Trump Bails Out Putin—and Betrays America

Last Friday, Trump announced a “massive” deal to purchase diesel from Russia. The adjective was his. The consequences ours. Dollars will go to Putin, a dictator who'll use them on weapons so his war machine can continue killing Ukrainian civilians. The Atlantic described it as the most outrageous & heartless Trump betrayal.
Trump claims it'll help lower fuel prices in the U.S. Horseshit. The first shipment's smaller than what American consumers use in a day. We have a surplus of diesel. It's Trump's attacks on Iran, not Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil refineries, that have driven spikes in fuel prices. Buying a token quantity of Russian diesel does not remedy this.

A good worker
The truth is, I’m not a good worker. I’ve had very few traditional jobs, and my performance on typical tasks was poor. Work the exact hours, do precisely what’s asked, don’t ask questions and focus on what the boss wants. We modeled ‘good worker’ behavior in school. “Will this be on the test?” was the […]

Meanwhile, the Paris Court of Appeal put a separate VPN blocking appeal on hold until France's Supreme Court rules on DNS blocking.
