It’s clear that the primary interest of the US in “peace negotiations” is to create opportunities for Trump, Witkoff, their family members, business partners and cronies to make billions from business deals with Russia, and Ukraine is just the annoying nuisance in the way.

The cool thing about having a political world view that's not a weird personality cult tied to one old man is that there's no one so integral to your policy preferences that whether or not to overlook and conceal their complicity in mass paedophilia is a hard choice.
I really recommend it.

In the last 72 hours or so Donald Trump has:
• Demolished a large section of the White House
• Posted a video of himself dropping shit on the American people
• Demanded a $230 million payout from his own Department of Justice
Also the federal government is still shut down, but, y’know…

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Did we all take organic chemistry & the MCAT & miss the social part of our early 20’s and work 80 hours a week for 3+ years for the brain worm guy who doesn’t know what a p-value is to destroy our nation’s public health system? No.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

It sounds like they were really close, but couldn't quite get over a minor technical disagreement regarding whether Ukraine should be an independent sovereign country or an oblast of Russia.
Glad we all wasted our time on this and got Putin his photo-ops with POTUS under "Pursuing Peace" signs.

Handing the pharmacist $12 for a bottle of Nyquil and waiting patiently for my medicine and $170 in change.
Trump: You know, we've cut drug prices by 1200, 1300, 1400, 1,500%. I don't mean 50%. I mean 1400, 1,500%

Trump has lied more times about numbers & statistics in his lifetime than any person in the history of the human race.
And he just fired the government statistician who reports employment numbers because she refused to do the same.
But he will replace her with someone who will.

Trump has made it abundantly clear that any person who dares to tell the truth in any government agency will be fired.
It is also clear when you take a look at his appointees that all are willing and eager to lie for him constantly and effortlessly without remorse or regret.
