Before you go into the Yuzhe, you should know there’s a published recording & transcript of the call and one of the Russian participants has already verified it. The Russians totally love to humiliate the Americans so they’re happy to own it.

Maga has gotten: - a new military alliance with UAE & Saudi Arabia. - military strikes in the Caribbean & possibly a war there. - threats of war in Nigeria. - air strikes in Somalia. - promise to intervene & reconstruct Israel’s damage in Gaza. - promise to reconstruct Russia’s damage in Eastern Ukraine. - promise of support for Syria, a country led by a man Trump personally called a terrorist. Helluva ride.

I agree, it’s not our war. It’s Russia’s and Putin’s war. It started in 2014 when Ukraine sought to join the EU, and it was encouraged when we did nothing about Chechnya in 1999 & Georgia in 2008. And we did nothing while Putin pounded Mariupol, Donetsk & Luhansk through 2021. We promised to protect Ukraine in the Budapest agreement as well. But it is 100% Russia’s war. However you should know as confected, by Russia, this agreement requires the US to pay plenty, as we will have a hand in reconstruction of what Russia obliterated. Kushner’s presence certainly ensures the Trump Org & the Trump family will get paid as part of that, as with Gaza.

There’s a difference between saying stop all funding for Ukraine Vs. America’s no. 1 adversary influencing him to take that decision through his de facto national security advisor.

“He does not get regular exercise, in part because he has a long-held theory that people are born with a finite amount of energy and that vigorous activity can deplete that reserve, like a battery.” - Just random notes about this guy’s weird psychology are hilarious & it’s incredible someone like this could get elected county alderman.

Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office >>>The day before Halloween, President Trump landed at Joint Base Andrews after spending nearly a week in Japan and South Korea. He was then whisked to the White House, where he passed out candy to trick-or-treaters. Allies crowed over the president’s stamina: “This man has been nonstop for DAYS!” one wroteonline. A week later, Mr. Trump appeared to doze off during an event in the Oval Office. With headline-grabbing posts on social media, combative interactions with reporters and speeches full of partisan red meat, Mr. Trump can project round-the-clock energy, virility and physical stamina. Now at the end of his eighth decade, Mr. Trump and the people around him still talk about him as if he is the Energizer Bunny of presidential politics. The reality is more complicated: Mr. Trump, 79, is the oldest person to be elected to the presidency, and he is aging. … Still, nearly a year into his second term, Americans see Mr. Trump less than they used to, according to a New York Times analysis of his schedule. Mr. Trump has fewer public events on his schedule and is traveling domestically much less than he did by this point during his first year in office, in 2017, although he is taking more foreign trips. He also keeps a shorter public schedule than he used to. Most of his public appearances fall between noon and 5 p.m., on average. And when he is in public, occasionally, his battery shows signs of wear. During an Oval Office event that began around noon on Nov. 6, Mr. Trump sat behind his desk for about 20 minutes as executives standing around him talked about weight-loss drugs. At one point, Mr. Trump’s eyelids drooped until his eyes were almost closed, and he appeared to doze on and off for several seconds. At another point, he opened his eyes and looked toward a line of journalists watching him. He stood up only after a guest who was standing near him fainted and collapsed. Mr. Trump has prompted additional questions about his health by sharing news about medical procedures he has had, but not details about them. While in Asia, Mr. Trump revealed that he had undergone magnetic resonance imaging at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in early October. “I gave you the full results,” Mr. Trump told reporters, mischaracterizing the summary that was released by his physician, which did not say that Mr. Trump had an M.R.I. scan and contained few other details. “I have no idea what they analyzed,” Mr. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One recently after he was again asked about his M.R.I. “But whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well, and they said that I had as good a result as they’ve ever seen.” Mr. Trump also applies makeup to a bruise on the back of his right hand, adding speculation about a medical condition that his physician and aides say is caused by taking aspirin and shaking so many hands. In September, the bruising on his hand, coupled with swollen ankles, caused observers on the internet to speculate wildly about his health. … For years, concerns and questions about Mr. Trump’s health have often been met with obfuscation or minimal explanation from the people around him. Mr. Trump’s physicians have not taken questions from reporters in years, including when he was seriously ill with Covid in 2020. There were no medical briefings held after an assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pa., last summer. Many of the facts that concerned critics about Mr. Trump’s physical health during his first term are present now. He does not get regular exercise, in part because he has a long-held theory that people are born with a finite amount of energy and that vigorous activity can deplete that reserve, like a battery. He enjoys red meat and is known to eat McDonald’s by the sackful. According to his physician, however, he has lost weight. In 2020, Mr. Trump tipped the scales at 244 pounds, a weight formally deemed obese for his 6-foot-3 frame. This year, Mr. Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean P. Barbabella, said in a summary of the president’s health that he weighed 224 pounds. Mr. Trump frequently muses about the effectiveness of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic — he refers to them as the “fat drug” — and talks about people he knows who have taken the medications, but his physician has not said if he takes one of the drugs himself. … Still, in his second term, Mr. Trump’s schedule shows some significant changes. According to a Times analysis of the official presidential schedules in a databasemaintained by Roll Call, Mr. Trump’s first official event starts later in the day. In 2017, the first year of his first term, Mr. Trump’s scheduled events started at 10:31 a.m. on average. By contrast, Mr. Trump in his second term has started scheduled events in the afternoon on average, at 12:08 p.m. His events end on average at around the same time as they did during the first year of his first term, shortly after 5 p.m. The number of Mr. Trump’s total official appearances has decreased by 39 percent. In 2017, Mr. Trump held 1,688 official events between Jan. 20 and Nov. 25 of that year. For that same time period this year, Mr. Trump has appeared in 1,029 official events. Mr. Trump still regularly comes down to the Oval Office after 11 a.m., according to a person familiar with his schedule. This routine is a holdover from his first term: After he complained about being overscheduled in the mornings, Mr. Trump kept so-called executive time hours in the White House residence before he headed downstairs for work. … Mr. Trump has long rambled in his speeches; during his 2024 campaign and in his second term, the meandering has often been noticeable. He can veer off script to share stories that are sometimes riddled with untruths, such as his false claim that his uncle, John Trump, had taught the domestic terrorist Ted Kaczynski at M.I.T. “I said, ‘What kind of a student was he, Uncle John, Dr. John Trump?’ He said, ‘What kind of a student?’ And then he said, ‘seriously good.’ He said he’d go around correcting everybody,” Mr. Trump said during a speech in Pennsylvania in July. “But it didn’t work out too well for him, didn’t work out too well, but it’s interesting in life. But I will say this that we have the greatest brains, we have the greatest power and we are going to have more electric.” … Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman, who served as a White House physician from 2000 to 2013 and wrote a book about presidential health care, said that Mr. Trump’s schedule contrasts with those held by George W. Bush, who was 54 when he took office, and Barack Obama, who was 47. Both built exercise into their daily schedules; Mr. Bush was in the Oval Office by 6:45 a.m. every day, Dr. Kuhlman said, and Mr. Obama would arrive by 10 a.m., though his days often went later, until 7 p.m. or so, when he would meet his family for dinner. “They show him as effective,” Dr. Kuhlman said of Mr. Trump’s aides, “but every time he’s in the Oval Office, he’s sedentary.” … There is one thing Mr. Trump is doing more of in his second term: talking about the afterlife. He has brought up heaven — and the question of whether he would get in — half a dozen times since taking office for the second time. “There has to be some kind of a report card up there someplace,” Mr. Trump said during an interview with Fox News in August, adding: “It’s sort of a beautiful thing.” …<<<

