I suspect waiting for him to be out of office and preparing what cases can be brought against him then would be better use of time, meanwhile tying him up in Congress in endless hearings to expose the fraud on the American public.

John Bolton, former national security advisor in Trump's 1st administration:
"Trump is a useful idiot who really doesn't understand what's at stake in Ukraine...".
"...in the last few weeks, he's been focused not on geo politics but on domestic issues... he's in deep trouble"
"The 300,000 tons of diesel make up for 60% of one day [US consumption].."
"...for Trump it's announcing the deal, it's not necessarily the results of it..."
"...people understand [will the deal help him?] that there's nothing substantive in a lot of what he's saying here..."
"...the real problem is, Trump sees international relations as essentially entirely embedded in the personal relationships with their leaders..."
...and about Europe where people are saying "..it's over, we cannot regard US as our ally...":
JB "People who say that in Europe is giving Donald Trump exactly what he wants. That is the kind of talk that gives him the excuse to say 'well, the Europeans don't want us, we'll just withdraw from NATO..."
He goes on to say that there is overwhelming support for Ukraine in the GOP but Trump has intimidated so many but after November 3rd, he expects to see a change in Republicans comig forward in their support.
"The ground is breaking up underneath his feet.."
Worth a listen, it's barely 9 minutes.

Interesting that he obviously wants bad midterm results for Republicans to jolt them into dumping Trumping, and to return to supporting Ukraine, as he believes may Republicans want to. He seems to be taking that almost as a given.

It is. Maybe it's a sign of the times when you think (and it is a case of relativism) that Bolton could be labelled a moderate Republican.

I noticed that and well, his sentiments can only be interpreted as someone who cares for his nation.

That was worth the listen, thanks, even given (or maybe because of) his history of being a war-hungry Republican hawk.

I've watched this a few times now, and Abdul-el-Sayed handles this attempted 'gotcha' moment (from a son of a current Republican Trumpian strategist) extremely well... calmly and respectfully, without conceding an inch, and making the questioner look like a dick. (Sorry the whole exchange isn't yet on Youtube.)

The only thing I recall about Rifkind is the comment from someone who had to deal with him - that his breath was foul enough to fell a horse.

Report that highlighted Trúmp's attitude to the public
Lots of the usual stuff about Trůmp ignoring Courts orders, etc. But to me that he seems to relish taking something that is used by locals "of all income levels" and turn it into some excluside high end (and thus expensive) place again illustrates his complete sociopathy.
