Underrated comparison point between Russia and Israel is that they both have virtually no realistic offramps in their respective, near-constant escalatory behavior. They demand things which are impossible and they use it as pretext for doing things in turn which are, on the whole, also impossible.

One of Americas richest men, Andrew Mellon, decided to work in Washington and clean up the mess. People at the time called him “The Real President.” He came to fix overspending. He slashed. He cut. Mellon became treasury secretary, but remained working in his private business.

Trump told West Point cadets at their graduation that he wouldn't be able to shake their hands, a tradition among US presidents, because he had urgent matters to deal with on China and Russia. This was him "dealing" with China and Russia moments later. He went golfing.

Trump used a pic of war deaths in Democratic Republic of Congo to push lie of South African white "genocide." But it gets worse. He's slashed refugee resettlement from DRC while using corpses from that war as "evidence" of fake atrocities against whites! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1956...

Definitely there is some projection here. What is projection? A defense mechanism that involves unconsciously attributing one's own thoughts, feelings, or behaviors onto another person or group. The lies cover up the projection.

The House Budget Committee's “big, beautiful bill” passed late Sunday, advancing Trump's 2017 tax cuts for multi-millionaires and corporations to the House floor. By Monday, Karoline Leavitt was plainly lying that the bill wouldn't add to the national deficit. It is estimated to add trillions.

In the first 3 months, the Trump family has become $3B wealthier. That’s $1B per month. Stop and think about that. A presidency lasts 48 months (at most, we hope). Trump has been enriching himself at a truly unprecedented scale since day one of his second term.

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.
