Janet, honestly that is not so much how Europeans talk as how Americans talk. However, whatever they say to Trump, I am pretty sure it is not what they are saying among themselves.
I don't think they were coming with an ultimatum they were coming to clarify that it is Putin who needs to stop the war and Ursula van der Leyen already prepared a new package of sactions on Russia. I think EU and Ukraine need to hold the course and get the message that as long as they ask Trump to help out he is going to do the same kind of back stabbing the Putin does. Putin's network of dictators and despots is what Trump wants to be part of not some democracy alliance. He too wants to rob us blind and is robbing us blind. I am friends with the wife of one of the people on the German team. I don't think they think they can give Trump an ultimatum, although I would.
DJT has the nuclear codes and Europe knows he can’t be trusted to think clearly. They must handle the situation with kid gloves I think. Anybody (be they a leader of another country or a reporter) who stands up to him—calls him a liar to his face—knows they are taking a risk. Best case he throws them out of the meeting. Trashes them on Truth Social. Worst case he has a temper tantrum and orders a military response of some kind. They’re not going to risk it. Our governors are in the similar spot. They need to placate this guy. He has all these crazy loyalists around him who are in some kind of reality TV dream state who will help him do whatever he wants. It would be a big risk to call his bluff. I think Putin is banking on how vulnerable the world order is right now. Putin keeps stirring the pot with glee I think.
Hubby just told me that those other World Leaders will NOT be allowed in the room with Zelenskyy and orange fuckwit? WTFF? (what the flying fuck?) Could this be true? (hubby doesn't always get things right, ergo my need to ask...) Alternately, is frump too terrified that at least ONE of them will either slap him silly AND remind the Press OUT LOUD about what Jeff informed us (me for the first time, in fact), that Ukraine had disarmed their nuclear arsenal AND that WE had signed an agreement with them! The entire WORLD needs to know this - especially the dumbfuck magats here in the US! I still can't believe I didn't know this and feel downright stupid!
ok - I was out of the loop - literally did NOT want to watch orange 'daddy dumpy pants' as that hilariously funny (when she chooses) lady 'christinatalkst' calls him for fear I really would lose it this time if I saw anything close to the last Zelenskyy in the WH ambush. I've a migraine since yesterday and tempers are wearing thin here. I'm a bit surprised that hubby is close to tuning it ALL out. We CAN'T tune out and pretend to live as though what's going on won't affect us (his 'I did my bit, I'm tired' coming to the fore). Aargh,
Don’t beat yourself up Elizabeth there is so much going on it’s hard to remember everything! You know now and posted it sadly in the long run I’m afraid that TACO Donny will do nothing!! because he doesn’t remember that little nugget of information or gives 0 fecks about it calling it fake news!!
I think for Dump it's a question of whether it was in the old script he memorized when he was a kid to earn daddy's favor. That's what he's been operating on his entire life along with what was drilled into his head by that manipulative POS so-called lawyer Roy Cohn. He hasn't been able or wanted to learn any new thing since then including for his stint on The Apprentice. Which his producers reported years ago about what they tried but failed to get him to do to make his persona in the show even palatable. I think his whole life and persona is a humongous replay in which he's been churning out the same script over and over while his enablers reward him for it in millions of ways and $$$ to become a lifelong modus operandi. Horrible horrific and horrifying. Pardon the redundancy re the dunce. I mean Dump. I made my case.
Thank you, Cheryl. I'm glad for you and the other kind souls here. I did (on replay last night) notice that those stalwarts who backed up Zelenskyy - the shortest in stature but who stood HEAD AND SHOULDERS above cadet bonespurs, to a person had his back but close to sarcastically made sure to 'thank' demento profusely for 'hosting' the meeting, as did Volodymyr. All to avoid a toddler temper tantrum. It's simply insane that these world leaders have to do this. I was exhausted by then and could only shake my head in disbelief. They truly are diplomats in every sense of the word.
Alas an intervention only works when the person who is at the centre of one is open to listening and acknowledging a problem. I fear DJT doesn’t fit this attribute at all.
True dat Cam, Muscovite’s are living on breadcrumbs under an iron fist, while Putin wants the Aleksandr Dugin version of the old Soviet Union restored. Trumps nothing but a useful idiot to the Kremlin!
They should pull a Netanyahu and meet with the Democrats Hakeem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer. And basically say blue states you have all the money fuck these guys fuck them and tell the military you have a loser for a president and he would put you in a meat grinder without batting an eye and send you to an early death or Walter Ried with half a leg left. Wake up everybody this guy‘s a disaster
His ego knows no bounds Kathleen, he’s thinking about the Nobel he’s about to receive, the formidable gathering is proof in his terminally cretinous and demented smattering of grey matter!
For you, 108 protest signs for the fight. This is for Occupied D.C. Many signs are revised to sing. 🎶. I recommend using a local printer, but national print companies offer great pricing, shipping included. There is time to get the lot printed for your protest group, assuming you have a gathering of 300 to 1,000. This would help fill the hands of the signless.
Donny was planning to start praising the virility of Bela Lugosi because the similarities between Putin and a thirsty murdering bloodsucker are remarkable, but then Donny's sphincter failed (again) and he forgot all about it while calling for someone to come and wipe his ass.
"but life in America on a daily basis will be largely unaffected by whether there’s peace in Ukraine or not"
Apparently Rubio is unaware there are people from Ukraine who live in America, or people (like me!) of Ukrainian descent who live here, or people from/of descent from other European countries bordering Russia who are battening down the hatches for when Putin decides to invade them too who live here, or people who HAVE HUMAN SOULS AND THE CAPACITY TO CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE who live here.
Rubio is a soulless fucking sock puppet who does and says whatever is facile. What do you see in the mirror, Widdle Marco? We see a pathetic, unprincipled suck up.
Exactly. Of course what happens in Ukraine affects everyone across the world. It is within what is known as the world’s bread basket for starters. Putin destabilising the postwar European Peace Project even further will fuck with food distribution and cause more forced mass migrations. What about all the US soldiers who just recently participated in the biggest NATO military rehearsal in Europe since the last world war. Specifically in response to the rise of Putin’s Russia military aggression threats to Europe. Is Rubio signalling that America under Trump is going to pull all the US military presently posted across Europe out and recall all US ambassadors ?
Pooty is afraid of McFaul because McFaul knows and hates Pooter for who he is and can play chess he did it for years as Ambassador to Russkies. He knows all the counter moves already he’s smart and is a Prof at UofMN.
And abandoning the principle that national borders are not to be changed by force will plunge the world back into a period of wars springing up all over like in the early 20th century, except with deadlier weapons. This will certainly affect our daily lives.
