@#12 ... who staged the Maidan coup? ...

Since you asked (and I have posted this previously...)

... The Revolution of Dignity ..., also known as the Maidan Revolution or the Ukrainian Revolution,[2] took place in Ukraine in February 2014[a] at the end of the Euromaidan protests.[1]

Scores of protesters were killed by government forces during clashes in the capital Kyiv.

Parliament then voted to remove President Viktor Yanukovych, return to the 2004 Constitution of Ukraine, and call new elections.

The revolution prompted Russia to occupy Crimea, starting the Russo-Ukrainian war.[1][2]

In November 2013, a wave of large-scale protests known as "Euromaidan" began in response to President Yanukovych's sudden decision not to sign a political association and free trade agreement with the European Union (EU), instead choosing closer ties to Russia.

Euromaidan soon developed into the largest democratic mass movement in Europe since 1989.[29] The Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) had overwhelmingly approved finalizing the EU association agreement;[30] Russia had pressured Ukraine to reject it.[31]

The scope of the protests widened, with calls for the resignation of Yanukovych and the Azarov government.[32] Protesters opposed what they saw as widespread government corruption and abuse of power, the influence of Russia and oligarchs, police brutality, human rights violations,[33][34] and repressive anti-protest laws.[33]...

Viktor Yanukovych
en.wikipedia.org

... According to Russian politician Oleg Mitvol, Yanukovych bought a house in Barvikha in Moscow Oblast for $52 million on 26 February 2014.[307]

On 27 February 2014, a report stated that Yanukovych had asked the authorities of the Russian Federation to guarantee his personal security in the territory of Russia, a request that they accepted.[308] Yanukovych claimed that the decisions of the Ukrainian parliament adopted "in the atmosphere of extremist threats" are unlawful and he remains the "legal president of Ukraine". ...


"There is no Ukraine": Fact-Checking the Kremlin's Version of Ukrainian History (2020)

... The notion that Ukraine is not a country, but a historical part of Russia, appears to be deeply ingrained in the minds of Russian leadership. ...


Last week the sinister Israeli security services arrested Brad Lander (D-NY) and dozens of Israeli and international Samaritans in the occupied West Bank while accompanying Palestinian farmers harvesting olives. Anton Goodman, acting CEO of Rabbis for Human Rights, reported that 28 Israeli members of his delegation and another 42 foreign citizens were being held for interrogation at the police station in nearby Beitar Illit.

Brad Lander, good friend of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D-NY), easily beat wealthy Daniel Sachs Goldman (D-NY) -- an AIPAC funds recipient -- in the Democratic Party primary earlier this year.

Mr Lander will represent New York's 10th CD after election day on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026 and his swearing in at noon at the US Capitol on 3 Jan 2027.

Brad Lander is a genuine mensch and we're lucky he wasn't tortured by the IDF or beaten up or shot by Israeli Settlers who have targeted other American politicians and journalists.

"FUNNY"

And, even when we beat him, the entire country will be shoveling the ---- he made for the next generation.

The United States will never recover it's standing in the world.

By electing a petulant wannabe dictator who works for Putin and loves Xi, Ergodan, and Lil Kim we have proven to the world we cannot be trusted to elect competent leaders that will defend democracy.

The GOP sold out this nation's reputation because the all have dossier's in the Kremlin with every underage child they raped, every illegal dollar they accepted, every russian hooker they were in bed with.

You look to the members of the GOP that fled the party over the past decade of Trump. They were tired of the hate pushed at them for standing up for our nation or afraid of the threats of death and violence from the feral maga horde.

One by one they all stood up on the floor of the House and Senate in the hours following 1/6 and all gave grandiose speeches of how Trump crossed the line by sending an armed mob to attack the Capitol resulting in death to police officers and magats alike. Then the leaders are summoned to Florida to kneel before his majesty and then one by one they all fall into line re-writing history that the mob were just tourists and they were hugging and kissing the police.

Mitch and the GOP had the chance to end his canidacy forever and put the nation and democracy above the orange king and they chose the orange king. EIther by threat of violence, exposure or bribe they signed onto the chaos and carnage he inflicted on the world and this nation.

Their legacy will forever be tied to him.

The legacy of the US used to be standing up for what is right, for helping people who are suffering, curing diseases and feeding the starving. Now it is all about grift, bribes, corruption and taking care of the people that already have the most wealth in the history of the world.

Kneecapping starlink and starshield in Ukraine while simultaneously easing sanctions and buying Russian blood diesel is the perfect example of that.

Cutting taxes for the 1% permanently while giving the middle class three year temporary tax breaks while also kicking families off of health insurance and food assistance is what the GOP has become.

My father always said the GOP only took care of the very wealthiest while stealing whatever they could from the poorest Americans and now they are not even trying to hide it anymore. They'll show you their bible with their left hand while picking your pocket with the right hand.

Poor, poor Coriolanus, our resident Shakespearean has either suffered a stroke or completely missed the mark.

But somebody thought my comment was "FUNNY" (guess who?).

[Eyeroll]

Propaganda, Clownshack?

Ouch! I thought we were pals!

"Trumpf has given Putin and Netanyahu everything they've wanted and more."

We can contend the same about "Genocide Joe" who gave ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu everything he wanted in 2024.

This OP was just a gentle reminder for all of us in Amerikkka that we are in the middle of this massive maelstrom and economic meltdown because of AIPAC Democrats and their acquiesence to Israel in 2024. Putting the needs of Israeli Jews (7.2m) ahead of American Jews (7.7m) has cost the US dearly.

With "Genocide Joe" eventually reaching the "country from whence no man has returned" because of cancer, this commentary was meant to analyze his mindset.

This OP was also for the younger folks on drudge.com who may have never watched That Championship Season (1982) and its stellar cast.

But back to the present: AIPAC Democrats and the blood of 75,000 slaughtered Palestinians on their hands will now pander for our votes on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026, get them, and the horrible status quo will continue.

These very same AIPAC Democrats are the dinosaurs that want to "fix" or "reform" ICE and DHS, not completely abolish them and return INS to its pre-9/11 state with Immigration Judges (IJ) and due process for aliens, migrants, amd refugees.

"Whence is that knocking?
How is 't with me when every noise appalls me?

What hands are here! Ha, they pluck out mine eyes.
Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood

Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas incarnadine,
Making the green one red."

(MacBeth, Act II, Scene II)


And thank you, Johnny Hotsauce.

"FUNNY"

"But, hey! In 2024 we got the 140 gosh-darned Israeli hostages home. So there, you stupid peaceniks, antiwar Samaritans, pro-Palestine volunteers, pacifists, and military veterans against war!"


POTUS Joe Biden (D) now receives a world record $417,000 per annum federal pension or approximately $10 per Palestinian slaughtered in Gaza by the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) during his Democratic Party administration.
