"Always hunched over"

It takes a strong back to carry that load of horse -----.

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.

AU

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!

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

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.

Trump is a fool. Fools go on fool's errands. And now the taxpayers are getting it up the ying-yang.

No two ways about it.

All she has to do is ask Trump what itch he wants scratched at the UN. It doesn't take beauty to follow orders.

"We're done funding the Ukraine war business."

He has to say something provocative, or people will think he's on a perpetual vacation.

CORIOLANUS

As you can see, I don't take the absence of ribbon-cutting/funeral attendee/bobblehead VP's like Vance very seriously.

It's been oft said that the country is safer when Trump is on one of his many golfing junkets than when he's in the Oval Office, plotting and scheming.

The same could be said about VP Vance I suppose ~ to keep him out of range of the notorious D.C. mischief makers who feed Trump his 24/7 incessant need for ego boosters. (so needy, so needy)

And who knows, Vance might fall overboard and be swept away like in a Texas flood or ski off the edge of a cliff. Either way, part time ceremonial positions aren't hard to fill in the Trump administration. Peter Thiel might have another one on ice right now~ just in case.

There's a whole lot of scubbin' going on at Quantico. Must be a very long list.

I still want to know if that's the basis for Texas A.G. Ken Paxton's divorce. Did he 'fess up to the little wifey, hoping she'd understand?

Are there still open elevator shafts in the UN building?

I remember them from the days of Ambassador John "Walrus Face" Bolton.

I can't read your article because it's blocked by a Privacy Agreement that I don't like.

However, I'm not going to disagree with the fact that the Bush/Cheney duo did a terrible thing when they lied about WMD and Yellowcake so Haliburton could get control of the untapped oil fields in Iraq. If they created a war for personal gain, then they should have been charged with more than violating the Constitution.

Bush and Trump have one thing in common ~~ an under-developed intelligence. That's to say, neither one of them were or are the brightest porchlight in town.

As James Carville once said ~ "It's the economy, stupid!"

Trump's genius response to bad numbers "YOU'RE FIRED!"

"Fascists don't allow an independent judiciary. One wonders just what Trump is doing in the background to move it along to his pals on the federal Supreme Court."

I'm also wondering how co-conspirators, like the U.S. Supreme Court, figures to get as part of the fascist action.

"None of whom they have even spoken to yet."

I'm wondering if the wife of Texas A.G. Ken Paxton is speaking for all of them.

Interesting proposition. OTOH, it wouldn't be the first time a lowling stabbed his boss in the back.

BTW, the choice of Alaska surprised me, too. Maybe Trump is planning to scout some land to build another concentration. Free air conditioning.

I don't see how they can divvy up the goodies and still clear the path for Putin's march into Eastern Europe to restore the old USSR to its former power and glory.

And I can't picture Mr. Putin throwing away his lifelong goal just so Trump can get an award to "show up" Obama.

Mr. Putin wants to cement his legacy in history as the greatest leader Russia has ever known.

That's a lot to give up. Instead, I suspect these two gooney birds will join in a plot to stall Putin's advances until after Trump changes America into an autocracy with himself at the top of the heap. Maybe by another year or so.

Judge Chutkan, "the federal judge who made Donald Trump's life a living hell."

Trump just can't seem to catch a break. LOL

Time for him to check if that that speed dial to Robert's Court is still working.

They're all terrified of getting primaried (slandered) by Trump. Thus, the -------.

And who knows? It's also possible the notorious "Epstein's list" could come into play.

Trump's disregard for laws, courts, advisors, human rights, voting rights, the Bill of Rights and the entire Constitution, in fact, is the template for ICE to follow.

All is fair in Trump's war on Democracy . . . or so he believes. A little rental agreement means less than nothing.

Which means Roger Penske is up creek.

It would ruin Penske's reputation at NASCAR. "What a revolting development!

I can hear the "Boo s coming from the grandstands now.

"What a revoting development!" (oft used words of tv and radio fame as Chester A. Riley in old sitcom "The Life of Riley."

on the subject of vanishing friendships, I suspect we'll eventually see Trump come to loggerheads with Netanyahu over Gaza.

Trump wants the strip to build his string of hotels and casinos.
Netanyahu wants to develop Gaza as a wholly owned part of Israel.

Stay tuned.

IMO, Mr. Putin in going to play Trump like the insecure patsy that he is.

Has there ever been any doubt????

Trump's blather about "he believes Mr. Putin wants peace" isn't wholeheartedly true. Mr. Putin probably wants peace on Russia's terms.

One gets the impression Trump is entering this summit meeting with his fingers crossed that Mr. Putin will put Trump's goals (future Nobel Peace Prize winner) above Putin's own goal to rebuild the former USSR.

IMO, both Trump and Putin are well aware of the treachery inherent in both of them, i.e. agreements are made to be broken when convenient.
