The Trump admin is eager to rid themselves of Ukraine (Lil Marco was just on TV saying people don't care) but the American public's support for Ukraine gets more entrenched as time goes on. A majority favors support "for as long as it takes." www.lawfaremedia.org/article/for-...

It sounds conspiratorial to suggest that Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump behind closed doors to launch an assault on mail-in voting in elections administered by the states, and Trump immediately set about mobilizing federal power to do it… but that is literally Trump’s account of what happened.

BREAKING:

Trump makes clear why he is attacking mail-in voting.

Trump: "If you have mail in voting, you're not going to have many Democrats get elected."

The part of this piece that makes me pause is that cheetolini is hoping to rewrite history and make this “Biden’s war”.

Putin’s Russia attacked Ukraine. This is one sovereign nation attacking another sovereign nation. Neither of which answer to the United States.

This is Putin’s war. Period.

Every single Democrat needs to internalize this:

ICE is a politicized operation that our tax dollars are paying for.

If Dem leaders don’t use every single legislative tool in their disposal to rein this in (ie shutting down this govt over funding) they aren’t doing their jobs.
While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.

Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?

Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

I'll never forget how a longtime friend of mine—a Trump-supporting member of the Republican National Committee!!—called me up after seeing Donald Trump's beaten-dog-like demeanor and posture at Helsinki.

My friend asked, "Do you think Putin really has something on Trump?"

Trump-Panama-Cohn-Murder

In 1980s NYC, Louis Katz’s Uncle Charlie’s glittered under Trump’s mentor, Roy Cohn. Their Fire Island fetes, dripping decadence, hid a murder in ’86. Katz’s Panama flight echoed Trump’s later canal dreams, bound by Cohn’s dark sway. #Trump

Donald Trump has allowed Nvidia to resume limited exports of its artificial-intelligence chips to China in return for a 15% cut of the proceeds for Uncle Sam. In doing so, he has surrendered an important part of America’s national-security strategy for a pittance
Trump wants to command bosses like Xi. He is failing

Just to hammer this in:

I don't know of an example in US history of comparable *in-person humiliation* for a US president. And of course for the country.

Trump will soon realize how visibly he was "owned." In view of the whole world.
Q for those w experience in politics or diplomacy:

Is there *any* other example of a US prez, on US soil, letting a foreign leader control the mic for a very long time, in his own language, w/o consecutive translation, before letting US prez say anything all?

I don't know of any.

Humiliating.

There will be no Nobel Peace Prize for Trump. Trump did not get a deal from Putin today. #Putin is a war criminal indicted by the International World Court and once again #Trump was manipulated by #Putin.No agreement was reached so what happens now?Will Trump finally impose sanctions against Russia?

So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.
REPORTER: President Putin, will you stop killing civilians?

PUTIN: *taps ear*

Where are the Epstein Files? Is Trump in the files? Why is he hiding files Bondi “had on her desk.”

The Democratic response should be —It is very clear Putin knows what is in the Epstein files and can tell Trump to do whatever he wants. Why else would Trump be actively undermining our economy and national security?
