There's nothing organic about Trump's stupid, offensive 28-point Ukraine peace plan, unless burying Ukraine to decompose it is the goal
Trump's stupid November 2016 Contract With The American Voter had 28 points, too, remember?
The first thing on that list was "impose term limits on all members of Congress" and the last ten things started with the words "work with Congress".
This peace plan is just the banal repurposing of that template, same as with Gaza, filled with more surrender to Russia Russia Russia and more Pie In The Sky than gramma can bake.
The unseriousness is off the charts.
AXIOS had the scoop here:
The full plan
1. Ukraine's sovereignty will be confirmed.
[What, like the 1994 Budapest Memorandum ROFLMAO?]
2. A comprehensive non-aggression agreement will be concluded between Russia, Ukraine and Europe. All ambiguities of the last 30 years will be considered settled.
[LOL, they're going to wave a magic wand and start over with a blank slate. Cue Burt The Invisible from Soap.]
3. It is expected that Russia will not invade neighboring countries and NATO will not expand further.
[Sure, sure. In your dreams, pal. This was definitely written by Trump at 3AM]
4. A dialogue will be held between Russia and NATO, mediated by the United States, to resolve all security issues and create conditions for de-escalation in order to ensure global security and increase opportunities for cooperation and future economic development.
[ALL issues, lol.]
5. Ukraine will receive reliable security guarantees.
[Like from God maybe?]
- A U.S. official told Axios this would be an explicit security guarantee for Ukraine from the U.S., the first time that has officially been on the table during these talks, though the proposal does not offer further details on what it entails.
6. The size of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be limited to 600,000 personnel.
[I'll take Nation Building for $1,000, Alex.]
- Note: Ukraine's army currently has 800,000-850,000 personnel, and had around 250,000 before the war, according to a Ukrainian official.
7. Ukraine agrees to enshrine in its constitution that it will not join NATO, and NATO agrees to include in its statutes a provision that Ukraine will not be admitted in the future.
[Ukraine misbehaved in class and has to write "I will not join NATO" on the blackboard 100 times after school.]
8. NATO agrees not to station troops in Ukraine.
[Watch me herd cats!]
- Note: NATO countries including France and the U.K. have been working on separate proposals that would include small numbers of European troops on Ukrainian soil after the war. This plan appears to disregard that possibility.
9. European fighter jets will be stationed in Poland.
[There are no European fighter jets.]
10. The U.S. guarantee:
[What if Russia launches missiles at Kyiv, which happens every goddamn day?]
- The U.S. will receive compensation for the guarantee;
- If Ukraine invades Russia, it will lose the guarantee;
- If Russia invades Ukraine, in addition to a decisive coordinated military response, all global sanctions will be reinstated, recognition of the new territory and all other benefits of this deal will be revoked;
- If Ukraine launches a missile at Moscow or St. Petersburg without cause, the security guarantee will be deemed invalid.
11. Ukraine is eligible for EU membership and will receive short-term preferential access to the European market while this issue is being considered.
[Do they get frequent flyer miles with that?]
12. A powerful global package of measures to rebuild Ukraine, including but not limited to:
[All this new spending by a bankrupt country already $38.2 trillion in debt]
- The creation of a Ukraine Development Fund to invest in fast-growing industries, including technology, data centers, and artificial intelligence.
- The United States will cooperate with Ukraine to jointly rebuild, develop, modernize, and operate Ukraine's gas infrastructure, including pipelines and storage facilities.
- Joint efforts to rehabilitate war-affected areas for the restoration, reconstruction and modernization of cities and residential areas.
- Infrastructure development.
- Extraction of minerals and natural resources.
- The World Bank will develop a special financing package to accelerate these efforts.
13. Russia will be reintegrated into the global economy:
[Russia will never pay for its war crimes in Ukraine.]
- The lifting of sanctions will be discussed and agreed upon in stages and on a case-by-case basis.
- The United States will enter into a long-term economic cooperation agreement for mutual development in the areas of energy, natural resources, infrastructure, artificial intelligence, data centers, rare earth metal extraction projects in the Arctic, and other mutually beneficial corporate opportunities.
- Russia will be invited to rejoin the G8.
14. Frozen funds will be used as follows:
[The G7 holds $300 billion in frozen Russian assets, hardly enough for the current estimates for rebuilding Ukraine, which run from $524 billion to $1.1 trillion.]
