In what country the murder and subsequent dismemberment of a journalist can be dismissed with, "Things happen." America used to be a shining city upon a hill. I guess that was all just glitter.

ISW: "US and Russian officials reportedly drafted a 28-point peace plan that amounts to Ukraine’s full capitulation and would set conditions for renewed Russian aggression against Ukraine." The famous "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall" is now "Mr Putin, help yourself to Ukraine"

Even his staunchest allies turn against Trump. Marjorie Taylor Greene: "Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States"

White House War Room: "We need a war to distract people from the Epstein files. How about invading Venezuela?"

Awkward direct translation of the Russian peace plan put forward by the US: 3. It is expected that Russia will not invade neighboring countries and NATO will not expand further. 3. Ожидается, что Россия не будет вторгаться в соседние страны, а НАТО не будет расширяться дальше.

When your kid comes home with a bloody nose, is your first instinct to say, "Here's a peace plan: Just give the bully your lunch money and be over with it"? This is what Trump is telling the Ukrainians

Witkoff coaching Ushakov how to flatter Trump is now a "standard thing." Also, a rare moment of truth: "He's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia." bbc.com/news/articles/…

In the Middle Ages, indulgencies became a method of money raising, ignoring the requirements for contrition or charity. They were a major target of attacks by Martin Luther and Protestants. Today we call them Presidential Pardons. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Trump is selling indulgencies like hot cakes. Screw the victims! apnews.com/article/trump-…

Donald Trump, meet Donald Trump.

I'm confused. Did Reagan say "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall so we can join forces against the Democratic World"? I never imagined that the US would become a vassal state to Russia, working together to destroy the European Union and NATO.

It looks like Trump has pissed off the wrong Karen. Marjorie Taylor Greene is writing a book about him with all the juicy details including his tantrums about Epstein files.

The purpose of the healthcare industry in the US is to increase the shareholder value. What did you expect?

Some US congressmen are openly working for Russia. I learned about it from the very triumphant Russian media. The Russians call people like Massie "useful idiots." massie.house.gov/news/documents…

In private, MAGA people mock and make fun of Trump. They know he's senile and not very bright. But they enjoy listening to somebody who has even fewer inhibitions about expressing their prejudices and bigotry. It's like America is experiencing a Tourette syndrome.

This year Russia has taken less than 1% of Ukrainian territory at the cost of 400,000 casualties. In any normal country people would be up in arms against the reckless dictator who's dead set on destroying their own country for generations to come.
