π·πΊβοΈChechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov mocked the leaders of the EU in a Sunday Telegram post, suggesting harsh mirror measures to possible sanctions against Russia. Those include:
πΈ closing the Chechen Republic's airspace to EU jets;
πΈ freezing all of Boris Johnson's ruble assets in Chechen banks;
πΈ imposing an embargo on all assets of the UK's oligarchs in Achkhoy-Martan and, if the situation escalates, in Samashki (a rural district in the Chechen Republic);
πΈadmitting that left-hand traffic is a "heinous relic of the Middle Ages";
πΈand (this might be the most frightening one!) finally acknowledging that "there is no English tea" βοΈ
Kadyrov set February 31 as the deadline for the EU leaders to walk back on their "sassy" statements, otherwise, the damage will be done

π² A NOLA congressman has the internet dumbfounded by a cryptic tweet aimed at young folks -- and while some try to figure out what he means ... it's music to others peoples' ears.
U.S. Representative Clay Higgins -- who reps Louisiana's 3rd congressional district -- fired off a bizarre message Sunday ... apparently pissed off at liberals -- but his insult kinda fell flat, because no one really knows what the hell he's even saying.
Higgins wrote, "You millennial leftists who never lived one day under nuclear threat can now reflect upon your woke sky. You made quite a non-binary fuss to save the world from intercontinental ballistic tweets."
Even Dictionary.com got in on the fun; directly responding to Rep. Higgins by asking the obvious. They wrote, "Weβre not entirely sure what this tweet is supposed to mean, and weβre literally the dictionary."

π President Joe Biden claimed the COVID-19 pandemic has made it psychologically difficult for Americans to feel happy despite their improving economic circumstances.
During an extensive interview with Brian Tyler Cohen that aired Saturday, the progressive host asked Biden to address frustration that some Democrats might feel about the party's agenda not moving forward quickly enough despite Democrats controlling both Congress and the White House.
'I think it's hard for people to get their arms around the fact that we have the fastest growing economy in 40 years,' said Biden.