- $100 billion in frozen Russian assets will be invested in US-led efforts to rebuild and invest in Ukraine;
- The US will receive 50% of the profits from this venture. Europe will add $100 billion to increase the amount of investment available for Ukraine's reconstruction. Frozen European funds will be unfrozen. The remainder of the frozen Russian funds will be invested in a separate US-Russian investment vehicle that will implement joint projects in specific areas. This fund will be aimed at strengthening relations and increasing common interests to create a strong incentive not to return to conflict.
15. A joint American-Russian working group on security issues will be established to promote and ensure compliance with all provisions of this agreement.
["Ensure compliance" how?]
16. Russia will enshrine in law its policy of non-aggression towards Europe and Ukraine.
[Molotov-Ribbentrop anyone?]
17. The United States and Russia will agree to extend the validity of treaties on the non-proliferation and control of nuclear weapons, including the START I Treaty.
[This peace plan is the everything bagel.]
- Note: New START, the last major U.S.-Russia arms control treaty, is due to expire in February.
18. Ukraine agrees to be a non-nuclear state in accordance with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
[This worked out great the last time in 1994, didn't it?]
19. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant will be launched under the supervision of the IAEA, and the electricity produced will be distributed equally between Russia and Ukraine — 50:50.
[Like Chernobyl, right?]
20. Both countries undertake to implement educational programs in schools and society aimed at promoting understanding and tolerance of different cultures and eliminating racism and prejudice:
[Mighty woke of you.]
- Ukraine will adopt EU rules on religious tolerance and the protection of linguistic minorities.
- Both countries will agree to abolish all discriminatory measures and guarantee the rights of Ukrainian and Russian media and education. (Note: Similar ideas were incorporated into Trump's 2020 Israel-Palestine peace plan).
- All Nazi ideology and activities must be rejected and prohibited. [Nick Fuentes most hurt.]
21. Territories:
[Trump is Chamberlain ceding the Sudetenland to Adolf Hitler in 1938.]
- Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk will be recognized as de facto Russian, including by the United States.
- Kherson and Zaporizhzhia will be frozen along the line of contact, which will mean de facto recognition along the line of contact.
- Russia will relinquish other agreed territories it controls outside the five regions.
- Ukrainian forces will withdraw from the part of Donetsk Oblast that they currently control, and this withdrawal zone will be considered a neutral demilitarized buffer zone, internationally recognized as territory belonging to the Russian Federation. Russian forces will not enter this demilitarized zone.
22. After agreeing on future territorial arrangements, both the Russian Federation and Ukraine undertake not to change these arrangements by force. Any security guarantees will not apply in the event of a breach of this commitment.
23. Russia will not prevent Ukraine from using the Dnieper River for commercial activities, and agreements will be reached on the free transport of grain across the Black Sea.
24. A humanitarian committee will be established to resolve outstanding issues:
- All remaining prisoners and bodies will be exchanged on an 'all for all' basis.
- All civilian detainees and hostages will be returned, including children.
- A family reunification program will be implemented.
- Measures will be taken to alleviate the suffering of the victims of the conflict.
25. Ukraine will hold elections in 100 days.
26. All parties involved in this conflict will receive full amnesty for their actions during the war and agree not to make any claims or consider any complaints in the future.
[In other words there will be no Nuremberg Tribunal for the Butchers of Bucha.]
27. This agreement will be legally binding. Its implementation will be monitored and guaranteed by the Peace Council, headed by President Donald J. Trump. Sanctions will be imposed for violations.
[Who will head it in 2029?]
- Note: This is the same general structure Trump proposed to govern the Gaza peace agreement.
28. Once all parties agree to this memorandum, the ceasefire will take effect immediately after both sides retreat to agreed points to begin implementation of the agreement.
Halloween terror case against two 20-year old and one 19-year old suspects in Michigan will center around protected free speech
From the story here:
... Like other terrorism prosecutions, this case is expected to focus on protected free speech, with one side arguing the defendants were merely expressing their views, while the other maintains they were planning to do harm. So far, the government has not produced any anti-gay text messages, social media comments or conversations by the defendants, whose communications and movements were being monitored by undercover informants and agents. ...
The FBI, which started investigating the Dearborn men a year ago, used undercover informants and agents to monitor the defendants' communications. ...
