Me too. One day you're a "normal" head of state and the next day you're thrusted onto the world stage, trying to galvanize and keep together a nation under attack, while at the same time having to rally support from other countries/ leaders.
A lot of current leaders from different countries would've just folded under the pressure.

Yeah, I am not surprised either, this is mostly confirmation of what has been suspected for some time. Of course, there's already people trying to downplay it, saying "What was he supposed to do?", "It was different times" and the other usual BS. He really has a strong following of people who deify him and worship him as a saint, as babyblob pointed out, especially in Poland. When it comes to Catholic Church, nothing really surprises me anymore about the corruption and cover up of crimes. It's like the Republican party, a decent person who cares about the people more about their career is an exception, not a rule.
Me too. I try not to admire real people too much to not get burned later, but there's hardly anyone at the moment who impresses me more.
Slava Ukraini!Truth and love must prevail over lies and hatred
Because why not, a Norfolk Southern train derails in Alabama hours before CEO testifies before Congress. On top of that, the Washington Post has an article I saw on Instagram about ANOTHER train derailment, this one in West Virginia that happened after the train hit a rockslide. Reports in that one is that diesel fuel spilled into the river, and the three-man crew suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
I'll just say I hope Mr. McConnell gets the outcome he deserves.
Mexican cartel allegedly takes responsibility for kidnapping of 4 Americans
I'm surprised they are left alive. But, if true I guess them "talking" isn't a concern. All paid or threatened well.A powerful Mexican cartel has allegedly taken responsibility for the kidnapping of four U.S. citizens, and killing of two of them, in the Mexican border city of Matamoros.
Five men were found tied up near a pickup truck on Thursday morning. ABC News has geolocated that location as the same area where the U.S. citizens were kidnapped on Friday.
A handwritten note was found placed on the windshield of the truck, whose author or authors say they belong to the Gulf Cartel, the dominant organized crime group in this part of Mexico.
The note said some Gulf Cartel members were responsible for the kidnapping and killings and apologized for their actions.
"We have decided to deliver those involved and directly responsible," the note said, presumably referring to the five men found tied up at the scene.

And Tennessee GOP passes outright homophobic bill
Yeah...sorry but if you're part of this party or still voting for them...you're one of the bad guys.
Hey, remember when we said that trans people are just the tip of the wedge and that this is an organized effort to do just that? Welp, we've got proof.

Mother Jones has the receipts.On a Saturday afternoon in August 2019, South Dakota Republican state Rep. Fred Deutsch sent an email to 18 anti-trans activists, doctors, and lawyers with the text of a bill he planned to introduce that would make it a felony for doctors to give transgender children under 16 gender-affirming medical care. “I have no doubt this will be an uphill battle when we get to session,” Deutsch warned the group. “As always, please do not share this with the media. The longer we can fly under the radar the better.”
The message was one in a trove of emails obtained by Mother Jones between Deutsch and representatives of a network of activists and organizations at the forefront of the anti-trans movement. They show the degree to which these activists shaped Deutsch’s repressive legislation, a version of which was signed into law in February, and the tactics, alliances, and goals of a movement that has sought to foist their agenda on a national scale.
Well, the name of Stormy Daniels is going to be news again....
https://www.reuters.com/legal/manhat...yt-2023-03-09/Manhattan prosecutors signal charges likely for Trump in Stormy Daniels case
NEW YORK, March 9 (Reuters) - Manhattan prosecutors have signaled to former President Donald Trump that he could face criminal charges relating to his alleged role in hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, the New York Times reported on Thursday, citing four unnamed sources.
The former president was told he could appear before a Manhattan grand jury next week if he wished to testify, the newspaper said. It said such invitations almost always mean an indictment is close.
Speculation is that they held back doing anything when this cropped up during the first time Trump ran for president because they didn't want to interfere with the election process. Still, what took them so long???? That was was 7 years ago.
