The felon and Putin...what a picture!! Imagine these two evil conspirators ( only one with a brain) "distgussing" ( yup...misspelled..I just coined it) the future of "THEIR" planet...Imagine how it looks to both these evil creatures...all fourteen year old "women" , the entire poplace enslaved for their enjoyment ....I am upchucking viloently... It's GOOD that Zelenskyy "couldn't make it....It would only endanger this wonderful hero from the virus these two spew...fatally.. STAND STRONG AMERICA!!! This is no REAL meeting of the "minds" ...it's just Putin giving orders to his puppet..
>"former Senator and now White House cafecito boy Marco Rubio."
Actually that would be covefefe boy Marco Rubio.
When Reagan met with Gorbachev at the Reykjavík Summit in 1986, Reagan was deep in the throes of dementia and he fumbled a critical opportunity to reach a substantial nuclear arms agreement. The collapse of that deal will be exponentially better than the clusterf*k we're going to have to endure with the Trump capitulation to Putin.
I've got a bad feeling that Trump will sell Alaska (along with its oil and minerals) back to Russia if it means cash and crypto for himself and his friends. Sorry Murkowski.
Yes, it will be terribly different. This time, when Zelinsky says no, the Mango Messiah will tell us that he gave Zelinsky the chance to finally end his war of aggression, and since he didn't accept that, the United States will no longer be of further assistance in providing Ukrain with the materials to continue the fight.
This will change the situation not only in Ukrain, but in all of Europe.
In return of allowing Putin a free hand in Europe, Putin will turn a blind eye to the US using its military might in invading Greenland, Panama and, finally, Canada.
Perfectly summarized, as usual. Putin continues to play Trump, all while Trump thinks he just beat the Devil and won his golden fiddle. How depressing.
A couple of months ago I was in Berlin. It is a large and modern city - lots to see and experience. Not least all the museums that are strikingly often about the Nazi era or East Germany during the GDR era. They do not pretend, do not make excuses. Hitler and his entourage are described as the severely mentally disturbed individuals they were and the East Germans as a raped people whose majority wanted nothing more than to be freed from the Soviet Union and the communist yoke. All the visitors to the museums walk around silently, looking at objects and pictures, reading information signs and shaking their heads. How could this madness happen, that people did not understand? How could they elect a leader of the country, a full-blooded narcissist who stands and shouts, gesticulates, lies, presents deranged and violent solutions that they must have realized will lead to enormous suffering for masses of people? There is a good answer to that question today. You just have to look west and you get an incredibly illustrative example of how it works. And this within a country with strong democratic institutions and a large proportion of well-educated, wise and intelligent citizens. I will probably never experience it myself, but I know that in about 50 years many people in the United States will be silently walking around museums there and shaking their heads. How could this happen?
CORRECT...IF we can save our incredible country...We saw this happen ..our mouths hang open!!! We yelled...we screamed...2016...Few paid attention...even with all the proof then...and so much more now... Hitler wormed his way in with false promises to "his" people 1933...aimed their HATE against the Jewish people who he claimed had destroyed Germany...It's all about hate and fear...and lack of PAYING ATTENTION... Great movie to watch at present is " THE BOOK THIEF" ..OR read this wonderful book...nails it all in a nutshell.. What happened to LOGICAL THINKING???
At least the Germans had somewhat of an excuse to flock to the nationalist and populous leader and demigod. Their economy had collapsed with raging inflation. They had the anchor of the onerous Treaty of Versailles and war reparations hanging around their necks. Their country was in shambles.
What have we got? Expensive eggs and authoritarian loving conservatives who hate brown people.
But it's the same type of lack of awareness ( "WOKE" if you will...)..people who CHOOSE not to get EDUCATED..or get involved...It's happening even now around us...those who just think it will all blow over...BE AFRAID..BE VERY AFRAID!!
Harsh but oh so true. I'd cry if it wasn't so spot on. China must be licking their chops, waiting for their turn to fleece Trump and America. It's all so very, very sad. Trump is killing our country, day by day, executive order by executive order, summit by summit. He'll never get the Nobel; he can't fool the rest of the world who sees him, just as you so eloquently do, Rick, as the scared, whiny little bitch that he is. I'm a Boomer, fearful for what the world will be like for my daughter as she makes her way in this world. All I can do is put my body and my soul on the line, resist at every turn, spread the word to the deaf Americans who would rather watch tv or doom scroll than take a stand. Power to The People! It worked once; it can work again.
We sure hope so..Keep the FAITH...82 here and I've been through Reagan, two Bushes, and saw hope with OBAMA..and Thought Kamala would be such a STAR!! It's NOT over...but we've got to dig in and hold tight...DO WHAT YOU CAN...this IS about our kid's survival...
Great read!! There was a rumor that when trump was in russia holding one of the beauty pageants, he was "playing around", and there s was recording of said actions. That was prior to the first Epstein trial in Fla. I think. Now we may know why trump has always been so nice to putin. Perhaps there really is a tape, and is being held over trumps head, such as it is. Don't tell me we can't find a talented hack to get the tape out of russia!! Oh, and I am sure there is someone who could hack the doj or fbi to get that whole package of lists of pedophiles and child molesters, regardless whether trump is involved. The more he squirms, the more guilty he seems.
Not to sound too conspiratorial but I suspect Elon and his boys hacked those files a long time ago, and that it's mutually assured destruction for him and Trump.
ALOHA.... G.O.P. guardians of pedophilics...“Silence and fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought. Instead of silence and fear, let this moment fuel the fire that already burns at the heart of this place. A fire of righteous indignation at abuses of power. WELA KA HAO.... GOP LAPUWALE.... TRUM LAPUWALE THE MOST...
When it’s time to tell your grandchildren how you fought the Trump regime, you don’t want to have to tell them you just clicked and shared online. You want to show them that you ACTUALLY. TOOK. ACTION. Make a real difference. Today.
I was surprised when I read that some are rolling their eyes over the comparison to Sudetenland. The eye-rollers need to dig back into the history. Are they just triggered at any reference to Hitler? I have family in Finland, and when I was a kid, my next door neighbor's grandparents had fled Estonia and then Germany during WWII. What the Republican party has allowed in terms of support of Putin is a betrayal and a disgrace and a heartbreak. I grew up with the same principle of never house too much power in the executive branch to avoid abuse, and I thought that was a standard from which the USA would never deviate. As you said in your video earlier, whatever anyone says about Trump, he is consequential. On a lighter note, Rick, I'm not sure I know any other writer who can by funny and terrifying at the same time about this political nightmare. Thank you for always making me laugh.
Fantastic (and sad) piece. Well done.

Sounds reasonable...right on time, wouldn't you say??

DISTGUSTING..my new word...
Chamberlain for all his weaknesses, loved his country, and later supported Churchill who excoriated him.
Chamberlain also gave the UK a year to begin arming themselves for the fight against Nazi Germany.

We are staring into the abyss. And, it's staring back.
Infuriating and tragic.
We’ll be lucky if he doesn’t give Putin Alaska.

Check out Brian Cohen's substack...there's a BELIEF that the election WAS WON BY KAMALA... your 'thought' is on the same page...
