The Trump gang openly adopts Putin view on Europe & Ukraine. Why would Ukraine listen to anything the US says? The US cannot be an honest broker. Our job here is to get rid of Trump. Ukraine for now will have to rely on ingenuity, more guts that I can imagine, & European allies.

I love the Europe they hate. What is the free world? The State guards the individual, an uncanny achievement. The Russian/Trump model is compliance under terror, while the headman steals. All in the name of "America First," or the Russian "happy family." 1

Sen. Cotton calls the Carribean boat strike "righteous." And here we go into a Rodney King second-by-second breakdown of an assault. No. The US has no business murdering alleged drug dealers. We are heading into a pit.

How can Kushner & Witkoff represent US in Moscow? How can Trump operate crypto scams & sell meme coins while President? How is Trump able to continue in office while pardoning egregious criminals? What comes of a nation able to overlook outrages? That nation is in danger.

Furious at criminal highjacking of US. A criminal government The cabinet is full of sadists: Miller, Noem, Hesgeth. Not bad policy, sadists. Trump's thievery; his hatred of law; his murders at sea; his alliance with our enemies ... We are not safe. Patriotic duty to stop Trump & Co.

Mixed night. Afyten was great. Competitive in Tenn 7. On bad end, Trump dares to call Somalis "garbage." On same evil end, Kushner & Witikoff in Moscow assisting Putin in splitting the western alliance. Trump "incompatible" w/the West. Russia and gaudy capitols of dictators his home. Deport

War against cities; alliance with/dictators; contempt for democratic allies; whites-only immigration; creeping Nazism; abuse of women, greed beyond imagine. Trump is evil. He must go.

Trump’s trail: Hesgeth ruined, Ashley Babbitt dead. Curse them? Curse Trump. Trump modeled depravity for an eager Hesgeth. Trump took Babbitt into his fantasy world & she sacrificed herself.
December 1, 2025 at 11:47 AM
Trump’s damage spreading: ruined life of Hesgeth; injured future of servicemen; killed large # of suspected criminals; endangers any American in Caribbean. Handing power to a malevolent, mentally ill man, bad. Our Amin. Our Mussolini.

Indiana lawmaker: 'I just don't want my house firebombed.' The illegal order video strikes at heart of Trump's power: Violence. Hence the rage. Trump admires violence from men in good suits. Adoration of Putin; contempt for Zelensky. Trump has a violence fetish. 187 minutes watching on Jan 6.

Letter in NYT today re: 'extreme measures in the drug war.'
Writer says Trump's Carribean action "not wholly misguided;" says Trump "destroying drug boats." Destroying drug boats the least of it. Trump executes alleged criminals. This makes way for killing alleged criminals here in US. Duerte.
November 28, 2025 at 2:39 PM
The greater the offense -- invalidating the 2020 election; violent attempt at overthrow; murdering alleged criminals at sea -- the more complete the forgetting.
November 24, 2025 at 12:56 PM
The position of Ukraine is beyond imagine: Russian human waves one side; Donald "brilliant, savvy" Trump the other. I bow before Ukraine's plight. Yet, I say: Trump is a liar. He hates resistance to tyranny. He yearns to join Putin as co-gangster dividing the world. Steer clear & best wishes.

Bret Stephens wants removal of Maduro. Over twenty years ago I cheered for removal of Saddam. The case seemed overwhelming to me. That set us on long path of steady violence far away, & perhaps to Trump. Underneath all, I would not go to war with Trump.

Distinguish Epstein from Murder at sea. Epstein is historic crime & current gov’t corruption. At sea is murder & misuse of US military. The former drips; the latter is urgent.
November 17, 2025 at 10:45 AM
Hesgeth works for Trump. Hesgeth will do anything. He will empty the military of sound men, put in opportunists. Hesgeth will kill abroad & at home to please Trump.
November 8, 2025 at 1:05 PM
Note a remark in NYT by Right-wing Harvard professor. He's nforgiving to conservatives who split away
We must cultivate former conservatives who break from Trump. These conservative/liberals crack open the right wing as we never could. Welcome Cheneys, MTG, & all.
November 7, 2025 at 1:30 AM
I believe part of Trump's purpose is murdering people at sea is to match his idol, Putin. Trump shrinks in front of Putin, because of Putin's closeness to killing. Trump wants to stand level with Putin.
October 28, 2025 at 8:18 PM
Silence is doom. Do not let any outrage pass. Left unchallenged,Trump's menaces -- 'retribution,' 'day of love,' 'more than the National Guard,' 'poisoning our blood," etc. -- become a baseline. Just now he's asked if he really wants a 3d term. No. Charge him w/his conduct. Do not beg.
October 28, 2025 at 4:10 PM
NYT now: 4 boats destroyed, 14 dead. This is Duerte-style execution. Execution outside of the law. Murder at Trump's say-so. This is dishonorable and must stop. Schumer & Jeffries must speak. US name being blackened. Every Dem speak. Afraid of what you might hear? Find out now.
October 28, 2025 at 3:57 PM
We need a coalition. Put aside past disputes. Rand Paul more direct about Trump’s murdering than most Democrats. We need Rand Paul.
October 26, 2025 at 8:54 PM
Simon Rosenberg points out Trump will not talk with Democrats. They are the enemy. Putin, yes. Hamas, yes, any dictator, yes. But the line is drawn at Democrats. This signals a break with our system. This is delegitimization of democratic opposition. Trump will not cede power.
October 26, 2025 at 8:18 PM
Trump is targeting Colombia because the Colombian president eloquently denounced Trump. People at sea (who may be committing bad crime) are being murdered to enforce the silence of critics.
October 24, 2025 at 12:31 AM
Job #1 is stopping Trump from murdering people. He cannot choose who dies. Congress must control Trump’s use of deadly force.
October 24, 2025 at 12:19 AM
DeSantis in today’s NYT. I am open to anyone willing to oppose Trump. The test of DeSantis’ good faith
is whether he will oppose Trump’s effort to corrupt the midterms.
