These Trump people are so desperate to meet their quota - they do anything.
Do they all want that? Probably not. Still: they must - and will - be held accountable. Only one is immune. And he is losing it anyway.
For far too many, this is no happy Thanksgiving.

Rounds: Senator Shaheen mentioned that Secretary Rubio did make a phone call to us this afternoon. I think he made it very clear that we are the recipients of a proposal that was delivered to one of our representatives. It is not our recommendation. It is not our peace plan.

US foreign policy #Ukraine:
Forcing a country to surrender and call it peace plan because they are losing domestic support for the presidency (and Putin loves it).
If NATO countries accept this to be done to Ukraine, they can just pay the US President their dues.They are vasalls.
Unacceptable.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
