Uh oh. Donny’s appetite turned from voracious to queasy. Not quite up to six Big Macs or two buckets of KFC. He’s remembering what Kamala told him, “Putin will eat you for lunch!”

I knew who he was when he had the Art Deco on the Bonwit Teller building, which was to go to MMOMA, destroyed. To elevate that cheapskate to the presidency and watch him wreck the Oval Office may be the “least” of his crimes, but is no less criminal.

Smart people knew that 10 years ago. Others continue to get drunk on the kool aid!

Smart OLD folks have known that since at least the 1980s, and some of us thought it was just soooo cute when he talked about running for US President some day.

Even if the split is real, and indeed permanent, it's probably going to work more in the favor of democracy because while Putin might decide to give Trump the ol' heave-ho, in the long run all that is likely to do is collapse the MAGA base since they don't follow the GOP; they follow Trump. Ergo, if he goes there's sure to be a civil war amongst their various factions, which could well distract them from doing more stupid shit just long enough for the democrats to grow a spine and set about cleaning house.

I think there’s a great chance you’re right. I definitely lean in the direction you do, Judy felt it was necessary to talk about alternatives that would be…less good

It’s so refreshing to hear the unvarnished truth about Trump, Putin, and the despicable GOP. Just please before you hit “send” get someone to proofread for your many typos. Details matter.

Trump doesn't actually like Putin ( he doesn't like anyone). He depended on Putin for financing his projects after he'd gone through 5 bankruptcies and the banks backed off. Now that he's raking in millions every day as president he logically has no further need of Russian financing and is more interested in being the man that ends the Russia/Ukraine war (which Putin doesn't want to end until he's taken all of Ukraine).

I just commented the same thing. Let's get our facts straight! It's Murkowski who voted Yes on the bill.

This is dated 6/30/25. I was going to say the same thing, but maybe they wrote it before the final vote. 👹

What to do about these narcissistic psychopaths who enjoy hurting people and getting wealthy at our expense?

Get involved and active with a democracy group, like Indivisible, the ACLU, Democracy Docket, and local organizations, too. There's great grassroots organizing happening, and it's building a resilient, savvy, and strategic democracy community opposing Trump, and the other traitors, bigots, and grifters in the regime, Congress, and SCOTUS. Together, we make a powerful resistance that can defeat Trump and the authoritarian agenda.

Yes! And boycott the corporate pigs who actively kiss TACO’s hindquarters for tax cuts whenever possible. Amazon for starters!

They all must go. I have always known but what she did that will not save Alaskans. She just gave away native land. It gives you the right to be your worst selves, to look away, fight each other, instead of help us fight together, and we need all the help we can to get the boot from our necks. We are raw meat waiting to be picked off and this just made it worst.

Her slim measures will not save us. It will not save us at all. We are the United States, not red states and blue states, United. For surely we shall hang together, our we will each hang separately ~Ben Franklin

Thing is tRump was preforming for the US media trying to get the US focus from Russia/Ukraine to Israel/Iran with Bebi's attack on Iran at about the start of G7. That was the whole reason for tRump leaving earlier and at the same time Putin saw what was happening to his arm supply partner he made public that Israel was not to destroy Iran's nukes and put in motion plans to move them. So the three were out of sync. And Trump seeing his approvals drop had to do something quick and that was the mobilization of the buster bombing. Since then he chastised Bebi to the world to get a ceasefire to kiss up to Putin. Further he has lifted sanctions on Russia while the US is distracted by BBB. So I think Putin has accepted this gift since Ukraine without US assistance is fighting a winning strategy and his loses are being exposed to the Russian people and even the Russian army is turning on itself. So whatever help he can get from tRump is his best bet. Funny thing, the GOP BBB would not pass if they understood how exposed the venerability of our troops are. So the cards are Western Europe with Canada and Ukraine and some of the Baltic against Iran, Russia and North Korea and this last group has control of tRump as a good enough asset to keep the US busy. Bebi has a thumb on tRump also and I think Bebi understands he's in the same court with tRump. One thing is certain, if we have an incident and we lose a lot a troops this little balance will break and I am not certain what will happen. The war hawks are not very stable either.
