Let's get to the real point.

Who in their right mind would agree to give Russia a permission slip to start World War III in Europe?"

Because that's what this so-called "deal"" amounts to.

The answer is: NOBODY

Conclusion: Trump has a serious mental condition. He and Putin are now engaged in the original plan to conquer, divide and control entire hemispheres.

"preparing the way for a larger war in the future."

How obvious can it be?

Putin hasn't given up on his own legacy to be the leader who restores the U.S.S.R. to its former power and glory. He'd really like to have all of Eastern Europe if he could.

Trump's "Inferior-to-Obama" complex sticks out a mile.

She certainly has made a mess out of the one thing Trump fears the most . . . the Epstein Files.

It will be interesting to see what happens if/when some judge asks her to explain the "new evidence" she's using to block the release of the Epstein Files. The whole "new evidence" thing sounds too contrived to be true.

DOC

He claimed it was just curiosity . . . which, as the old saying goes, killed the cat.

A MONSON @ #6

Trump would use that Veto pen with abandonment.

While I don't disagree with you, the majority in Congress would have to be veto proof.

On the chance that might happen, I would suggest that Congress opt immediately for Impeachment for both Trump and Vance right after the mid-terms.

That would leave either Johnson or Jeffries next in line. Best case scenario would be Jeffries.

So, let's see. What can Trump do to save his staunch but criminal ally from 27 years in prison.

Maybe he could ask the DOJ, vis-a-vie the FBI, to fabricate a horrible crime that Bolsonaro committed while in the USA and ask that Bolsonaro be extradited to the USA, tried, convicted and sentenced to life without parole.

What horrible crime, you ask?

Well, in you recall, Bolsonaro spent a long time hiding out at Mar-a-Lago before he suddenly disappeared to somewhere else, parts unknown. Trump could claim that he later learned that Bolsonaro was hiding out on Jeffrey Epstein Island of Ill Repute and even assisted Epstein sex trafficking children. And for that, he should be extradited to the United States to pay for his crime.

LOL ~ the rest of the scam, of course, would write itself.

Anybody else got a better idea?

AU @ #2

At his age, every move he makes probably hurts somewhere.

California wins!

NEWSOME FOR PRESIDENT!

"delivered on many of the promises he was elected to enact" -- from border security to ending taxes on tips to "affordability issues." ...

All of which pales in comparison to the fact that he has spent most of his time trying to destroy democracy, in an obvious pursuit of an autocratic form of government

All that while enriching himself and his family enormously, adding trillions to the national debt, endless petty pursuits of his "so called" enemies, and other endless attempts to destroy health care for millions of people. The list of Trump's "global" anti-American actives, including his stupid tariffs, goes on interminably, none of which were included in his "so called" promises.

Trump is the very definition of a home-grown terrorist on a mission to destroy everything and everybody who stands in his way.

MTG's role as Trump's echo chamber in the House of Representatives has hurt a lot of people, including members of her own party, when Trump blew the dog whistle. And, like Trump, she did it with vicious gusto, even exceeding that of Trump's own.

I don't apologize for hoping she comes to a bad end . . . any more than I would for putting a rabid dog out of its misery.

Oh, woe is me ~ MTG is having a pity party. (Sob, sob)

You could call Trump's endorsements of late an albatross of doom.

But I think there's more to it than that. Congress desperately needs to go on record for sure to protect themselves, all the while knowing that Mike Johnson's 8-week stall has given Trump plenty of time to render the Epstein files

1) nearly useless for indictments, or

2) Trump will find some lame excuse to veto.

Trump didn't do an about face for no reason. Knowing him, "the fix" (whatever that may be) is in.

I can't believe the GOP majority cult members have suddenly grown a conscience.

Chances are their motive, all or in part, is about getting re-elected. They can read the poll numbers for themselves and it doesn't look good for the midterms.

However, they may be a little late for the party. Their past ugliness on behalf of Donald Trump has already taken hold.

IOW, she's reaping what she sowed. It's pretty nervy of her now to expect help.

So far, he hasn't got around to offing the NUMBER 1 terrorist ~~ HIMSELF!

Watching Trump make decisions is like watching a bouncing ball.

REDIAL

Hope springs eternal.

Trump poll numbers are reaching impeachment levels after the mid-terms.

He must be leaning hard on ICE marauders setting key parts of the country on fire . . . and the Insurrection Act . . . to hang onto power leading up to 2028.

If your first thought was a public hanging, I agree.

Draw & Quarter would work, too.

Unless Trump's doctor wants to rule out something specific, like a tumor or hemorrhaging, my guess is Trump is going through the normal aging process of brain shrinkage. It has a long medical name but that's what it amounts to. The neurologist would not usually discuss the results of the MRI with the patient, especially not in such grandiose terms. That's Trump's usual defense mechanism kicking in.

If the shrinkage is age appropriate, the neurologist might call the results "normal" with some explanation as to degree. It's up to Trump's doctor to decide treatment, if necessary, for the memory loss and perhaps balance that is associated with brain shrinkage. It gets worse with age.

You can forget any explanation from Trump. He would never admit that his giant genius brain is shrinking.

Trump himself is the leader of the grifter parade. The rest are just monkey see, monkey do.

Anybody who would sic the GOP scum-dogs on Dr. Fauci during the Covid-19 pandemic has an irresponsible mean streak a mile wide. She made a lot of enemies.

She couldn't be trusted then and she can't be trusted now.

Green has been guilty of dishing the dirt herself. So, turn-about is fair play.

Let her find out what it's like . . . THE HARD WAY!

I just assume the Kremlin isn't returning his phone calls, so he's globed onto something juicy he thinks he can sell.

Anything, just so he can get his mug back on TV again. It's called Klieg Light Fever.
