RT, Sputnik Content Officially Banned Across European Union
Russian-backed media RT and Sputnik are officially banned in the European Union as of today, as the bloc hardens its stance against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Liberals united with life-long CIA operatives to celebrate a foreign government's blacklist of US citizens and foreign leaders (e.g. Lula) decreed to be "Russian propagandists" for criticizing US foreign policy: can't think of a better symbol of modern-day liberalism than this:
Watching them so brazenly re-define how they have always used "recession," and then Paul Krugman adding it doesn't matter if we're in one or not (it doesn't matter for him), all to protect the Biden WH, is a new level of audacity no matter how low your opinion of them already is:

August 16 is the day Wyoming holds its primary, and if polling data holds up, it will be one of the saddest nights for American liberals in many months if not longer. It is likely to mark the end of the political career of Mother Jones' Hero of 2021.

And here's the part of the discussion on *why* the Cheneys -- with the Bushes -- hate Trump so much. It's not because they're noble patriots who cherish the rule of law (😱).
It's because Trump ran - and won - denouncing their neoconservative worldview, now the Dem worldview:

Note how often Democrats demand not only the censorship of their political opponents -- that's everyday -- but also their arrest by FBI and prosecution by DOJ.

One of the most overlooked political changes in the past 5 years is how much Dems have come to worship, revere and trust the US Security State - especially FBI and CIA - while Republicans regard these agencies with extreme distrust and contempt.
Dems love the US Security State.
Dems love the US Security State.
I should note: it's not just FBI and CIA that are wildly popular with Democrats, while those US Security State agencies are regarded with skepticism by Republicans.
It's also true of the Dept of Homeland Security, created by Bush/Cheney in 2002. Dems revere it; GOP does not.

This unhinged NYT article and the cheering of it by the usual establishment mavens perfectly illustrates both the idiocy and utility of blaming US social strife on a few dozen Russians bots in St. Petersburg.
