The thing to understand: for Trump there are two types of people in this world. Peers and subordinates. Xi, Putin, Kim Jong Un = peers. Everyone else = subordinates. Whether they acknowledge that or not. There is no such thing as a partner.

Hakeem Jeffries should immediately introduce a bill praising POTUS's pardon for the all J6 defendants, listing their names and the offenses they were pardoned for. Let the Congressional Republicans own this, on the record. Might come in handy in 2026.

Just joined. I hope to untether from FB, glad to take at least the first step. I'd like to get feeds about British Medieval history, river running and a few other assorted other niche interests.
