The Republican Party is on the side of Russia against Ukraine. It’s not me saying that, it’s their cult leader. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoWow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.
Trump really is on Russia’s side. He wants the kind of dictatorship that Putin has.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: “I think it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president”
The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.
This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.
We're maybe a week away from a Trump official shouting "White Power!" at one of these conferences.

Facing Backlash, Trump Says His Super PAC Will Pay for Taxpayer-Funded Ads (Gift Article)
The president said that his PAC, MAGA, Inc., would pay for TV ads promoting him that had been paid for with taxpayer money.

Hastert wore a flag pin and preached morality. In Republican politics, that counts as passing the background check.
This is exactly the kind of bold, decisive, damn-the-consultants kind of leadership the GQP (and Dems) need. apnews.com/article/trum...

Wasn’t there something else that he did which was really, really evil?
So we needed to start another war in Middle East because of a fictitious claim that a country possessed a weapon of mass destruction? At least we’ve never made that mistake before. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The most Republican thing ever is to claim you suddenly care about affordability by giving a speech at a yacht club.

Trump’s TIME interview should have been treated about like Biden’s debate performance. That it mostly wasn’t says a lot about the media’s ongoing normalization of Trump’s cognitive downward spiral.

The life philosophy of Roy Cohn is now baked into the DNA of the Republican Party via his disciple Donald Trump. In many ways it is Roy Cohn’s Republican Party now and reflects his values.
I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Trump is just 100% incoherent these days, and desperate to tell anyone who will listen that he is super-smart and definitely doesn't have dementia.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTRUMP: Did you see the story about my uncle? TIME: The one who taught at MIT? TRUMP: I have the highest of IQs. I have the highest.
I think many voters (esp. younger ones) are disenchanted and disillusioned with democracy. They know the GQP is the party of oligarchs, but they also see Dems as feckless and corporate. If Dems win in Nov and they fail to make radical corrections to the 🍊 regime and SCOTUS, the US is really doomed.
Two Schmitt staffers realizing this might be their last day.
