Former Acting Director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, said that in his entire career, he never encountered a case of forced bestiality.
So, I have to wonder, is this some reflection on the MAGA community?

Was Kash just horsing around? Or is it that he refuses to not be cowed into conceding the obvious? Either way, he's the GOAT of disinformation.
Kash Patel: "Applicants who have engaged in beastiliaty means they were victims of beastility because they were forced to do so. At this FBI we are not going to criminalize and prevent victims from serving."

But VP doesn’t have anything on DJT…
I'm old enough to remember that time a Democratic senate, in the middle of a Democratic president's reelection campaign, ordered a bipartisan investigation of the president's brother's receipt of $200,000 from the Libyan government.

And yet, DJT tells Z to stop striking Russian refineries, w/o a peep about Putin’s aggression and war crimes.
Can’t imagine why…

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

This is quite right. And see Fareed Zakaria’s show and/or opinion column on how VP views win-win deals. Spoiler alert: he’s uninterested.
McFaul: It’s been clear from the beginning of the second Trump administration that the Putin strategy was to engage with them—Witkoff in particular—to make this about win-win economic transactions… The Russian strategy is to say, "Work with us and we will do multibillion-dollar deals with you all."

It always Ukraine who needs to do something, to withdraw somewhere, to give something up, to accept the situation and so on and so on. Russians don't need to do anything. Those damn Ukrainian warmongers, who don't want to die quietly!
Kushner on Ukraine:
“President Putin's laid out his line of what he wants to achieve. If Ukraine, you know, wanted to withdraw to that line, then obviously, you know, we have the rest of the deal set up and put together. Ukraine right now does not want to do that.”

Good. So, to paraphrase W’s immortal words, “And soon the guy who’s driven up the price of gasoline will be hearing from us ALL soon!”

Americans have been complaining about gas prices for months, and Trump has made it clear he is tired of listening.

Tens of thousands of people protest in Germany against far-right AfD
About 150,000 demonstrators took to the streets in around 20 cities across Germany on Saturday against the far-right AfD, after the party scored a crushing victory in a state election last week. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) topped the vote in the eastern region of Saxony-Anhalt, and is now seeking to form the first extreme-right state government in Germany since World War II.
