Very weird evening on Capitol Hill, Johnson swerved the vote then changed his mind 30 minutes later. Managed to get a 1-vote majority on a procedural bill (the budget blueprint) which is definitely a win relative to expectations, but is probably not a great sign for the ability to get the budget bill all the way through.
Iām seeing a lot of nervousness growing in various financial / economical articles.
Whatās an orange version of a lettuce called?
Shit leaf?
This may not be final. The bits about security guarantees are very vague.
Iāll let others criticise it.
Regardless of what is written in it, any deal with Trump is not worth the paper that itās written on. As a businessman, he has double-crossed pretty much everyone he has dealt with.

Given Putin reneged on the Minsk agreements Iām not convinced from that side either.
So did anyone catch the belly dancers were bearded ladies? Is that a hallucination or just the result of a pretty racist algorithm?
Everyone on the internet except a lot of cheering MAGA, noticed, mate
I chuckled.
Itāsā¦amusing, as well as ultra daft, arrogant, lack of respect, agressive and all the other words you can add to it if you are writing about it seriously.
Imagine being someone in Gaza as we speak, and watching that drivel⦠I know for a fact that Iād be absolutely infuriated by this.
There is no one who can stop Trump. Otherwise he would certainly have been strongly advised not to do so, as the video is not only in very poor taste towards the people there, but also greatly antagonizes the Arab world against the USA and definitely poses a security risk.
But the FBI and/or all other counterterrorism organizations certainly have everything under control.
A perfect recruitment promo for ISIS
Dearborn voted for Trump. This is what they are getting
Yes, of course. That is what I alluded to in my response to Limie.
Itās a long catalogue of arrogance and disrespect of others. But I am numbed to that mostly, as it is hardly surprising given the extremely hostile language towards Canada and Denmark. I mean, when you threaten the existance of your allies and treat them like trash, then itās no surprise that you treat someone you regard as an enemy as deserving of even less respect.
Nah, for Hamas.
ISIS has no real space to grow in Gaza. Hamas is already so extreme and nihilistic that it covers most of ISISās bases, so to speak. What is some ISIS recruiter going to promise that Hamas does not already cover. Very little, except for aa broader war against everyone. Hamas has total control in Gaza and since ISR withdrew, it has clamped down hard with executions and torture of dissidents and criminals. No one in Gaza can go against them. I donāt see how ISIS can grow there without the full cooperation of Hamas. And they are not alligned, so probably not.
Did they use Grok to make it or something?
