Don't forget the step in which Trump demands that Ukraine accept Putin's terms for peace, including surrender of territories Russia wants but does not occupy.

Trump's betrayal of Ukraine is a stain on America that will endure long after Trump is gone from the scene. Zelenskyy is everything Trump and Vance are not: courageous, forthright, and loyal to his country and his people.

See the genealogies of Jesus in Matthew 1 and Luke 3. Both trace the lineage of Jesus through Joseph-- who wasn't even a blood relation of Jesus! UNLESS-- unless Mary WASN'T A VIRGIN and Joseph was the true biological father of Jesus. BTW there are 77 other problems with those genealogies.

A public execution of the Fort Hood shooter-- or of ANY convicted criminal-- is just one more step down into our descent toward barbarity. Yes he deserves execution, but it should be done out of public view. BTW I have concerns about capital punishment as it has been applied unevenly in the past.

So how did the GOP become such a juggernaut if all of its governing principles suck? Simple-- it's the conservative gravy train. The GOP is aligned with business and businesses have boatloads of cash for lobbying congressmen, recruiting young talent, and supporting business friendly spokespersons.

They want zero accountability for anything they serve up. Think about this in the context of medicine. Are they proposing that AI will be able to diagnose disease? What happens if AI gets it wrong and an actual human suffers real lasting harm? Most people would want to be able to sue for damages.

Yup, it's a bubble. And when it bursts there will be a mad scramble for public assistance. It will be "too big to fail" all over again. Problem is the Trumpies may just decide that a public bailout with no consequences for the idiots who got us here is the least rotten option. 🤢

This is essentially what Zelenskyy has offered before and what Putin has spat on. Trump doesn't care what Zelenskyy offers-- his interest is in helping Putin. Why, you ask? Several "reasons," one of which is that Zelenskyy refused to invent dirt on Joe Biden, and Trump never lets go of a grudge.

For a raging "America First" campaigner who constantly claimed that all the other nations of the world were SOOOOOOO unfair to the U.S., that they were all using the U.S. like their private piggy bank, Trump has sure gone out of his way to give Putin every opportunity to sell his diesel (despite

that therefore the case could proceed. But an appeals court later found that the Senators did NOT have standing and that effectively killed their lawsuit. As things stand right now the Emoluments Clause is useless because apparently NOBODY has standing to sue the president. The SCOTUS immunity

I fully support the "no side hustles" principle, and the other suggestions offered in the article. BUT let's just remember how the courts sabotaged the Senate's lawsuit based on the Emoluments Clause during Trump 1.0. A federal court first declared that the Senators did indeed have standing and

Trump's traitorous deal with Putin lifting sanctions on Russia in exchange for Russian diesel will give Russia much needed hard currency, and that will enable Putin to prolong his war against Ukraine. Trump is a traitor to the U.S. and to a vulnerable ally who has been battling Russian aggression.

As a U.S. citizen I greatly admire the courage and persistence of the Ukrainian people, and I'm totally impressed with how they have battled Russia to a virtual standstill. Know that there are MANY Americans who support Ukraine, regardless of what our depraved and clueless president has to say.

Reagan said that his tax cut would stimulate so much growth that it would bring in more than enough to pay for the reduction in taxes. Bush II said the same thing about his tax cut. McConnell said the same thing about the Trump 1.0 business tax cuts. They were all wrong.

David S. Moore @dsm1132.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Question for constitutional scholars: now that the courts have determined (in 2020) that U.S. senators do not have standing to sue the president for violations of the Emoluments clauses, who DOES have standing? Or is it now the case that those clauses are completely useless?

Just a reminder to those who may have forgotten: Corporate taxes were cut from 36% to 31% during Trump's first term. We were told the tax cut would kick the economy into a new realm of 3% to 5% per annum growth-- PERMANENTLY. Businesses would use their tax windfall to purchase new plant and
