Here’s so good news, and some sad news.
Europe has stepped into the void that America has left since Trump 2.0.
The question is how long they can keep Russia at bay in Ukraine. It’s obvious that the Trump admin has no plan to provide support.
Yeah, the so-called negotiations continue,

Happy Valentines Day 💝🌹
Now to what’s not happy.
The search for Nancy Guthrie continues! Why was she even taken? Why does it take law enforcement to determine height, check surrounding cameras, get the glove DNA checked? This is heartbreaking.
Next, we know what a monster Trump is.

They Lie! They ALL Lie!
The president Lies; Always! To the country; to the World!
Vance, Bondi, Blanche, Patel, ICE officials, etc., they ALL LIE!
This is a cruel, ignorant, autocratic administration. It’s openly corrupt. They openly LIE about EVERYTHING!
It’s not good & I’m sick of this sh*t!

The world now sees what we see, a rambling, delusional old man as the president of the US.
They know there has been a shift in world order. Our president has “forced” that by threatening use of force against our allies or greater tariffs.

Now the World knows what many of us already knew; our president is a loon; a nutcase; a demented person.
His rambling “speech” at Davos, Switzerland, exposed him to the rest of the World.
It’s not just his constant referral to Greenland as Iceland. It’s his overall inability to put together

Let me get this straight! We gave Greenland “back” to Denmark after WWll? Hmmm 🤔.
Obviously, our demented Prez Chaos hasn’t looked at the history.
Greenland was part of Norway originally, then part of a joined Norway-Denmark; then part of Denmark where it remains today.

It must be obvious to you by now that the escalation of Trump’s imperialism in the Caribbean & threats to take Greenland militarily, are not just distractions of the Epstein Files.

Ok, let’s look at the distractions; from what?
First, we bomb small boats; over and over.
Then, we pardon a convicted president of Honduras of drug charges.
Then, we “invade” Venezuela taking their bad guy to the US. And, why? Same drug charges as the guy from Honduras.
Then, we threaten

No doubt Maduro is a bad guy; apparently, his wife, too.
But, aside for rightly trying these drug kingpins, we now claim we’re running Venezuela.
Is this a new toy for Donnie & his cronies to play with? They’re having enough trouble running our own government.

Remember! This is a convicted criminal; F’ing Donald J Trump; your elected president!

My thoughts on Ukraine & Russia.
To put it bluntly, F’ing Putin does not want peace; he will kill & take until he gets it all.
The negotiations that are going on are between Ukraine & Ukraine supporters. In other words, they’re negotiating against themselves (ourselves).

The DOJ says that some of the released Epstein Files can’t be true.
Why? Because this DOJ says they would have been weaponized against the Republicans at that time.

If you thought the 18-1/2 minute gap in the Watergate tapes was bad, what the Trump DOJ is doing w/the Epstein Files is much worse.
Apparently, files are vanishing, i.e., in today’s world, being disappeared.
Obviously, to most of us, this is the most corrupt US government in American history.
