More freedom for Russia from sanctions; more revenue for Russia to slaughter Ukraine. Whatever Trump/Russia/Epstein is, and whatever Trump/Kushner/Witkoff side deals exist, this is a disgrace. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/u...

IIRC the lease on the American bases in the UK ends in 2037. I would not bet on them being renewed.

I think Putin *offered* him the diesel. I think Putin's looked at the midterms numbers, and written him off as a positive asset (directly helpful); and is now using him - against Trump's own interest - as a negative asset: Be as divisive to the USA as possible.

I'd bet that Putin *offered* Trump the diesel. I don't think it's about Ukraine. I think Putin has written Trump off and is now looking to cause as much damage as possible.

I would be EXTREMELY annoyed to discover my PR is "AI"-generated, and as someone bombarded with dozens of "AI"-generated emails daily, I assure you the stink of "AI" is immediately noticable and immediately dismissible. Publishers are not doing their new books any favors in using it.

There is plenty of debate about the moral atrocity that is a firing...

The US is a republic only in form. It's been an oligarchy since Citizens United, which is properly called Country Betrayed. (I'd argue it's been an oligarchy even longer, but CU was a clear marker.)

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.