To
date, the government has charged eight individuals in this case: five
from Michigan, including two juveniles who are being prosecuted in a
confidential process because of their age; two from New Jersey,
including one man who allegedly referred to himself as the biggest anti
Semite in America, and said he wanted to kill his mother's Jewish
friends; and one man from Washington, whose plans to travel overseas to
join ISIS were cut short by the FBI raids in Michigan. He was arrested
at his home in Seattle, one day before his plane was to leave, court
records show.
The
charging documents filed in all eight cases, so far, do not show how
the New Jersey or Washington defendants were allegedly tied to the
purported Michigan Halloween terror plot.
It sounds like the FBI worked pretty hard on these young fellas for a long time to get the statements they needed.
Imagine sitting in the dark to save on electricity when you make $115k
Reported here:
... The effort to keep up with higher prices feels relentless to Teri Kopp, who lives in Southbury, Conn., and works as an administrator at a synagogue. “I’m tired,” she said.
Kopp and her husband Bill, an HVAC technician, earn a combined $115,000 a year. They often sit in the dark with only strings of LED lights on to save on electric costs. She is considering painting rocks to send to friends as Christmas gifts. Their biggest vacation this year, a road trip to Maine, was mostly covered by cash back from a shopping-rewards program.
Kopp, 59 years old, doesn’t see any way to quickly pay off the $15,000 in credit-card debt the family took on largely to cover medical bills for knee surgeries. She also has $30,000 in debt from her daughter’s undergraduate degree in biology, which has yet to yield any job offers in a tough labor market for new graduates.
Kopp voted for Trump last November in part because she wasn’t happy with how Biden handled the economy. She approves of the job Trump is doing but is skeptical that it will lead to any relief on costs soon. “I think Trump has a hard nut to crack to bring all this stuff down,” she said. ...
Do the two Rachels at the Wall Street Journal who write this sob story about the middle class "buckling" realize that about half the country makes $45k or less? What about those people? Well, they don't read the Journal anyway, right?
You have to be in the 64th percentile to be like Teri and Bill, the high end of the middle 33-66%.

Donald Trump is building out the police state on the nation's roads through U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Border Patrol's license plate reader program
Border Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with ‘suspicious’ travel patterns
... Once limited to policing the nation’s boundaries, the Border Patrol has built a surveillance system stretching into the country’s interior that can monitor ordinary Americans’ daily actions and connections for anomalies instead of simply targeting wanted suspects. Started about a decade ago to fight illegal border-related activities and the trafficking of both drugs and people, it has expanded over the past five years. ...
The result is a mass surveillance network with a particularly American focus: cars. ...
The Border Patrol has for years hidden details of its license plate reader program, trying to keep any mention of the program out of court documents and police reports, former officials say, even going so far as to propose dropping charges rather than risk revealing any details about the placement and use of their covert license plate readers. Readers are often disguised along highways in traffic safety equipment like drums and barrels. ...
... it reaches far into the interior, impacting residents of big metropolitan areas and people driving to and from large cities ... beyond the agency’s usual jurisdiction of 100 miles (161 kilometers) from a land or sea border. ...
Border Patrol’s parent agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said they use license plate readers to help identify threats and disrupt criminal networks and are “governed by a stringent, multi-layered policy framework, as well as federal law and constitutional protections, to ensure the technology is applied responsibly and for clearly defined security purposes.” ...
Today, the deserts, forests and mountains of the nation’s land borders are dotted with checkpoints and increasingly, surveillance towers, Predator drones, thermal cameras and license plate readers, both covert and overt.
Border Patrol’s parent agency got authorization to run a domestic license plate reader program in 2017, according to a Department of Homeland Security policy document. At the time, the agency said that it might use hidden license plate readers ”for a set period of time while CBP is conducting an investigation of an area of interest or smuggling route. Once the investigation is complete, or the illicit activity has stopped in that area, the covert cameras are removed,” the document states.
But that’s not how the program has operated in practice, according to interviews, police reports and court documents. License plate readers have become a major — and in some places permanent — fixture of the border region. ...
The Border Patrol also has access to a nationwide network of plate readers run by the Drug Enforcement Administration, documents show, and was authorized in 2020 to access license plate reader systems sold by private companies. ...
Trump openly advocates death for U.S. soldiers who won't obey unlawful orders
This is exactly like Russian officers in Ukraine who threaten their soldiers with death if they do not follow orders.
Donald Trump's Dumb Ass Unemployment Rate for September 2025 was 37.56%, higher than his first term average when he averaged 96.4 million eating but not working
The Trump I Dumb Ass Unemployment Rate averaged 37.35% 2017-2020 inclusive.
