Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I also want to say, it had something to do with Marco Rubio going on his own and leaving that chubby clown JD Vance at home. Any other day, I’d say Rubio sucks, but I do suspect he’d rather not see America pull a 180 on its commitments to its allies.

Ultimately, the ceasefire deal may or may not happen. I doubt Russia will really agree to it, but it does put some pressure on them. But, it’s providing cover for the bigger story here — the US is continuing aid to Ukraine.

That's the rub: Russia WILL and DID refuse.

It was an easy optics play to make a deal that everyone knew would never go thru to make the illusion that there is a positive member among the cadre of assholes.
