Smirnoff has landed :cruise

thanks to China's grand standing the entire world has seen them take this L in real time.

See Democrats it isn't that hard, just bomb a few terrorists and hand out some L to the communists.

Sunak is at 26%, Liz Truss is at 60%.

The libs wondered for 4 years, what could be worse than Boris Johnson and Donald Trump leading the free world?
Well Liz Truss and Donald Trump maybe.

I don't want to look through this thing just to find out, was there no follow up when she proposed age-gating the entire internet?

This is actually part of why I hate "debates" because usually the moderators are too stupid to realize the candidate just said something insane they should be able to immediately ask about and that's the actual service they should provide rather than trying to stir shit claiming that "holds them accountable" about irrelevant shit. Traditionally, the UK media has been slightly better at going "what the fuck did you just say?"

Another L for Nintex

Quote
The Dutch government declared a national water shortage Wednesday caused by the hot, dry summer that is parching much of Europe, and formed a national team to draw up measures to manage supplies, while asking the public to also chip in with savings.

“The water shortage is already having a negative effect on shipping and agriculture in particular,” said Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management Mark Harbers.

If he's making everything so horrible just declare war already and level the Kremlin, even better give me command of NATO for a week and I will mop up China and Russia.

If you ever wonder why we haven't had a nuclear armageddon in the last 70 years, it's because no Nintex has made it to power.

Why is no one worried that the UK is about to give control over 225 live nuclear warheads to Liz Truss  :doge



Putin has been sitting on his nukes for 20 years and mostly benefits from ground wars against countries without a strong air force.

How and why Russia never managed to establish air superiority will probably be a topic for the various military think tanks for quite a while.

The fact that Russia apparently has no working anti-air or missile defense systems to protect their bases seems to be easily ignored.

But they do have Steven Seagal so it's about even.

Author Salman Rushdie attacked on stage


A reporter from the Associated Press news agency witnessed the attack on Salman Rushdie just ahead of a lecture he was due to give in western New York.

The journalist saw a man storm the stage at the Chautauqua Institution and begin punching or stabbing Rushdie as he was being introduced, the news agency says.

The author was taken or fell to the floor, and the man was restrained, it reports.

Ayatollah Khomeini’s 1989 fatwa that called for Rushdie's execution and offered a $3 million reward for his murder.

But as recently as 2016, Iranian state-run media outlets added $600,000 to the bounty on his head.

Wonder if Iran will cough up the $3.6 million for the attacker.

The Russians claim to have arrested former FSB/GRU operative Strelkov on the Crimea, who back in the day started the seperatists' war in the Donbass and now is mostly famous for talking shit about the Putin regime and being wanted for the M17 attack.

https://twitter.com/christogrozev/status/1558527968993054721

In his last post on Telegram he called for the entire Politbureau (aka, decision makers in Moscow) to be shot and the Russian army to dig in around Stalingrad and Moscow.

Salma al-Shehab, 34, a mother of two young children, was initially sentenced to serve three years in prison for the “crime” of using an internet website to “cause public unrest and destabilise civil and national security”. But an appeals court on Monday handed down the new sentence – 34 years in prison followed by a 34-year travel ban – after a public prosecutor asked the court to consider other alleged crimes.

According to a translation of the court records, which were seen by the Guardian, the new charges include the allegation that Shehab was “assisting those who seek to cause public unrest and destabilise civil and national security by following their Twitter accounts” and by re-tweeting their tweets. It is believed that Shehab may still be able to seek a new appeal in the case.

By all accounts, Shehab was not a leading or especially vocal Saudi activist, either inside the kingdom or in the UK. She described herself on Instagram – where she had 159 followers – as a dental hygienist, medical educator, PhD student at Leeds University and lecturer at Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, and as a wife and a mother to her sons, Noah and Adam.

Her Twitter profile showed she had 2,597 followers. Among tweets about Covid burnout and pictures of her young children, Shehab sometimes retweeted tweets by Saudi dissidents living in exile, which called for the release of political prisoners in the kingdom. She seemed to support the case of Loujain al-Hathloul, a prominent Saudi feminist activist who was previously imprisoned, is alleged to have been tortured for supporting driving rights for women, and is now living under a travel ban.
