Maybe being a senile, wildly incomptent, overtly racist, wannabe-dictator doesn't work?

If you’re confused by what’s going on in Poland: loser President and anti-Ukrainian troll @NawrockiKn, beloved by fans of Russia like @FarRightSkip etc, has been trying to block elected judges from being seated. Prime Minister @donaldtusk ended his attempted coup, seated the judges, and Nawrocki is whining about it. He can’t do anything to stop it; he lost. Well done Poland! 🇵🇱 🤝🇺🇦

For those not on Facebook: Brian Blessed’s tribute to Sir Patrick Stewart.

So tragic that the daughter of Nkrumah doesn’t seem to understand that Ukrainians are fighting for their independence from an empire in exactly the same way that her dad fought for independence for Ghana from another European empire.
Samia Nkrumah, daughter of Ghana’s First President, Kwame Nkrumah, attends the Russia-Africa media summit in Moscow together with other descendants of African liberation leaders:
“The Russians helped us during our long and sometimes violent independence struggle all over the continent.
So there is some goodwill there which we hope we can capitalize on to do more for our future in Africa.”

If he keeps saying things like that, it will become impossible for Canadians to pay for their own drinks in any bar in the democratic world.

‘Of all the books I have ever reviewed that purported to offer a serious thesis, this is without question the most deranged.’

How can any country go from the eloquence and intelligence of @BarackObama to the neanderthal muttering of @realDonaldTrump?

What an embarrassment. Putin is a Communist dictator who has been responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths around the world and the jailing and killing of opposition leaders at home. He is either lying and coddling a dictator on behalf of our country or just plain ignorant

Thanks to everyone who came to Glasgow on Wednesday for my chat with @BarackObama

Demands that Martyn Oliver should go are becoming more insistent. So let's be very, very clear: that the current inspection framework would damage teachers, schools and children was well known before it was implemented. I wrote this over a year ago.

Thames Water is due to run out of money (again) over the next few weeks. A year and a half ago it was given a £3 billion bailout now it's asking for another £2.4 billion.
We really are being taken for mugs.

“Do not mistake the Ukrainian desire for peace for a willingness to surrender. The Ukrainian spirit cannot and will not be broken,” former President Viktor Yushchenko writes in an open letter to U.S. President Donald Trump.

Of the five parties to the Budapest Memorandum:
One is invading Ukraine.
Another is openly pushing Ukraine toward capitulation.
A third is supplying resources that help make it possible.
A fourth continues buying Russian resources, helping finance Moscow’s war machine while publicly claiming to stand with Ukraine.
That leaves the good old British.
Thirty-two years after Ukraine surrendered its nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances, this is where we stand.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t even matter if Zelenskyy is President of Ukraine or not. @ZelenskyyUa
Putin’s goal is to take Ukraine. Then he will take Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and he will make his way through all of Europe.
People obsess over personalities too much.
You could have an election in Ukraine tomorrow and Putin would still find a reason to be at war.
Russia INVADED Ukraine.
Not the other way around.
Zelenskyy’s removal from office won’t stop Russian imperialism.
It’s not about Zelenskyy. It’s about Putin. It’s always been about Putin.

🎯 Tone-policing Zelenskyy, or any Ukrainian, while their people are in their 5th year of being murdered by Russia is revolting. If Trump doesn’t want to be criticized for siding with Putin, he can stop siding with Putin. Appeasing and flattering him has failed. Pick a side.
By making it clear to people like you that Trump is no friend of Ukraine, and is giving relief not just to the Russians, but the Iranians as well who are armed and supported by our own money now.
People like you give Trump cover “he’s just getting bad advice (like he’s some helpless child)”
Or “ya but Biden….”
Clearly you don’t get it. And you don’t understand that history will not forget. There will be a special place in history for those who knew better, but desperately tried to stay in MAGAs good graces.