Through three quarters of 2025 an average of 102.67 million are eating but not working.
I don't make the rules. Rush Limbaugh and Donald Trump made the rule.
Not the greatest economy ever, not by a long shot: Full time jobs in Sep 2025 moved sideways with just 49.48% of the population working at one
The data was delayed by the federal government shutdown.
The current level is little better than Sep 2016 at 49.08%.
The rotten apple doesn't fall far from the Alcee Hastings tree, Democrat representing majority-black precincts of Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach under investigation since at least May 2024 finally charged
A federal grand jury charged U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., with stealing $5 million in Covid-19 disaster funds — a chunk of which was then illegally contributed to her 2021 congressional campaign, the Department of Justice said Wednesday. ...
Cherfilus-McCormick joined the House in 2022 after winning a special election that January to fill late Rep. Alcee Hastings’ seat representing Florida’s 20th Congressional District. ...
Cherfilus-McCormick has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee, the panel revealed in late May.
The Office of Congressional Conduct sent a referral to that committee in May 2024, laying out a number of possible violations. Cherfilus-McCormick “may have requested community project funding that would be directed to a for-profit entity,” the office said in that referral. ...
Perfidious Mad King Ludwig has continued to work behind the scenes with Russia and without Ukraine and the Europeans on a Ukrainian capitulation plan
... Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War said that if the
reports are true, the 28-peace plan would amount to “Ukraine’s full
capitulation and would set conditions for renewed Russian aggression
against Ukraine.”
“The reported proposed peace plan would deprive Ukraine of critical defensive positions and capabilities necessary to defend against future Russian aggression, apparently in exchange for nothing,” the ISW analysts said Wednesday.
They noted it would “give this significant land to Russia — apparently for no specified compromise — sparing Russia the time, effort, and manpower that it could use elsewhere in Ukraine during renewed aggression.”
The ISW concluded that the plan, if verified, showed Russia’s maximalist territorial demands on Ukraine had essentially not changed since the initial invasion in 2022. “This reported peace plan is fundamentally the same as Russia’s 2022 Istanbul demands, which Russia presented to Ukraine when the circumstances on the battlefield appeared to favor Russia more heavily.”

Megyn Kelly's attempt to soften Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile status is about as advisable as Todd Akin's attempts were to highlight the phony rape claims of women
It's not exactly a politically winning message, even though 34 states in America allow minors to marry with parental and/or court consent, and four set no minimum age by law.
Google AI estimates there were fewer than 2,500 minor marriages in 2018, mostly involving girls.
Epstein liked 'em young too, but he wasn't trying to marry any of them for crying out loud. He isn't called a predator for nothing.
Meanwhile, marriage under the age of 18 is banned without exception in only 16 states and DC, mostly in the northeast with Missouri and Virginia being notable exceptions in the near south.
Is Megyn just doing this for the clicks, or is it symptomatic of having a tin ear?
Why not both?
At any rate, the woman who once confronted Trump in 2015 sure has changed her spots since then.
The guy on the left beheaded a record high 345 people, mostly for non-violent drug offenses, in Saudi Arabia in 2024, but he says he still feels pain for the 9/11 families of America
Trump, Saudi Crown Prince bin Salman brush off criticism of Khashoggi killing
... On Tuesday, bin Salman said, “You know, I feel painful about, you know, families of 9/11 in America. But, you know, we have to focus on reality.”
“Reality based in CIA documents, and based on a lot of documents that Osama bin Laden used Saudi people in that event, for one main purpose, is to destroy this [relationship], to destroy the American-Saudi relation,” bin Salman said.
“It’s really painful to hear .... anyone that been losing his life for you know, no real purpose or ... not in a legal way,” bin Salman said, referring to Khashoggi.
“And it’s been painful for us in Saudi Arabia,” the prince said. “We did all the right steps of investigation ... in Saudi Arabia, and we’ve improved our system to be sure that nothing happened like that. And it’s painful, and it’s a huge mistake, and we are doing our best that this still doesn’t happen.” ...
Trump threatens ABC after reporter Mary Bruce exposes the kabuki dance around the Epstein files
President Donald Trump on Tuesday called for ABC’s broadcast license to be revoked as he angrily lashed out at a reporter from the network who asked why he has not released files on notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, his former friend.
