That sounds almost pathetically naive. Of course something has changed. There's an idiot in the White House.

Perhaps. I'm not familiar with that. But how long did it take? Look at the devastation Trump has brought in less than a year, and he has three years to go. There will be nothing left within one four year term.

Not really servitude. It’s a natural alliance. Trump embraces Putin’s idea of regime - an oligarchic fascist ethnostate that controls its neighbors by force. He envies Putin’s ability to throw opponents out of high windows. Trump wants to be a tsar too.

They didn’t do it by choice. They collapsed. Trump is willfully, deliberately, dismantling the American empire. He is turning against allies and conceding influence in 3/4 of the world to Russia and China.

Stated simply, Imperialism is now official U.S. policy.

65 fucking hours? Literally? 🤣 To test 100 condoms? 😲

I believe there is no historic precedent of a dominant world power dismantling its own influence unilaterally. This is a colossal self destruction.

As I recall the USSC has determined that the president may lie with impunity, because lying is a part of his job description.

Here little Donny, I’ll give you another prize. 🥇

What is he on?

Americans are not of a single mind. Most of those who pay attention are against this, I think. But I also think that most don't pay attention. And in a dictatorship, public opinion doesn't matter any more.

It’s from punching the wall when Comey’s and James’ prosecutions were thrown out.

Putin thinks he’s a tzar, like Peter the Great.

A bit of grim math. The average billionaire has as much as the combined wealth of 6 million of the world’s below-median people.
December 5, 2025 at 6:06 AM
Yeh, he wants to be a Putin.
December 5, 2025 at 5:55 AM
Sounds more like playing like a fiddle.

A minority government with no popular support suppressing democracy? Talk about projection.

The Roberts court stands on the shoulders of midgets, those of the Roger Taney court of the infamous 1857 Dred Scott decision.

When democracy dies, public opinion no longer matters. It’s all in service of tax cuts for billionaires.

They should also bring back the bags that are tied to horses’ hind sides to collect horseshit.

I've had raccoons and skunks in my crawl space. When the camera shows he's outside, just block the entrance.

The Israeli supreme court allowed Netanyahu to run for office and become PM in 2022 under his commitment that his trial would not interfere with his job or create a conflict of interest. Now Netanyahu claims that the trial interferes with his job and creates a conflict, violating the commitment.

60% of Israelis want him replaced. He's replaceable all right.
December 4, 2025 at 6:59 AM
People don't realize that Israeli law on pardons is different from U.S. The president can only pardon a person who has been convicted, admits guilt, and expresses remorse. Herzog would be breaking the law if he pardons Netanyahu as requested.

You can't expect a naval officer who obeyed an illegal order to suddenly do the right thing. He is one of millions who either had no ethics to begin with, or prefer to be complicit to keep their jobs, just like all those law firms, universities, and billionaires. That's how dictators succeed.
