In every picture trump looks like a lost worried old fool not a partner of a former KGB agent. Never in the history of the world has the term " useful idiot" been more accurate.
Earl you have done the ultimate truth writing and the MAGA dipshits still think he's the next best thing to sliced bread. I keep hoping but not holding out for enough of them top jump ship. Being in a cult makes it nearly impossible for them to leave. You are on the exact same page I am as I have no sympathy for what they are about to loose very quickly. The best we can do is to continue to fight and to show up and vote and keep telling people that this is going south if they don't change. Canada has already shut down working with us and they plus the EU are helping Ukraine. It ia such an embarrassment what drumpf is doing. Thank you for a great piece today
I have a goal of staying alive long enough for the big-picture books (or the pop-up versions for MAGA) that will come out that tie the kompromat and closed-door dealings together. I am interested in the overview of how much more corrupt all of this is. My guess is it will be unbelievable on its face except the part that we're all living through it now.
This, Earl, is the crux of the matter: “This, of course, is appalling, and I’ll ask again because I simply have to: How-in-the-hell could ANYBODY have voted for this fascist felon in 2024?” The answer is there are too many lazy, ignorant, racist fools in this country who don’t care enough about their own welfare, let alone ours, to educate, inform, elevate, and motivate themselves to be good citizens, or even decent people. I dare anyone to look at where we are, how we got here, and why we’re STILL here despite everything that’s happened and tell me I’m wrong. And to all the kumbaya dipshits out there telling me to treat these traitorously stupid morons with respect and dignity, that they’re not really stupid or racist, they just have had it bad and are being manipulated, I have one thing to say: Fuck you. It’s way past time for accountability and a reckoning with the destruction these assholes have wrought on our country, our people, our children’s future, the health and safety of people around the world, and the planet. This shit has got to stop.
You’re spelling it wrong. It’s not a peace deal; it’s a piece deal. As in, give Vlad a big enough piece of Ukraine and you’ve got a deal. Damn homonyms anyway.
For anyone who was wondering what Bob Dylan meant when he asked, "how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn’t see?" ... now you know.
Vlad wants what Vlad wants. There will never be a real peace in Ukraine unless the United States and NATO nations sanction the Russian regime. Russia is a terrorist state. Trump enjoys playing footsies with the strongmen of the world. It is truly disgusting and downright un-American!
Exactly Earl. Keep on reminding all of us that Trump has carried water for Putin for several decades. Conold is a traitor, to the US and the whole free world.
Yes, me too Teri. I want the orange buffoon to die after spending years and years in a REAL prison. No pardons....that would be political suicide for whoever would do that..... I want him to experience the most miserable ugly dreadful days and years. And then die, after he becomes accustomed to it.
I agree with everything that Earl has stated here, and maybe more so than most. In just a few days we will ring in yet another year of this farce of a president. And the powers that be who could have & and should have stopped this nightmare, just let it continue. How he was re-elected after everything Earl just pointed out here is one thing. How he was re-elected after the J6 insurrection is another..... That said, the way its gone, and the way it continues to go will never end as long as this thing remains active in this country, and for that matter.... the planet. And that folk's is my 2 cents worth ...... Happy New Year !
There is more to this story than we may ever know. Parallel to this Trump outrage, you would also thought Trump would have lost the last election just over the SC ruling on abortion. I was sure that would have electrified the women of the US to overwhelming vote against him. Yet they did not. Women giving up control of their bodies, I would think would be the same as men giving up right second amendment rights.
Amazing the party that loves the second amendment supports the same guy that favors Putin and Russia. If you lived under their rules you would not have the second amendment.
My point is the US has reached an inexplicable point where people have become so apathetic and disillusioned they do not give a damn. Trump is just their instrument to wreck havoc on the lives of others to mirror their own sorry lives.
Good point Russ. That was another major election topic. Harris held her own but, Trump carried the larger portion of the women's vote. And for the life of me I didn't understand it then, and I don't understand it today.... why they would vote against their own human rights.
My wife has a circle of lady friends. Those who are overtly political love Trump the rest are not political at all. The Trumpers have something in common. They are well to do. Wife hates Trump and it is all she can do to keep quiet to preserve what was previously a good friendship. We are not as well off as they. Just glad what we have and do not look down on others having less.
Gregg, I'm damn sure the 2024 vote was entirely predetermined & well-planned. And even the SC was in on it (see the presidential immunity ruling).
I haven't given up, and still strongly trust in the goodness of most Americans to drive these reprobates the hell out of our lives, and send 'em back under the rocks from which they slithered 🤠
I agree with everything you wrote. The nation - and journalist's - short memories are a national disgrace. The fool (Trump) should be considered his own worst enemy regarding Russian interference, because he reminds every one of the "Russia, Russia, Russia, hoax" seemingly weekly. That provides the opening for journalists to pounce, but they never do. His latest Putin ass-kissing this week, taking Putin's word once again about Ukraine's alleged attack against him, is laughable. It Trump would delay his usual tee time once in a while and sit through the formerly titled 'daily Presidential briefing,' he might be able to decipher truth from fiction - not that he would tell the truth anyway.
Anyway, Earl, thank you for standing up against this compromised fool and speaking truth. If only more people had the same courage.
If DT really thinks sPutum wants peace with Ukraine, he is at best, a damn fool.
Just look at the map: Russia only has ONE seaport that is open all year*. Another country would make a cooperative deal with neighbor countries for access. But not the guy who has openly said he wants to put the USSR back together again. That's why he grabbed the Crimean Peninsula and why Russian soldiers stole every Ukrainian thing of value that wasn't nailed down and many that were. From Toasters to Tractors, Russia has few manufactured goods, and the oligarch hobnob govt that replaced 'the party' hobnob govt ruined much of the natural resources from farmland to water.
Russia MUST annex other countries and rob them to prop up sPutum's illusion of prosperity.
Now whether he's playing DT for a fool, has dirt on DT, he's bribing DT or they're just evil twins separated at birth, history will one day tell. But meanwhile, the Russian Govt is no friend to ANY Democracy, especially the USA and will use (has used) any means to attack us and other NATO/Democratic Countries from within or with direct war.
Well said Peg, and this week Metamusollini actually said that sPutum "wants the best for Ukraine, and that he'll be willing to rebuild the country when the war is over"!
Dear mother mary of god, what are we dealing with here!?
From this currently safe place in the Antipodes, it beggars belief that so many Americans can swallow this traitorous and specious tripe and clan of corrupt Super grifters.
Or, worse, feel so cosseted in your material existence, so insulated by the lies you tell yourselves of AMERICA THE BRAVE, LAND OF THE FREE etc as to feign disinterest in ( or because of) either your dismal politics, and your responsibility under the Constitution to be on your guard against any treacherous enemy within, viz the GOP and its hideous proxies, Trumpism, Evangelism, Oligarchy and a vile media which sold out to the highest bidder some time ago.
It seems you have lost your collective mind...and maybe your Empire!
Trump fawning over Putin is a national outrage and international embarrassment. “To the midterms and beyond!”
A national embarrassment, but mostly a threat to our national security.
Putin Appeasement — Trump’s guiding foreign policy approach.
Provably so in words and dirty deeds ...
In every picture trump looks like a lost worried old fool not a partner of a former KGB agent. Never in the history of the world has the term " useful idiot" been more accurate.

