Because the more you can make America look foolish and incapable, the more you can undermine trust in NATO. The more you can undermine trust in NATO, the more you dissolve the post-WWII ideals and institutions that have reduced wars in Europe. The more you can encourage wars in Europe, the more your invasions into…

I get that Charlie’s parents are grieving to the brink of breaking. And it’s a horrifying situation all around. I wish 45* and the Pope had stayed the fuck out of it. The whole fiasco is so abominably horrifying. For the people actually involved (fuck off and stay out 45* maybe see that American kids get health care…

Delegitmizing democratic systems also takes domestic pressure off their regime. Trolling us is an existential neccessity for them.

It’s grief. And to a certain extent, I get it—it has to be agonizing to watch your beautiful little boy deteriorate starting when he was a month old to the point where he can’t move or breathe or eat by himself. I can’t think of anything worse. And to know that it’s genetic so in a weird way, you played a role in…

Oh this is 100% at the behest of Putin. If not to put pressure on Trump to get those sanctions lifted, then at least to sow further discord in the U.S. political climate. Little leaks like this are perfect because they will agitate both liberals and trumpists, but are nowhere near enough the smoking gun you’d need to…

I think 45 has MASSIVE loans from Russians, and he’s having problems paying the vig, so he’s being told that if he toes the line now, he won’t get fucked over. And it’s not just him. I will also point to Maddow’s recent (last night?) examination of Manafort owing somewhere between ten and seventeen million dollars to…

Unless your friend had something under $1000 in his stock portfolio when Trump took office, there’s no way the  portfolio has doubled.

You ever see those Russian dashcam videos? This is like that.

I am baffled by the whole thing. What does it mean? What is he trying to say? It’s like trying to understand what Trump is talking about on any given day.

Given the brain damage and the fact even the doctor who wants to give the experimental treatment has concurred that it’s irreversible he’s likely not even self-aware even more.

“When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same.”

Ironically Obama is the only reason Trump has anything to hang his hat as President.

Washington Post just confirmed that Sessions did talk about Trump campaign concerns/activities with the Russian Ambassador. So, again, he lied to Congress in his confirmation hearings.

I saw that the Russian Foreign Minister did an interview and said that Trump and Putin met more than three times. My first thought was why would he say that? You keep hearing about how Putin doesn’t f around and will make someone mysteriously fall to their death from a hotel balcony, get shot in front of the Kremlin…

I’m an American doing their PhD between London and Helsinki and I often feel as if the world is upside down.

UK Update:

“When you are bought by your parents to a kindergarten do you mix with the people who are waiting in the same room to start going to a classroom?”

Between that and the couple who sold their daughter only getting 3-7 years i’m just done.

No jail time? Fuck this world.
