35. We won't.
Mon Dec 15, 2025, 09:39 PM

He's got his Blotaated Billionaire Bill passed and has thrown the economy into chos with his tariffs. Weak kneed waffling on Ukraine will continue to encourage Europe they're on their own, at least in the short term, and I'm not convinced that's the worst part of his idiocy.

He's done the damage he came to do. His dementia is becoming more obvious, even via the limited glimpses we get of him these days. While his team of thieves and half wits will want to pursue their own agendas, their ability to do so will be limited by his inability to give them his full support.

Also, Putin is looking a bi shakier these days, some of his hand picked major officials and Kremlin insiders are being deprived of loot, liberty and sometimes life. So this heap of tratorous snakes can't rely on much support or even happy gudiance in destroying this country from that quarter.

Short term, it will be bad and I think it has to be for next year's elections to stymie his gang by switching Congress, which will act to undp some of their worst. After that, if he remains in office instead of leaving to spend more time with his money and his golf clubs, the outrage level will decrease.
