Thus spake Demosthenes! Nice to see you, old friend! I would add: It’s a small price to pay to ensure the billionaires and billionaire-adjacent can be just a bit more comfortable. Besides, the kids’ll be fine; they’ll have been cooked (🌎) by the time the bill comes due.

And when the links to Russia are revealed - and they assuredly will be, he and his top lieutenants should be taken forth into the street and publicly executed for treason. You can’t go easy on fascists. Democracy is not synonymous with leniency. Ask the Athenians.

Which one of us is going to give Kremlin Krasnov the news that he Europe suggests he take a flying fuck at the moon for starters?

Too late, US Rep Gerry Connolly (Dem, Virginia) - the guy Dem leadership picked over AOC to be ranking member on the House Oversight Committee - already has instructed Federal employees to surrender. F*cking worthless, do-nothing Dem leadership. Citizens - we got this ('cuz they sure don't).

F*ckin A! Treat him like the boorish, pompous imbecile that he is. No respect for the office, which he’s defiled, and absolutely none for the cockroach itself (not deserving of the label “man”). And yes, I know the Hutus threw that term around. Here, it fits.

Trump has two approaches to everything; it’s either (1) a grift, or (2) extortion. Since Zelenskyy and Ukrainians are too smart to fall for grift (unlike so many Americans), Trump goes with extortion. Give us (that is me and my billionaires) whatever we want, or else. Quite obvious. Just say no.

Don’t piss on my back and tell me it’s raining. Actions speak louder than platitudes.

Trump doesn’t give a damn what Americans think; never has: He has nothing but contempt for the rubes. All that matters is payday for Trump. I’m an atheist but he makes a strong case for the existence of the Antichrist. He must be opposed, in all ways, all the time. No compromise with Evil.

Frankly, at this point, it’s a certainty the USA leaves NATO- though I’d prefer to see the Europeans vote to eject it. America is as corrupt and narcissistic as Trump. Truth hurts.

That just epitomizes Musk, Tesla and the billionaire class. Hawking shit (like trickle down economics) that just doesn’t work.

For apologists protesting 'the Dems have no power and can do nothing' I have only this: 'What did Dems do when had power?' Their disconnect from popular issues enabled the conditions that made Americans ignorant and angry enough, to prefer Trump to the Dems.

While low defense spending of some NATO nations is, indeed, dangerously low, 5% is totally nuts. Poland, which has been on a tear with its defense spending, is still spending less than 5% of its GDP (4.12%). The USA spends only 3.38% of its GDP on defense. 5% is BS; just cover for USA to leave NATO.

Precisely the sort of lesson for how one responds to fascism that I only wish more Americans would learn.
