System Of A Down - Toxicity (GUITAR SHRED) || Sophie Lloyd
A bipartisan group of 14 senators urged President Donald Trump to rescind his invitation for Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the Group of 20 summit in Miami in December. The letter, whose bipartisan signers were led by Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), chair of the Armed Services Committee, and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), the ranking member on the Foreign Relations Committee, came after Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the invitation on Wednesday. "President Putin bears sole responsibility for launching Russia's full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine," the senators wrote in the letter. "Allowing him to participate in a G20 Summit in the United States raises serious concerns about legitimizing and normalizing a government that continues to attack Ukrainian civilian targets every day."

Vendors rolling out AI have an "incentive to deny as many claims as possible."
International fugitive from justice Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, an alleged war criminal responsible for the deaths of at least 73,914 human beings -- 20,179 of them CHILDREN, as well as the vicious maiming and wounding of another 174,952 people in Gaza -- snuck into NYC and brayed a useless and spiteful tirade at UNGA which was uniformly ignored by the diplomatic community. The nefarious war criminal was angrily met by hundreds of Samaritans, including diligent members of Jews Against Genocide, many of whom were proudly arrested by the NYPD. These volunteers would be quickly processed and released by the progressive judges of NYS who probably wondered why these well-intentioned pilgrims were arrested in the first place.