Thanks, Teri. I appreciate your readership and support, as we fight against fascism.
Your welcome
I have a goal of staying alive long enough for the big-picture books (or the pop-up versions for MAGA) that will come out that tie the kompromat and closed-door dealings together. I am interested in the overview of how much more corrupt all of this is. My guess is it will be unbelievable on its face except the part that we're all living through it now.
What has ALREADY come out absolutely astounds, Wendy, and as I say in the piece should be part of ANY reporting on the treasonous Trump.
This, Earl, is the crux of the matter: “This, of course, is appalling, and I’ll ask again because I simply have to: How-in-the-hell could ANYBODY have voted for this fascist felon in 2024?” The answer is there are too many lazy, ignorant, racist fools in this country who don’t care enough about their own welfare, let alone ours, to educate, inform, elevate, and motivate themselves to be good citizens, or even decent people.

Bravo, good on ya', mate!
You’re spelling it wrong. It’s not a peace deal; it’s a piece deal. As in, give Vlad a big enough piece of Ukraine and you’ve got a deal. Damn homonyms anyway.
Fair.
For anyone who was wondering what Bob Dylan meant when he asked, "how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn’t see?" ... now you know.
So well put.
Vlad wants what Vlad wants. There will never be a real peace in Ukraine unless the United States and NATO nations sanction the Russian regime. Russia is a terrorist state. Trump enjoys playing footsies with the strongmen of the world. It is truly disgusting and downright un-American!
Treasonous, Steve.
Every American should be ashamed and outraged by their president siding with a war criminal dictator! Shameful.
Exactly Earl. Keep on reminding all of us that Trump has carried water for Putin for several decades. Conold is a traitor, to the US and the whole free world.
Yes he is, Baden.
And now the orange roach endorses ethnic cleansing in Gaza under the guise of "opportunity". For him, there is no such thing as going too far
I have to believe he'll get his.
That is my hope.. but I want he entire lot of them imprisoned for a long,
long time...like until they die..
Yes, me too Teri. I want the orange buffoon to die after spending years and years in a REAL prison. No pardons....that would be political suicide for whoever would do that..... I want him to experience the most miserable ugly dreadful days and years. And then die, after he becomes accustomed to it.

We have been looking in the wrong places for the truth for too long, Bob.
Thanks for helping to get the facts in front of people.

*Climate change might affect that.
He doesn't think that. The two are thick as thieves.
That makes perfect sense: they ARE thieves.
Well said Peg, and this week Metamusollini actually said that sPutum "wants the best for Ukraine, and that he'll be willing to rebuild the country when the war is over"!

Easy, sport.
It's hard enough dealing with all this without you enjoying it.