My maternal grandparents were born in Warsaw - travelled to Bethlehem on a Pilgrimage (yup, the real one) supposedly separately and just coincidentally met and married there. We were sold this tale and believed it without question until a bell went off in my head more recently and I realized they likely were forbidden to be together so ran off to be married. My grandfather (djadja) was gardener for a French Convent in Jerusalem and my Grandmother Babcia (sp?) wetnursed orphaned babies. I have some old photos. My mother and her 2 older brothers were born and raised there. My Dad showed up in his British Army uniform - later joining the British Police Force just so he could stay with his new family -which she likely thought would lead to the life of luxury she believed she deserved. Ha! Glasgow was cold, gritty and very much not to her taste - so we were coming to America to be with her older brother - it took some years. Weirdly, she refused to teach me any Polish at all despite my affinity for languages and constantly writing letters to her Polish acquaintances. I've previously mentioned her nonstop abuse of her children and pets. Angry, angry woman - which led me to disavow any of the Polish in me. But it is there and they ARE next on Putin's list.
Elizabeth, both of my parents were Holocaust victims. My mother was born in Berlin. My father, Poland. Between them, they spoke 5 different languages. They never taught us any of them. We did, however, learn “Father, Son, Holy Ghost” in Polish. Why? Because Jewish boys were sent to Polish Catholic schools and made to stand throughout their studies, all day. As my father was growing up, he never knew Polish. He only knew Yiddish. My mother wanted to disassociate herself from being a German because the Nazis declared her stateless and a non-citizen. Gave her a “foreigner’s” passport. Her parents were gassed at the camp known as Chelmno, in 1942.
I am sorry for what your mother put you and your siblings through. She unfortunately took her anger and her disappointments out on all of you. That’s painful.
YOUR parents literally suffered from and due to Hitler and his Gestapo thugs - how horrid(!), and my heart is so heavy for them and you because you too carry their pain. My mother's family were all Catholics (afaik) and she was not only virulently anti-semitic but equally hateful towards anyone of any race or religion she singled out. IF she'd been a survivor like yours I could have understood her rage but she ranted often about how she was a pampered child among the European community in Jerusalem and 'gave it up for 'him!' I believe she set her sights on my Dad because he was dashingly handsome in his mid-20's when they met. Of course, his turning out to be a lowly Tram Driver in Glasgow (which paid very little) once they'd been forced to return there was a huge disappointment to her but certainly wasn't close to being on the level of others' horror stories from the camps. How could it be? She truly was a lifelong narcissist which is why I recognized it so early on in frump. I also used to joke that she was meant to be a Nun and not a married mother, which path would have assuredly made every one of us happier, yet my older sister (who's become her doppelganger) became furious at me while defending her, blaming my Dad as always. HE would hand over his paycheck every week even while being berated nonstop. She'd never worked until we came to the US and a neighbour got her into CitiBank doing clerical work at night. It was a bit of a relief for all of us since she couldn't be screaming/raging/cursing while sleeping during our awake times. However, she was awake when WE needed to sleep and had all that rage built up. 'Couldn't win for losing' as they say here in NY. Sigh. Appreciate you - I'm still haunted by those little boys having to STAND all day in class!
Thank you, Elizabeth. You bear many scars also but you climbed out of the abyss you were in and that is admirable. You took the survivors route. Bless you. In solidarity…💕
Marlene: you put into words what I never could. I hold you up as a survivor/warrior/sister/friend. Thank you, thank you, thank you for such kindness. Jeff is supported not only by his wonderful 'Mrs. Spouse' but by so many incredible women here who leave me astonished by their brilliance and hearts. This is not a slight against the lovely men who likewise support him and us - merely noting how safe a space this is for women with similar outlooks and experiences. I'm humbled to be in your midst.
Marlene, as you know that baggage is so deeply engrained in them i would just forgive them. She released it on all of us and maybe that stopped her pain a bit?
So, we've gone from ending the war on day one, to it's Biden's war, to "Pursuing Peace" plastered all over Alaska to "Nobody gives a shit." Well done, Marco.
Terrific summary - but remember, from now on anything and everything will be 'Biden's' fault: war, bad economy, bad borders even donny dumpy pants' own farting and falling asleep on camera.
I have a friend who married a woman from Poland. He quoted her as saying that, growing up, her family and everyone they knew were terrified of Russia every. single. day. And this was only about 25 years ago.
And also this is about STOPPING FUCKING RUSSIA FROM TAKING OVER the rest of the West. This is a proxy war where we absolutely have to stop them EVEN JUST THINKING ABOUT OURSELVES. Quite apart from the "we promised we'd protect them" and "we need to stop vicious Mafia rapist-murderers" and "it's the right thing to do."
But of course that was the argument ("it's an inconsequential little country that makes no difference to us") Chamberlain used about Czechoslovakia, exactly. Hey how'd that work out for him I wonder.
Poland is on Pooters list right after Belarus. It’s essential to stop him from getting any of Ukraine and having the populace kick him out you know it won’t end pretty. I always s say Pooty wants plunder and loot as much as control of a bigger Soviet empire.
Marco Rubio's appearances and photos since he became Trump's boy all look like a man who got dropped on some distant planet and he's trying to figure out how not to get eaten by something strange and find his way back to his old life, Ain't going to happen, Marco, you creepy twerp who threw out everything he ever stood for and believed in. All for Trump.
In their overwhelming zeal to be power adjacent, they have lost all sense of right and wrong, duty, ethics, morality, and principles, as well as how they will be viewed by history. They may realize too late that they've irrevocably detonated their legacies. It's already too late, MAGA dumbshits. The only way to salvage anything is to leave the cult and speak against it. Now.
Unfortunately, this turn to madness that has engulfed America may have irreparably damaged previously unassailable institutions here at home as well as relationships globally. One evil person did this, assisted by so many stupid, evil, dangerous stooges.
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan
In 2016, Marco actually thought he could be president… the only MAGAt from a tRump Regime who likely ever will be POTUS is JD the Maybelline Model and only because he is VP. They are all the damaged goods, not to mention evil idiots.
Yes, I thought his body language and expression AS they attacked President Zelenskyy in the White House would be Rubio's line in the sand, but no. He was clearly miserable and upset - yet sunk further and further into that cult, hoping no one would remember he was there 'in the room where it happened'. Too late. He's done.
Rubio is an invertebrate--always has been. His supposed "real" stance on an issue was his anti-Russia position; however, he only assumed that pose because it was what all the cool kids in the Republican party espoused. Once the GQP shifted to being Putin supporters, Rubio had to follow suit.
If he were a real boy, all hell would've broken loose in the Oval Office when Donnie Demento and Couchfuck verbally assaulted President Zelenskyy. But poor little Marco could only sink into the couch, like the amoeba he is--not daring to find out what it feels like to have a spine........
