Just btw, as much as I've been saying Trump's "deal" & words are worthless, same applies to Putin.
Let's just pretend there's some "great deal" that sounds just spiffy.
Does ANYone believe Putin would stick to it?
Trump wants his hotel, his Nobel, and Putin's approval.

Many US liberals would prefer to forget, but the straightforward truth is that Biden and the Democrats deliberately enabled the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19 between 2021 and 2024, recklessly causing huge amounts of illness and mortality.

I’ll never forgive Biden and the Democrats for lying and saying the pandemic’s over & caving so quickly on clean indoor air & the need for continued masking. It’s because of them that the vast majority of otherwise “sensible & reasonable” people mistakenly think COVID’s a cold.

In 2022 the children in the US started with something like a 30-40% rate of having had COVID and by fall, thanks to Biden forcing schools to go IRL, it was well over 100% because so many children got it 2X that year. Biden’s response: cutting isolation to 5 days because CEO of Delta told him to.

If only we had warned folks before the election that the real plan wasn’t border security…it was mass deportation in the interior, federalizing the National Guard, ripping people out of homes, families, jobs, and schools.

The chapter of RFK’s most recent book - that he wrote to defend his belief that COVID was actually a weapon designed to target white people and spare certain groups like Jewish people - in which he talks about how he does not believe germs actually cause disease is called “The White Man’s Burden.”

So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.
