That's welcome news!

Please keep us posted!

Shhhhhh... don't wake the babies!

That must be it. The Taiwan thing.

No way to predict how that one would go, or whether the world would unite for Taiwan as everyone has around Ukraine, but if Xi's smart, he probably doesn't want to risk it.

Xi probably recognizes that Putin will not recover from this. Why stick your neck out, even when your situation is different?

It's hard to keep saying "Tucker" when that capital "T" keeps wanting to be an "F".

Classic.

Defying the very essence of the Republican founding philosophy:

Every man for himself;
Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps;
Don't go asking anybody/me for help;
I don't believe in handouts.
It's their own fault that they're poor (it just means they're lazy);
Rugged Individualism!

Also known as:

You're on your own;
Get for yourself;
Sucks to be you;
and my dad's all-time favorite: IGMFU ("I Got Mine, F-U" ).

Also in defiance of anything in the Bible, or the teachings of Jesus, Whom they claim to worship (as YOU worthless lazy godless freeloaders obviously don't! Besides, haven't you heard? God wants you to be RICH!).

As to that last one, I spent too many of my "Wonder Years" in Catholic school. NEVER ONCE did I EVER hear anything like that "God wants you to be RICH!" crap. We were taught that Jesus hung out with the poor, the sick, and the outcast. All our Bible and New Testament studies confirmed and reinforced that.

DAYUM she's good!

I hope she plans to send that portrait to him.

DO IT, Dammit!!!

About time!

Kick ‘em in the teeth - AND their wallets.

Make it HURT. The price you pay for standing with the villains.

I freakin' LOVE this guy!

He tweets the truth.

Putin's banquet table buddy?

Draped in her elegant, glamorous shawl? THAT Jill Stein?


NEVER FORGET.

Since when did some of the oligarchs start growing a conscience?

I kinda doubt it’s that.

I’d bet it’s more about the bad publicity and threats to their money. Not necessarily in that order.

The oligarchs prefer to operate in the dark. They don’t like it when the spotlight turns on them and people start asking questions.

I suspect the handful of ‘em who have come forward are aiming for favorable publicity, painting themselves as good guys.
