And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

“Putin went through a lot with me.”
"More distasteful than President Donald Trump’s incessant lying is what the lies indicate: After years of yelling that the 'Russia hoax' was a witch hunt, Trump is now openly colluding with Vladimir Putin." ICYMI @ninajankowicz.com on Trump's Russia disinformation:
A Fool and a Tool: Trump Is Spreading Russian Disinformation
Three years after the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Trump is not just siding with Putin, he’s circulating Putin’s lies.

Sometimes when I talk to folks here I feel like people think “organizing” is a great charismatic leader rising from the left and telling everyone what to do and then creating a mass march in the streets that is a cathartic outpouring of emotion (but accomplishes nothing).

We are essentially hostages to Trump's inability to emotionally process ordinary defeat and disappointment. And 76 million voters handed him the keys to wreck the whole country in one giant tantrum he thinks will erase his history of failure. Watch him try to reverse his impeachments, too.