Kind of reminds you of long ago said to another sorry politician: Have you no sense of decency, sir? One wonders if there are any Republicans left in Congress who have any sense of decency anymore.
Charles, what a glorious thing it would have been if through some Rod Serling-esque Twilight Zone scenario your Dad's B-24 Liberator materialized over Joint Base Elmendorf -Richardson while the two worst dictators in the world were canoodling and let fly some of their WWII ordnance right on top of those two.
I would put good money on Rubio STILL feverishly imagining that some day he could ascend to the presiduncy - once frump kicks the bucket, vance melts off into obscurity and somehow he'll be the chosen one to latch onto the current magat cult base? He seems to have no clue they despise him as much as we do.
If Marco thought this was a stepping stone to the presidency, he's deluding himself. When he's out of office -- perhaps before Trump -- his political career will be over. He can go join Matt Gaetz in obscurity on OAN.
Wonder what the Cuba Libre conservatives and their offspring think of Rubio supporting America's capitulation to Russia's biggest totalitarian since Stalin.
It helps to remember that the Republican Party has been circling the drain at least since Newt Gingri(n)ch's heyday. Nowhere is it more obvious than in Trump's cabinet picks -- although the congressional Republicans are right up there. Mike Johnson? Chuck Grassley? Marjorie Taylor Greene? Jim Jordan? I could go on, and on, and on . . .
I hope Mitch McConnell strokes all the way out but spends the next decade staring into a liminal space in front of an empty mirror reflecting his soul.
Ooh! This could be an updated version of Sartre's NO EXIT. Or, come to think of it, Dante's DIVINE COMEDY. Put them all in the same place with no megaphone, no way to communicate with the outside world. All they can do is talk to and look at each other.
That's as close to hell as anything I can currently imagine.
"that’s right, even Fred Merz is coming.” Snorted coffee on that gif. 🤣
The level of incompetence is breathtaking in this regime.
Rubio is such a dick…. like “life will go on in America”. Screw you. Americans happen to CARE about what’s happening in Ukraine…and the great majority of us despise you and your boss.
What bothers me most, is that a good number of them are NOT incompetent. They know exactly what's going to happen when the U.S. withdraws humanitarian support and democracy for the rest of the world, and goes all-in on "America First" as Donnie and his minions envision it. Those people have abandoned their ethics and principles, and for WHAT? They must believe that they'll somehow be a stalwart in the New World Order According to Putin and Donnie, because they surely aren't aiming for the continuance of their political careers in the U.S. They're toast here (if we remain a democracy), and they know it. I truly believe that anyone with a conscience would be horrified at the back room conversations being held by republicans in the legislature and in trump's regime. How we get out of this, I can't even fathom. How do we eradicate a mindset based on false pretenses, without eradicating the people who promote such mindsets?
All the while our planet is in its death knell! What do those filthy MAGATS and their masters, the oligarchs, think their own children are going to do in 25 years, when crops are all failing and the biosphere becomes toxic, eat money? Oh, that’s right, they’re going to fucking Mars.
Have you noticed the number of "retruths" and "likes" the 'Bela' post generated? That gives us a clear indication of how many bots are programmed to respond to his every word.....even the purely nonsensical! Bela is our new cofefve.
I’m visiting Norway and today met a candidate for their Parliament. Once he realized I was an American, he laughed and said, “Boy, you’re in a mess over there! Trump let Putin speak first? You can’t be nice to him or believe a word he says. He’s a vicious liar and will walk all over you.” No surprise- We are the laughing stock of the world.
America is the village idiot who belongs in the stocks, with the rest of the world throwing rotting fruit and feces at his head. We've provided support for and grown complacent with genocide on many, many fronts. The visiting EU leaders should all threaten to boycott the Olympics and any other international jerkoff feel-good event involving the U.S. as host.
Even if fraud were proven, it says nothing good that it was even close: well over forty percent definitely did vote for him, which is a much larger vote share than Lyndon Larouche or Charles Manson ever got, and why?
I predict that Monday’s meeting will involve Trump rambling about mail in voting, the Melania opera house at the Trump Kennedy, asphalt and basement pumps in DC and Russia, Russia, Russia. Then Zelensky and the EU leaders will play him like the egocentric idiot he is, offering meaningless flattery, before telling him they will continue to oppose Russian aggression. Trump will claim a diplomatic breakthrough and announce that he is assuming control over the Grammys. Laura Trump will receive the Best Album award.
I just read that T💩p fired the family that has handmade the Kennedy Center awards for OVER 50 YEARS so that Tiffany (the jewelry store not the daughter named after the store) can take it over. ETTD. Everything!
Dave, Exactly. No one is paying attention to anything he tries to take over. They do make it way too easy for him. Push back! Don’t comply..force him to show why he can legally demand and command anything and everything. He acts like a dictator because everyone bows in front of him and complies!
Indubitably. Rumor has it that Melons was banging the head of security for Tiffany when they were located in the T💩p Tower. It would be irresponsible not to speculate.
BINGO Kim!!!! He talked about how Vlad said mail in voting was bad and NO COUNTRY 😂 uses it (BS). Even Putin allows mail in voting. (For what it's worth)
One of the funniest, in retrospect, things I ever saw was Dumpy telling Zelenskyy that he "doesn't have the cards" to succeed against Russia without the US, and then several months later, Ukraine sends out dozens of drones to blow up targets well inside Russia, an operation that took at least a year to plan. The most delicious part is that Zelenskyy had to have been thinking about those drones when Dumpy was berating him. Not only did Zelenskyy keep a straight face and perfect composure during Dumpy's and Justa Dick's tongue-lashing, nobody on his military staff ever discussed the plans on Signal or left paper copies of them in a printer tray in Moscow.
Betsy, you have the situation right, Z is making his own fucking cards and they have destroyed so much of Russkie war machine and N. Korea kimmy un has not been shooting his mouth off lately at all.
JFC...what an idiot. It just proves you don't have to be smart to be rich. I'm just a little ole retired schoolteacher and I'd be like "ahh, fuck NO, I think I'll use someone from the US embassy, thanks anyway Vlad" and BTW while we're at it, I need someone to either take notes or record this shit for me from MY side. Obviously they never worked for people they didn't trust. Maybe they need a bunch of teachers doing this. We are very distrustful of people in power and are used to getting shit on, so we know how to cover our asses. Find some really smart ones. We can get shit done.
Can't you just hear the snickering by the translator and putin after ole stevie walked out of the room. Hoo boy, I bet they high-fived and took Vodka shots celebrating how magnificently easy it was to feed him a bag of shit.
Remember in Trump 1.0, when he had private meetings with Putin without translators present? Or when it was reported that his translators were ordered to tear up their notes? Yeah... I'd sure like to hear about the conversations they witnessed.
