"They were careless people, ... they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."

Offended because his decorations were compared to a mid-tier restaurant. Not because he was compared to a clownish dictator. It all tracks.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Nationalize SpaceX. Musk violated the terms of his tourist visa by working and should be stripped of his citizenship and deported to South Africa.

Q: Do you think it's right for the richest man in the world to have so much power over what goes on in a war because Russia and Ukraine? TRUMP: Well, I don't think he does. First of all, he's a very good person. He's not gonna do anything wrong. Elon will never do anything wrong.

The AfD wants the theft of 421,000 emails investigated. Quite right. Though I suspect the really interesting question isn't who hacked them, but what German prosecutors might find if they start looking closely enough at the contents. Türen auf, bitte.

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

Social Security is not the reason we have a 40T debt you moron. We've had structural deficits for years because you refuse to align taxation with expenditures Americans want. These people. Good riddance.

Zelenskyy on Trump: "I hope that he will change his decisions, because I think it's all mistakes. It will not help us and it will not help the United States. But it's not my choice. And I hope he will change his attitude to Putin ... we can't compare me and Putin. He's the aggressor."

RIP Pax Americana. This will not be good for anyone including the MAGA dolts who enabled its demise. Good luck America.

Should have said “amount” rather than “much”, because what I mean is that the coverage of the collapse of the post-wwii order does not adequately reflect just how seismic it is.

Ron Johnson blames US for Putin invading Ukraine: "The way we treated Russia after we won the Cold War, how we pushed them. I'm not defending Putin, but we said we were not gonna move NATO one inch to the east. We brought it right to their doorstep basically. What did we think Putin was gonna do?"

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.
