As much as he hates (or indifferent) to the Royals, John is British to the core. Doing the "Keep Calm and Carry On" when under fire thing with aplomb, no shtick!

Better, the Senate just passed its border/foreign aid bill that includes another $60 billion for Ukraine.
That’s $114 billion for their war efforts this year. Do you think bankrupt international pariah Russia has anywhere near that much to spend, or the high tech weaponry to purchase that Ukraine has access to? (Hint- the entire Russian gdp in ‘22 was barely $2.2 trillion) Only North Korea is selling Russia weapons and ammo…what a sad position to be in. 😂

But sure, @bobknight33 , I’m sure you’re right, Russia is just about to turn the tides of war and start winning. Maybe their friend, MAGA, will block that funding for Trump and Putin, then they’ll only have $54 billion.

Piers is kinda douchey as usual, but Jay is great. They talk about pretty much everything old and recent.

I much prefer Iceland’s recent Eurovision entries like

Nope - not that much traffic these days...

I took a break from social media a few years ago. Life's much simpler now!

Videosift needs to integrate with a popular chat platform - or several. Discord, Reddit, something like that. They all have their downsides, but if we want to keep Videosift alive, we've got to plug into the mainstream.

You call yourself a Republican?!

You call yourself an American?!

You're a god damn Putin sympathizer. You bootlicking communist f0ckface!

F1ck Russia.
F2ck communism.
F3ck you!

NATO expansion will continue until you fascists bastards are gone for good.

Every penny we spend is stopping morons like you and the piece of shit country you love so much, Russia. Worth it! Raise my taxes if it means that shit hole burns into the ground.

Слава Україні!
Slava Ukraini!
Glory to America!
Glory to NATO!

Media(and even some of the vocal scientists trying to urge action) have been guilty of overstating confidence in climate modelling. Which is more or less what they are agreeing on in the video.

The IPCC summary of state of the art climate modelling, and virtually ALL published papers on various climate models agree that the unknown and poorly modelled aspects of our climate are larger than the known influence of CO2.

That is to say, the physical modelling largely operates on energy in and out from the Sun and then playing out how changes in that energy balance operate. The thing is, that energy budget is enormous, and the number of factors at play are even larger and dynamic to make it more fun. The influence of CO2 in the energy budget is one of the relatively straightforward elements, and so we've got a pretty good and confident assessment of how much it impacts energy balance. The problem with climate modelling, is that the CO2 impact is smaller than the errors and unknowns in many other factors in the model including clouds.

Which is all saying that our climate modelling is hard, and even though we know CO2 changes are pushing the energy balance up, our modelling of the energy balance is still not good enough to accurately predict energy balance changes. That means we've got a giant 'all other things being equal' qualifier on model projections because if cloud behaviour changes based on temperature, we KNOW that our errors there are larger than the influence of CO2.

Modellers have been trying to draw attention to this nuance, but it's been deemed inconvenient to persuading the public to act and thus ignored by many pushing for action. The almost inevitable side effect though is that over time the reality of the models inaccuracy will play out and the public is gonna be asking why 'science' was wrong.

It’s probably even much worse.

I don't think he brought much new to this, but the original is absolutely astounding and he didn't butcher it, so it's still a great song.

😂The financial monitor for Trump’s finances found another $50 million tax fraud. Just one of dozens upon dozens of frauds, misstatements under oath, illegitimate business practices, and intentional non compliance with the law and direct orders from courts. He got an F- and the monitor said the frauds have continued through the day she submitted her report. This is the report Engoron will use to determine how much to find the Trump org for persistent fraud. Hold onto your hat! 😂

The report included one massive fraud scheme from when he defaulted on loans for the Chicago tower to the tune of $50 million (most of his lenders don’t get paid back, despite his claims they do). The lenders were then blackmailed into “forgiving” those loans on the Chicago tower after he defaulted and he sued them! He then created a shell company to hold the $50 million he had just been “given” (that’s a way to avoid taxes on loan forgiveness, otherwise it’s income). The problem is that shell company then secretly “loaned” that $50 million to Trump and listed him as a bad risk but took no collateral, it was not repayed, seemingly “forgiven”.
Unfortunately for Trump, the Trump Organization (that controlled ALL of Trump’s businesses including the shell companies) has said there is no record of any $48-$50 million loan to Trump, it never happened…but he did personally take the money, it’s just not a loan.
That’s more tax fraud, more bank fraud, and likely wire fraud too. Probably a half dozen felonies for Trump personally in just that scheme. More cases for Trump just keep coming…while more lawyers keep going. Is it just the two idiot bimbos now? Seems like it.

