The headline is ludicrous, the Pentagon investigating telling servicemen not to follow illegal orders. What so different than what everyone knows? All Kelly said, follow the law, and Trump hears insurrection.

The Truth, Trump and Hegseth caught in the assumption the military took orders alone from them, and not subject to legal constraint. I'm sure these two never considered it because Trump's lawless as President, and Hegseth's dim. Kelly put them on notice of their limitations. It incensed Trump.

Trump has his own agenda at these talks, and they don't seem to lineup with Ukraine's. Ukraine needs the U.S., and Trump playing both sides for gain. He's offering up Ukraine to Putin for what seems an agreed side deal. Ukraine knows it and is resisting. Too much is being made of Trump assurances.

The majority of pardons were for supporters from the January 6th insurrection. They're his Storm Troopers, along with local militia, to call up when dementia kicks in and he tries it again. As for the others, there is a buck to be made. The pardons are for his purpose, not to serve justice.

This meet up was for both self-serving. Trump needed to glom some of Mamdani's celebrity with his success at the polls. For Mandani it's obvious, he needs Federal support to be successful. Trump as reported, the new Mayor first asked, a good sign for Trump. It won't last, but both got headlines.

Trump can't justify what he's doing near Venezuela unless you're one of the poorly educated. He's starting a conflict like all autocrats to distract from all his other crises brewing up. He's killing people, blowing up boats as a distraction. This isn't diplomacy, it's what Putin doing in Ukraine.

Democrat resurgence occurs after the disastrous performance by conservatives, now MAGA, sending the nation into a ditch. The most notable was the Herbert Hoover administration that led to The Great Depression. Voters suffering put in FDR with his ideas that lasted until Reagan. Trump is Hoover.

A major program of the Education Department are programs to assist and champion disabled children. This is something they do fostering inclusion and funds for the disabled to be educated, and fit into general society. I doubt McMahon has same priorities, if so at half the budget.

Trump is running up against FIFA rules about the championship games. Sounds like these matches are going to be rescheduled to Mexico or Canada.

Trump tried a fast one.

Trump believes most of the West has shown him no respect to hear him. He's now singling out Ukraine for his own purposes. There is likely a deal with Putin if he does his bidding, and Trump is working to earn it. All Trump wants is to walk away, no empathy for Ukrainians and their democracy.

Bessent is Trump's financial propagandist. The economy is weakening because of Trump and Bessent's policies, and on a path to teeter to the down side. What we're getting now is whistling in the dark.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Rubio knows the plan as presented, Putin's plan, needs a lot of changes to be acceptable to Ukraine and Western European nations. The pressure is focused on Ukraine agreeing, but these other nations are equally concerned about it, too. Putin isn't going anyplace with his East European ambitions.

Putin's not going anyplace in his determination to conquer Ukraine. Ukraine must be able to repulse another such invasion on its own, before EU defenses enter the fray. Ukraine had assurances to give up its nukes from the U.S. It didn't prevented Putin's Crimean invasion. Assurances go just so far.

What is Trump and Witkoff talking about, the plan was lifted from Putin's demands? Trump's quick with his propaganda to correct the record, but let this one hang out there, and then say he'd walk if Zelenskyy doesn't agree to latest plan. He used it as a stunt to pressure Zelenskyy, some ally.

That's no surprise, and further are government operatives from opponents.

Remember, isn't Trump's money is just taxpayers or in his mind, Monopoly money. Is changing the image of the Defense Department worth $2 billion?

Trump's a propagandist, and this is the same. Trump and lackey Republicans don't mention the Senators were quoting the law, illegal orders are prohibited. When critics omit the word illegal in their diatribes, are the ones using deception. Every serviceman in boot camp this law. Trump is lawless.

Trump is delusional, how much did leaflet drops work. This will be seen as American propaganda by citizens. Trump is hated, they don't have a warm feeling for what's happening. What Trump is doing bring back the Ugly American to Latin America. He's seen a criminal holding a club reinforcing hatred.

Before Trump, Zelenskyy got strong commitments from America defending an ally and democratic nation. All Trump did has been to end the conflict on his terms, and earn the deal he made with Putin. It's coming to light Putin's package of business deals discussed. Trump is doing his part to earn it.

I'm sure Trump's money made it alright.

Monarchy is a crap shoot, so why pick a politician with progressing dementia, and a penchant for retribution, with little empathy for the suffering he causes?

The peace plan showed Trump isn't paying attention to the process. It's the same Putin talking points from the last proposal he pushed. Trump's hoping Putin's constant killing of civilians will weaken Zelenskyy's resolve. Trump is using Putin's pounding to bring Zelenskyy along. A Trump betrayal.

MAGA is an aberration in American demcoracy, similar to isolationism prior to WWII. It caught on, and was sold by an demagogue to the poorly educated. It'll have a short shelf life and see it now already failing. Americans will reject it at the polls, if allowed to vote again.

Look whose pushing the Golden Dome, enough said. Trump routinely makes terrible decisions, and will be long gone by the time it's built, if ever. Now,Trump sees it as popular for voter support. That's enough for him to try it.

Those seeking power, associating with those to get it, have weak ethical and moral issues in doing it. These kleptocrats worked hard to sit at the President's table, and would eat sh*t, if served there. They've put themselves on a slippery slope.

The truth, Trump's latest plan offers Ukraine nothing, over the plan he brought to them from Putin earlier. Trump wants a win so he can walk away from Kremlin, and earn his bonus from Putin. He doesn't talk about the side deals Putin' been plying his with to get it done on his terms.

Trump bragging about fantasy poll numbers says it all, and sums up his first year in office. His fall back is to lie, his go to strategy, and obvious now. He must have the Presidential record for lying to the public, unseating Nixon. He's in denial, and wants his followers there , too.

Trump Karma as the inevitable result of his own actions. This is what happened when the guardrails are removed, and his instincts which he said are great roam free. Not the brightest one in politics today.
