Why shouldn't we see Glenn Greenwald's "Let Russia Have Ukraine" argument as literally repeating Kremlin talking points?

First of all, where did the Kremlin say "Let us have Ukraine?" They reluctantly invaded in 2022 after years of frustration over broken promises from a West that was baiting them into war for the purpose of destabilizing Russia a'la Afghanistan.

You're probably not going to like this, but "Russia reluctantly invaded" sounds like a Kremlin talking point. Russia invaded in 2014, was occupying Crimea and had been providing troops and weapons to fight in eastern Ukraine since that time. Those are facts.

my “malaise” got a name today: Covid.

Get the Paxlovid ASAP. The last time I had it (November 23) was definitely the worst thus far. Regardless of what people say, it's not something to be taken lightly.

In spite of our countless differences, I wish you a mild case and a speedy recovery.

How many people have been prosecuted and convicted for whatever Trump was convicted for?

"The Manhattan DA’s office has filed charges for falsification of business records 9,794 times since 2015. When announcing the charges, Bragg emphasized the importance of the integrity of business records in Manhattan, the 'home to the country’s most significant business market.' He explained: 'We cannot allow New York businesses to manipulate their records to cover up criminal conduct.' At the time of Trump’ s indictment, Bragg, had already filed 120 cases alleging violations of 175-10, all of them in the first degree based on the concealment or commission of another crime."

Discussion: The Trump Indictments

A different Republican Party would negotiate with Trump and ask him to withdraw as a candidate for the good of the Party and allow one of their own to step in and promise him a pardon. But this is not the Party that was willing to ask Nixon to resign.

They are passionate about grievance and revenge. And already across from Trump Tower one of his supporters is flying the flag upside down. What a disgrace.

Thanks all — wasn’t given Paxlovid, but got four prescriptions — antibiotic, prednisone, benzonatate, plus an inhaler!

When my primary care doctor didn’t return my initial call, and the ENT doctor told me she couldn’t see me until the end of June, and my eye doctor said the nasal spray he had given me a few days earlier couldn’t be the culprit, I will be eternally grateful for Hackensack Meridian urgent care walk-in centers which have popped up all over Ocean County. My neighbor brought me to a center and within an hour, I was examined, diagnosed, reassured, and walked out. The center phoned in my prescriptions and my neighbor brought me home first, and then picked up my meds and brought the to my house! I love this neighbor!
