1kiki, you're no different than Signym. Every time truthful bad news is published about Putin or Trump, your response is the equivalent of saying the truth is "fake news". You can handle the bad news about Signym the same way by saying it is "fake news". You have used that stupid trick thousands of times to serve Putin and Trump. Use it a few times to serve Signym and yourself.

Signym just now used the words "fake news".

I could check Signym's statement for accuracy. It is not accurate and is getting pretty close to an outright lie:

Zelenskiy said he did not consider the situation more tense than before. “There is a feeling abroad that there is war here. That’s not the case,” he said. “I am not saying an escalation is not possible … but we don’t need this panic.”

Europeans have taken a more cautious approach to predictions of a Russian attack than Washington. The head of Germany’s foreign intelligence service said on Friday that Russia was not yet fixed on an invasion, although it was prepared. “I believe that the decision to attack has not yet been made,” Bruno Kahl told Reuters.

In Washington, the chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, Gen Mark Milley, agreed: “We don’t think final decisions have been made.”

However, Milley said the current buildup of Russian troops was greater “than anything we’ve seen in recent memory”.

“Given the type of forces that are arrayed – the ground manoeuvre forces, the artillery, the ballistic missiles, the air forces, all of it packaged together – if that was unleashed on Ukraine, it would be significant. Very significant,” the general said.

Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov told parliament that “as of today, there are no grounds to believe” Russia will invade imminently, noting that its troops have not formed what he called a battle group to force its way over the border

“Don't worry, sleep well,” he said. “No need to have your bags packed.”

Are you still convinced Nobody dies from Covid? I see you're still convinced vaccination doesn't work because that conviction is in your signature. And by the way, Adolf Eichmann was executed in 1962 for mass murder in Nazi death camps but he is exactly the kind of Republican who firmly believes Trump won: "Adolf Hitler may have been wrong all down the line, but one thing is beyond dispute: the man was able to work his way up from lance corporal in the German Army to Führer of a people of almost 80 million. ... His success alone proved that I should subordinate myself to this man." - Adolf Eichmann — As quoted in "The Eichmann Memoir" in The Personalist Volume XLII (1961)
https://quotes.yourdictionary.com/author/adolf-eichmann/

I really don't expect Trump and Putin supporters/defenders to step back a few feet and look at who you are favoring and suddenly realize you have been fooled. Adolf Eichmann never admitted being fooled by his leader: "To sum it all up, I must say that I regret nothing." While awaiting trial in Israel, as quoted in LIFE magazine (5 December 1960)

Ten days of sunny to mostly sunny weather 60=70 deg daytime high.

THIS is the weather that I love!

Too bad I'll be indoors recovering from chemo.

Yes, I have cancer, That "nothing" mammo turned out to be a small but aggressive type of cancer that popped up and metastasized into at least one lymph node between mammograms. Helped along by one (rare) bad gene that didn't turn up on the usual 8=gene panel, but needed a full 90-gene panel to be revealed. (no family Hx of breast cancer, and this one has nothing to do with hormones or pregnanacy or breastfeeding or abortions, it's called a HER2+ cancer combined with a BARD1 gene defect that means I don't repair DNA very well. I guess I got "lucky". The geneticist was all excited to find it. Me, not so much.)

I've been on chemo since mid-Oct, and I gotta say: it sucks. One more infusion in three weeks, then surgery to remove breast and lymph nodes, see how much cancer remains, recovery, then back on another less stringent form of chemo for another 9 months. If not a cure, then life prolongs for another 3 years, maybe more.

Gotta say, chemo sucks. Lost most of my hair, but nobody tells you you can lose your fingernails and toenails too. Nerve damage: everything tastes bitter, especially the "good for me" foods like ... oh pretty much any source of protein like meat, cheese, anything aged (soy, saurkraut, pickled anything) or anything with ANY bitterness in the falvorprofile. eve apples taste bitter.

Cumulative nerve damage elsewhere too- can't feel my fingertips very well, my toes, or the balls of my feet so I have to pick up things very carefully, walk carefully, and I lose my balance often bc I can't tell where my weight is on my feet. I tripped and fell down... hard... while walking the dog, tore the elbow off a VERY heavy duty-shirt and skinned myself up pretty good. Lost a lot of weight. Needed two transfusions bc of anemia due to general bone marrow suppression. Aches and pains like the worst flu-like body aches X5 from the Neulasta used to boost white blood cell production. Diarrhea. Need my heart function checked every three months to make sure I'm not developing heart failure. Palpitations and supraventricular tachycardia. Fatigue. It's been a cavalcade of side effects and medications to manage the side effects. Fortunately, the vomitting hasn't happened.