So let’s recap…Hunter Biden didn’t pay his taxes for a few years and owed $1.5 million which he paid but is still being prosecuted.
In this one tax fraud scheme, Trump evaded paying taxes on $50 million, a minimum of another $15 million in taxes he evaded through fraud for at least a decade. He should get at least 10 times the sentence Hunter gets.

Recall, if he’s telling the truth about the value of Mar A Lago, he has evaded over $700 million in taxes to Florida alone on one single property. Trump is the biggest tax fraud in American history…and he’s caught….again.

Today’s bonus- The recent IG reports prove the Trump White House was a total pill mill, handing out hard core drugs without prescription, evaluation, or often even a patient’s name, handing out ungodly amounts of four opioid pain medications: fentanyl, hydrocodone, morphine and oxycodone, and dozens of other scheduled prescription medications like Provigil handed out by the bottle as “parting gifts” for visitors to the whitehouse…a total free for all at the pharmacy run by Trump’s “best people”. Over 2/3 of the patients weren’t even eligible for treatment by the office, but were handed bags full of schedule 1 narcotics for the asking.

You are actually correct, but not how you think. Russia is now losing the war IN RUSSIA, and has lost the support of Russians themselves, with major fires being set by Russians in Russia to protest drafting raids where police just come and take hundreds away to the front, heat turned off in prisons to force prisoners to choose between dying frozen and shot in Ukraine or dying frozen and starving in prison, and major infrastructure targets hit by Ukraine deep inside Russia.
Russia is being supplied ammunition by N Korea…have you seen it?! Charges 1/3 full of loose propellants, shells misshapen and unbalanced. You can’t aim when you don’t know how much propellant you are using or how the shell will fly! Their army is gone, they’re now conscripting warehouse workers. The state is bankrupt and is going dark and cold. You think they’re winning?
If we continue sending ammunition, the Ukrainian war is all but over. Russia is a total loss, all because of Biden’s support for our allies, freedom, and democracy. NATO is stronger, Russia is near collapse.



If it becomes a loss for democracy and a win for Russia, it will be 100% because of MAGA abandoning them to Putin in an effort to hurt Biden and distract from their disgusting sex crimes (Gaetz admitted he ousted McCarthy because he wouldn’t kill the ethics investigation of Gaetz, others went along because McCarthy kept the government open).
America, Ukraine, and the entire world knows it, no question. MAGA is anti democracy, that’s clear to all.

Uh oh….the Matt Gaetz child sex trafficking, drugging, and raping investigations have ramped up, requesting the sealed DOJ records from the Bill Bar investigation that ended without explanation despite his cohort being prosecuted.
Enjoy his sexual history being publicized and used to show what child mollesters and protectors of known child molesters MAGA all are. No surprise since you are led by a serial rapist and well known incestuous pederast.

Trump’s last day in his rape trial was another disaster…showing up late, Habba arguing with the judge and being threatened with prison for contempt, trying and failing to introduce evidence in closing, Trump walking out during closing (all of which show disrespect to the jury and of the system). The best argument given in closing was that Carrol benifits by having her reputation destroyed and receiving multiple death and rape threats daily for years and should be thanking her rapist and abuser because she got a few followers online (so it’s a wash?)…I don’t think that went over well.
Trump was incredibly stupid to post that he will not stop defaming her ever while on trial for defaming her…of course that was shown to the jury right before they went to decide how much to find him to make him stop.
She has asked for $24 million in actual damages and severe punative damages, don’t be surprised if they’re 10x actual damages. Remember, Trump claims to be worth near 10 billion…so it wouldn’t be outrageous if they award a few billion, 50% of his claimed net worth. Fun fact, he will have to post a cash bond in that amount just to file an appeal ! 😂

Wishful thinking comrade. твоя мать - твоя сестра



So, Biden has decimated the Russian economy and military, driven them out of much of Ukraine, hit them hard in Russia proper, sunk their feet, and turned the world against them, all without a single U.S. soldier going to battle. Trump unconditionally handed over Crimea like he did Afghanistan and OKed the next invasion for his handler and benefactor, Putin.

As much as I hate to give Morgan credit for anything, he’s on the right side here and stirring up “trouble” is the right move.
How quickly the capitulating thugs cave when exposed to the light of day. Before Elton could comment they tucked tail and reversed themselves.

I only hope some CCP thugs show up on Friday trying to intimidate and get lynched by 500 unruly soccer hooligans, then drawn and quartered on live stream. Keep your socialist government control ideals at home.
