Additionally there is little chance Trump would hold up his end of whatever deal is struck.

Mark gives up the game here. We get trillions in exchange for billions of aid to Ukraine. We are expropriating Ukraine’s wealth to put it in our pockets, and using the threat of their extermination to shake them down.

Mexico and Canada aren’t facing down an existential threat from Russia while being shaken down by the Trump administration. This isn’t some reality TV business deal; it’s the US extorting Ukraine on behalf of Putin.

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, *to us*

Their internal polling has to be looking really bad. This guy is in a very Trumpy district.

This is a straight-up extortion racket.

When the actual living embodiment of the constitution was reached for comment, he had these words for CPAC/MAGA.

So much winning.

This description is textbook malignant narcissism and sociopathy. Those sound like familiar characteristics that we’ve seen with another major public figure, @gtconway.bsky.social?

Love this from @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social because she has the same white-hot rage that I do towards the Republicans selling out our allies in Ukraine. youtu.be/ZQjXcV6SuvM?...

"Ukranian should not have started it" according to Trump

When you lose Nick Fuentes...

Since Mitch McConnell was in the news this week, I want to note this under-mentioned moment of his from 2021. Mitch pushed to block a bipartisan investigation into 1/6, and said voting to block it was a “personal favor” to him. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/05/...

Guy who claims he wants a “serious, good faith debate” and also disables comments and quotes. This reeks of someone who can’t actually engage with good faith criticisms and wants to whine instead.

"You're referring to *Admiral* Stansfield Turner?"

I still remember the time that the NYT tried to pass off Bethany Mandel as a random concerned parent on trans issues.

Folks, we’re going to double, even triple, the wokeness.

He would starve without someone to make him dinner. Or he’d make the Secret Service bring him hamberders every night and that would have its own effects.

It really is this simple with Trump’s fragile ego. Any institution that he believes was involved in robbing him of (what he wants to see as) his election win in 2020 should be brought under his control so he can weaponize it against his enemies.

People like Jonah Goldberg have always asserted that American conservatism is distinct from European conservatism and its authoritarian tendencies, but I think recent history is showing that they’re completely wrong about that.

If you told me "an extremely senile Trump was re elected after being convicted of a felony but the real president is Elon Musk, who's a Nazi now, and he's employing his drug dealer and nazi child pornographers to tear down the entire US government" in 2020 I'd have thought you were on crack

look how happy he is rubbing that upholstery in front of god and everybody

Go Canada! 🇨🇦 We deserved to lose this one.

He’s taking over the Post Office
