I have heard a rumor that I can’t substantiate that the page from the hardcover version of the bad book wherein Mr Vance explained the details of his and many other men’s physical relationship with an especially curvaceous couch which was posted on this most blessed of federated websites may have been a fake. If so, I apologize for finding it entirely believable that sex weirdo Vance did something embarrassing in college. If it is true though I think it is very funny. #uspolitics #couch

The most amusing thing about this couch meme is that:

A) It’s complete bullshit, and,

B) No one is more responsible for popularizing bullshit memes and disinformation than MAGAs.

You reap what you motherfuckers sow. And it’s about time. So fuck you very much.

Seriously, I did not even look at who this ad is from, let alone its content. Making me pick a random reason is not helping you.

Found this in my open tabs and it looks REALLY useful.

Also wir haben jetzt von Trump gehört, dass es künftig keine Wahlen mehr geben könnte, dann hat er gesagt, dass es den dritten Weltkrieg gibt wenn er nicht gewählt wird und dass zusammen mit Netanjahu bis zum Totalen Sieg kämpfen will.
Und dann hören wir nun von ihm dass jedem Juden sofort der Kopf untersucht werden soll, der nicht für einen Fascho stimmt, ebenso bei den von der Regierung verfolgten Katholiken.

Man kann sich schon gut ausmalen wie er dann regieren wird.

Don't fool yourself into thinking this is any election. It's possibly the end of US democracy. Vote like you never voted before, and make sure your friends and family do the same.

#Ukraine #RussianEconomy #Anna [1of2}

Facts and figures coming out of Russia on its economics are controled by the Russian State [Putin] and are, per defenition not reliable.
Anna from Ukriane has some insight from an ordinairy Ukrainian perspective.
I will share the Gaurdian article she mentioned after this 'toot'.

"RUSSIA IS ALL FAKE: ECONOMIC GROWTH AND NO LOSSES Vlog 756: War in Ukraine" [11:44 min]
by Anna from Ukraine

Facts and figures coming out of Russia on its economics are controled by the Russian State [Putin] and are, per defenition not reliable.
The article is actualy a statement of eight European finance ministers"
And while I don't fully agree with them, the economics is sound. Ukraine should have more and the have the right to defend their country on Russian soil as well. JdeB

"Russia is lying about its economic strength: sanctions are working – and we need more
Eight European finance ministers"
by 'opinion' for the Guardian [24 july 2024]

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/24/russia-economic-growth-western-sanctions-vladimir-putin-moscow

Quotes:
"The signs are clear that not everything is as rosy in Putin’s Soviet-style war economy as Moscow would have us believe"

"President Vladimir Putin and his authoritarian regime are peddling the false narrative that the Russian economy is strong, and that its war machine is unharmed by western sanctions. This is a lie that must be rebutted."

"While Russian GDP may be growing, the economy is increasingly geared towards the war industry, upheld by large fiscal stimulus. This is not an endless source of growth, nor a sign of a stable economy. The Kremlin’s war factories are already at maximum capacity. Unemployment has fallen to the point that there are reports that Vladimir Putin approved the replacement of imprisonment for forced labour."

"To finance the war, the Russian government has tapped into the liquid assets of Russia’s national wealth fund. Estimates by Bloomberg suggest it has almost halved in size since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, as the country sacrifices its future prosperity to wreak havoc abroad."

"What could be perceived and mistaken as a “boost” to Russian growth is, in fact, the beginning of a re-Sovietisation of the economy."

"To cover future deficits, Putin will have to use monetary financing, adding more fuel to inflation, and further deplete the Russian cash reserves. If Putin stays on this path, the long-term damage to the Russian economy could be significant and is likely to further erode confidence."

"However, this also requires patience and resolve from the west. We must maintain and increase pressure, while continuing and strengthening our support to Ukraine. Russian propaganda must not be left unchallenged."

"Further steps are needed, however, to constrain Russia and support Ukraine. The west should ensure a swift and efficient operationalisation of the G7 agreement on providing loans for Ukraine and explore options for more far-reaching solutions, in accordance with international and EU law."

"Meanwhile, support for Ukraine needs to be maintained and strengthened, and more weapons and ammunition must be supplied. All our nations have contributed significantly to supporting Ukraine, both financially and militarily, and will continue to do so for as long as it takes. Sanctions must be strengthened – particularly in strategically important sectors like energy, finance and technology; while the enforcement of existing sanctions must be improved."

"The Ukrainians are fighting an existential battle for freedom and democracy against oppression and authoritarianism. Supporting Ukraine and undermining Russia’s capacity to wage war at every turn should be the top priority of every democratic country."
