jenesuispasdave @jenesuispasdave.bsky.social · 11/10/2026It is worthwhile reading the full letter. It is a very good refresher for how deeply DT is in bed with Putin and how far down into the muck DT has pulled US foreign policy. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-10...heathercoxrichardson.substack.comOctober 10, 2026So now, after more than a decade of pretending that he is not associated with Russia and that he would honor the U.S. 000
jenesuispasdave @jenesuispasdave.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Now DT is cutting deals with Putin -- who is backing Iran -- and blaming Ukraine's Zelensky for the high diesel prices actually caused by the closures of tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. 🧵 100
jenesuispasdave @jenesuispasdave.bsky.social · 11/10/2026HCR reminds us of Paul Manafort, the Russian agent working on DTs first presidential campaign. And that DT rolled out the red carpet for a Putin visit in Alaska in August 2025. 🧵 100

I've removed the paywall from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book.

jenesuispasdave @jenesuispasdave.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I recently had my umpteenth colonoscopy. When I came out of anesthesia, I remember having an active, engaged conversation with the doc. I'm sure important information was conveyed, but I can remember none of the substance. Recommend having having someone with you who is taking notes. :-/ 020