Witkoff is another Russian asset in this regime full of them. I don't trust him further than I can throw an unfolded dollar bill. Which is what he's all about. Witkoff and his son selling out America for money. Typical MAGA
It's a basic requirement for most real estate developers to sell out for money, and to be in debt, too. I should know, my brother has been an aspiring real estate developer all his life. My mother handled all the money in our family. When she died, my brother got my father, a really good person, and legally blind, to sign something giving my brother half of his property so my brother could get a loan to pay off his expenses. According to the trust, half of the estate was supposed to go to me, the executor and the other half to him. Well, gee, I didn't find that out until eight years later. Of course he had it recorded right away, and my father, blithely thinking my brother could do no wrong, never mentioned it to me or our accountant, and apparently assumed that (I guess) that was the half my brother was supposed to get. Well, when we had the meeting about dividing up the estate, and he asserted that the half of the estate that was my share was actually only a quarter of the estate. I fought him and managed to get almost half of it ($440,000 out of $500,000) but we haven't spoken since.
I'm glad you received some of what you were due. I have heard numerous cases like this. There may be a phenomenon called undue influence for what your brother did, but it sounds like you don't need to revisit that.
Rubio is a great example of the deep corruption and lack of thought leaders give once they kneel to trump.
Use/share this spreadsheet (bit.ly/Goodtrouble) as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress, the Cabinet and news organizations. Reach out to those in your own state, and those in a committee that fits your topic. Call. Write. Email. Protest. Unrelentingly. We deserve better ❤️🩹🤍💙
I read that Trump said he was meeting with Zelenskyy alone first, then all the gang later. I’m wondering why? He won’t be able to ambush Z in public so a private ambush is planned? I count on Zelenskyy holding his own with the Orange Fuckwit.
The WH asked if he was going to wear a suit, according to Axios. They wanted to start humiliating him in advance, a man worth more as a human being than all of them combined and then some.
Zelenskyy is wearing a suit, sadly. He capitulated to White House demands. But he is in all black, so from a distance it looks very similar to the "normal" wartime clothing that he wears. (If he is wearing a tie--I haven't seen him closely enough-- it is black also.)
I love Putin holding his nose in the Beast - apparently YKW pooped his pants again. I think, though, the reason the whole Fox News Cabinet came out of the meeting looking like death warmed over was that Putin told YKW to smile when Putin shoves it in, or Putin will yank back every dollar YKW has got, because he's got the hackers, and he will show the receipts to the world of just how much Russia's "loaned" him. And that YKW's being followed everywhere, even to the toilet where they change his diapers, because MarALago is plentifully supplied with moles, one of whom's the diaper changer, while another is banging Melania while she gives him info. Prove me wrong.
I think the big hold that Putin holds over Trump is human trafficking and minors. White collar financial crimes are pretty much shrugged off these days. Pedophilia is not, outside of the MAGA world.
That's what I was thinking, too--that Donny laid a stinky one, and the unfortunate Pootie-Poot was stuck in the windows-up fart sar-cough-agus with him
BTW, not to sound like a complete oblivious dumbass, but what does YKW stand for?
Every day is a new horror from the inept woeful non-leader Golfcourse McChucklefuck.A new embarrassment that the people of this country have to endure on the world’s stage.More hapless antics from his Cabinet of misfit toys fucking up the cogs of this country and the entire planet.
my guess is Donny was going to say something about Belarus and then stroked out
News for Donnie. The world leaders aren't coming as a fan club; they're coming as an intervention.
I believe they're coming with an ultimatum. If they aren't, they should be.
Outstanding point, Leigh! May they hear and take your advice.
Sadly, I don't think they were thinking the same way I was thinking.
It appears not, unfortunately.
They're coming to say the US is getting kicked out of NATO is my guess. And mango will think that's good because his boss wanted that.
Janet, honestly that is not so much how Europeans talk as how Americans talk. However, whatever they say to Trump, I am pretty sure it is not what they are saying among themselves.
I don't think they were coming with an ultimatum they were coming to clarify that it is Putin who needs to stop the war and Ursula van der Leyen already prepared a new package of sactions on Russia. I think EU and Ukraine need to hold the course and get the message that as long as they ask Trump to help out he is going to do the same kind of back stabbing the Putin does. Putin's network of dictators and despots is what Trump wants to be part of not some democracy alliance. He too wants to rob us blind and is robbing us blind. I am friends with the wife of one of the people on the German team. I don't think they think they can give Trump an ultimatum, although I would.
DJT has the nuclear codes and Europe knows he can’t be trusted to think clearly. They must handle the situation with kid gloves I think. Anybody (be they a leader of another country or a reporter) who stands up to him—calls him a liar to his face—knows they are taking a risk. Best case he throws them out of the meeting. Trashes them on Truth Social. Worst case he has a temper tantrum and orders a military response of some kind. They’re not going to risk it. Our governors are in the similar spot. They need to placate this guy. He has all these crazy loyalists around him who are in some kind of reality TV dream state who will help him do whatever he wants. It would be a big risk to call his bluff. I think Putin is banking on how vulnerable the world order is right now. Putin keeps stirring the pot with glee I think.
Hubby just told me that those other World Leaders will NOT be allowed in the room with Zelenskyy and orange fuckwit? WTFF? (what the flying fuck?) Could this be true? (hubby doesn't always get things right, ergo my need to ask...) Alternately, is frump too terrified that at least ONE of them will either slap him silly AND remind the Press OUT LOUD about what Jeff informed us (me for the first time, in fact), that Ukraine had disarmed their nuclear arsenal AND that WE had signed an agreement with them! The entire WORLD needs to know this - especially the dumbfuck magats here in the US! I still can't believe I didn't know this and feel downright stupid!
The Budapest Memorandum is a historically well documented and important fact that has been discussed extensively since Russia invaded Crimea… hmm!!
There will be a Trump/Z one on one for an hour, then (I think) lunch, then the whole group will "negotiate."
How many Big Mac’s will Shitler try to feed Zelenskyy?
ok - I was out of the loop - literally did NOT want to watch orange 'daddy dumpy pants' as that hilariously funny (when she chooses) lady 'christinatalkst' calls him for fear I really would lose it this time if I saw anything close to the last Zelenskyy in the WH ambush. I've a migraine since yesterday and tempers are wearing thin here. I'm a bit surprised that hubby is close to tuning it ALL out. We CAN'T tune out and pretend to live as though what's going on won't affect us (his 'I did my bit, I'm tired' coming to the fore). Aargh,

Horrible horrific and horrifying. Pardon the redundancy re the dunce. I mean Dump. I made my case.
