I was born in the mid sixties. Russia was, is and has always been the enemy. My generation, who were repeatedly warned about cults, has fallen prey to an actual cult and refuse to face reality.

@charlotteclymer.bsky.social mentioned the piece being played but I've already forgotten. She seemed to believe it was a strange choice as well.

I'll always believe he killed his child and the kidnapping was a hoax. He was never a good person.

Krasnov showed his true allegiance today and the entire world saw him for what he is.

Any movie with Gene Hackman is well worth it! He was amazing in everything! 🤩

Loved this version. Saw the original (La Cage Aux Folles) as a preteen on HBO and changed my perspective of the world. And no, I did not have appropriate supervision as a GenX kid.

Long ago I worked with an ATC who was fired by Reagan bc of the strike. Destroyed his life and took a toll on his health. A very sad man that loved his previous position & could never claw his way back to prosperity as a draftsman. The powers that be care for no one.

Purely performative and going nowhere. Laws are already in place. They (both sides) insult me and my family.

Now we know which Dems are full on MAGA. I hope they all lose their seats if we have elections again 😞

Just more proof that whether there is an (R) or (D) by your name, they are all cut from the same cloth and none of us matter to them in the least. At this point I only have faith in @aoc.bsky.social, Bernie and Jasmine Crockett. Vote Jeffries out asap bc he is feckless and not inspiring.

Learn the difference between lecturn and podium. Not that it would change my opinion of your complete ignorance of how the govt continues to run in spite of the minions

The politicians here know how the $ flows & ends up in their pocket one way or another. UofA systems combined are the largest employer, UAB Hospital esp. State refuses to expand Medicaid to help thousands of kids bc they haven't found the kickback yet. Honda & Mercedes assembled here employ thousand

Former fed employee. After going paperless, we went from 30 people in my section to 9 via attrition over a small amount of time. We implemented telework which saved $ on office space. Production was tracked every minute, so no slacking off. Don't believe Elon is interested in these facts.

Well, for some judiciary staff, just print out your CMAssist transactions. It's ALL there.

Major disappointment that you endorse extortion of a country which is literally fighting for their lives. I'm sure the dead kids will not mind you pillaging whatever is left of their country.
