I wish for new blood in the Democrats that can reach both voters just left and just right of middle. Most of all a look towards a more parliamentary form of government. If we had had the "vote of no confidence " we would not be where we are now, ie cutting Medicaid and food to children but spending 95 million on a birthday parade. Ludicrous.

I just wish the NY Times, WAPO, etc., would have headlines about rump's use of fake pictures to illustrate his lies.

He has no concerns about being tagged with "losing" Ukraine because it's alwyas been his mission to transfer Ukraine to his master.

Sometimes....like right now.....I can't believe that a seemingly sentient species is just going to sit tight and let their land and probably the entire planet be destroyed and they don't know what to do. What's lacking in us....it isn't the will to survive. Why can't we figure this out?

Phone calls to Reps. and signage isn't going to cut it.....alas.

Ok fam, when I went through a browser and googled “Tim Miller Times Picayune” it gave me a link that let me in free. Super cute pix, Tim! 🩷

Posting it here but if it doesn’t work, give the search a try.

What a nice article! Thanks for sharing it. At first the paywall showed up, but when I hit back, the article appeared just fine.

Does losing Ukraine mean that his ally, Putin suffers a humiliating defeat? No he doesn’t want to be the president to lose Ukraine.

LUK: Hard to say. He seems to get some twisted, perverted thrill out of doing stupid, evil things no one else would even think of, much less actually do. Has anyone else noticed that smirk on his face lately? It seems to broadcast clear and loud, "So whaddya gonna do about it, huh? Huh?"

I did not read the Ukraine piece, I am sure it is well thought out and well written but in the context of your title question it doesn't matter. trump cannot lose Ukraine because he will switch sides. That is why he is standing on the sidelines now, Putin has already laughed at him and told him to go pack sand. Any control he thought he had of Putin was an illusion and if Europe cannot save Ukraine then trump and sadly the rest of the republican party will join him dancing on Ukraine's grave.

The entire Republican Party looks favorably on Russia and disdainfully on Europe. The animus in the language being used, going back to the Iraq War days, about the Europeans being weak and having leftist policy, over regulation and slow growth, is just right there for all to see. Russia is a powerful ally in their hatred of "Blue States" whether its California, Canada or the Netherlands

Instead of losing Ukraine to Russia, Trump thinks he is winning when he builds the big beautiful Trump tower in Moscow.

Exactly. Because “winning” is about what puts money in his pockets. Nothing more, nothing less.

Your link to the Times-Picayune story about Tim Miller is pay-walled. Why offer a link to a pay-walled story?