Thank you, Cheryl. I'm glad for you and the other kind souls here. I did (on replay last night) notice that those stalwarts who backed up Zelenskyy - the shortest in stature but who stood HEAD AND SHOULDERS above cadet bonespurs, to a person had his back but close to sarcastically made sure to 'thank' demento profusely for 'hosting' the meeting, as did Volodymyr. All to avoid a toddler temper tantrum. It's simply insane that these world leaders have to do this. I was exhausted by then and could only shake my head in disbelief.

True dat Cam, Muscovite’s are living on breadcrumbs under an iron fist, while Putin wants the Aleksandr Dugin version of the old Soviet Union restored. Trumps nothing but a useful idiot to the Kremlin!
They should pull a Netanyahu and meet with the Democrats Hakeem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer. And basically say blue states you have all the money fuck these guys fuck them and tell the military you have a loser for a president and he would put you in a meat grinder without batting an eye and send you to an early death or Walter Ried with half a leg left. Wake up everybody this guy‘s a disaster
AND on the offensive!
His ego knows no bounds Kathleen, he’s thinking about the Nobel he’s about to receive, the formidable gathering is proof in his terminally cretinous and demented smattering of grey matter!
But if he had any inkling that was the reason they were there, he would nix it immediately. Doesn't want to look weak or stupid. (;
Should work about as well as Christopher's intervention in the Sopranos.

Maybe he was listening to "Bela Lugosi's Dead".
He stopped at Bela because I doubt that he can spell Lugosi. Or even knows his last name.
👏🏼👏🏼😄
Or knows who he was...
Exactly Doc!
Trump isnt that cool.....I mean for real.
BELA = Beta Excited Load Ass, which is insider shorthand for his meeting with his Pootie.
Belarus is letting Pooter fire of weapons from Bela last week as well as Estonia am I wrong?
No no, he's outside looking in.
One of The Moody Blues best!
Played it just a couple of days ago. Thank you!
Always a treat when it pops-up on the iPod. Great album too!
Im betting his shits his pants, gets mad, and walks off.
For you, 108 protest signs for the fight. This is for Occupied D.C. Many signs are revised to sing. 🎶. I recommend using a local printer, but national print companies offer great pricing, shipping included. There is time to get the lot printed for your protest group, assuming you have a gathering of 300 to 1,000. This would help fill the hands of the signless.

Or he had been watching the Twilight movies. I like the stroke theory better. And Fred Merz was excellent btw.
Yes, any post with Fred Mertz and Buckaroo Banzai can't be beaten, unless Emilio Lizardo is included
Or someone mentioned a cheeseburger.
Good as any guess I could make.
We should be so lucky.
If only…
Donny was planning to start praising the virility of Bela Lugosi because the similarities between Putin and a thirsty murdering bloodsucker are remarkable, but then Donny's sphincter failed (again) and he forgot all about it while calling for someone to come and wipe his ass.
"but life in America on a daily basis will be largely unaffected by whether there’s peace in Ukraine or not"
Apparently Rubio is unaware there are people from Ukraine who live in America, or people (like me!) of Ukrainian descent who live here, or people from/of descent from other European countries bordering Russia who are battening down the hatches for when Putin decides to invade them too who live here, or people who HAVE HUMAN SOULS AND THE CAPACITY TO CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE who live here.
Fucking a.
Rubio is a soulless fucking sock puppet who does and says whatever is facile. What do you see in the mirror, Widdle Marco? We see a pathetic, unprincipled suck up.
Animals without backbones hid from each other or fell over...
-- F. Scott Firesign
Then came the sponges, which sucked up 10% of all life...
Watch out for them trailerbites!
Exactly. Of course what happens in Ukraine affects everyone across the world. It is within what is known as the world’s bread basket for starters. Putin destabilising the postwar European Peace Project even further will fuck with food distribution and cause more forced mass migrations. What about all the US soldiers who just recently participated in the biggest NATO military rehearsal in Europe since the last world war. Specifically in response to the rise of Putin’s Russia military aggression threats to Europe. Is Rubio signalling that America under Trump is going to pull all the US military presently posted across Europe out and recall all US ambassadors ?
Sounds like their plan.
Total surrender to Putin.
So angry…
Pooty is afraid of McFaul because McFaul knows and hates Pooter for who he is and can play chess he did it for years as Ambassador to Russkies. He knows all the counter moves already he’s smart and is a Prof at UofMN.
And abandoning the principle that national borders are not to be changed by force will plunge the world back into a period of wars springing up all over like in the early 20th century, except with deadlier weapons. This will certainly affect our daily lives.
They’re all selfish assholes
My father was born in Borslav Poland which is now in the Ukraine so I feel a strong kinship with the people there.
My maternal grandparents were born in Warsaw - travelled to Bethlehem on a Pilgrimage (yup, the real one) supposedly separately and just coincidentally met and married there. We were sold this tale and believed it without question until a bell went off in my head more recently and I realized they likely were forbidden to be together so ran off to be married. My grandfather (djadja) was gardener for a French Convent in Jerusalem and my Grandmother Babcia (sp?) wetnursed orphaned babies. I have some old photos. My mother and her 2 older brothers were born and raised there. My Dad showed up in his British Army uniform - later joining the British Police Force just so he could stay with his new family -which she likely thought would lead to the life of luxury she believed she deserved. Ha! Glasgow was cold, gritty and very much not to her taste - so we were coming to America to be with her older brother - it took some years. Weirdly, she refused to teach me any Polish at all despite my affinity for languages and constantly writing letters to her Polish acquaintances. I've previously mentioned her nonstop abuse of her children and pets. Angry, angry woman - which led me to disavow any of the Polish in me. But it is there and they ARE next on Putin's list.
Elizabeth, both of my parents were Holocaust victims. My mother was born in Berlin. My father, Poland. Between them, they spoke 5 different languages. They never taught us any of them. We did, however, learn “Father, Son, Holy Ghost” in Polish. Why? Because Jewish boys were sent to Polish Catholic schools and made to stand throughout their studies, all day. As my father was growing up, he never knew Polish. He only knew Yiddish. My mother wanted to disassociate herself from being a German because the Nazis declared her stateless and a non-citizen. Gave her a “foreigner’s” passport. Her parents were gassed at the camp known as Chelmno, in 1942.
I am sorry for what your mother put you and your siblings through. She unfortunately took her anger and her disappointments out on all of you. That’s painful.
