Alex Konanykhin the Russian who offered $1,000,000 for Putler's head

Earlier today I was reading on DU how Russians with dual citizenship with UK were buying Boris Johnson's
party with political contributions. Entire article here......

Wondered if the same thing was happening here, especially with all the rumors of rubles going to Rs, thinking it
could help us in the midterms depending on who is guilty. So I looked up Alex Konanykhin and was shocked.

He has donated 18 times politically, all going to Democratic causes, with a total of less than $7,000. He's a good guy.

I believe as a party we should to looking into Russians with dual citizenship, if Putler is buying off repugs with
underhanded schemes, voters need to know about it.

Plus why stop at putting sanctions on 3 dozen Russian oligarchs? Why not put sanctions on every Russian who has
assets or money in the stock market over here? Doing that should get more Russians mad at Putler than the
current 3 dozen. Might help with his downfall in mysterious ways we never thought of.

SANCTION EVERY RUSSIAN we can lay a hand on, let's help their upcoming coup along by getting more of them MADDER.

Maybe Zelensky should ask for unarmed citizens to help stop the convoys.

They could go down the highways the Russian convoys are using to get to their cities. While waving white flags,
they could confront them with a vehicle and people blockade and start talking to them. Bring them food & water
as they are probably hungry, show them Ukrainians wish them no harm and want none in return. Kind of
peacekeepers in a sense. No shots fired, just a message of why do you want to kill us, we don't want to kill you.

Hell, lie to them the war is over and they must leave their tanks & APCs and walk back to Russia. Give 'em extra food
for the long walk home. Be as friendly as possible but insist they leave, because a few miles up the road they'll wish
they had. If unarmed citizens could stop the bloodshed it would be worth trying. Or talk 'em into surrendering.

tblue37 had a long post today talking about how friendly Russian soldiers are to Ukrainian civilians, view it here.

on edit.....

Just seen on the NBC nightly news, Ukrainians have already done this successfully to one convoy.

Hospital chief not interested in ivermectin debate with Kan. senator

TOPEKA — Steve Stites, chief medical officer at the University of Kansas Health System, has a simple explanation
for refusing to debate people who profit from glorifying ivermectin at a “symposium” in Lenexa sponsored
by Sen. Mark Steffen. "That’s not what doctors do."

Steffen, a Republican and anesthesiologist from Hutchinson who is under investigation for prescribing ivermectin
to COVID-19 patients, organized the Early Covid Treatment Symposium along with the anti-vax group Kansans for
Health Freedom. The Wednesday event features three out-of-state doctors known for spreading misinformation
about COVID-19 and vaccines, and a doctor from an Overland Park wellness clinic that utilizes holistic medicine.
Tickets cost $35.

For the past two weeks, Steffen and KSHF have taunted KU Health officials for refusing to debate the merits of
ivermectin in the public setting, while accusing the nonprofit academic system of being a “big corporate hospital”
that deploys a “go home until you can’t breathe” approach to fighting a virus that has killed nearly 8,000 Kansans.

This criticism ignores the No. 1 tool utilized by medical professionals to prevent severe illness or death from
COVID-19 — free, safe and effective vaccines. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that
70.9% of Kansas adults are fully vaccinated, and 86.5% have received at least one dose.

Yesterday I asked a group of 7 repugs a simple question at the VFW

They were all sitting together (we all know each other) when I walked up and asked "Who is responsible for the
war in Ukraine, Biden or trump?" , 100% said Biden, to which I responded with " Why in the hell are the news
stations blaming Putin then?" All but 1 quickly agreeing it was Putin's fault, and got one comment with a smile
about how he was getting tired of falling for my "got-ya questions".

The magaloon trumper just stared at me with hatred, so I went and sat by myself, if he wasn't there I would have
sat with the other 6.

Windows 10 will not allow me to save a cropped photo

When I click on my pictures icon, it opens a window called photos, it has a few options to use rotate & crop
being the main 2. When I crop a photo and go to the lower right corner, the down arrow which says "more options"
brings up a "save" button but is not highlighted, and as soon as I move my mouse it disappears. When hitting
"save a copy" which is highlighted, it goes through the motions it always does but doesn't save the cropped
photo but saves an exact copy of the photo I was attempting to crop. So I now have a bunch of pictures that look all
alike and no cropped ones. This built-in software used to work.

Wondering if all the updates microsoft forces on me has something incompatible. Any help appreciated!

Are more Russian troops refusing to fight Ukrainians?

Only about a third of the troops Putler had stationed on Ukraine's border have entered the country. Plus
Putler asked Kazakhstan to send troops to help him, they turned him down.

So what's going on there? Are factions of the Russian army refusing to fight, that's he's begging for help?
And if some are refusing to fight, Putler is surely trying to keep that information under wraps. He's got a
10 to 1 advantage over Ukraine and he's asking for help, something's amiss here.

I keep hearing from MSM that Rs are divided over support for Russia

Which R congress people are supporting Russia over Ukraine? I get my 2 R senator's and one 1 R representative's
(Kansas) news letters via email, so far all 3 have been quiet about the war.

So who are these Rs MSM keeps talking about? I'm thinking it's more hyperbole for ratings.

Let us all know if you are aware of one.

Karma at it's finest

Love to see a couple good Russians accidentally help him out a 20 story window or give him a "special"
drink. We reap what we sow, yes Karma at it's finest.
