Shh!

Don’t let the Republicans know that their cynical attempt to further depress voter turnout is going to disproportionately affect their own supporters!

Holy shit - Trump’s lackeys have reached the point that they’re making cops into the good guys by comparison.

Behind closed doors, the consensus has been that other countries don’t want to get dragged into the current war in accordance with NATO mutual defense agreements.

But since Trump insists that he can end the war, that’s obviously not a consideration for him - by his claims, there will be nothing more standing in the way of Ukraine membership in NATO.

Which makes this announcement that much more significant - essentially what he’s saying is that even after the main obstacle to Ukraine membership has been eliminated, the US will oppose it.

Why?

Because… no, Trump is not Putin’s puppet. He’s something even worse - a cringing sycophant, desperate for affirmation from his strongman idol.

No surprise there - there aren’t enough ignorant people to fully sell Trump’s con job as things stand, so he needs to take steps to make even more people even more ignorant. And hamstringing education is key to that.

That’s what Daddy Putin wants, so that’s what Daddy Putin gets.

So… Trump voters?

I think you have it exactly backwards - that the people who hate him just in and of himself do so for very good reason - because he’s a foul, self-absorbed, sociopathic serial liar, manupulator and rapist - and that it’s the people who ignore the plain truth about him and grant him respect he doesn’t deserve who are motivated by their own weakness.