YOUR parents literally suffered from and due to Hitler and his Gestapo thugs - how horrid(!), and my heart is so heavy for them and you because you too carry their pain. My mother's family were all Catholics (afaik) and she was not only virulently anti-semitic but equally hateful towards anyone of any race or religion she singled out. IF she'd been a survivor like yours I could have understood her rage but she ranted often about how she was a pampered child among the European community in Jerusalem and 'gave it up for 'him!' I believe she set her sights on my Dad because he was dashingly handsome in his mid-20's when they met. Of course, his turning out to be a lowly Tram Driver in Glasgow (which paid very little) once they'd been forced to return there was a huge disappointment to her but certainly wasn't close to being on the level of others' horror stories from the camps. How could it be? She truly was a lifelong narcissist which is why I recognized it so early on in frump. I also used to joke that she was meant to be a Nun and not a married mother, which path would have assuredly made every one of us happier, yet my older sister (who's become her doppelganger) became furious at me while defending her, blaming my Dad as always. HE would hand over his paycheck every week even while being berated nonstop. She'd never worked until we came to the US and a neighbour got her into CitiBank doing clerical work at night. It was a bit of a relief for all of us since she couldn't be screaming/raging/cursing while sleeping during our awake times. However, she was awake when WE needed to sleep and had all that rage built up. 'Couldn't win for losing' as they say here in NY. Sigh. Appreciate you - I'm still haunted by those little boys having to STAND all day in class!
Thank you, Elizabeth. You bear many scars also but you climbed out of the abyss you were in and that is admirable. You took the survivors route. Bless you. In solidarity…💕
Marlene: you put into words what I never could. I hold you up as a survivor/warrior/sister/friend. Thank you, thank you, thank you for such kindness. Jeff is supported not only by his wonderful 'Mrs. Spouse' but by so many incredible women here who leave me astonished by their brilliance and hearts. This is not a slight against the lovely men who likewise support him and us - merely noting how safe a space this is for women with similar outlooks and experiences. I'm humbled to be in your midst.
Marlene, as you know that baggage is so deeply engrained in them i would just forgive them. She released it on all of us and maybe that stopped her pain a bit?
So, we've gone from ending the war on day one, to it's Biden's war, to "Pursuing Peace" plastered all over Alaska to "Nobody gives a shit." Well done, Marco.
Fucking-A, Major King. You nailed it. The Trump dumpster fire never gave two shits about anyone. Period.
Terrific summary - but remember, from now on anything and everything will be 'Biden's' fault: war, bad economy, bad borders even donny dumpy pants' own farting and falling asleep on camera.
I have a friend who married a woman from Poland. He quoted her as saying that, growing up, her family and everyone they knew were terrified of Russia every. single. day. And this was only about 25 years ago.
Rubio is unaware of a lot of things. That is why he has so many "jobs," to get into the way with his ignorance.
War schmar. What about the soul I sold to the Pond Scum in-Chief?
Don’t EVER believe a word coming out Liddle Marco’s mouf’
And also this is about STOPPING FUCKING RUSSIA FROM TAKING OVER the rest of the West. This is a proxy war where we absolutely have to stop them EVEN JUST THINKING ABOUT OURSELVES. Quite apart from the "we promised we'd protect them" and "we need to stop vicious Mafia rapist-murderers" and "it's the right thing to do."
But of course that was the argument ("it's an inconsequential little country that makes no difference to us") Chamberlain used about Czechoslovakia, exactly. Hey how'd that work out for him I wonder.
Poland is on Pooters list right after Belarus. It’s essential to stop him from getting any of Ukraine and having the populace kick him out you know it won’t end pretty. I always s say Pooty wants plunder and loot as much as control of a bigger Soviet empire.
Marco Rubio's appearances and photos since he became Trump's boy all look like a man who got dropped on some distant planet and he's trying to figure out how not to get eaten by something strange and find his way back to his old life, Ain't going to happen, Marco, you creepy twerp who threw out everything he ever stood for and believed in. All for Trump.
A decision he’ll regret forever, I think.
And you’re right... he is a "creepy twerp”.
If he had an ounce of self-awareness and self-respect, he would bail ASAP. Apparently he does not.
Right….I often wonder why these people sell their souls for this crazed felon. History will not be kind.
In their overwhelming zeal to be power adjacent, they have lost all sense of right and wrong, duty, ethics, morality, and principles, as well as how they will be viewed by history. They may realize too late that they've irrevocably detonated their legacies. It's already too late, MAGA dumbshits. The only way to salvage anything is to leave the cult and speak against it. Now.
It IS a cult…I hope we survive it….so much damage has already been done.
Unfortunately, this turn to madness that has engulfed America may have irreparably damaged previously unassailable institutions here at home as well as relationships globally. One evil person did this, assisted by so many stupid, evil, dangerous stooges.
The thing about most cult members is that they don't realize they're in a cult
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan
In 2016, Marco actually thought he could be president… the only MAGAt from a tRump Regime who likely ever will be POTUS is JD the Maybelline Model and only because he is VP. They are all the damaged goods, not to mention evil idiots.
He looks like that message is trying to surface. I've never seen a more miserable appointee by any president in my long lifetime.
He is miserable that he took the job. He has imperiled so many people, including his family. He is Judas.
Yes, I thought his body language and expression AS they attacked President Zelenskyy in the White House would be Rubio's line in the sand, but no. He was clearly miserable and upset - yet sunk further and further into that cult, hoping no one would remember he was there 'in the room where it happened'. Too late. He's done.
Rubio is an invertebrate--always has been. His supposed "real" stance on an issue was his anti-Russia position; however, he only assumed that pose because it was what all the cool kids in the Republican party espoused. Once the GQP shifted to being Putin supporters, Rubio had to follow suit.
If he were a real boy, all hell would've broken loose in the Oval Office when Donnie Demento and Couchfuck verbally assaulted President Zelenskyy. But poor little Marco could only sink into the couch, like the amoeba he is--not daring to find out what it feels like to have a spine........
And yet he stays, and keeps lying
Kind of reminds you of long ago said to another sorry politician: Have you no sense of decency, sir? One wonders if there are any Republicans left in Congress who have any sense of decency anymore.
That was directed at another monstrous fascist asshole, Joseph McCarthy. And no, McCarthy and this new batch of fascists have no decency
Nope!
Charles, what a glorious thing it would have been if through some Rod Serling-esque Twilight Zone scenario your Dad's B-24 Liberator materialized over Joint Base Elmendorf -Richardson while the two worst dictators in the world were canoodling and let fly some of their WWII ordnance right on top of those two.
I would put good money on Rubio STILL feverishly imagining that some day he could ascend to the presiduncy - once frump kicks the bucket, vance melts off into obscurity and somehow he'll be the chosen one to latch onto the current magat cult base? He seems to have no clue they despise him as much as we do.
He was always a creepy twerp, but I will give him credit for one thing, he showed up after the Pulse nightclub massacre.
He looks like a husk. All the living parts have been sucked out.
Totally agree.
Good description!
If Marco thought this was a stepping stone to the presidency, he's deluding himself. When he's out of office -- perhaps before Trump -- his political career will be over. He can go join Matt Gaetz in obscurity on OAN.
Matt who?!
Oh, in that case that's exactly what I hope he's thinking.
