You know, I'm going to see Putin. I'm going to Russia on Friday. I don't like being up here, talking about how unsafe and how dirty and disgusting this once-beautiful capital [is]." Trump is not going to Russia, but rather to Alaska to meet with Putin.

The brain dead pedo does an outstanding job of representing the garbage who voted for him.

... Trump is not going to Russia, but rather to Alaska to meet with Putin. ...

If fmr Pres Biden had made such an astounding error, what might have happened?

Trump is not going to Russia, but rather to Alaska to meet with Putin.

Maybe he made the Alaska deal with Putin already and he's not wrong? He might have traded Alaska for, well, nothing.

Endless loops of Faux News talking heads claiming it was proof positive of his mental unfitness for office.

Trump has gone "full Sleepy Joe" on us!!

Time for the 'Biden is incompetent' folks to perk up!!

I wish a reporter had asked Trump what "LA would be burning like the part that didn't burn" means. I wish a reporter had asked the president if the DC crime wave he kept referring to was in the room with them as they spoke.

It certainly is looking that way.

DONNER

The crime wave in D.C. most assuredly IS in the room with him.

And that's because it follows him every where he goes.

Betcha anything when he goes to Alaska, he's going to put a price on Alaska. Maybe not monetary but something that would help him start to encircle Canada. Greenland is probably part of the overall strategy as well.

Trump's a sneaky bastard.

The meeting in Alaska, of all places, probably has very little to do with Ukraine.

Now replace Trump with "Biden" and MAGAts would be screaming how far gone his brain is.

Trump says ----- like this nearly every day.

But MAGAts still kiss his ass every day.

Hypocrites

The hard core will always find an excuse.

The worry now is that Trump will be able to worm his way into controlling State elections.

It's on his "to do" list marked URGENT!

Trump has changed his hairdo recently. There's not enough hair to cover both the bald spot on his crown and the receding hairline in the front.

The receding hairline in front won.

Gravity seems to be sucking Ghislaine Maxwell's BFF down into the ground. Always hunched over, mumbling, waddling, sweaty, makeup running. Jayzus, what a mess.

Trump said AIDS was his personal Vietnam. The meds are no longer working. Syphilis is taking it's toll.

I'll leave this liberal article here.

www.politifact.com

I'm not calling out liberals. I'm just, once again, showing how stupidly hypocritical so many liberals are these days. If misstatements are a big enough problem that spreading hate and divisiveness is warranted, then do something about it in your own stupid party.

HUMTAKE doesn't think he spreads "hate and divisiveness", and he sure as hell doesn't think that he's a hypocrite.

Biden was forced to drop out of the election. Don't you remember?

#22 | Posted by Derek_Wildstar at 2025-08-13 01:14 PM

"Biden was forced to drop out of the election."

Biden chose to drop out after being convinced.

You cannot "force" an incumbent presidential candidate to drop out.

And any discussion of the similarities between Harris and Trumpy must include their resumes their past histories and how they earned their money and power. And what they intended to do with it. We have plenty of evidence of both and the difference ls should be plainly obvious to anyone with even half a brain.

Now Lewzer says, "there will be "very severe consequences" if Putin doesn't agree to end the war with Ukraine". LOL.

Severe consequences being, no Peace Prize for you!

Harris may have slept her way to the top (allegedly), but at least she's not a sexual predator (admitted).

"very serious consequences"

LOL - Trump is the worm on Putin's hook. There's no question on who has the leverage.

And I'm fairly certain that Mr. Putin doesn't give a damn about Trump's Nobel Peace Prize just to "show up" Obama.

Nor can I see Zalenski "settling" for any "West Bank like" proposal for the occupied territory.

Also, Putin and Trump share another common obstacle (other than encroaching age) ~ they're both running out of time to achieve their separate goals. With Trump being the more desperate of the two.

He's probably drawn up the papers ceding Alaska to Russia.

@#28 ... He's probably drawn up the papers ceding Alaska to Russia. ...

... or what is under the ground in Alaska ...

But, in reality, the same difference, imo.

An interesting cover of the Pink Floyd tune ...

[Verse]
So ya thought ya might like to go to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow
Tell me is something eluding you, sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes
You'll just have to claw your way through the disguise

... 'I'm going to Russia': Trump Appears to Forget Alaska is in US ...

Sometimes I wonder ...

Should there be an ongoing thread on this most august website (even relegated to the BackPage) entitled ...

"What if fmr Pres Biden had said this?"

And the thread would cite all the idiocy that Pres Trump seems to spout nearly daily.
