Trump's story ain't done yet.

Trump's fantasy was that Putin would not have attacked Ukraine if Trump were President, but if Trump were President and there was an attack despite his personal friendship with Putin, he would win it and all Ukrainians would be so grateful for him bringing peace. Trump has no shame when he spins fantasies about himself as the hero of every story.

Oh. I'm not talking about that story that nobody cares about.

I'm talking about the one that is going to have broad impact here in the states.

How about Chapter 1: SCOTUS?

Bring on the gun control, baby. See what happens.




In Biden*'s fantasies about himself, he's the Good Humor Man.

He gets to eat ice cream all day, every day, and has plenty of opportunity to sniff your daughter's and granddaughter's hair.

The 2nd Amendment was written by slave-owners to prevent abolitionists from forbidding state militias hunting down and killing runaway/rebellious slaves. The Republicans on the Supreme Court would change their minds about the 2nd Amendment if a gunman entering the Supreme Court hunted down and killed Republican Supreme Court justices as if they were rebellious slaves. In 2008, the Court made a 5-4 decision in District of Columbia v. Heller. Kill those 5 Republicans and the decision would go the other way. The Supreme Court is in the District of Columbia, which means it would be particularly ironic that the judges killed are the ones who changed the law so that they could be killed.

6ix, a Federal Marshall handles death threats against Federal judges. I think you should call them, 6ix, because "archiving" does nothing to protect Republican Supreme Court judges who have gone crazy. For example, among constitutional scholars, Dred Scott v. Sandford is widely considered the worst and craziest decision ever rendered by the Supreme Court. A War between the States followed.

On a similar note, if Vladimir Putin is captured, he will be executed for his crimes. Tit for tat, Putin would do the same to Volodymyr Zelenskyy if he was captured.

I'm not their protector. I don't have a cushy Government job with a pension.

But if anything like what you were explaining were ever to happen to 5 Republican Justices I'm sure the Marshals* would like to see this. (one L, stupid... This isn't a Department Store.)

Hope you enjoy legal trouble and paying lawyers for saying stupid shit.

Maybe you can explain to your fake wife and fake daughters and fake cats why you're being subpoenaed to Federal court if and when that day comes, Arthur.

Editorial: The Kyiv Independent’s response to the New York Times editorial board
May 24, 2022 8:38 pm

https://kyivindependent.com/opinion/editorial-the-kyiv-independents-re
sponse-to-the-new-york-times-editorial-board
/

The New York Times editorial, “The War in Ukraine Is Getting Complicated, and America Isn’t Ready,” published on May 19, immediately caused an uproar in Ukraine.

A veiled manifesto of appeasement from a newspaper known for its stellar coverage of Russia’s horrific invasion has disappointed many.

In the editorial, the New York Times editorial board argues that it’s too dangerous to assume that Ukraine can win the war. It says “Russia is too strong,” that Ukraine should make a “painful compromise” and give up some territories to Russia. The U.S. must understand the futility and stop “taunting” Russia, the editorial says. Meaning: Ukraine will lose anyway, stop helping it so it’s over faster.

In short, the editorial attempts to pass off appeasement and betrayal of the free world’s values as pragmatic reasoning.

Dark times have always shed light on those willing to compromise their values to preserve their daily comforts. Neither a French president, a German intellectual, nor an award-winning American newspaper are exempt from being wrong.

As a newsroom witnessing the war from inside Ukraine, we want to set the record straight.

Ukraine winning the war with Russia isn’t “unrealistic” or even “likely.” If we want the world to be anything like what we know it to be, then Ukraine winning is the only option.

And Western financial and military support for Ukraine is the only way to establish “long-term peace and security on the European continent” that the New York Times editorial board is rooting for.

Ukraine’s belief in its victory isn’t based on overconfidence. It’s based on necessity.

Any concession to Russia now will lead to another war sooner or later, while Ukrainians stuck in any region occupied by Russia will be tortured, raped, or killed. The New York Times is running story after story about the living hell through which Russia puts Ukrainian civilians in occupied territories. Meanwhile, its editorial board is suggesting that Ukraine should cede territories to Russia, where more atrocities will undoubtedly happen.

Appeasement isn’t the voice of reason. It’s fear and short-sightedness that will only make things worse, something we’ve all seen too many times in the past.

Allowing Russia to annex Crimea emboldened Russia to try to swallow the Donbas. When it invaded in 2014, carving up a sovereign state and killing civilians, the other world leaders’ tepid response made Russia’s bloody dictator feel empowered to do more.

It’s obvious that he’s been planning the full-scale invasion of Ukraine ever since. It’s often been said by world leaders and analysts that one of Vladimir Putin’s main miscalculations was assuming that the West would let him take Ukraine easily. It didn’t.

Now the New York Times is calling for the West to do what Putin expected and give up.

Make no mistake: If you appease a dictator, whose troops regularly indulge in war crimes, it will lead to a catastrophic geopolitical shift.

A Russian military victory would lead to land grabs and brutal conquest becoming the new norm. Allowing a power-hungry fascist dictatorship to succeed will encourage other dictatorships to try.

Telling the U.S. and NATO to ask Ukraine to sacrifice itself for the delusional hope of “long-term peace and security on the European continent” is the same as urging them to cede Taiwan to China. It’s the same as averting eyes from the rape, torture, and what appears to be a planned-out genocide committed by the Russians in Ukraine and by the Chinese in Xinjiang.

It’s a deal that shouldn’t be taken.

Nor are we forced to take it. The assumption that Russia, despite its colossal battlefield losses, is still a superpower with a potent military is a lie groomed by Russian propaganda over the past 15 years.

It’s a lie many in the West still believe, in spi

Yeah. Match it with Billions of taxpayer dollars.

Fuck off, Ukraine.


There isn't one goddamned thing that would change in my life today, tomorrow or 20 years from now if you were part of Russia immediately after I click submit on this post.

I wonder how all of that Ukraine -Biden money laundering, as documented in Hunter's laptop, will play in the "free" press.

Probably not at all.

But let's not forget that Ukraine is the poorest AND the most corrupt nation in Europe. And that includes Albania, which is saying something!

Fighting for "freedom"??
Piffle!
But at least I got a chuckle out of the concept.

Where is the document publicized? Same place as Trump's promised tax returns?
