NBC News spent at least 3x the time last night talking about Biden's doctor taking the Fifth and a paddleboarder in Maine who was murdered than they did about all the shit Trump spewed yesterday. It's not just Fox that's covering for Trump's gross and endless incompetence.

There is a difference between ignoring Trump due to viewer fatigue and explaining that whatever he does is "genius".

But yeah, the fact that Trump does what he does and it no longer is deemed "newsworthy" is quite the scary reality we now live in

He's just *now* figuring this out.

I wonder, as we see his brain turning to mush a little more each day, if this is how it manifests for him. Like with my father, he can't remember if he went to the bank yesterday. Maybe Trump can't keep track any more of the layers and layers of bullshit he's spewed for political or egotistical reasons. If so, it's still going to suck as a country, but could be fun to watch.

I lost my grandma to dementia. Watching her slip away as a person was one of the hardest things I've ever seen. It's a fate that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Well, almost anyone.
 
Interesting that one of Trump’s favorite media outlets is focusing on this story for several reasons, one being if they sense a genuine shift in Trump’s view of Putin and Russia’s prosecution of the invasion of Ukraine:

 


PS - Putin’s apparent cheek plumping implants look ridiculous. Did his multiple body doubles have to get the same treatment?
 
Vlad better brush up on his Putonghua and might even help to learn a bit more Korean.

In addition to being a cheap way of disposing of munitions that were soon to expire, I had hoped the Ukraine War would jar the United States into realizing that cheap drones were a game changing technology. I should have realized that the whole "cheap" thing made drones a dead letter on day one as far as the US military-industrial complex was concerned.

So Trump now says that while Putin has been "very nice", he now feels like he is being fed bullshit by him...

And THIS is the greatest negotiatior of all time? Just now realizing that Putin is stringing him along/playing him?

The level of pure incompetence just boggles the mind. And wonder how Fox can possibly spin this in his favor as they are contractually obligated to do

Yeah what’s better when he was a Russian agent or was he just so blindly stupid he really thought he and Putin were friends . He figured he’d fuck over Ukraine a bit get a sweet deal for his buddy and maybe he gets a Nobel Peace prize. Is this real life damn.

Do Patriots even work against mass drone attacks?

I'll give Trump a little credit on this. He has obviously realized he's not nearly as effective a dealmaker as he thought he was. He's finally doing what we should have been doing from the start. We wasted six months and thousands of Ukranian lives, but I really doubted Trump would ever be willing to pivot to the Biden approach, even if it was the obviously correct one from the beginning.

He said 24 hours. Said maybe not even that long.
 


Sigh. But even if this approach is mostly form over substance, the result still means more support for Ukraine.

I wonder the same thing, and do you launch a $5 million missile at a $500 drone?
