  1. Alleged relics of Joan of Arc investigated [Click] The breathless presentation is a signal that they are counterfeit, but it is still a pretty good story.

  4. Trump’s Lawyers Say He Can’t Post $464 Million Bond [Click] Gee— nobody wants to take a lien on Mar-a-Lago? Or Trump Tower? Or a few golf courses? And Trumpie can’t rustle up the money himself? (Doesn’t want to, more likely.)

    2. Awh, poor Donald. You mean he can't sell enough digital trading cards and gold sneakers to raise the money?

      Or, wait, here's an idea: Get the RNC to bankroll it, since it's the TNC now.

    3. TNC! Yes, that's what I'm calling it from now on!

  5. Upon reflection, I suppose that by the time the Night Witches could be recruited, equipped, and trained there might not be any undamaged oil refineries or terminals left in European Russian. Another of my great ideas down the drain, alas.

  6. I hadn't realized that the refinery attacks had had such a strong effect on Russia already. The fact that they have no place to store large amounts of oil means that if they can't process it they must stop pumping it out of the ground, and also the affected pipeline networks may become inoperable. It was only a couple of years ago that Russia restored the oil pipelines that were shut down after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

  7. Well, there's one way to solve the problem - get the hell out of Ukraine! Clearly, Putin is not clearheaded enough to take that sensible course.

  8. That's it exactly, Cat.
    Putin is destroying Russia along with Ukraine, and DT would destroy the USA.
