You don't get blood out of a turnip, or humanity from a malignant narcissist. His supporters are now confronting Republican congressional reps all over the U.S. with buyer's remorse, while he and his mob toast the destruction of America with a bent knee to Putin. Their ambush of Zelensky showed the world how a mighty nation has fallen. The question is, can it get up?
Saw a great quote this morning: "Once you understand that Trump works for Putin, everything that's happening makes sense." Putin wants the destruction of Ukraine, yes; but he also wants to collapse of the postwar Western alliance. With the United States as a non-factor and Europe weakened, he hopes to restore Russian grandeur and preeminence as in day of old, never mind that such days never existed.
Our country is a disgrace to have elected this monster. He’s doing nothing he didn’t signal he was going to do, except for turning a ruthless billionaire loose with gutting government with exceptional speed.
The most infuriating thing to me with this countries ignorant voters is that we KNEW he was a Putin syncophant, he’d had FOUR (that we ALL knew of) private meetings with Putin where he kicked out White House staff and interpreters so there was no record of what their conversations were about. And NONE OF HIS VOTERS ASKED THEMSELVES WHY!! There’s no telling how many private phone calls he’s made and received during that time or since either.
The truck load of documents he stole and stored at his Florida gangland headquarters was of no concern to the voters either.
Unlike others who keep waxing optimistic about a comeback I think our democracy is over, the country we were is over, and our freedoms will soon be over. Healthcare, the environment, wildlife, National Parks, you name it, will all be gutted and monetized and run by an oligarch class just like Russia.

Absolutely correct on all points!
I also saw it and immediately thought it was a setup.
What's a good American to do?
Damn good question.
