Well, he is a king and this is his throne, and no subjects of his are allowed to sit in his presence

Yes, a proper metaphor for the meeting where Mamdani was a skillful puppet master while staying true to who he is.

Good for Mamdani that he didn't do a thumbs-up like most do when standing next to Trump doing his.

Thought the same. Both young and handsome with dark facial hair

But then he can offer others to sit down too yet he always needs to be the ONLY one sitting, like he is a king and it’s his throne

Pure Trump. Zelensky didn’t β€œhave the cards” (and still doesn’t) so fit for humiliation. Mamdani is popular in NYC and charismatic, so he does β€œhave the cards.” Trump is hoping this popularity will rub off on him.

To be fair, Trump is no Liz Cheney

He did say that he would like to be a mayor of NYC

Like he does on MbS; both are young and quite handsome

Judging by his smile, he thinks he is one cool dude

I refused in both instances, in case this isn't clear :)

Both in grad school (1975-1985), in different CA universities. The first winked at me when I came to his office hours, saying: "C'mon, baby, make me happy!" The second, a visiting prof whose RA I was for a semester, kept insisting I work with him at his house, where he lived alone, not on campus.

She knows that Finland, together with other Baltic countries, some of them previously in the Soviet empire -- like Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia -- would be next

"Soon to be released" is probably too optimistic

It is really, really bad, by now clinically so, but who will make the first move and how? Discharge Petition? Is it actually possible?

My thought too. Crush?

Yes, Starmer is basically a coward and a hypocrite

Why Russia? They like what Trump is doing for them in Ukraine. Our best hope is UK. Wish they had it in Canada too!

He said twice that the Pres was upset about it as well; he probably yelled at Johnson in the presence of other guests, and this is why he is shook so terribly. Probably wonders whether Trump will decide he is too weak for this job and end his career as Speaker. Fun to watch.

Great visuals, of course, to parallel what else is going on today. Here’s your role model for how to treat women and girls, as well as β€œpesky”journalists. Have they brought him enough gold?

So glad that we don’t have to treat her as a petition savior any more!

Wonder how it will affect their enrollments. Cannot imagine being a student in his class. Don't think he will last beyond this academic year, if even that. His wife (cannot imagine being her right now either) is already retired.

Yes, speaking of a "hoax"

yes, "active investigation."
