Meh. It's not about Zelensky "getting what he wants." He isn't asking to "get" anything; He just wants - rightfully - his country to be whole, and the use of Ukrainian assets to be governed by Ukrainian decision, not dictated by some foreign tinpot dictator-wannabe asshole (Trump).

Trump isn't negotiating, he's demanding, and on absurd terms. The U.S. led the rare earth minerals industry into the 90's, before we handed-off to China; It was cheaper - dumb short-term thinking. Re-firing up Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine in CA would seem preferable to fucking over Ukraine.

Such legislation would never pass Congress, and, indeed, would be MAGA-spun as corrupt Dems siphoning cash. Not remotely true, but that never stopped a MAGA liar.

I think that we all know that they're not remotely interested in cuts, or fraud, or corruption. They are interested in demolition; The feudal fiefdoms they imagine need a clean slate to spawn.

Agreed 100%, also with the idea of a shadow cabinet. Indeed, the latter - staffed with actual experts - could assess each new "policy" (hardly) initiative announced by the Klown Kar and shine a bright light on stupidity and/or insanity.

I wonder if we might divorce ourselves from the traditional labels:
Democracy vs. Dictatorship is too easily dismissed by the would-be fascists.
It's free-world vs. end-world.
That's it.

Never a doubt he'd renege. He's exporting the chaos he's spawned at home, w/ everyone seeking a lodestone of certainty in a country of broken compasses. Now he's injecting uncertainty into global markets, stymying nations, businesses, citizens ability to plan, invest, produce & trade. BOYCOTT HIM.

If he was trying to save money, he wouldn't have started with USAID. He demolished the Agency because it was investigating StarLink. That's it, nada mas.

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
– James Madison, The Federalist Papers, Number 47

Leave X. And publicly. Get out. There is zero point in dignifying a sewer.
