Trump: “I love the Dark Crystal! Can I have it?”
The Dark Lord hesitates, then sighs: “Oh, OK, I guess. We’ll have to make a new one so that I can commit more evil but that should not be a problem.”

36% of the US population is extremely judgemental, vengeful, mean-spirited, selfish and cruel. They’re called MAGAts, Trump is their man and there is nothing he can do that will shake their devotion to him.

Putin has judged astutely that Trump, Kushner and Witkoff will do anything, suffer any insult and trash America’s reputation to any extent in their relentless pursuit of money. And he’s right.
