Moscow Mitch McConnell called Biden's sanctions "in the tepid category" after he UNDID SANCTIONS on Russia just so he could do business with an oligarch--who predictably reneged on building an aluminum plant which was functionally a bribe in Mitch's backyard.

Not only is McConnell a duplicitous waste trying to claim Biden's sanctions are the problem, he's got the gall to deflect, downplay or refuse to criticize Trump's fawning justifications for Putin's Nazi-esque expansionism at the same time.

He's one of the most vile ticks ever to infest D.C. and he has a lot of company.

@Heimdall

I am concerned about open war and sad for the people of Ukraine and the Russians who will be forced to suffer the consequences of their horrible "leader".

I'm sick over it.

Of the 115 justices on the Supreme Court since its creation in 1789, 108 have been white men. It is extremely important to start having a Supreme Court that looks more like people in the country and has a wider range of relevant experience.

I think we will see more educational diversity down the road but 2 Harvard degrees will make the Republicans who might try and claim she's not qualified look ridiculous and ideally shut up.

@TonyStark She is exceptionally qualified.

Then again, Princeton- & Harvard-educated Ted Cruz, double-Harvard-educated Tom Cotton, and Vanderbilt/UVA Law/Oxford- educated John Kennedy think elite educations are bad.

@MariaHill

Republicans hate Ivy League educations when someone who's not a right wing nut has one.

This makes sense as a resson but it's morally wrong.

The HBO series referenced is well done in its explanation of what happened at Chernobyl. Some of the series is hard to watch, but the explanation for what happened there is worth the time.

Not to be pointing fingers, but the Soviet Union did not do a 5-star job their first time managing the plant, so I wouldn't give their assessment this time much weight.

The exclusion zone surrounding the Chernobyl nuclear power plant still exists and is still heavily contaminated with caesium-137, strontium-90, americium-241, plutonium-238, and plutonium-239. Plutonium particles are the most toxic ones. The soil in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone also contains elevated levels of Iodine-129, a known cancer agent.

Soldiers occupying an area will sit on the ground, may sleep on the ground and eat on the ground, and soil will get into their equipment.

It's worse than cannon fodder.

Why would Russia want to take Chernobyl?:

Why would Russia want to take Chernobyl?

Few places conjure more foreboding than Chernobyl, the site of the deadly 1986 nuclear disaster.

Really amazing that anyone would believe Putin.

I have no idea why a portion of our media wants to treat Putin like he's normal, but then again they do it with another raving madman.
