This tweet from her matches Russian political positions. Especially considering that Russia had seized almost 1/3 of Ukraine when she tweeted this. It was particularly tone deaf on Stein’s part because Ukraine had surrendered its nukes, and its reward was being invaded by the country it gave the nukes to.
Steins dinner with Putin was in 2015, so post invasion of Crimea and over a year into Russian “little green men” invading the Donbas.
I like coming north and spending my money to boost the Canadian economy because our laws down here are stupidly hurting my brothers and sisters in Canada. I hope that’s still okay that I come north.
First, I’m not stupid enough to go to Russia to celebrate their propaganda apparatus like she did. Second, I notice you selectively ignored the other option of her just standing up and walking away.
You’re working very hard to craft some kind of narrative trying to convince us she has repeated poor decision making (a bad quality for a President). Are you trying to do that because the other, more likely scenario, is the reality she’s willing tool for Russia?
That explanation isn’t helping her cause or that of the Greens. She actively went to a celebration of the Russian state propaganda machine, that is mistake #1. Then, according to you, she made a choice to continue to sit silently a table with Putin. She could have either kept quiet, stood up and removed herself, or she could have exercised some statesmenship and when presented with the President of Russia, challenge him on his policies of invasion of the sovereign country of Ukraine killing its citizens and kidnapping its children in the Donbas.
Instead, according to you, she sat silent.
she did not have dinner with putin. this is misinformation
You’re looking at the picture. Both Stein and Putin are sitting at the same table. There is food in front of both. Are you claiming the photo is fake? Or are you playing word games where the meal was something like “lunch” instead of “dinner”?
The ruling parties love to smear the Greens on this side of the pond too, unfortunately
The Greens on the USA side of the pond do a great job of smearing themselves.
Here’s the US Green Party 2024 Presidential candidate Jill Stein having dinner with Vladimir Putin, members of Putin’s senior staff, and self admitted registered foreign agent for the Turkish government, Michael Flynn.
I still have zero respect of MTG. She made her turn of face while still in office where her vote could have affected real change, but instead she immediately resigned. If she had started voting to match her new rebrand then perhaps there would be something to undo all the partially damage she’s done while in office, but no. She quit instead.
She’s all talk just onto her next grift, and she thinks the left are her new mark.
What surprises me most is that I don’t think Apple ever sold an expensive cradle for this mouse to be held upside-down. Die hard Apple fans would have bought it.
You might have been provided a “less-ipe”. In communities where recipes are closely guarded, social pressures may force one to share what would be a personal secret. So they give an adulterated version ensuring only they, the original recipe holder can produce the beloved result.
Further, your DD 5.25" could have been set up in a RAID array so you could have 3 buses full of diskettes and only need two buses to reach the destination to rebuild the whole file system.
We can extrapolate.
This comic was published 5 years ago, and that there is a second frame of the comic:
Standing person: “Okay, I trust you. Here’s a budget, a team, and a deadline 5 years from now.”
I don’t disagree with any of that, but it has nothing to do with my specific point.
“Men are disgusting! They only think about one thing sex medieval sword making!” /s
I’m not talking about laws. I’m talking about their supposed mandate to deport those in the US illegally. These folks on the ship weren’t even in the USA so there was no need to take them into the USA to deport them.
Republicans claim widespread food stamp fraud. What’s missing?
EvidenceFood stamp fraud.
I fixed the headline.
The biggest driver of the stock market right now is (relative to this problem) lower interest rates and high inflation. If you have money, parking it in a savings account earning 3% at best is losing money. Inflation is devaluing that money in the account with the inflation rate currently at 3.26%. Low short term interest rates on US Treasuries mean the 3.77% yield is just barely outpacing inflation.
So where do you go for a better return? The US stock market. trump is destroying our nation, but even the boring S&P500 index funds are, as of today’s market closing, returning 7.59% YTD (since Jan 1 2026)!
If you had put $1000 in a boring S&P500 index fund on Jan 1 of this year, it would now be worth $1075.90.
Compare that to something silly like crypto. Lets take Bitcoin for example:
If you had put $1000 in Bitcoin on Jan 1 of this year, it would now be worth $928 as Bitcon is down 7.2% YTD (since Jan 1 2026).
Even physical gold which has performed very well recently is only up 8.66% YTD, which is good, but gold is a hedge, not a great investment.
Where else beside the US stock market are you getting even close to these returns with this level (or lower) of risk?
Wait, these crew members were on a ship, not on US soil. US Customs and Immigration is on land which you have to pass through to get to the USA. ICE actually dragged them onto US soil just so they could say they were there illegally? WTF?!
This sounds like politicians that don’t understand the technology.
Anyone can create an AI model (including Gen AI LLMs). I personally created on for a hobby project trained exclusively on a series of old public domain novels from the early 1900s. Don’t get me wrong, my AI model sucks and only produced barely coherent responses, but it absolutely meets the definition of an AI model.
So how would this White House action (if implemented into law) affect me and my model?
The ribbing is warranted. I’ll take it if it means I can still get my All Dress chips, peameal bacon, and poutine.
