At a certain point you realize that Trump supports Russia’s invasion because Trump is an evil man and it’s as simple as that. This doesn’t help him politically in any way he’s just a piece of shit. Intel sharing costs US nothing material.

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

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.

My heart breaks for the millions of Ukrainians who have been betrayed by our traitorous president in his pathetic quest for Putin’s approval. Ukraine’s people have shown immense courage in the face of Russia’s brutal, illegal aggression; they deserve our admiration and support. Trump is a quisling.

JD Vance is a coward who is afraid of going to Ukraine. I think it’s disrespectful for Vance to use his high office to promote lies and the talking points of our enemies.

Watching Putin’s little stooges try to bully Zelenskyy in our goddamned White House is pretty repulsive.

800 families suddenly and without warning losing a job. And not because of some well thought out plan to reduce costs. No, it isn’t that. It’s simply the whim of a criminal & his henchman bent on destroying the U.S. & terrorizing Americans. www.cnn.com/2025/02/27/p...

JFC. Like, literally, USAID was the counter to the Belt and Road Initiative, and removing it has opened up all sorts of opportunities for China to harm the US.

Congress is responsible for deciding what should be on the public payroll. Elon Musk’s view of what is “essential” is irrelevant.

I still don’t understand why Democrats would negotiate a budget when the Trump administration claims unilateral authority to cancel any spending it dislikes. As long as congressional Republicans endorse that position, they are not legitimate negotiation partners! An agreement with them has no value!

Determined opposition is the phrase of the day. We think of the Nazis as ruling with an iron fist in the areas they controlled, and that was often true. But sometimes when confronted with pushback even they capitulated. Denmark was occupied by the Nazis and its small Jewish population was

Worse than Munich 1938. When Chamberlain appeased Hitler, Germany had the strongest military on the continent and hadn’t launched a big attack. Now, US has the strongest military on the continent, and Russia is weakened from 3 years of war. This isn’t from fear and hope, it’s helping the aggressor.

JD Vance is actually right -- Russia is not the biggest threat to Europe. What's even bigger as a threat is irresponsible and infantile demagogues running for quick and easy-peasy solutions to matters of war and peace.

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

In a letter where he states he is going to conduct an investigation of AUSAs for following their conscience and refusing to dismiss the case against Eric Adams, Bove quotes Scalia about the danger of politically motivated investigations. (P. 5). Unbelievable chutzpah or lack of self awareness.
