I think that player offing himself is going to be the final straw on this one. I know that's a corrupt community up there, but got damn this whole thing has to be too much even for them. But then again... these types of people have surprised me a ton on what they'll condone in the last decade.

Repeatedly saying "I love watching your kids" right after it was revealed you covered up your adult kid filming their kids' ding dongs in the school locker room was... quite the choice.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) β Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine overnight into Saturday killed at least three people and wounded 17 others, local officials said. In the capital, Kyiv, one person was killed and ten wounded in a ballistic missile attack in the early hours of Saturday, Timur Tkachenko, head of Kyivβs city military administration, said. Three of the wounded were hospitalized, according to Ukraineβs State Emergency Service. A fire broke out in a non-residential building in one location, while debris from intercepted missiles fell in an open area at another site, damaging windows in nearby buildings, the emergency service wrote on Telegram. βExplosions in the capital. The city is under ballistic attack,β Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on Telegram during the onslaught. In the Dnipropetrovsk region, two people were killed and seven wounded, acting regional Gov. Vladyslav Haivanenko said, adding that apartment buildings, private homes, an outbuilding, a shop and at least one vehicle were damaged in the strikes. Ukraine's Air Force said Russia launched nine missiles and 62 drones, of which air defenses intercepted four missiles and 50 drones. In Russia, the countryβs defense ministry said its air defenses shot down 121 Ukrainian drones over Russia overnight. The attacks came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the United States on Friday to expand sanctions on Russian oil from two companies to the whole sector, and appealed for long-range missiles to hit back at Russia. Zelenskyy was in London for talks with two dozen European leaders who have pledged military help to shield his country from future Russian aggression if a ceasefire stops the more than three-year war. The meeting hosted by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer aimed to step up pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding momentum to recent measures that have included a new round of sanctions from the United States and European countries on Russiaβs vital oil and gas export earnings. The talks also addressed ways of helping protect Ukraineβs power grid from Russiaβs almost daily drone and missile attacks as winter approaches, enhancing Ukrainian air defenses, and supplying Kyiv with longer-range missiles that can strike deep inside Russia. Zelenskyy has urged the U.S. to send Tomahawk missiles, an idea U.S. President Donald Trump has flirted with.

Putin envoy Dmitriev says US, Ukraine and Russia close to 'diplomatic solution' on war By Gleb Bryanski and Jasper Ward October 24, 20254:37 PM MDTUpdated 9 hours ago The head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund Kirill Dmitriev speaks after the U.S.-Russia talks in Riyadh The head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund Kirill Dmitriev speaks to members of the delegation and journalists after the U.S.-Russia talks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, February 18, 2025. REUTERS/Maxim Shemetov Purchase Licensing Rights MOSCOW/WASHINGTON, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Kirill Dmitriev, Russian President Vladimir Putin's special envoy for investment and economic cooperation, said on Friday he believes his country, the United States and Ukraine are close to a diplomatic solution to end Russia's war in Ukraine. Speaking to CNN after arriving in Washington for talks with U.S. officials, Dmitriev said that a meeting between Donald Trump and Putin had not been cancelled, as the U.S. president described it, and that the two leaders will likely meet at a later date. The planned summit was put on hold on Tuesday, as Russia's rejection of an immediate ceasefire cast a cloud over attempts at negotiations. Trump said he cancelled the planned meeting with Putin in Budapest because of a lack of progress in diplomatic efforts toward ending the war and a sense that the timing was off. However, Dmitriev on Friday said, "I believe Russia and the U.S. and Ukraine are actually quite close to a diplomatic solution." Dmitriev in his comments did not offer details of what this would entail. European nations are working with Ukraine on a new proposal for a ceasefire in the war along current battle lines, European diplomats told Reuters this week, mainly incorporating ideas already under discussion while pressing to keep the United States in a central role. "It's a big move by President Zelenskiy to already acknowledge that it's about battle lines," Dmitriev said. "You know, his previous position was that Russia should leave completely - so actually, I think we are reasonably close to a diplomatic solution that can be worked out." Russia launched its large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Trump had announced last week that he and Putin would meet soon in Hungary to try to bring an end to the war. But Putin has been unwilling to consider concessions. Russia has long demanded that Ukraine agree to cede more territory before any ceasefire. Dmitriev's visit to the United States for a long-planned meeting takes place against the backdrop of newly announced U.S. sanctions on two of Russia's biggest oil companies - a move aimed at pressing Putin to end the war. Despite the move, Dmitriev said dialogue between Russia and the United States will continue. "It is certainly only possible if Russia's interests are taken into account and treated with respect," Dmitriev earlier told Reuters. Dmitriev declined to say who he was meeting and predicted that the U.S. oil sanctions would backfire. "They will only lead to gasoline costing more at American gas stations," Dmitriev said. The U.S. news outlet Axios reported that Dmitriev would meet Trump special envoy Steve Witkoff in Miami on Saturday. The Russian state TASS news agency quoted Dmitriev as saying he would also meet other people who he did not name. Reporting by Gleb Bryanski and Jasper Ward; Editing by Andrew Osborn and Will Dunham

