Unfortunately, Trump fired the head of the Joint Chiefs — a career soldier who would have refused to follow illegal or unconstitutional orders.

Fortunately, his Trump loyalist replacement, retired pilot “Razin” Caine, hasn’t been confirmed yet.

There’s a lot of blame to go around. It starts with the American ultra-right wing that has supported fascism since WWII. It includes McConnell’s obstructionism, Putin’s propaganda, Trump’s corruption, the brainwashed MAGA cult, the GOPs complicity, and the tech billionaires’ greed.

Translation: will the Article 3 branch (judiciary) support or restrain the Article 2 branch (executive)?

I hope the judiciary holds strong, blocking Trump’s subversion of the authority of Congress and the judiciary. If Trump chooses to ignore court orders, he’ll have to call up the military.

History will replace Benedict Arnold with Donald Trump as the greatest American traitor.

What mental pretzel-bends did Lindsey Graham do to come up with that absurd explanation?

The farcical aspect of Trump’s otherwise appalling statement is that he actually believes Putin would have gone to war with the US to protect Trump from going to jail!

His cognitive decline is notable even on his “good” days.

The political calculation of backing Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s invasion is irrelevant to Trump because he has always backed Russia.

But it was critical to Biden in convincing the Reagan Republicans in Congress to support sending military aid to Ukraine.

Putin wants peace on HIS terms. His goal is annexation of Ukraine along with all the previous Soviet republics that are now sovereign nations.

Once Putin completes his annexation of Ukraine, he’ll be free to move his army to invade Poland or Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania.

You don’t need objective facts when you run a cult. Or when you try to convince the public that education is bad for them.

Or when you’re covering up raiding the American taxpayers’ funds with ridiculous side antics designed to draw attention away from what you’re actually doing.
