The New York Times insists on treating Christopher Rufo not as a far-right activist who has been successfully pushing an ideologically defined rightwing agenda, but as a respectable conservative voice and a serious interlocutor on key political issues. That is an active, deliberate choice.

Living Colour releases their debut LP today in 1988 — with “Cult of Personality”, a song inspired by a chat during rehearsal about what makes a leader charismatic. “Vernon played a riff,” said drummer Will Calhoun. “And next we knew we had a song. All while we were setting up for sound check.”

So, Trump's brilliant plan for "peace" was to cut off Ukraine’s air defenses so Russians could pour ballistic missiles onto the people of Ukraine until the daily massacres force the survivors to yield to Putin's demands. The Great Dealmaker is merely Putin's whore.

Trying to pressure Zelensky into an apology, knowing he won’t, is just an excuse for the US to shift blame for its own failure to reach a truce with Russia - something that would make Trump look weak. Do you expect Vance to ever treat Netanyahu the same way he did Zelensky?

When I see US officials gaslighting Zelensky, most Ukrainians perceive it as an attack on our Constitution, which only boosts his popularity at home. The level of disinformation from senior U.S. officials reminds me of Colin Powell’s anthrax vial demonstration at the UN

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.
