I think he'll still be in Parliament, but his only leadership position may only be in the local Bund chapter.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

So, Putin was right... sort of...

He said his special military operation was to de-Nazify Ukraine.

When it was Canada he should have been de-Nazifying.

Approaching ten days since this topic was posted on ...

Looks like whatever the plan was in Ukraine is getting scrapped. They will be running out of money, weapons, ammo and cannon fodder with Israel sucking all the oxygen (attention and money) into their region. Ukraine will be lucky to get anything out of whatever the ending agreement/settlement ends up being. Talk about a failure of intelligence in identifying the adversaries determination. Our foreign policy experts have managed to implement policies that aren't in anybody that's involved best interests. Other than maybe the MIC. 
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Don't worry there's still time for Azov BDE to find a bunch of dead babies the Russians left behind.

It was always Russia’s war to lose, and never the Ukrainian’s to win.  The Russians, as terrible fighters as they are, as corrupt as they are, had the one thing the Ukrainians desperately lacked.  Numbers.

The Ukrainians had a respectable kill ratio but it was still about 1/5 of the minimum kill ratio they needed to have the slimmest of hopes for victory.  Even with all the advanced weapon systems, ammo, and money the west threw at them.

Israel said no to Zelenskyy visiting. He's so out of the news now I expect him to hit Russia with a big direct attack. Or maybe Poland.

I saw a post that they launched the first strikes with US ATACMS missiles today and received 30 or so M1 Abrams tanks with ammo and spare parts.  Israel may be getting the press, but they are still receive goody bags.

Meh, he's not that left behind. A $100 billion foreign aid package "due to what's happening in Israel" with the bulk of the money going to Ukraine. Brandon has to keep the money flowing so the ukis don't spill the beans on his corruption. Which seems to have disappeared from the news since the Israeli/Hamas stuff started.

The media not watching Ukraine makes it easier for Brandon & Co. to keep sending the slush to Ukraine with little to no risk of exposure or protest.

Apparently this gave someone ideas:

And Uncle Joe pulled out 4 pieces of candy for each child and give them each 3 pieces while keeping 1 each for himself.

Whoops

Quote
A grenade given as a birthday present has blown up and killed a close aide of the head of Ukraine's armed forces Valery Zaluzhny.

Maj Hennadiy Chastyakov, 39, had returned to his flat with presents from his colleagues and was opening them with his son when the grenade exploded.

Maj Chastyakov was killed and his 13-year-old son left seriously wounded.

Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said the boy had started turning the ring on the grenade.

"Then, the serviceman took the grenade from the child and pulled the ring, causing a tragic explosion."

Prosecutors clarified later that he had accidentally set off the grenade while trying to take it away from his son.

Quote
But it soon emerged that another five grenades had been found in the flat. Mr Klymenko said that they had been a gift from a colleague in the army.

Two similar grenades were later found in a search of the colleague, described as a colonel in the army.

Who TF gives grenades as gifts?

I seem to remember a youtuber once mentioning they visited someone in Russia and were able to walk up to one of the arsenals with a little cash and walk away with a box of grenades.
