The only thing that makes sense today is that Putin is pulling all of Trump's strings.

Here's my Ukraine Peace Plan.
1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine, including Crimea.
2. Russia stays the fuck out of Ukraine, including Crimea.
3. Ukraine decides its own future.
4. Putin ends up in The Hague for war crimes
5. Trump ends up in The Hague for war crimes

Liubov and Prez talked the "peace plan" over. Russia gets land, Donald gets a bribe and Ukraine gets some empty promises.

The time has come for Europe to keep the US at arms length and build their defense industry up to be a juggernaut of deterrence and strength. We have failed the free world and it’s time for us Americans to admit it and consider alternatives for keeping the world free. Otherwise, all will be lost.

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.

When did Republican leaders begin to believe in Putin? What triggered it? What was exchanged? Which Republican leaders stand firm against Putin and Russian appeasement?
Because Putin is both a tyrant and a criminal, I take this most recent placation as proof that #GOPCriminals own the party.

She doesn’t even try to hide that she’s a spokesperson for Putin serving in the US Congress. Post after post, day after day, echoing Russian propaganda. Truly sad that people in Pinellas County have chosen this as their representation.

The Trump regime's undermining of Ukraine should push the Europeans to cut ties with the U.S. and try to make it on their own. It will be hard, but it's the only way. The U.S. government has embraced autocracy. Europe must acted now to avoid falling into a Putin-Trump sinkhole.

The GOP's "healthcare plan" was repealing the ACA. Now they're mad about subsidies they enabled while blocking public options and boosting junk plans?
If they truly want to take on insurers, next stop: universal healthcare.

Current events will make a lot more sense if you zoom out and look at the foreign influence over MAGA.
MAGA is a Trump creation of Pro-Russia (from his past) and Pro-Isreal (created through marrying off his daughter)
This coalition ended when Trump lost his mind and influence over the base.
