"SNIP........

David Frum: “On aid to Ukraine, Trump got his way for 16 months. When Democrats held the majority in the House of Representatives in 2022, they approved four separate aid requests for Ukraine, totaling $74 billion. As soon as Trump’s party took control of the House, in January 2023, the aid stopped. Every Republican officeholder understood: Those who wished to show loyalty to Trump must side against Ukraine.”

“At the beginning of this year, Trump was able even to blow up the toughest immigration bill seen in decades—simply to deny President Joe Biden a bipartisan win. Individual Senate Republicans might grumble, but with Trump opposed, the border-security deal disintegrated.”

“Three months later, Trump’s party in Congress has rebelled against him—and not on a personal payoff to some oddball Trump loyalist, but on one of Trump’s most cherished issues, his siding with Russia against Ukraine.”

Seems like the moderate Repugs are finally tired of the shit-weasel antics of MTG, Gosar, etc -- and looking towards their own re-election and self preservation. Maybe this will continue? Of course it doesn't excuse their own behavior, but maybe the days of MTG and Bobart and Gosar etc holding the entire country hostage to their Putin-worshiping ways is finally starting to wind down?

This does feel like a sign that the times may be a-changing. If Moses manages to hold on to his speakership, that will say a lot, I think.

Vlad is one of the richest men in the world (@ least 1/2 of it is tied up because President Obama did that after he
invaded Ukraine in 2014 {after Mike Flynn helped}) but more than 30% of Russians don’t have indoor plumbing such
as hot water, showers, or flush toilets as Putin is sitting on 3 to 5 billion $ + homes. Putin has been conducting a war
on America and the west now for years. Not only does he have the Congressional GOP traitors in his bag but all that
anti vax /C-19 misinformation that 25 % or more of Americans suck down is from Russia too.

When Trump ordered our forces out of Syria overnight.........And leave everything he told them.

Our Military was the ONLY thing preventing the tyrant Assad from continuing to drop poisonous gas bombs, supplied by Putin, on any village or town that was resisting him.........

Assad was totally controlled by Putin, as was shown by the bombs he dropped on his own people who were resisting his Tyranny....

No Question in my mind, that Putin called Trump and told him to "bug out" of Syria and leave all the buildings, arms, artillery and shells...........

If we don't get money to Ukraine, along with NATO, Putin will steam roll that entire country, and annex it back as a part of His Russian Empire.......

It's more genteel than saying "Trump farted throughout the opening statements, forcing a temporary recess for fumigation."

Maybe they'll start selling golden whoopee cushions on "Truth" Social.

And he knows it.

He's broke, he's unable to buy any help from banks or lawyers, and he's lost all his followers except the useless Marjory Neanderthal Greene.

They finally cut the tether and they're putting TSK out to sea.
