Trump and his oligarchs see Russia as a model to emulate: a regime with no constraints on the leader, limitless opportunities for corruption, fully controlled media, and the freedom to persecute the opposition with impunity. No wonder he sides with Putin and not the free world.

Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

Thank you all for your support. This situation is heartbreaking for Ukrainians because every cent russia makes on diesel funds this war. Over here, that money isn't just an abstract concept, it causes devastating damage: more destroyed towns, a harder winter, and very real loss of life.

Donald has lifted sanctions on Russian diesel. We will use the money to help Iran. Who are fighting the USA. Donald is paying us to help kill American soldiers.

Yeah, though it is not only those two. There seems to be a double digit number of references with mistakes or hallucinations. Guess it is questionable whether the person actually engaged with the work

Selling out Ukraine to side with Russia in order to marginally reduce the negative impacts of his dumb war with Iran

Haha, I wish that was the case. Maybe they also thought that Ellen-Edward is so far away in Australia that no one would actually know whether he changed name

In other words, a 10 percent contraction in one of Britain’s most successful exports. If it were steel or fish or other infinitely less profitable sectors, people would be having a meltdown.

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

Der kan man bare se.

But I fear that Trump will be even more erratic and aggressive, when he faces more roadblocks and cannot govern as unhindered anymore, making him more dangerous. Anyway, these are just some thoughts. I'm by no means an expert on American politics, so would be curious if there is something I missed?

in funding bills. I guess there will also be a huge psychological effect, empowering Democrats and allowing Republicans to put greater distance between themselves and Trump. This will be important going into 2028 and the fight to preserve American democracy.

Thus, it seems to me the most important consequence would be that Democrats can block Trumps nominees to cabinet, supreme court, and so on, forcing him to compromise or leave positions open. Moreover, Congress can open investigations and perform oversight. Guess they also have more bargaining power

I am wondering what the most important consequences would be if the Democrats manage to take both the House and the Senate? Trump isn't really having a legislative agenda anyway, not much being passed, preferring to use executive orders. And he would be able to veto bills coming from congress.

As a reminder, Trump is already on National Park passes, and people have been told they will not be admitted if the image is vandalized. At some point, this is not so much branding government services as imposing the images of a personalist regime.
