On April 17, 1938, in Akmesdzhyt (Simferopol), a Soviet military court sentenced 36 of them to death in a single sitting. Six years later, Stalin deported the entire Crimean Tatar nation from the peninsula. Historians call the 1938 executions its preamble.

Ex Trump Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews: "Advisors were telling him he lost. I think Trump has always been a broken man, but losing in 2020 fair & square to Biden permanently broke his brain… He's the weakest, most thin-skinned baby of all time."
The points Miller makes in his video are common from abusers. He recorded her. He calls her crazy. He says she was nice to him. He says she never went to a doctor. Anyone who is a survivor of DV has heard all of it.

Adam Kinzinger@adamkinzinger.substack.com · 3d agoTotal U.S. appropriations RELATED to Ukraine ~$195 billion OF THAT: military/security assistance to Ukraine ~$68 billion committed The $68 billion is more the direct assistance, the remaining $130 billion was spent to replace old weapons that were going to expire anyway, that we sent to Ukraine.
Only $68 billion over almost 5 years has gone to Ukraine… 1.5 percent. Bottom line: the US has only spent a fraction of our total defense spending to destroy one of our main enemies. /END