But! Only one more to go! Looking forward to that, and eventual recovery and some semblance of better health and activity.

The family has been very helpful. Dear daughter = despite her anxieties and disabilities- has been really pitching in and very patient with my outbursts and bad temper, and just gives me a hug. What a sweetie! Hubby and she have been running all my usual errands, and he's been taking me for my appointments and staying with me for my infusions (which last pretty mcuh all day bc they're pumping so much stiff into me) and I have one relative in the area who's been staying with dear daughter while I'm being infused and helping out in a myriad of ways, buying me tolerable foods like whey powder and egg white powder and providing me with medical advice and help and moral support.

So, life goes on.

May this New Year be better than the old!

PS I will erase this post shortly.

Signym, you're excellent at denigrating the truth about Putin and Trump. In above case, just say it is "fake news". That's your typical strategy to counter "bad news" about Trump or Putin or yourself.

Europe and the US should be "very careful" not to make concessions to Russia, Estonia's prime minister told AFP on Friday, insisting that Moscow alone can de-escalate the situation.

Kaja Kallas, whose country hosts a NATO multinational battalion, also said she had been holding talks to strengthen NATO's presence in Estonia as a deterrent amid soaring tensions over Ukraine.

If you doubt that “censor” is an appropriate word to describe those pressuring Spotify to dump Rogan, consider this: the platform is the world’s largest streaming service, with a whopping 31 percent market share in the second quarter of 2021. When a private corporation controls such a large portion of an information ecosystem, its content decisions are more than mere acts of moderation; it is laying out the boundaries of the discourse itself. That’s precisely why Young believed that Rogan’s views shouldn’t have a platform.

This brings us to perhaps the most surprising detail about this episode: since when did Young become the sort of person to advocate for shutting up his ideological opponents? The rock and folk artist made his name as a countercultural figure in the 1960s, raging against the cultural and political establishment, working with Crosby, Stills, & Nash to release “Ohio,” a powerful protest song released after the killing of student protesters at Kent State University in 1970. The song became an anthem for the anti-Vietnam War movement. Some mainstream AM radio stations, sensitive to lyrics referring to “soldiers gunning us down,” banned it, but underground radio helped make it a hit anyway. Young continued to be a mainstay of the counterculture in the decades to come. In 2006, he reunited with Crosby, Stills, & Nash to barnstorm the country singing anti-Iraq War and anti-George W. Bush songs. They called it the “Freedom of Speech Tour” and kicked it off in Philadelphia, birthplace of the Constitution.

Young’s transformation from countercultural champion of freedom of speech to corporate censorship advocate and defender of the public-health bureaucracy didn’t occur in a vacuum. Progressives have become increasingly censorious over the past few years. A majority of Democrats now believe that both private tech companies and the U.S. government should “take steps to restrict false info online.”

President of Russia since 2012, Putin is the worst President ever: Putin demanded that NATO retract the military alliance back to a "1997 status quo," indicating that at least 14 countries, including the Baltic states, Poland and Romania, would need to withdraw from the bloc to meet the Kremlin's demands.

Vladimir Putin primed Russia for war against Ukraine today, with his media mouthpiece warning NATO to back off or “everyone will be turned to ash”. (6ix, that is radioactive ash. Putin is the worst President ever.)

I have noticed that Americans don't realize that their opinions about who are best and worst Presidents give no information about the Presidents but everything about themselves. Their opinions are a Rorschach test.

6ix, your opinion about who is worst depends on what you are hiding inside -- the worst things about yourself. I'll give you a very real example: Worst President Ever is either James Buchanan, who served just before Lincoln, or Andrew Johnson, who was Lincoln's V.P. As for Lincoln, he was deemed the WORST PRESIDENT, if Confederates were asked, while Buchanan and Johnson were the BEST. Buchanan would not arrest any of the Confederates who were making noises about going to war and Johnson pardoned all the Confederates who Buchanan wouldn't arrest. I have seen in life that the worst people I know -- least trustworthy, lowest integrity, most dishonesty -- defend the worst Presidents, which includes slave-owning, tax-cheating (Nixon, Trump), and wannabe President-for-Life (Putin, Trump) Presidents.
