and two, he and Putin have planned another online ambush of Zelenskyy. I am sure Z is aware of this. He had better come prepared. President MeFirst is going to want to demonstrate that his withered balls are fully operational.

Please, let's get over this news program of the problem with and division of the Dems. This is a news distraction. Let's all support the broad agenda of the Democratic Party-- and that's democracy, caring for all people, not just the billionaire class. We can do this. Stop watching stupid pundits.

The Republicans who have bowed to Trump from fear of being primaried or from death threats are serious cowards. Zelenskyy has shown us what courage is.

Like so many others, I am terribly embarrassed to be an American.
