It is only a law if Trump sharpied it into existence as an EO.

Or if his chaos muppets decide it's adequately antiquated & bigoted enough to be acceptable.

Love of parasites is a powerful thing.

Gabbard has been a Kremlin asset for ages, but don't give Trumplandia more credit for cohesiveness than it deserves.

The infighting here is real & I hope Europe & Europe's friends can exploit the rivalries, most of which are rooted in self-interest, not ideology.

Yeah, "if that's what they're trying to do" is the key phrase for me...

Hard to keep gaslighting an entire nation when you've run out of gas.

We've seen how well autocracy works for Putin, when his generals won't risk their necks telling him the truth about the actual state of things & assured him that taking over Ukraine would be a cakewalk...

And don't ever suggest that the 'take care' clause of the Constitution applies to laws not sharpied into existence by his own self.

Even though he's a habitual liar, there have been a few instances lately when he didn't tell the lies I'd expect from him.

Not sure if he just forgot which lies to tell, or if he was not even cognitively able to distinguish which narratives *were* lies.

I doubt he ever did much apologizing, even in his youth. (I was going to say 'in his salad days', but I suspect the only salad he's familar with is word salad.)

What I'm finding fascinating about the dementia is when it seems like he forgets to lie.

Maybe Trump doesn't have adversaries...only countries that haven't bribed & flattered him sufficiently?

You can't appeal to his better nature—he doesn't have one—but you can definitely appeal to his rapacious greed.

Tell him they also have bitcoin mines there...he'll believe it. Don't tell him about all the earthquakes & volcanoes in the east unless you can make them sound like desirable assets.

Someone should tell him that Russia has *a lot* of unoccupied real estate...some of which has oil + rare earth metals.

Also, tell him eastern Russia is about 50 miles from Alaska (he probably doesn't know) & can't be very well-defended if Russia's military is preoccupied with Ukraine.