A source told News 9 that Bruna Caroline Ferreira was taken into custody in Revere, Massachusetts.

This is old hat, but when he does this it reminds me so much of Captain Queeg from The Caine Mutiny. It’s really most like a (just) 5 year old child, but in an adult it’s bananas crazy pants.

The stuff he says.

Yeah, about this. I swear, this guy is the craziest loon.

In case no one has seen it NYT has published a report detailing Trump’s decline, including that he doesn’t start his day until after noon.

I don’t know if anyone has so much as seen a picture of any of these boats. They’re supposed to be high speed, speedboats but no one has an analysis of what we’ve been hitting.

Probably this is transforming Kelly into the leader of the Dems after one of the few chips the GOP had left was lack of a leader. Dems have their tip of the spear.

Seriously the mere concern & potential for this sort of scenario is what got Alger Hiss indicted for spying.

>>A federal security officer linked to a thwarted Jan. 6 pipe bomb attack cleared her name by providing an alibi: video of her playing with her puppies at the time the devices were placed, sources told CBS News. The FBI has now ruled her out as a suspect in the 2021 plot, according to three sources — but only after her name circulated on social platforms and a conservative news site.<< - CBS Really need to add the pipe bomb & the FBI 270 to the Deep State investigation score card.

Add this to the Deep State score card. Golly all this insurrection & lying and not one charge.

That’s not a national divorce, thats suburbia.

Let’s call this what it is: an authoritarian attempt to intimidate an opposition party figure exercising free speech to remind soldiers of the primacy of their oath to the Constitution & only the Constitution.

The way this works is the lesson ti Cuba & Nicaragua isn’t to stand down, it’s to arm up.

Hey you’re a good man, hang in there & god bless.

You thought enough of it to seek comment here. I’m guessing your instinct is telling you something.

Grab a friend & go see him.

Unflattering headlines. Cracks me up. Can’t wait to see what bikini model Trump picks to replace him… Meet Erika Kirk, your new F-B-I-Director.

Eh, it’s believable. Trump has pardoned multiple people convicted of sedition. And he was himself indicted in an investigation into this nation’s largest mass insurrection in 160 years. And a Secretary of Defense who uses illegal channels to transmit classified information, including one time copying a reporter. And we have a no. 2 at FBI who completely skipped his security review. And Patel who uses a publicly owned jet for private (really private) purposes & appears to be part of the bitcoin graft gravy train that defines this administration. The Congressmen should all refuse to cooperate.
