What Fresh Hell Do We Have Today?
Sure, we’ve abandoned Ukraine, launched a trade war with our neighbors, and insulted close allies. But at least we’re screwing over our veterans, too.

Zelensky, the ELECTED leader of a free country, should not be expected to kiss the ass of the toddler. His people expect
Him to be strong.

Trump is the worst negotiator

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC.
Nazism has officially taken over the GOP.
The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

After the drone panic, the Springfield hoax, the Helene conspiracies, etc. etc. etc., I'm reminded that good reporting (much less government investigations) take time, and in our paranoid moment, delay is seen as suspicious. "What are you hiding?" Meanwhile . . . 1/

Ronald Reagan warned against “demagogues” like Trump:
“We should beware of the demagogues who are willing to declare a Trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world, all while cynically waving the American flag…”
