doubt he will get on the ballot, but if he does I think he'd steal more Republican votes.

Here's the latest Russo-Ukrainian War assessment. The article leads off with accounts of Russian commanders getting dismissed from their posts or arrested, and there are indications that insubordination and defeatism may be spreading.

Meanwhile, AFU methodically grinds away at their defensive lines and logistics hubs. DKos's update yesterday said one of their biggest hubs, outside of Luhansk, just went kablooey.

Sure would be a shame if the RF army collapsed into disorder just as AFU breaches the lines.

"Comparative" wealth. You've put your finger on it. The place stretches over 11 time zones, has half the population of the US, and their economy's about equal to California's (probably due to widespread corruption and inefficiency).

"Gas station masquerading as a country", to quote Sen. John McCain and ha, they wish they had an economy as big as California's, the 5th largest in the world. And now they have a much smaller army and the traffic at the gas station has gone way down.

There's been another Ukrainian attack on the Kerch Bridge, this time nearly dropping one two-lane segment into the strait and damaging the neighboring bit of the span. Russia has suspended the humanitarian grain deal which had allowed Ukraine to ship out of Odesa.
