Trump is unhinged but remains a puppet of Putin. Putin bullies Trump but Trump never bullies Putin. Odd don’t you think!!??

Oh but Johnson professes to be a Christian. If you are a Christian you can break all of the commandments.

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it.

But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

Fascist Russia is at war with Western civilization.

The only country providing leadership in defence of the West is Ukraine.

Get behind Ukraine. Abandon the United States as that country has given up its position as leader of the Free World.

Fight with Ukrainians for victory.

If asked to choose to believe Trump or Zelenskyy, Trumps history of habitual lying would put him in second place.

It sums up his mental condition also. He is deranged as well as deluded.

Trump is probably a traitor but in any event he is no friend of western democracies. He admires Orban Lukashenko, Xi, Jung and Putin all of whom are dictators. He is a wannabe dictator but a puppet of Putin.

Two things
Firstly Trump is decisively sick
Secondly if he has time to post things like this then he isn’t giving enough time to take care of all American citizens …. Ooops I forgot he only looks after the top 1% so has plenty of time on his hands.

A year into this and it is still remarkable to see how much analysis of America's ability to influence the trajectory of key flashpoints in the global system simply skip over how far growing domestic instability inside the US will affect America's ability to project power

Since when has a cease fire been a peace agreement? The problem is that Trump has no idea what either is. I’m not sure who feeds Trump his lines but he cannot remember them and had no idea what they mean.

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages.

They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely.

They get pardoned when they commit crimes.

They ignore the laws.

There is zero congressional oversight.

Trump hasn't won a single concession from aggressor Russia. He hasn't even asked Russia to get out of Ukraine or stop manipulating American political life.

Art of the deal my ass! Trump is a Russian asset.

If Mike Johnson thinks he’s a Christian then Christianity is coming to an end. Which neighbour does MJ love other than Trump. He is the opposite of a Christian.

Congress appears to be history. Another way had to be found. Currently all you get from Republicans are lies lies and more lies with one unusual exception - MTG seems to have had an ephinany. Hopefully that will last a while.
