I assume ‘charity’ means the _Donald Trump Preservation Society_, or something similar. ---

It’s probably a “January 6 Defense Fund” where 90% or more of the money is funnelled directly into Trump’s pocket. ---

It will be settled quickly,” adding that he “got along very well” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who would listen to him. If he’s such good buddies with Putin, why doesn’t he end the war now? Why wait to become President, when thousands of people are dying? Oh, right. ‘I’ll gladly end the war on Tuesday, for Presidency today.’ Trump does have a plan to win the war, and it’s easy. Total and complete capitulation by Ukraine, lifting of all sanctions against Russia, and the dismantlement of NATO. ---

I don’t usually bother with “fact checking” of Trump. We all know there are more lies per minute than can even be counted. This summary, however, was a classic for anyone needing a refresher course. I particularly like this section: > **Trump and job creation** > > Promising to save Americans’ jobs if he is elected again, Trump claimed, “We had the greatest job history of any president ever.” > > **Facts First** : _This is false. The US_ [_lost about 2.7 million jobs_](https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0000000001?output_view=net_1mth) _during Trump’s presidency, the_ [_worst overall jobs record for any president_](https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/04/economy/august-jobs-report-trump-jobs-record/index.html)_. The net loss was largely because of the Covid-19 pandemic, but even Trump’s pre-pandemic jobs record – about 6.7 million jobs added – was far from the greatest of any president ever. The economy_ [_added_](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PAYEMS) _more than 11.5 million jobs in the first term of Democratic President Bill Clinton in the 1990s._ [https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/05/politics/fact-check-trump-cpac/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/05/politics/fact-check-trump-cpac/index.html) ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > …Trump does have a plan to win the war, and it’s easy. Total and complete capitulation by Ukraine, lifting of all sanctions against Russia, and the dismantlement of NATO. None of which would bother today’s GOP voters in the slightest. In fact the surest way for Trump to re-win the Presidency in 2024 is to grab every opportunity to praise and associate himself with Putin. GOP voters _love_ that guy. ---

He pissed me off today after I read that at CPAC, his repulsive eldest male spawn again called John Fetterman “a vegetable”, fit only for “bagging groceries”. I guess being “a vegetable” (not!) is worse than being an ignorant leech desperate for Daddy’s love which will never manifest. ---

The new battle lines - at least in the minds of right-leaning Americans - are between traditionally moralistic authoritarianism and gentler, inclusive democracy. Vlad, like his butt buddy Donald, is unhesitant to persecute the marginalized parts of society. Our US conservatives are maddened by their increasing comfort and wants to see them _hurt_. ---

I already know the answer: They let Fox pretend to be a news organization, Fox radicalizes their base, their base falls in love with a conman, conman gets played by Putin, wash and repeat. Absolutely. In addition: what @Red_Wiggler said, and also a bit more explicitly: today’s GOP sees Putin as the world’s foremost champion of White Christian Supremacy. (Also Straight and Male supremacy, of course.) And so overwhelming is the force of this attraction, that they conveniently forget to notice that Putin _doesn’t let his people own guns_.\* > \*with a _tiny_ number of largely-irrelevant exceptions. ---

Wasn’t sure quite where to stick this bit of twitter insanity, but I’m attaching screenshots of a conversation I was having. Essentially, according to [this](https://imgur.com/a/c3mo7bO) conversation, Kamala Harris is only eligible to be vice president in the state of Indiana, and apparently she’s going to be removed from office due to a combination of the 14th Amendment Article 2, “WRIT OF QUO WARRANTO“ [all caps in original. Not my emphasis] and Wong K Ark. It’s batshit crazy. ---
