Trump’s bromance with Putin isn’t just gross; it’s deadly. When America can't spot an enemy, it’s not strong. It’s stupid. And stupidity has consequences.
He got just what he deserved. The whole world knows what he is and what he is doing. They are as disgusted with him as we are. They probably only saw a little old orange man trying to be a president with no idea of how to do it. The sad thing is, that we have to see that every day.
Clearly Trump models his leadership, if you can actually call it that, after Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. He yearns to be feared by all Americans. He would like nothing better than to be publicly gushed about by sycophants who secretly loathe and fear him. It doesn’t make sense but then malignant narcissists have a completely different mindset than most people.
You hit the nail on the head Eddie. He doesn’t care if people love him or fear him. In fact, fear fuels the fire. It was ingrained in him as a boy because he feared his own father and now he wants to emulate that. Putin shows him love, though more like the love a parent has for an annoying, whiny child who they have to put up with more than they would like.
I was going to say, Nancy Hallo, MD. If that's what he considers love, from Putin, than there is no hope for him.
I remember reading not too long ago, how much Adolph Hitler loved his mother (who no joke, was supposed to be a sweet, nice person). Devoted to her children. She had breast cancer which metastasized and she had an awful end. But Hitler never forgot her doctor, who was Jewish, and very kindly, and in 1940 allowed the doctor and his wife to emigrate from Austria to the US. One would think that would have been his origins of his hatred, but it wasn't.
So here you have Donald Trump, who from everything I have read got no love (Maybe indulgence...different things) from his parents, yet Adolph Hitler who truly loved and grieved for his mother became know as the 20th Century's world most horrifying mass killer in history. I know all of these things stem from childhood, it's just how do you know when it's going turn so wrong. Plenty of normal backgrounds like that turn out ok.
It's not even secret. People publicly loathe AND fear him. Who is not afraid of what his next insane, EO, fight, lawsuit, or shakedown is coming? I think he actually yearns to be loved, because clearly no one does, and he doesn't know what the word love means no matter how many hookers he buys. "Your favorite President" Love letter from Kim Jong-Un". Maybe Ivana loved him (or was it his money? No idea). Does anyone think Melania loves him? His children? (maybe Ivanka but they say she's the most like him. Not surprised). He wouldn't have "friend" if he wasn't who he is. Even Walt Nauta would spit in his eye if there was a coup!
The corporate legacy media is also to blame. They hyped his image as a tough and (cough cough) successful businessman. In addition to giving him free airtime worth millions. While neglecting his long list of perversions and history philandering.
So true, this SCROTUM, in other words, the Supreme Repulsives of Corruption, have been instrumental in the demise our country faces now. With Citizens United creating bribery as legal, which they base their rulings on their " donations" from rich rethugs, to now the stupidest law of "immunity". They made up this law out of whole cloth. They are actually only to interrupt laws according to the constitution. There were no laws or precedents and certainly not in the constitution whatsoever granting immunity especially to the president. So they overstepped their own purpose according to the constitution. Now, Fuckoladoodle is actually bypassing the SCROTUM and ignoring their rulings, he laughing at this pathetic Court by being ass wipes to Fuckoladoodle's whims for far to long...
The rationale, logic and justification behind both Citizens United and complete immunity especially for a FOTUS (Felon of the United States) was insane. And now to the Reich Wing court jesters I say FAFO.
“If we can’t even agree that a brutal authoritarian regime hellbent on expanding its power is our enemy, then what the hell are we even defending anymore?”
Exactly right. My great fear is that we are forgetting how to think, how to process anything that isn’t handed to us in a sound bite or on a screen. That, combined with no clue on basic civics, is a deadly combination for a democracy. Ignorance and sloth creates a void which, more often than not, is filled by nefarious players.
Any elected representative not sounding alarm bells should be impeached.
We have to keep the masses informed about the truth. Putin is a monster. Trump is a walking, talking lunatic who barely knows reality himself. Keep writing, keep us pumped up to fight his planned oligarchy! Thanks!
It’s willful ignorance! Everyone knows who Putin is, how he rules and what communism is. They just will happily follow their con cult leader right down the path to the end of this country.
Critical thinking is not appreciated by the cult. I watched an interview with the anti-Putin Russian scientist on PBS who came back from France with supposedly undeclared petri dishes, and was immediately taken into custody and whisked off to Louisiana. She talked about how Russia is an authoritarian country. If you speak about the war, you can get 15 years in prison and no one is allowed to badmouth Putin. This is why we need to band together and fight to keep that from happening here because it could if we let our guard down.
Several years ago the media was owned by 50 different companies. Today six corporations own and control most of the media. If you control the message you can control the people.
Conservatives are not patriots. They are Hate-triots. Their hate has consumed them to the point where they can no longer differentiate between right and wrong.
I hear MAGA complain about the cost of aid to Ukraine, but I never hear them talk about international law violations, or that on the same day as the Zelensky Oval Office verbal flogging that Trump gave Israel another $2 Billion….
Haven't seen anything yet about tRump at the funeral, but do expect him to be tweeting about how much they love him, how they think he's the greatest president. I don't expect him to say anything about Pope Francis just about himself. I wish he would go live in Russia and leave the people of the US to build a great Democracy again. One where we honor the Constitution and our peoples. I am so tired of all this bullshit. I want peace from our government. I want capable people at the top and on down. I want our country to not be the laughing stock of the whole world. I want tRump and his goonies gone. I want peace. God Bless and God Bless America.
On the bright side, Zelensky got an ovation on arrival at the Popes funeral. Trump 🤡 got nothing ………….
t would get a standing-o from the world if he just dropped dead.
He got just what he deserved. The whole world knows what he is and what he is doing. They are as disgusted with him as we are. They probably only saw a little old orange man trying to be a president with no idea of how to do it. The sad thing is, that we have to see that every day.
It is certainly heartening to see the attitude of the world towards him - and to remember the rebukes of the late pope towards his conduct.
Saw that. Made me happy.
That at least was Beauty!