Recall that it was Liddle Marco who first pointed out that T💩p's hands are tiny. Rethuglicans are soulless, sell-out fkheads. All of 'em, Katie!
Very thirsty boy.
During the 2016 campaign I always referred to him as Sippy Cup.
Maybe not. See: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/03/how-donald-trump-became-the-short-fingered-vulgarian
Interesting. Liddle Marco made it a household name.
Wonder what the Cuba Libre conservatives and their offspring think of Rubio supporting America's capitulation to Russia's biggest totalitarian since Stalin.
Prolly what we're thinking: "Fucking sellout"
It helps to remember that the Republican Party has been circling the drain at least since Newt Gingri(n)ch's heyday. Nowhere is it more obvious than in Trump's cabinet picks -- although the congressional Republicans are right up there. Mike Johnson? Chuck Grassley? Marjorie Taylor Greene? Jim Jordan? I could go on, and on, and on . . .
I hope Mitch McConnell strokes all the way out but spends the next decade staring into a liminal space in front of an empty mirror reflecting his soul.
Ooh! This could be an updated version of Sartre's NO EXIT. Or, come to think of it, Dante's DIVINE COMEDY. Put them all in the same place with no megaphone, no way to communicate with the outside world. All they can do is talk to and look at each other.
That's as close to hell as anything I can currently imagine.
Perfect!
Even better than a stroke !
Oh, DO please include frump in that hope. The 2 old farts can sit across from each other contemplating each other's bewildered empty heads.
😂
All for power and fame, not Trump.
"that’s right, even Fred Merz is coming.” Snorted coffee on that gif. 🤣
The level of incompetence is breathtaking in this regime.
Rubio is such a dick…. like “life will go on in America”. Screw you. Americans happen to CARE about what’s happening in Ukraine…and the great majority of us despise you and your boss.
I hate it here. FFS.
Well, “We’re all going to die”. MAGA messaging.
What bothers me most, is that a good number of them are NOT incompetent. They know exactly what's going to happen when the U.S. withdraws humanitarian support and democracy for the rest of the world, and goes all-in on "America First" as Donnie and his minions envision it. Those people have abandoned their ethics and principles, and for WHAT? They must believe that they'll somehow be a stalwart in the New World Order According to Putin and Donnie, because they surely aren't aiming for the continuance of their political careers in the U.S. They're toast here (if we remain a democracy), and they know it. I truly believe that anyone with a conscience would be horrified at the back room conversations being held by republicans in the legislature and in trump's regime. How we get out of this, I can't even fathom. How do we eradicate a mindset based on false pretenses, without eradicating the people who promote such mindsets?
All the while our planet is in its death knell! What do those filthy MAGATS and their masters, the oligarchs, think their own children are going to do in 25 years, when crops are all failing and the biosphere becomes toxic, eat money? Oh, that’s right, they’re going to fucking Mars.
AND be able to look our kids in the eye and say “Crime doesn’t pay”..?
You don't.
Yet… they’ve weaponized ‘incompetence’…:/ !?!
Whereas Trmup has weaponized 'incontinence'.
If you think abt that…🤔
George Marshall is spinning in his grave
Have you noticed the number of "retruths" and "likes" the 'Bela' post generated? That gives us a clear indication of how many bots are programmed to respond to his every word.....even the purely nonsensical! Bela is our new cofefve.
Excellent point.
That is a valid point Paula.
I saw the replies and likes and who the fuzz ARE these people!?!?!?! You answered BOTS!!!!! Of course they are, DUH….
I’m visiting Norway and today met a candidate for their Parliament. Once he realized I was an American, he laughed and said, “Boy, you’re in a mess over there! Trump let Putin speak first? You can’t be nice to him or believe a word he says. He’s a vicious liar and will walk all over you.” No surprise- We are the laughing stock of the world.
America is the village idiot who belongs in the stocks, with the rest of the world throwing rotting fruit and feces at his head. We've provided support for and grown complacent with genocide on many, many fronts. The visiting EU leaders should all threaten to boycott the Olympics and any other international jerkoff feel-good event involving the U.S. as host.
Until election fraud is proven, we are the idiots that twice elected a flatulent conman to run our country. We deserve all the derision we get.
With that flatulence coming out of both ends!
Even if fraud were proven, it says nothing good that it was even close: well over forty percent definitely did vote for him, which is a much larger vote share than Lyndon Larouche or Charles Manson ever got, and why?
I predict that Monday’s meeting will involve Trump rambling about mail in voting, the Melania opera house at the Trump Kennedy, asphalt and basement pumps in DC and Russia, Russia, Russia. Then Zelensky and the EU leaders will play him like the egocentric idiot he is, offering meaningless flattery, before telling him they will continue to oppose Russian aggression. Trump will claim a diplomatic breakthrough and announce that he is assuming control over the Grammys. Laura Trump will receive the Best Album award.
I just read that T💩p fired the family that has handmade the Kennedy Center awards for OVER 50 YEARS so that Tiffany (the jewelry store not the daughter named after the store) can take it over. ETTD. Everything!
Typical Drumpf shit… but Donny Dachau, here’s the thing: nobody gives a rats ass about the Kennedy center awards, really,
nobody.
Dave, Exactly. No one is paying attention to anything he tries to take over. They do make it way too easy for him. Push back! Don’t comply..force him to show why he can legally demand and command anything and everything. He acts like a dictator because everyone bows in front of him and complies!
Maybe Tiffany's is high up on the list of 553 companies and organizations the regime is tracking for willingness to shill for Shitler.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/secret-white-house-spreadsheet-ranks-171922183.html
Indubitably. Rumor has it that Melons was banging the head of security for Tiffany when they were located in the T💩p Tower. It would be irresponsible not to speculate.
Why am I not surprised.
I'm hoping they'll tell him they're removing the US from NATO. For meeting with a war criminal?
If we weren’t living in the Upside -Down, they would have slapped the cuffs on Bad Vlad the second his foot touched terra firma in Alaska.
Yes, we just had a sick show of NATO "leaders". SLAVA UKRAINI!
He'll want all the golden statues from the Oscar awards to stack on his mantel too.
BINGO Kim!!!! He talked about how Vlad said mail in voting was bad and NO COUNTRY 😂 uses it (BS). Even Putin allows mail in voting. (For what it's worth)
Kim who’s going to listen to Zelensky, it’s not even on your list but yes where was he when the others were in Alaska.
One of the funniest, in retrospect, things I ever saw was Dumpy telling Zelenskyy that he "doesn't have the cards" to succeed against Russia without the US, and then several months later, Ukraine sends out dozens of drones to blow up targets well inside Russia, an operation that took at least a year to plan. The most delicious part is that Zelenskyy had to have been thinking about those drones when Dumpy was berating him. Not only did Zelenskyy keep a straight face and perfect composure during Dumpy's and Justa Dick's tongue-lashing, nobody on his military staff ever discussed the plans on Signal or left paper copies of them in a printer tray in Moscow.
