Absolutely GLORIOUS!!!

Sigh…

He never struck me as anything but a weakling, anyway.

One who always wanted to avoid making waves. He’s never impressed me.

Some “legacy” YOU’VE built for yourself, Roberts. The Chief Justice Most Likely To Get Rolled Over.

That's why they do election coverage like they do.

Simply MUST have a fucking “horse race”. It’s money in the bank.

Yep. If it is not stopped, Ukraine will indeed be just the beginning.

Putin likely won’t be satisfied with only Ukraine. Especially when he’s already indicated he wants the whole thing - and then some.

I doubt it’s beyond the realm of possibility that he wants it ALL back under Russian control. He evidently wants to recreate the former Soviet Union - with its iron grip over all of what we used to regard as the “Iron Curtain countries” - the so-called “Soviet satellite countries” as I remember Romania, Bulgaria, and other nations edging the Russian border. Or what a guest on with Alex Witt (Robert Bell of the National Security Council) just called the “original Cold War lines of 1989.” From everything I’ve heard and read, that seems to be Putin’s objective: to mow through all those recently liberated newly-sovereign countries that used to be known as “Soviet satellite countries” and drag them back under Russian (ie: HIS) control.

I can’t help but fear that those nations better prepare - or NATO and the US - better prepare to put some actual muscle behind their words of warning. Moldova better arm up, cuz Putin undoubtedly wants THEIR turf, too. That’s the legacy he’s spending billions in Russian treasure and thousands of lives to build for himself in the history books. I suspect he even imagines himself being hailed as “Vlad the Great.”

Don't I wish...

This is really wonderful!

As the song goes - “it is better to light just one little candle than to stumble in the dark…”

Breathtaking! Mesmerizing!

Really touches the imagination. Makes you think.

Just BEAUTIFUL.

EXACTAMENTE!!!

And a Hurricane donald back inside the White House would blow it all away.

GOTTA get out the vote!

If we don’t, we’re NOT going to like what we’re left with.

Just ghastly.

Horrifying, and depressing also.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
