Watching Trump talk about Putin’s intentions for Ukraine is like a Helsinki redux. He just doesn’t get it.

Putin has never changed his demands and they amount to Ukraine surrendering its own country. Trump saying Russia wants Ukraine to succeed was so absurd that even Zelensky had to crack a smile.

Why don’t people simply choose not to get the flu.
Dr. Oz on the "super flu": "Every year there's a flu vaccine. It doesn't always work very well. That's why it's been controversial of late. But like many illnesses, the best news out there is if you can take care of yourself so that when you do end up running into the flu, you can overwhelm it."

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:

Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.

When I served in Congress, I never traded a single stock. Not once.

Not because someone forced me to – but because I believed it would be unethical to do so.

That shouldn’t be remarkable. That should be the baseline.
