locked tomb modern au but its us politics. john is a congressman or governor or even president or smthn and the mithraeum team is his political staff. this is the worst timeline btw

#veep watching has got me politics brained but I mean this so seriously I think this would make them somehow even worse #augustine of course is chief of staff and we hate him for it #mercy would be in a some director role and I'm not afraid to admit that this is a uniquely sexy concept to me. womens wrongs etc #ianthe and harrow would be aides of some type and #hear me out I think harrow has the short tempered extremely type A and vaguely evil vibe that is needed to succeed in federal politics #eskildit posts tlt #the locked tomb #tlt us politics au

I'm not a psychologist or a politician or anything approaching an expert about literally anything except a few specific video games but I feel like so many people wouldn't be agonizing over the moral implications of one (1) vote if we as the less-than-uppest-of-upper-crust had the ability to meaningfully affect change in ways other than 'spend money/do not spend money, vote for the red or blue tie'

#spitblaze says things #im aware its significantly more complicated. but i think this is whats driving a not insignificant amount of posting #biden has been doing a godawful job with foreign policy. i am under no illusion that trump will do better #you can still just THREATEN to withhold your vote. i get why some might not want to but its an option. #every presidential election since 2008 has been the most important election in american history. im tired. #idk man. i havent been super engrossed in politics since high school but ive never seen this much agonizing over whether or not #pwople should vote like. at all #personally im of the opinion that you should. its a good thing to do. but you should also exercise your power to put pressure on politician #and threatening to not vote for them is a pretty good way to do that #i gotta stop posting abour serious shit. but maybe id do it less if shit sucked less. so here we are #free palestine. if federal level politics is driving you insane then pay more attention to local level stuff. join a mutual aid org #and donate esims and food money to gaza. do things besides agonizing about november

Can we have a Menagerie AU, but its Spock and La'an abducting Chris together and stealing the Enterprise to bring him to Una whose been exiled to an Illyrian colony...

[see notes for my feelings on the Menagerie ep]

#menagerie AU #I hate how ST dealt with Pike's situation #the man deserved more #especially more than ending up on a planet that literally tried to enslave him and 2 members of his crew #whyyyyyyyy does he 'want' to go back to a woman he met for a day (or two?) a decade ago????!!! #If the menagerie needs to happen let it be this way #You could still have a court martial because Spock 1) stole the flagship of the fleet 2) abducted an admiral #3) went to a Federation outlawed species' planet and probably aided and imbetted use of Illyrian medical tech #because please #the illyrians at least must have the tech to give Chris some use of his previous communication skills #Star Trek SNW #christopher pike #una chin riley

live view of me after gilgamesh dropped off my daily morning coffee and went “btw key bridge collapsed” with such casualty and left

#Baltimore #an ENTIRE BRIDGE #you know this morning the healthy harbor initiative people woke up checked the news and just went back to bed. what else can you do #this is honestly one of those in disbelief terrible things that have happened. #not that it helps the families of those on the bridge at the time but thank god it was 1am and not rush hour #but its insane how far reaching the aftershocks of this will play out #7th busiest port in the US and number one in a lot of imports such as cars… #all the cruise ships are stuck in the harbor #traffic for people coming in/out is going to suck now that they can go tunnel only #and transporting certain combustible goods is now going to have to take 1hr+ detour since they cant go in the tunnel #my mother who works for a boating company in Annapolis has boats stuck in the harbor #my fingers are sorta crossed that hopefully we’ll get federal aid for this? idk man 😬

News of money previously given to House Speaker Mike Johnson's congressional campaign by Russian nationals has re-emerged after the Republican rejected a $95 billion foreign aid bill passed in the Senate.

In 2018, a group of Russians were able to donate to Johnson's bid for the Louisiana seat he eventually won as the money was funneled through the Texas-based American Ethane company.

While American Ethane was co-founded by American John Houghtaling, at the time it was 88% owned by three Russian nationals—Konstantin Nikolaev, Mikhail Yuriev, and Andrey Kunatbaev. Nikolaev is known to be a top ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A spokesperson for Johnson previously assured in 2018 that the campaign returned the money that was given to them by American Ethane once it was "made aware of the situation." There was no indication that Johnson's campaign team willfully broke federal law, which makes it illegal for a campaign to knowingly accept donations from a foreign-owned corporation, a foreign national, or any company owned or controlled by foreign nationals.

A number of social media users have now brought up the campaign money amid Johnson's opposition to the long-debated foreign aid bill, which would send $60 billion to Ukraine as the country continues to fight off Russia's invasion.

In a press conference on February 14, Johnson said he would not bring the bill recently passed by the Senate back from a House vote and that the "Republican-led House will not be jammed or forced into passing" the foreign aid bill.

The same day, Ukraine-based blog Fake Off posted on X, formerly Twitter: "US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson received campaign contributions from American Ethane, a company 88% owned by three Russians. Now, do you understand why he was categorically against the aid to Ukraine?"

Another social media user added, while sharing a clip of Johnson's press conference: "Astonishing that the Speaker of the House for the United States Government accepts money from Russia. Konstantin Nikolaev, Mikhail Yuriev, and Andrey Kunatbaev own 88% of American Ethane."

Johnson's office has been contacted for comment via email.

WHO IS KONSTANTIN NIKOLAEV?

The 52-year-old is a billionaire who previously served as minister of transport for the Russian Federation.

Nikolaev and his two partners currently own a third of Globaltrans, Russia's biggest private rail transport operator, and he previously worked in railroad freight and port businesses.

He is also a part owner of Tula Cartridge Works, which has been supplying ammunition for Russian forces during its invasion of Ukraine.

In 2019, Forbes listed the oligarch's net worth at $1.2 billion.

Nikolaev is also known for being a financial backer of Maria Butina, a Russian citizen who was sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2019 after admitting to acting as an unregistered foreign agent to infiltrate conservative political groups and influence foreign policy to Russia's benefit before and after the 2016 election.

The money that Nikolaev and the other two Russian nationals managed to donate to Johnson's 2018 campaign was also brought up after the Republican was elected House Speaker last October.

"Putin pal Konstantin Nikolaev, who handled Russian spy Maria Butina, was also the principal stockholder in American Ethane Co. when they donated over $37,000 to Mike Johnson's election campaign. Does anyone else think that might be a problem?" posted X user @Davegreenidge57.