Ukraineβs βCoalition of the Willingβ Has the Wind at Its Back Britain hosted a meeting of European leaders to discuss bolstering support for Kyiv as winter approaches. By Mark Landler Reporting from London Oct. 24, 2025Updated 3:37 p.m. ET Europe mustered a spirited show of support for Ukraine on Friday, as Britain assembled the βcoalition of the willingβ to promote a boycott of Russian oil and gas, a possible loan to Ukraine using Russian sovereign assets and accelerated arms shipments. Seeking to capitalize on yet another shift in President Trumpβs view of the war, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine joined Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain and leaders from Denmark, the Netherlands and NATO in London. Twenty other leaders joined by videoconference, including Japanβs new prime minister, Sanae Takaichi β the first time a Japanese leader has taken part in these sessions. For the moment, Europe has the wind at its back. Mr. Trumpβs decision to impose sanctions on Russiaβs two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, was a striking shift in his position after a contentious meeting with Mr. Zelensky a week ago. The European Union followed with its own latest round of sanctions, while also pledging to continue funding Ukraineβs financial and military needs. Britain, one of Ukraineβs most enthusiastic backers, announced that it would speed the delivery of an extra 140 air-defense missiles after production had ramped up faster than expected. Mr. Starmer praised Mr. Trump for the sanctions, saying it was an important step in the campaign to pressure Russia. βWe must now maintain this pressure,β he said at a news conference after the meeting. President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia βcontinues to stall and play for time,β Mr. Starmer added. βWe are determined to act now, to dial up the pressure on Putin, and finally bring him to the negotiating table in good faith.β Mr. Zelensky said Russia was carrying out a βcampaign of terror against our energy system,β tormenting the Ukrainian people as winter approaches. βRussiaβs goal hasnβt changed: They want to break us,β he said, standing alongside Mr. Starmer and the other leaders. Britain framed this meeting as an effort to fortify Ukraine for the winter fighting months. It and France jointly lead the so-called coalition of the willing, which Mr. Starmer and President Emmanuel Macron started in March. Its prospects have waxed and waned, in part because of Mr. Trumpβs erratic views β he pivots between pressuring Mr. Zelensky and criticizing Mr. Putin β and in part because of Europeβs own fitful struggle for unity. While the European Union followed the Trump administration in imposing energy sanctions on Russia, European leaders were unable to agree this week on a plan to use frozen Russian assets to finance a huge loan to Ukraine. Belgium, which holds the bulk of the assets, voiced concerns about legal liability. Mr. Starmer pressed his fellow leaders to move ahead with the loan plan, though Britain, having left the European Union in 2020, no longer exerts much influence on negotiations in Brussels. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark said the countries still had to resolve technical questions about the assets, but she hoped there would be a decision on the matter by Christmas Eve. Reflecting Europeβs sometimes ambivalent attitude toward Russia, Ms. Frederiksen acknowledged that Europeβs decision to boycott Russian oil companies might have come too late. But she said, βIt doesnβt mean we havenβt done anything during this war when it comes to Russian oil.β Before joining Mr. Starmer for a one-on-one meeting in Downing Street, Mr. Zelensky met with King Charles III at Windsor Castle, west of London. The king has met the president three times this year in what is viewed as a symbolic show of British solidarity. Britain has frequently played the role of soothing ally as Mr. Zelensky navigates the crosscurrents of Mr. Trump. In February, after an explosive meeting with the American president in the Oval Office, Mr. Zelenskyβs first stop was London, where he and Mr. Starmer began devising a plan to repair the breach with the White House. Once again, Britain was a quick destination for Mr. Zelensky after his tense meeting with the president in Washington a week ago. Mr. Trump, fresh off what he described as a positive phone conversation with Mr. Putin, piled new pressure on Mr. Zelensky to hand over territory to Russia to end the hostilities. The difference this time was that Mr. Trump quickly reversed himself, scrapping plans to meet Mr. Putin in person, though he did accede to the Russian leaderβs request to not send Tomahawk long-range missiles to Ukraine. Then, on Wednesday, Mr. Trump announced the sanctions on the Rosneft and Lukoil. Mr. Putin on Thursday called the move βan unfriendly act,β and said that while the sanctions would hurt Russiaβs economy, Moscow would never make any concessions under pressure. The other leaders attending Fridayβs meeting joined Mr. Starmer in heaping praise on Mr. Trump for that decision. NATOβs secretary-general, Mark Rutte, who also met with the president recently in Washington, said, βItβs up to each ally to decide which weapons they want to deliver to Ukraine.β He noted that although Mr. Trump had ruled out Tomahawk missiles, the United States was still supplying a βwide range of weapons.β While European leaders try to keep up the economic and diplomatic pressure on Russia, their military commanders are continuing to put together plans to secure Ukraine in the event that Russia agrees to a cease-fire and peace negotiation. βWe, as the military, have to plan and think about and develop something which can then be used in a reasonable manner by the political masters,β Lt. Gen. Alexander Sollfrank, the commander of the German armyβs joint force command, said in an interview earlier this month. A creative, well-designed military plan, General Sollfrank said, could function as a βkind of leverageβ for diplomatic efforts to end the war. Steven Erlanger contributed reporting from Berlin. Mark Landler is the London bureau chief of The Times, covering the United Kingdom, as well as American foreign policy in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

I have no idea how common it is, but my wife bills her criminal cases, up to and including murder, by the hour. Some are court appointed, most are not. Well, I guess she sometimes charges a flat rate for first time DWI's and trucker speeding tickets and such, if the clients are of, shall we say, more limited means. Regarding bail: I think she basically agrees with you. She is currently representing a man accused of murder. Based on the specific facts of the case which I'm not going to go into, he presents a zero risk to the community, and a very very small risk of flight. Someone sitting in jail is losing their job and perhaps losing their house, their kids aren't getting to school on time if at all, their elderly parents aren't getting taken care of, etc etc etc.
