nobody could have predicted this
It’s clear that the primary interest of the US in “peace negotiations” is to create opportunities for Trump, Witkoff, their family members, business partners and cronies to make billions from business deals with Russia, and Ukraine is just the annoying nuisance in the way.

I've been on tenterhooks
ending in dirty looks,
list'ning to the Muzak,
thinking 'bout this 'n' that.
She said that's that.
I don't wanna chitter-chat.
Turn it down a little bit
or turn it down flat.

Someone’s got it backwards; resisting illegal orders is a constitutional imperative. *Issuing* illegal orders is treason.

This fool seems to think that equal thirds of us are receiving benefits from Medicare, Obamacare, and private insurance. In reality, about 10% are in O-care, around 44% receive Medicare/Medicaid benefits, and anyone who gets insurance through the workplace is also receiving a tax subsidy.
Comer: "This is a fake economy. You can't have 1/3 of America receiving some type of free government healthcare and then have another 1/3 that's getting a subsidized rate. That falls on the final 1/3 that's having to pay increased premiums."

you couldn’t ask for a better metaphor for Trumpism: he looks the other way while someone is in danger, and the secretary of health yeets himself away from the crisis.
