1.5 trillion is simply the price he’s prepared to pay for a distraction.

It is somehow fitting that on the anniversary of the Trumpist insurrection, a failed state put the former tyrant of another failed state on trial in a judicial system riddled with deliberate inequities. Happy anniversary.

For someone who clearly sees himself as ‘a player’, Vance gives off a helluva lot of Spiro T. Agnew vibes.

Empires never die in darkness. Their final humiliations are always laid bare in the full glare of day.

I don’t know it, I regret to say.

I am tempted by the madness of king George as my historical analogy, except for the fact the George was always more lucid than Trump is, even when he was ‘mad’.

Trump is the broken centre of a tangle of brokenness intent on breaking all it can grasp. All the breaking accomplished by the concatenation of breakers he has unleashed is merely a spreading reverberation, a perpetual repetition of the original shattering of his broken ego.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Although Machado ultimately said she was dedicating the award to Trump, her acceptance of the prize was an “ultimate sin,” said one of the people.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” this person said.

I don’t think we should discount the possibility that nobody in this Admin, least of all the President, knows what they are doing, or why they’re doing it. There are probably 3 or 4 (and most likely more) factions advancing their own agendas under the guise of Trump’s rapidly advancing senility.

The career reflections of a born chancer. It’s almost as if she profited politically, personally, and financially in a fit of absence of mind. She was moved by self-pity, chased every unworthy resentment, sought new opportunities for cruelty, and bequeathed fascism. Some career.

The humiliation of the United States has already plumbed greater depths than anyone thought possible. And still he sinks it further into degradation.

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."
