Ukraine needs permission from no-one to use its own weapons to prevent Russia from bombing Ukrainian schools, hospitals, and residences. Bannon knows this. The ł

Nordlinger nails it! My respect for Ukraine is boundless. What a historic injustice that the western world, especially the U.S., didn't provide the support they needed to win and preserve their sovereignty. Americans' missing sense of the value of freedom and democracy is put to shame by these brave defenders of their country.

Slave Ukraine! Zelenskyy was correct in not confiding his plan in Taco. Had he done so, they would have been posted on every menu board at Taco Bell 🔔

You raise another interesting point. Now that there's mounting evidence that the Orange One can't read, which lucky contestant won the 24/7 assignment to ghostwrite his tweet rants?

With Trump being so far up Putins ass, I wouldn’t ‘inform’ him either!!!

NEWS THAT MATTERS! I have come to the conclusion, David Muir should have become a carnival barker instead of a news celebrity. For the third night in a row he led his coverage with the Colorado fire bombing - spent 10 minutes on it. That was followed with the Karen Read trial and the Diddy trial, 20 more minutes of meaningless crap! Nothing about atrocities in Gaza, nothing about atrocities in Ukraine, nothing about atrocities from the Trump administration ..... nothing but dribble! It's not World News, it's celebrity news of the lowest common denominator.

Why is this happening, cowards deflect and don't report what is rotting our country from within, the events that matter, Trump's "News Stooges" one and all!! Thank God for The Bulwark!!

Steve Bannon is a disgusting human being and as unpatriotic an American as a citizen can get.

Excellent listen, as always. And the pod with economist Justin Wolfers is a must-hear. You’ll improve your food knowledge and learn the ultimate difference between a briefcase, a bus, and The Big House.

(Go Green! Haha!)

Cheers to the doggies at the lake. Lovely scene.

It's a good thing Ukraine didn't share the attack with Trump, who along with Tulsi Gabbard, would certainly informed Trump's BFF Vlad about it.

My view is that if the complicated concept can't be explained in a way I can understand it, the person doing the explaining doesn't understand it themself. The discussion of the economics of our current situation with Justin Wolfers was brilliant - and understandable. Thanks so much!

Steve Bannon can cry all he wants about the indignity of the WH not being notified in advance of the Ukrainian airstrikes into Russia. Why should they even consider telling Trump anything. He humiliated Zelensky in front of the whole world, and now he should be punished again because Bannon is affronted? MAGA world is filled with evil idiots!

Re the FEMA head's "comment", I think you meant AYFKM. Also, as a famous radio actor used to say (I think in the 40's which I'm pleased to say was before my time) - "Tain't funny, McGee."