“I think you are a terrible reporter,” Trump told ABC News White House correspondent Mary Bruce.
The president said he did not like Bruce’s “attitude.” ...
Trump’s tirade came shortly before the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly in favor of a bill to compel the Department of Justice to release all of its records on Epstein.
The DOJ earlier this year refused to release those documents, despite prior promises by Attorney General Pam Bondi and other Trump administration officials.
Trump does not need to wait for Congress to pass a bill. He could order the DOJ to release more Epstein files.
“Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files?” Bruce asked the president. “Why not just do it now?” ...
Trump has repeatedly called the Epstein matter a “hoax” created by Democrats, even though members of Trump’s Make America Great Again movement were leading advocates for releasing the files. ...
Last week, the House Oversight Committee released emails showing Epstein discussing Trump.
In one email from 2019, Epstein wrote that Trump “knew about the girls.”
Tuesday, November 18, 2025
The US House and Senate wanted this Epstein business out of their hands so fast it makes your head spin
So the legislative branch is ordering the executive branch to D O S O M E T H I N G.
The legislative branch ordered TikTok to do something by last January, you'll recall, but the executive and its Department of Justice found a way around that.
They'll find a way around this, too.
The foxes remain in charge of the henhouse.

The fix is in on the Epstein files vote: MoveOn in action
Trump last night reversed himself and said the House should vote to release the Epstein files.
Vote they will, except Speaker Johnson has rigged it so that the vote will be under suspension of the rules.
Which means they don't need a mere majority to pass it. They'll need 2/3 . . . of those present.
It's a 219 GOP to 214 Dem U. S. House.
If they all show up the bill needs 286 Yeas to pass.
Good luck with that.
"See, we voted. But aw shucks, it didn't get enough votes to pass. Oh well, time to move on as Trump said."
Paid liar for DHS Tricia McLaughlin reportedly has a husband who was awarded a megamultimilliondollar no-bid government marketing contract for . . . DHS!
I guess you can watch the propaganda films on Newsmax, which can't spell Affairs lol.
There is so much money to be made in government service with deals like this. It's why the politicians want to win. It's a giant skimming operation which enriches their appointees. No lasting policy achievements are necessary.
The period is also marked by the phony utopianism of the libertarian Americanists who exalt the individual and deny that there are any limits
In their idealism they are little different than Zohran Mamdani.
... The United States is undeniably the beacon of hope for the world because it’s founded on the value of the individual and the ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence. We believe every person should have an equal opportunity to pursue their dreams and determine their destiny.
For free people, there is truly no problem too big or care too small. Free people don’t wait on a government middleman to solve their problems or redefine what’s possible. ...
More.
The choice isn't between this Americanism and Zohran Mamdani. They aren't really competing visions.
On the contrary, both are impotent in the face of intractable problems.
New York City, with an annual budget of in excess of $100 billion, needs to spend well in excess of $50 billion to fix its water and sewer systems which limit population growth and drive up rents. The place is already $125 billion in debt. In his wildest dreams Mamdani will increase taxes "only" $10 billion, about which they are having a fit.
The so-called free people of the United States also have met problems which are truly too big for them, one in the Black Sea, one in the Red Sea, and one in the South China Sea, about which $38 trillion in national debt keeps them from doing very much.
Every person should have opportunity to determine their destiny, they prattle on, except for the people of Ukraine, of Israel, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan, who will just have to do it themselves. How long does this list have to get before it includes you, too? Or are you on it already?
Their self-indicting answer?
If Elon Musk is a utopian of the right, Zohran Mamdani is one of the left
Musk's is technocratic utopianism warmed over for the chip revolution, Mamdani's is old-fashioned statism:
“New York, tonight you have delivered a mandate for change,” Mamdani said. “A mandate for a new kind of politics. A mandate for a city we can afford and a mandate for a government that delivers exactly that.”
“We will prove there is no problem too large for government to solve and no problem too small for it to care about,” he added.
More.
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Trump hits new second term low -17 in Rasmussen Reports Trump Approval Index
It's been a story of a bad week just getting worse every day in this Trump-friendly poll.
People are in a foul mood in the aftermath of the government shutdown, which ended on Wednesday.
But it could be a lot worse.
Trump's all time low in this poll was -26 on 3 August 2017, after the U.S. Senate had just days earlier failed to overturn Obamacare and then recessed for August without one legislative accomplishment in Trump's first year in office to date.
