This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.

Not only a President untethered to the Truth, but a feckless, spineless Republican Congress who give their full-throated approval for him to do WHATEVER HE WANTS.

It's collusion between the Executive and Legislative branches.

Let's review: Lindsey Graham is a gay Southern Baptist. He hates himself for being gay, and he ignores Exodus 20:13 ("Thou shalt not kill") because Southern Baptists don't really believe in the Bible.

'Your taxes' translates to the taxes of the filthy rich.

There IS no other conclusion. The evidence is overwhelming.

This is analogous to Trump saying countries whose exports are subject to a tariff are paying the tariff. πŸ™„

Republicans define victory in Iran as whatever Trump says it is Trump won’t say what exactly the objective in Iran is. Republicans are just fine with that.

Is there any better proof that Republicans are completely untethered from reality?

Iranian security official, Ali Larijani, appeared to threaten U.S. President Donald Trump, writing on X that β€œIran doesn’t fear your empty threats. Even those bigger than you couldn’t eliminate Iran. Be careful not to get eliminated yourself.”

Is he threatening to liberate us? πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

'Anyone else wonder whether Bibi Netanyahu has Kompromat on Donald Trump?

It's sometimes whispered that Mossad could have gathered information during the time Jeffrey Epstein was active, and that intelligence involves compromising material on Trump.
