Let me explain Russia and Ukraine to MAGA in a language you might actually understand.🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 Imagine you have a neighbor you don’t like and he doesn’t like you. One morning he doesn’t knock on your door. He kicks the fucking door down with a bunch of armed friends, shoots whoever tries to stop him, moves into your house, takes over half of it, abuses your family, kidnaps one of your kids and starts teaching that kid that your family never really existed and that the house actually belongs to him. You fight back. You manage to push him out of some rooms, but he still occupies half of your house. Your friends start bringing you guns and ammunition because otherwise this motherfucker is going to take the rest of it too. Then suddenly some guy from across town shows up and says, “Why are you so pro war? Why don’t you negotiate? People are dying. We need peace.” So your neighbor offers you his brilliant peace plan: “I keep the rooms I already stole. I keep whatever I took from your family. You promise never to join the neighborhood security organization that might protect you from me. Your friends stop giving you weapons. And then I promise I won’t take the rest of your house.” Would you call that peace? Would you hand him half of your fucking house? Would you tell your wife and children that sacrificing them is necessary because fighting back is “pro war”? Or would you load every fucking weapon you own and tell him to get the hell out of your house? That is the part I cannot understand about MAGA. The same people who tell me they would shoot somebody for stepping onto their property suddenly become fucking Gandhi when Russia crosses an international border with tanks, occupies Ukrainian cities, kills civilians, kidnaps children and then demands Ukrainian territory as the price of “peace.” Russia can invent whatever excuses it wants about NATO, Nazis or Russian speakers. None of those excuses gave Russia ownership of Ukraine. Peace is not the victim giving the attacker whatever he managed to steal. That is cowardice and surrender. And if you wouldn’t accept it in your own fucking house, stop demanding that Ukrainians accept it in theirs.

Oleksandr Shestovsky spent over three years in Russian captivity. He was recently included in a prisoner swap. What does the Geneva Convention have to say about "humane treatment" of POWs?

I have some thoughts on what happened today at the White House.

Milton Friedman said it best: “Keep your eye on how much the Government is spending, because that is the true tax. There is no such thing as an unbalanced budget. You PAY FOR IT either in the form of taxes, or indirectly in the form of inflation or debt.” Fact check: TRUE ✅
