The 2024 election was a basically a test of America's survival instincts. It did not pass.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

Since I wrote this piece last month, Trump has called for the hanging of six Democrats who urged the military to follow the law. He's called a reporter "piggy."
No rationality. No impulse control.
When are news outlets going to get serious and declare that the president is out of his mind?

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

It’s an all hands on deck. Different tribunals must be assigned different investigations. T&C for the worst crimes (DOGE, ICE, etc) The Hague for war crimes (Venezuela and the boat strikes), DOJ for corp bribes, state AGs, Congress committees. Someone must bring logic and coordination to it all.

Everybody involved will need to go to prison and if democrats in congress don’t have the stomach for punishing these people they should just resign now.
DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
