All of this becomes a lot easier to understand if we stop thinking of Trump, Witkoff, Putin, and Dmitriev as political leaders of opposing powers and instead think of them as leaders of competing but friendly mafia families dividing up territory and clout. Looking at the deal they concluded and the rhetoric emanating from both camps, it’s not too hard to get into that mindset. Nothing about this deal would ensure peace over the long (or even medium) term. Instead, this is merely a breather, offering Russia the chance to consolidate its gains and bide its time until it can attack again while the US, and more importantly, those in Trump’s immediate circles, have a chance to profit from doing business with Russia.

It does sound like something a mudurous child rapist would do.

It’s probably for the best.

Now that they have their first win for their argument that DC is a war zone, they will increase the possibility for more wins.

Happy Thanksgiving.

A tweet from Brian Allen saying David Frum pointed out that calling the Pentagon the “Department of War” is illegal because Congress named it the Department of Defense. He says Trump aides’ made-up titles show willingness to issue illegal orders. The image below shows CNN’s “The Source” with host Kaitlan Collins interviewing David Frum.

Also, in his last term, Trump mused about shooting protestors in the legs. The man is a convicted felon who issued illegal orders regularly to his top company officers.

Why are we still paying for that?

Can there be more than one anti christ?

Every governor should pull all their citizens (national guard) back to their homeostates. ENOUGH Supporting the whims of this wanabe king

I am fucking livid over Georgia dropping the election interference case! WE ALL HEARD IT!!! Corrupt rednecks got a payday!!!

James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars.

Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.

They are desperate to win a single election in the future.

Trump got Catturd in the divorce.

To a peaceful city.

Calvin & Hobbes cartoon. The pair is lying on the floor reading newspapers. With his little face in his hands, elbows on the floor, Calvin observes 'These are interesting times.' He then gets up and wide-armed declares 'we don't trust the government, we don't trust the legal system, we don't trust the media, and we don't trust each other! we've undermined all authority and with it, the basis for replacing it!'. 'Intersting is a mild way of putting it,' Hobbes mumbles, mouth an inch from the floor and face mostly hidden in his crossed arms. A more delighted Calvin adds 'it's like a six-year-old's dream come true!'

Where is the UK democracy when the government can just change judges in an important case about that government's misuse of power without repercussions???

Not yet.

This is why his healthcare plan is late.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.

📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.

Prosecute her and everyone involved.

Five-year-olds would have understood the right course of action with significantly less damage and expense.

Trump’s healthcare plan looks a lot like extending subsidies for the ACA. You know, like the Democrats wanted in the first place.

Republicans are the lazy kid in a group project who tears shit up and hassles others for a week only to agree to sign-on on the last day to get a good grade.

Instead we have a murderous child rapist, destroying the reasons for being proud of one’s country.

He had been purchasing the same pair of shoes for years. They were ugly, and it never occurred to me that someone would buy the same pair twice, let alone dozens of times. Until one day, he exclaimed, “Can you believe that they stopped making his model shoe?”

I see Trump has his serious papers.

He also doesn't regard Trump as a bad guy.
