George, what would you advise: that NATO give up on the US and incentivize Trump to move even more overtly toward Putin, or practice some strategic appeasement in the hopes of outlasting his 4 years?

Trump knows he's lying about NATO Article 5, but his cult neither knows nor cares. And he knows it.

If a president was a compromised agent of Russia, would he be doing anything differently than Trump?

Trump's economic strategy is "Yoyonomics"—strings attached & all

It'd also be a good bet that threats against judges source from the J6 insurrectionists, with high odds on Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. That's why Trump freed them.

You know what they say about "small ratings"...

Trump's "I"-flation is certainly getting worse

Pressure on Russia? Putin is being asked to attend a victim recovery course to help heal his hurt feelings...

Navarro: "You need a spectometer [sic]..."
Sounds like Peter is chasing ghosts.

Speaking of lapel pins, I suggest Dems switch to wearing a facsimile of the Constitution instead of the flag—the former superior to the latter.

This is old news, but maybe hasn't caught up with your cruise: Ben & Jerry's stopped making Dastardly Mash. ☹️

Waltz complains about Zelenskyy's "shaking of the head side-to-side" being disrespectful while shaking his head side-to-side. GOP hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug.

Headline "Prime minister says UK must strengthen relationship with US for security and says tit [sic] is indispensable." Freudian slip on how to feed Trump's ego?

Johnson trusting Musk's word on what constitutes "fraud" is like accepting the GOP's definition of what constitutes "patriotism."

Clearly, so clearly, has Trump forfeit the mantle of "Leader of the Free World" in exchange for being Putin's "First Flunky."

In responding to the accusation that not wearing a suit in 'this country's highest office' is disrespectful, I wish Zelenskyy had added to his retort, "like Elon Musk?"
comment in response to

I too am utterly disgusted by Trump, Vance, and Maga's treasonous theater, and I whole-heartedly endorse Zelenskyy calling them out.

Has anyone delved into the side-effects of long-term Ketamine use? Might explain (not excuse) a lot.
comment in response to

Every mention of Elon ought to reference his Ketamine use. How many DOGE decisions are fueled by Ketamine?

It'll probably take more than getting shot on 5th Ave for Trump cult to defect.

Hmm, "Republicans have given up on Democracy" seems a bit understated. It feels more like they've been bidding their time weakening its institutions and with Trump & Musk they now sense blood and are leaping in for the kill.

Massive federal reduction is what the GOP has publicly sought for decades but haven't voted for because their own (now MAGA) constituents would suffer. But now they complicitly hide behind Elon and not-so-secretly cheer him on.

I hear some whistleblower named Beelzebub who used to work for God just turned him in for misspelling Donold's name. That's gotta sting.

How about this for a definition of 'Trump Cultist': "someone who can not conceive of the possibility that Trump might be telling them what they want to hear (lies) to obscure a nefarious agenda that inures only to his benefit without regard to theirs."