Very true Robin. Good example.
Blame for all of this is as follows:
3. Trump and His Inner Circle
2. Congress on the Republican Side putting their position ahead of the constitution, esp McConnell
3. Dumb America, all 77M who voted for this
John Roberts and the corrupt SCROTUS had a lot to do with creating this monster.
Forgot them as well. From giving POS absolute power, there are two absolutely corrupt members in his pocket getting rich
The corporate legacy media is also to blame. They hyped his image as a tough and (cough cough) successful businessman. In addition to giving him free airtime worth millions. While neglecting his long list of perversions and history philandering.

Being told not to believe our own eyes or the knowledge from history too!
Well said

We are well on our way..Already in a Constitutional crisis. Some say this summer-make or break?
🫶🏻👏🏻!! If only more people (especially those with cable news shows) spoke the truth as courageously as you do! 🩷💯
Several years ago the media was owned by 50 different companies. Today six corporations own and control most of the media. If you control the message you can control the people.
They can't speak the truth or they get cancelled.
If only….
Trump is not the only to be blamed...please highlight the Netflix's documentary The Family!!!
So the Orange Turd doesn't seem to own a black suit -
Surprised. It's so slenderizing, along with a 4 foot long tie LOL

Yep everyone I know ( MAGA) has one common thread they LOVE TO HATE they love the appearance of money they have zero common sense zero empathy
I hear MAGA complain about the cost of aid to Ukraine, but I never hear them talk about international law violations, or that on the same day as the Zelensky Oval Office verbal flogging that Trump gave Israel another $2 Billion….
"I hear MAGA complain about the cost of aid to Ukraine." ~ You'll notice they're not complaining about the price of everything else.
I will say I saw MAGA expressing disbelief at Trump claiming this week that groceries and gas prices are down drastically.
Israel deserves it. God's chosen land.

Right on Michael!
Trump is just the puppet.
Of the broligarchs? Of Steven Miller fronting for Project 2025 and writing the EOs? Wonder if felon-47 even knows what he’s signing?
Not a puppet, but a student trying to mimic authoritarian regimes control over their people.
If red states defected to Russia. It would be legal to kill republitards.
