Dictators wear uniforms. That's Trump's uniform.

Honestly? I know I'm not Zelenskyy and I know English isn't his first language.

But I'd be saying something along the lines of:

"I'm leading a Country that is at War. This isn't the time for Tea and Crumpets and designer suits. I've got more important #### to worry about! There are literally people carrying guns and laying in mud and this isn't the red f###ing carpet at the Oscars! And no. I dont give half a #### about respecting your office, especially not while your orange ass sits in it! Good day sir! I said good day!!"

Before anyone gives Johnson credit for having a spine...

Mike Johnson, a Kremlin spokesperson, had this to say today.

I do find it odd...Drumpf, notorious for bullying through the Court system, is telling someone to 'make a deal' to end the war.

Its ridiculous. Everyone knows that Russia doesnt honour it's deals.

Lex might not be a Russian stooge, but he's a total ####ing dork who is highly susceptible to propaganda and right-wing nonsense.

He's essentially a monotone Joe Rogan, with a better vocabulary.

He may be a useful idiot, though I'm not sure that's any better. He's definitely a top tier dick rider.

So what's new in Trumpland over the weekend? Just off the top of my head.

All cybersecurity operations against Russia ceases
Trump is in talks with Putin to restart Nord Stream 2 (to where who knows)
Tarrifs happening, we will you tomorrow on the details
Keystone XL is going to happen again
All aid to Ukraine to be cancelled as war is bad business
More bombs sold to Israel as Israel gets Trump Gaza Renovations underway as war is good business
Guy who made satire AI video about Trump Gaza didn't expect Trump to use it for his own propaganda
Social Security is a ponzi scheme, and must be drained of all of it's money - President Musk.
FAA orders to find funding to give money to President Musk via Starlink somehow
US to leave NATO
US to create a crypto reserve
US to stop all anti-money laundering laws
DeNeiro and a few others like Eminem says "**** Trump" because that is sure to get things changed.
Trump voters in tears as they expected Trump to hurt everyone but them.
Eggs smuggling into the US now a big problem. US losing the war on eggs.

Anything else I missed?

Why are you anti-vax? You didn't even mention the death toll!

The De Niro clip is actually from years ago and for some reason is coming up again as being something that just happened.

Anti-Vax parent's kid caught measles and recovered. She now doubles down on being anti-vax

Quote:
Two weeks later, her unvaccinated 7-year-old son came home from school with a fever. The telltale rash across his body followed. But his mild symptoms and swift recovery only hardened Brantner’s anti-vaccination convictions, even after an unvaccinated child died of measles at a hospital 80 miles away.

We’re not going to harm our children or [risk] the potential to harm our children,” she said, “so that we can save yours.”
It's always dip-sh-t o'clock somewhere I guess...

Quote:
Brantner, 34, said she decided not to vaccinate her children after years of her own research and because, she said, her nephew had a severe reaction to the vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis. She moved from New Mexico to Texas in part because it’s easier here to claim an exception to school vaccine mandates.

“A cough, runny nose, fever and rash to a healthy child is mild but vaccine adverse reactions are severe!!!” she commented on Jan. 30 on the local hospital’s Facebook post, which described measles symptoms.

Brantner’s son Paxton recovered from measles with little problem, she said, after she fed him organic food and cod liver oil, bathed him in magnesium salts and rubbed him in beef tallow cream infused with lavender. The family took precautions to protect others in the community, such as ordering groceries for pickup and keeping their older son out of school. He developed a measles rash Friday.

Wait a second, didn't Trump say the U.S. doesn't need Canadian oil? Hmm, perhaps he's just completely full of s*** like he is with everything else.

I am sure this is what they voted for...

With cuts to Social Security Administration staff looming, beneficiaries should expect a lag in service and may want to start putting money aside to help pay the bills, former agency commissioner Martin O’Malley said.#
If you’re dependent on Social Security or Disability, I know it is hard especially if you are totally dependent, but anticipate service interruptions and very likely interruptions of benefits,” O’Malley said. “Put away some money to deal with the interruptions.”#
