Tom Nichols article entitled "It was an Ambush" published in the Atlantic is an important read. Some excerpts included in this post.

“Friday, February 28, 2025, will go into the history books as one of the grimmest days in American diplomacy, the beginning of a long-term disaster that every American, every U.S. ally, and anyone who cares about the future of democracy will have to endure.” Quote Tom Nichols. The Atlantic.

This is what ardent NYT _conservative_ Bret Stephens is saying. Anyone with any sense knows that today was an absolute disaster and disgrace for the United States.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Why don’t you wear a suit?

“Imagine if…Trump and Vance told [Netanyahu]that the war with Hamas had gone on too long, too many lives had been lost and it was costing America too much money, so it was time for Bibi and the Israeli people to do a deal with the Hamas aggressor.” Quote Thomas Friedman NY Times Article 2/28/25

Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America. Watch @therickwilson.bsky.social n react: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6_m...

If the government were functioning, I’d be against a shutdown. The government is not functioning. Democrats should stand their ground and refuse to fund DOGE. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Perhaps Nikki wants to consult a mirror?

Exactly

Trump refers to the leader of our ally as “Governor Justin Trudeau” but refers to the leader of our adversary as “President Vladimir Putin.”

This is a booze post: for Bourbon - drink Still Austin (queer owned) or Uncle Nearest (Black woman owned). If you don’t wanna drink American, use Canadian: Crown Royal Special Reserve or BRBN Bourbon Style Whisky. You’re welcome. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🥃

Allison Gill on Mitch McConnell: if your dumb ass would have voted to convict and barred him from office, we wouldn’t be here. YOU are embarrassing and costly.

Oh. The. Irony.

It’ll take 100 Years to restore trust

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

Not asking much… Make America Normal Again

👀

BREAKING: MASSIVE Ukraine rally in Washington, D.C. right now. Americans care even if Trump doesn’t.

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

"Golden Era"

Need to start a new movement. MASA. Make America Sane Again.

Ronald Reagan to Europe: “Your hopes are our hopes, and your destiny is our destiny.” Fallen, fallen is the Republican Party.

AP sues Trump, stocks crash, consumer confidence plummets, Trump fires the ICE director over poor deportation numbers, GOP has horrible fundraising numbers, and more. Catch up on today's news!

NEW: The Associated Press is suing Trump Administration officials in federal court for banning AP reporters from events over the organization continuing to use the name 'Gulf of Mexico.' AP says the ban violates the First and Fifth Amendments.

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

It was always America or Trump. Mitch McConnell made his choice a long time ago. Now, his legacy will always be tied to Trump and the attempt to destroy democracy.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Illinois Governor Pritzker compares Trump to the Nazis Great speech. I think we just found the leader of the resistance.

These are talking points straight from the Kremlin. It is clear that Trump’s plan to “end the war” is to remove Zelenskyy, replace him with a Putin stooge, and then let Putin take over Ukraine.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Dark Pence is back.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Zelenskyy: Trump is living in a “disinformation space”

Sean Hannity’s interview with Donald Trump and Elon Musk was “an hour of conversation among three men who have no idea how American democracy works,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/1ZbiqPfz
