The cost of maintaining TWO militaries: the armed services and his secret police. Immigration funding, if I remember correctly, exceeds most countries' militaries, and that doesn't go away in Vought's nonsensical proposal. Lord, let it be d.o.a. Our country needs a Congress, not juvenile sycophants.

The fact that Zelensky has not told so many people to fuck off who more than deserved it over the years it is a testament to his character, patience and leadership.

Oooooh, I needed that!
I don't make pretense of being a regular reader of the Kyiv Independent, but this is some good journalism right here. The fires are burning everywhere, I realize, but this one matters too.

I’m a 71-year-old white guy – born, reared and residing today in Montgomery, Alabama – and I’m not the only Christian down this way who knows this is true. Keep the faith, yall.
While I appreciate intellectuals' efforts to understand this nightmare, maybe he's just a lying, cheating, spoiled SOB who needed his ass kicked several more times than it ever was in his gilded youth. The GOP loves him because he's a bigot.
