Does Putin realize how ridiculous, weak, and small this kind of stunt makes him look? It's almost self-satire. The word "laughingstock" comes to mind.
This is fun.
I could do this all day.
All. Day.
"That's pride fucking with you. Fuck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps."
This is about how menacing Putin looks in the photo.
"They keep on coming and going, and going and coming...and always, too soon!"

Trump stole taxpayer $ every time he went to the golf course as president, capitulated to Putin on the world stage, killed 750,000+ Americans by sabotaging the pandemic response, and then launched a failed coup to stay in office.

I don't know how much more obvious it could be.
When people realize he's stealing their money, look out, I thought.

When Republicans see he's slave to Russia, look out, I thought.

When people start dying in droves, that will wake them up, I figured.

Nope, nyet, nah.
When Trump tried to topple our democracy—when his besiegers, in his name, took a break from trying to murder the VP and the Speaker of the House to smear their own shit on the walls of the Capitol—that should have been the "I'd like to solve the puzzle" moment.

But no.

On the same day Fascists in the Senate kill the voting rights bill, the Fascist at Fox announces he will return to Budapest to fluff the Fascist running Hungary, Victor Orbán—a former bag man for Semion Mogilevich, head of the Russian mob.
Here again is my deep dive on America's smug, bow-tied despot apologist—bosom friend to dead pimps.

His origin story will surprise you, if you're not familiar with it:

“Who needs a soul anyway? Souls are boring.” —my namesake
To be clear: this is a quote from the #Successionfinale which I’m not spoiling, but was brilliant.

Off topic: Last week, in a discussion about #Succession, my friend @Canissamus compared it to "Arrested Development," and now I can't stop thinking about it.
Remember, the pilot of "Arrested Development" is built around the retiring patriarch announcing who will succeed him as CEO of the family business.
And this is fun...

If the Democrats in Washington want to actually, you know, DO something to fight back against the dark money forces that have subverted SCOTUS & approved the #TexasAbortionBan, figure out #WhoOwnsKavanaugh.

It's both popular w/Dem voters AND the right thing to do.
The only politician who seems remotely interested in this is @SenWhitehouse, who is patiently explaining how dark money works. He needs help.

Ask #WhoOwnsKavanaugh.
Dear @SenGillibrand. I am your constituent. You claim to be working always for women & families. Please do more to kick this rotten, abusive sexual predator off the bench.

Read our five-part series. Ask #WhoOwnsKavanaugh.