Still, Democrats this week failed to get what they wanted from the shutdown on the Obamacare tax credits, which is a victory for Trump and should be showing up more positively in this poll, but it is not.
Trump has been his own worst enemy this week, AGAIN!, defending H-1B visas because America doesn't have enough talent in his opinion, defending foreigners and especially Chinese taking up seats in America's college classrooms, gaslighting about consumer inflation coming down, and handing out bonus money like water to air traffic controllers and DHS employees who kept working during the shutdown.
But Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, now on Trump's shit list, caused an uproar this week because she said the increases in Obamacare premiums in 2026 are going to wreak havoc on her constituents. Trump promptly kicked her off the plantation after she appeared on The View to talk about it.
Maybe the politics of Obamacare tax credits have flipped for the GOP rank and file and Trump and the Republican elites are going to be the last to know about it.
Owner-occupied housing is in short supply, in part because of pandemic-related panic-buying by 5.4 million in 2020, not because of a post-pandemic illegal alien surge under Joe Biden
... we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens ... Under the Biden administration, the price of a new home literally doubled in four years. ...
-- The ever-ridiculous J. D. Vance, here
Hysteria is everywhere on this issue.
Owner-occupied housing is hardly higher today than it was at the 2020 peak.
Buyers became hysterical in 2020, seeking isolation. Vance is hysterical in 2025, playing immigration politics. The Fed went hysterical in 2008 slashing interest rates, and it took fourteen years and pandemic-related inflation just to get them to snap out of it.
The Fed's ZIRP after the Great Recession drove down mortgage interest rates to sub-five percent, averaging less than three by 2021.
As everyone knows, when you lower the long term price of a mortgage, you can "buy more house".
That's the major culprit driving prices higher, making housing more expensive, that and the 2-year rule. It took more than a decade of zero interest rate policy to bring us to this pass. It has not been and will not be remedied overnight, especially by its new cheerleaders in the Trump administration.
Cutting interest rates will only make housing more expensive.
New housing is indeed soaring, but people need to get a grip. The median sales price of all housing in the United States is up 30% since 2020, not 50% like it was in the five or six years right after 2008.
A better government tax policy on housing is called for. The biggest problem is that the mere 2-year owner-occupancy requirement for capital gains tax exclusion has turned housing into a commodity since 1997. It was a big mistake to make housing so fungible. The answer lies in applying the brakes to that, so that the emphasis is on housing as a home as opposed to as a speculative investment driving prices for all types of homes irrationally higher.
The old policy allowed the exclusion only once in a lifetime. You sold your house when you retired and enjoyed life living off the proceeds mostly tax-free, usually in a down-sized arrangement or as a renter. Otherwise during your working life, when you had to sell to move, you had to purchase at least sideways, or up in price so that your gains went into the new place, not into your pocket. That's how housing became such a tempting source of pent-up capital in the first place. There was an incentive to maintain a ladder of housing values upon which people could move more freely, mostly up but also down.
We need to go back to some form of that arrangement.
But our leaders seem to have no imagination for it. They can't see that what we did in 1997 was a revolution. A bad revolution.
Sad!
Trump turns on Marjorie Taylor Greene, puts her on the target list with Thomas Massie
... “Maybe you should become a Democrat, Marjorie,” said co-host Joy Behar.
“I’m not a Democrat,” Greene replied. “I think both parties have failed.”

It's very amusing that Kevin Sorbo thinks MAGA voters will refuse to vote Republican in the midterms because Trump said we don't have enough talent in this country
Why people vote is emotional to these people, not rational.
"I'm insulted Trump thinks Americans have no talent so I'm voting for the other guy".
OK whatever.
Trump meanwhile pretended in the interview with Laura Ingraham that he had nothing to do with the round-up and deportation of hundreds of Koreans from the Georgia battery plant, which was basically Obama's MO throughout his presidency when a problem occurred in the country under his watch.
"You didn't build that over there, and I didn't do that other thing over here."
... The Georgia facility, operated by Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution, saw 475 of its workers arrested on allegations that they were in the U.S. illegally, or without the proper work permits, with hundreds of detained South Koreans sent home Thursday.
The raid was part of a broader deportation drive by the Trump administration, which the White House has described as central to fulfilling U.S. President Donald Trump’s election campaign promises. Stephen Miller, the White House’s deputy chief of staff and homeland security adviser, has pushed for 3,000 arrests a day. ...