Betsy, you have the situation right, Z is making his own fucking cards and they have destroyed so much of Russkie war machine and N. Korea kimmy un has not been shooting his mouth off lately at all.
Let's face it - Trump isn't a match for even a 2 year old. Zelensky eats his lunch.
Just wait a little minute. Witkoff used the translator furnished by Putin?
as best I can tell, that's what happened.
JFC...what an idiot. It just proves you don't have to be smart to be rich. I'm just a little ole retired schoolteacher and I'd be like "ahh, fuck NO, I think I'll use someone from the US embassy, thanks anyway Vlad" and BTW while we're at it, I need someone to either take notes or record this shit for me from MY side. Obviously they never worked for people they didn't trust. Maybe they need a bunch of teachers doing this. We are very distrustful of people in power and are used to getting shit on, so we know how to cover our asses. Find some really smart ones. We can get shit done.
This retired teacher is with you!!
The Cult does not rely on intelligence. They rely on Greed & Avarice.
( As trump's stooge, Wittkoff IS on Putin's side. They did it exactly the way trump and Putin wanted it)
That was all normal protocol until a guy with too much to hide trump got in that is it!
Nooooo! Jeff, nooooo!
Can't you just hear the snickering by the translator and putin after ole stevie walked out of the room. Hoo boy, I bet they high-fived and took Vodka shots celebrating how magnificently easy it was to feed him a bag of shit.
It's my understanding it's been that way for all his meetings in Russia. I read it before this summer for sure.
Remember in Trump 1.0, when he had private meetings with Putin without translators present? Or when it was reported that his translators were ordered to tear up their notes? Yeah... I'd sure like to hear about the conversations they witnessed.
IK,R? Bleeding Christ on a tricycle!
Just how dumb are his followers!!!???
Up to eleventy.
There are no words in use that describe how dumb orange felon followers are.
But he speaks English too, I’ve heard… smdh
Of course he does! He is an experienced KGB spy. I would think fluency in English would be mandatory.
Fluently
Like his second or third language… out of 12? :/

Witkoff is another Russian asset in this regime full of them. I don't trust him further than I can throw an unfolded dollar bill. Which is what he's all about. Witkoff and his son selling out America for money. Typical MAGA
It's a basic requirement for most real estate developers to sell out for money, and to be in debt, too. I should know, my brother has been an aspiring real estate developer all his life. My mother handled all the money in our family. When she died, my brother got my father, a really good person, and legally blind, to sign something giving my brother half of his property so my brother could get a loan to pay off his expenses. According to the trust, half of the estate was supposed to go to me, the executor and the other half to him. Well, gee, I didn't find that out until eight years later. Of course he had it recorded right away, and my father, blithely thinking my brother could do no wrong, never mentioned it to me or our accountant, and apparently assumed that (I guess) that was the half my brother was supposed to get. Well, when we had the meeting about dividing up the estate, and he asserted that the half of the estate that was my share was actually only a quarter of the estate. I fought him and managed to get almost half of it ($440,000 out of $500,000) but we haven't spoken since.
I'm glad you received some of what you were due. I have heard numerous cases like this. There may be a phenomenon called undue influence for what your brother did, but it sounds like you don't need to revisit that.
I imagine that Witkoff has washed a lot of Russian dirty money.
100 %
Rubio is a great example of the deep corruption and lack of thought leaders give once they kneel to trump.
Use/share this spreadsheet (bit.ly/Goodtrouble) as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress, the Cabinet and news organizations. Reach out to those in your own state, and those in a committee that fits your topic. Call. Write. Email. Protest. Unrelentingly. We deserve better ❤️🩹🤍💙
Rubio is a MASOCHIST, no doubt about it.
His face seems to be peeling off the skull as it attempts to leave his body in disgust.
I read that Trump said he was meeting with Zelenskyy alone first, then all the gang later. I’m wondering why? He won’t be able to ambush Z in public so a private ambush is planned? I count on Zelenskyy holding his own with the Orange Fuckwit.
Zelenskyy is a badass. He's going to be as diplomatic as he can, with his head held high. Oh, and he'll be wearing a suit.
I wish he would wear his usual clothes. He does not have to bend the knee to our sundowning felonious fart factory’s couture demands.
Abby, how about Z sends a body double who rips and shreads tRump and walks out with all the EU.
I know.....
The WH asked if he was going to wear a suit, according to Axios. They wanted to start humiliating him in advance, a man worth more as a human being than all of them combined and then some.
Zelenskyy is wearing a suit, sadly. He capitulated to White House demands. But he is in all black, so from a distance it looks very similar to the "normal" wartime clothing that he wears. (If he is wearing a tie--I haven't seen him closely enough-- it is black also.)
Funny , Skum didn’t wear a suit. It’s okay if there’s money and ass kissing involved.
Bet he won't. The Arab leaders don't wear suits, why should he? At least he's not wearing ties so long they cover his testicles.
While I wholeheartedly agree, me thinks the tie needs to be a bit longer to cover his sagging sack.
Hides the diaper bulge.
The thing we can count on though, Kay-El, is that Zelinsky’y is nobody’s fool. He didn’t bring a show of force with him for nothing.
I can't wait to see what goes BOOM in Russia in the next few days.
Another major oil refinery ("Nikolov" in Tomba oblast southeast of Moscow past Ryazan) blown up last night.
Me too!
I love Putin holding his nose in the Beast - apparently YKW pooped his pants again. I think, though, the reason the whole Fox News Cabinet came out of the meeting looking like death warmed over was that Putin told YKW to smile when Putin shoves it in, or Putin will yank back every dollar YKW has got, because he's got the hackers, and he will show the receipts to the world of just how much Russia's "loaned" him. And that YKW's being followed everywhere, even to the toilet where they change his diapers, because MarALago is plentifully supplied with moles, one of whom's the diaper changer, while another is banging Melania while she gives him info. Prove me wrong.
I think the big hold that Putin holds over Trump is human trafficking and minors. White collar financial crimes are pretty much shrugged off these days. Pedophilia is not, outside of the MAGA world.
That's what I was thinking, too--that Donny laid a stinky one, and the unfortunate Pootie-Poot was stuck in the windows-up fart sar-cough-agus with him
BTW, not to sound like a complete oblivious dumbass, but what does YKW stand for?
You Know Who.
Every day is a new horror from the inept woeful non-leader Golfcourse McChucklefuck.A new embarrassment that the people of this country have to endure on the world’s stage.More hapless antics from his Cabinet of misfit toys fucking up the cogs of this country and the entire planet.
On point, as usual.
Always good to hear Fiona Hill
A brilliant woman. We were/are lucky to have her in the US.
