"especially when Coup Rumors are circulating in Moscow."

That's how Khrushchev got the ax after President Kennedy forced the Russian ships to turn tail during the Cuban missile standoff.

The Kremlin waited a couple years until Khrushchev was out of town. When they called him back home, he wasn't President of Russia any more.

He spent the rest of his life under house arrest.

I didn't know you could do that with rubber inflatables.

Explain yourself.

Trump will be lucky if Air Force One doesn't take a nosedive on the way home.

" has done more to help Russia than Philby ever could."

You could say that was supposed to be his original job in his first term. Then having failed to abandon NATO, and having failed to overturn the 2020 election, plus concentrating almost exclusively on his revenge list, Trump is now trying to straddle the fence with Putin and getting blisters in his butt in the process.

By meeting with Putin, face-to-face, Trump has probably blown every once of credibility he ever had. It's pretty obvious that Trump is out of his league. I think Putin will play him like a cheap fiddle and Trump will come home with his tail between his legs, much like Helsinki.

With nothing to show for the effort except big talk.

Actually, this peace decision is between Putin and Zelenski. Trump is just trying to stick his nose in the process in hopes he can claim some credit for a Nobel Peace prize.

Obviously, Trump needs rosy numbers as proof positive that his policies are working and that he is indeed worthy of appointing himself the title of America's first Unitary Executive, per stirpes. (should he be declared by three independent physicians that he is incapable of carrying out his duties.

When Trump is through writing his own fake numbers he will declare that they are the bestest numbers the world have even seen.

While laughing all the say to the bank.

REDIAL

"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.

"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.

CORIOLANUS

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.

CORIOLANUS

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!"

HUGHMASS @ #5

"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.

DONNER

"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.

CORIOLANUS

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.
