Trump can stop Putin by supplying US weapons and intelligence. However it is hard to use the word "intelligence" with the Trump administration.

The falling price for oil weakens Russia economically. Now is the time to provide Ukraine with more military help to take out Russian military air fields to stop glide bombs from destroying apartment buildings.

Trump has the attention span of a gnat, so he will forget about Ukraine and return his focus to destroying government agencies.

Marco Rubio gave up his Senate seat to play second fiddle to one of Trump's incompetent buddies. Witkoff believes everything Putin tells him.

Farmers in Red states care about detailed weather information.
They didn't vote for a trade war or to have weather forecasting eviscerated.

The Ukrainians are fighting a defensive war. The Russians are fighting an offensive war. How can anyone be upset with the Ukrainians defending themselves? Trump is a moron, but everyone in the government is not.

Boomers graduated into the Reagan recession and extraordinarily high interest rates. I bought a house when FHA mortgages were 18%.
Boomers didn't graduate with high debt.
Older boomers graduated high school during the Vietnam war.

Weren't there Pharaohs who erased any record of their predecessor from memory? Couldn't we have our brains cleaned of his memory when he's gone? This happens all the time in science fiction.

I think George w Bush won, because he came across as warmer and less intellectual than Al Gore.
People voted for Trump because his bullying projects strength.

What! Ukrainians aren't targeting playgrounds?

Russia wouldn't be bombing apartment buildings, if they were serious about peace.
Russia doesn't want a country with fair elections on its border.

Why does Trump have to damage everyone's retirement account in order to help them?
I'd prefer to rely on the free market than the guy who went bankrupt multiple times.

The US could stop the attacks on Ukrainian civilians, by allowing American weapons to target Russian air bases. The US would also have to rent to sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

Marco Rubio's tombstone will say, "I capitulated".
He has lost any shred of moral or political character. He's the second fiddle on foreign policy in the Trump administration.

NATO should be striking air force bases flying planes with glides bombs that are attacking apartment buildings.

If ICE treats a German national inhumanely, imagine how they treat someone named Jose or Mohammed.

You have to move to New York.

I'm buying in on IDEV and IQLT. It's good to rotate into other markets with a lower PE ratio and more same government policies. I will sell a bit of IVV to pay for increased international exposure

I don't think you can rationalize with a person this stupid. I've never punched anyone, but he is eminently punchable.

Let's just ban Russian transit through NATO waters. They should pay for cutting cables.

Penn station is a hideous maze which is the entry point into NYC or a transit point within the city. Madison Square Garden should move and the station should be a better designed building.

No the Russian murderers should be in a South Carolina prison where justice is a firing squad.

When Rand Paul becomes the sanest Republican, we have entered dark times. The others are too obsequious to Trump's ever changing issues

Trump is not a strong man. He's a bully whose businesses have been financed by Russian oligarchs. He thinks shouting is a sign of strength. Trump desperately wants history to remember him as a great negotiator, but he'll be remembered as Putin's b****.

Trump frees toxic masculinity heroes. Otherwise known as men accused of sex trafficking and assault. MAGA.

Trump went bankrupt 4 times, so he was a failed businessman who ran for president as a Russian stooge. Somehow if you express your ideas with a loud voice, people think you are strong.

I can't believe Collins was reelected. I'm not sure I believe in term limits, but we could set a max age to 75. There are too many octogenarians in government.

You should have seen the Trump lawn signs with the message "Peace through Strength".
People vote for the bombastic bully hoping for a more peaceful world, but the former US strategy showed more strength.

Macron understands that the security of Europe is at stake.
Trump overestimates Russia's economic and military power. NATO could wipe out Russia's military. Russia has a GDP similar to Italy.
Trump holding a summit with Russia is negotiating from a point of weakness.

Trump behaves like a Mafia boss, but is negotiating with people way smarter than he is.

Trump will also die soon. Both Putin and Trump have less than 10 years left, God willing. Both hope to leave long lasting legacies, but history will not be kind.

Tariff inflation will add to the food and energy increases. Deporting undocumented workers will discourage people from entering, but will raise the prices of food and services.

Hegseth wants to surrender in advance. He's negotiating from a position of weakness.

I was in high school when Nixon resigned, and finally think the country is more divided than in the Vietnam war era. I wish I weren't as concerned about the survival of our fragile democracy.

My daughter's basic training and national guard unit are filled with minorities, women and noncitizens.
You can rename military bases after Confederate generals, but it doesn't help black soldiers feel welcome.
Not everyone in the military is a he-man.

Yet Republicans have handed all power to Trump, since they know if they will have primary opponents if they don't comply. I have no idea why anyone finds Trump charismatic.
It took 57 days for Hitler to destroy the government. Yet Trump may be at his record.

The elected drug addict is dangerous enough. We don't need unelected drug addicts. Trump should stay since he was elected, and Musk should return to South Africa.

Trump is a petty little bitch. I don't know why he's so nasty. He either wasn't loved enough as a child, or should have been disciplined for being a sociopath.
Revoking security clearances from former public servants, is the act of a petulant child.
God help us.

Elon and Don-old have lived past their expiration date. Please replace them with a less sociopathic model.

Ukraine won't sell their rare earth metals for such a paltry sum. If US trade wars with China cut off Chinese supply, Ukraine needs air defense systems to protect against Russian aggression.

All the moderate Republicans vote in lockstep with Trump. If half of them are defeated by strong candidates, the Republicans lose the house. I always contribute to the "Red to Blue" candidates and not to defeat Republicans in safe districts.

No, Americans voted for the draft dodger who acts like a bully, but can barely walk.

Yet half the US voted for a profoundly arrogant man who inherited a real estate empire.
Negotiating means coming up with deals beneficial to both sides.

Didn't the Continental Army take over the airports? Trump couldn't read from the teleprompter correctly, so he said something moronic.

Congress controls the power of the purse. The president can't usurp congressional powers unless there is no opposition from Congress.

The Saudis gave Jared Kushner billions for an investment firm, despite being totally unqualified. And yet the Republicans talk about the corruption of the Democrats.

I always pictured Trump choking on a french fry, not from having his arteries harden from the daily cheeseburger. Trump has outlived his sell by date, and yet he's still breathing.
