There it is. Trump confirms what we've said all along - he's been protecting Putin this entire time.

Little Marco indicated yesterday that we are basically through trying to make peace in Ukraine, and that we have bigger wars to prepare for in the 'Indo-Pacific', apparently meaning with China.

Which is, of course, just an excuse for Trump's utter failure to do anything at all about ending the war against Ukraine.

And he owes Vlad his bot help in the last two elections, so this will be like Tariffs; on again off again, and only making matters worse.

@#1 ... Which is, of course, just an excuse for Trump's utter failure to do anything at all about ending the war against Ukraine ...

Well, I wouldn't say that Pres Trump is not doing anything at all about ending the war against Ukraine.

Pres Trump had already given in to the major demands of Pres Putin, even before negotiations have started.

So, there's that.

But Pres Putin, apparently seeing how quickly his puppet in the Oval Office folded, has now seemed to increase his demands.

And Pres Trump's response?

Truth Social posts critical of Pres Putin.

imo, while Pres Trump's Truth Social posts against Judges who rule against him may have a (seem to have a?) motivating effect with his supporters against those Judges, I doubt if Pres Trump's supporters have any sway against Pres Putin.


Asked differently ...

Has Pres Trump over-played his hand on Truth Social with regard to Pres Putin?

Well, at least regarding Pres Putin, Pres trump looks to be trying to be strong in his quite quotable social media posts.

But in his actions?

Well, that may be a different story ...

Russian state media is currently making fun of Donald Trump and his threats.

They and Putin figured out, a long time ago, that our "president's" dick exceeds no more than three inches when fully erect.

If fascist dictators like Putin have to be fought against...maybe the people of the world will then work to get to war criminal trials at The Hague for the other dictators and dictator wannabes who support apartheid like Trump...

He probably would, if he could.
But he can't.
Not his call.
Putin's the alpha, Trump's the one begging for tummy tickles.

The "Big Beautiful Bill" has measures in it that state Trump can ignore judge's contempt rulings, and even Congress can't overturn it.The most 'beautiful' part of Trump's bill is it helps him defy federal courts

Trump's Republican allies in Congress are trying to help him hobble those judges, slipping into the oxymoronically named "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" that passed in the U.S. House on May 22 a short provision that would hamper judges from enforcing "contempt citations for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining orders."

Those are exactly the type of recent rulings that have so enraged Trump. And the bill doesn't just stymy judges going forward. It would apply retroactively to rulings already in place.

www.usatoday.comSo much for all the right wing blather about "the rule of law."
