[Trump BDSM] Donald: “Humiliate me.” Melania: “I saw your poll numbers.”

Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945. For Americans, the Second World War would rage for three more months, until VJ Day in August. But for Russians and those influenced by them, "Victory Day" falls in May. Trump follows the Russian practice, not the American.

We should all feel rage. This makes me sad but I am filled with rage. This is NOT THE AMERICA I GREW UP IN!

We can not look away, but it's excruciating to watch this criminal cabal flout the law, flout specific court orders, all in the name of their hateful agenda.

Indiana congresswoman says, “You violated the law, you don’t get due process.” These are the same lawmakers who oppose Red Flag Laws because they don’t provide armed domestic abusers with … due process.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Finally, somebody has the courage to not feel the need to go on CNBC and engage in performative fellatio on the dictator-wannabe. Professor of finance Jeremy Siegel ripped Trump a new asshole over his insane and careless tariffs. 1/2

They're eating your Medicare. They're eating your Social Security. They're eating the funds of the people who paid into them.

So Trump imposes blanket tariffs, and only when a CEO pays him $5 million will he offer a carveout. Anyone who thinks he’s “draining the swamp” is either complicit or a fool.

As Donald Trump turns the United States into one of the closest allies Russia has worldwide, it's worth revisiting the news item below, which came out immediately after Trump won a surprising victory in November:

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.
