So, the Orange Quisling claims to be the one in charge in that relationship. I guess Putin just obediently pays all the bills.

Well, we know unless Trump is Court-ordered to pay them, he'll never pay his bills. Just ask thousands of contractors he stiffed for work they did at all his rat-holes/hotels.He stiffed them for work done per an executed/agreed-upon contract then made them spend money on lawyers to sue him. And he would send his lawyers to Court to settle for pennies on the dollar while each contractor had to take time off work to attend Court. He's a real fkn pos. Maybe the Biggest POS?

Everybody knew about this. Makes one wonder why any of those people worked for him without being paid in advance.

Hmm, Donnie "jokes" he may flee to Russia? Was it a joke or is he floating a trial balloon?

Donnie cowered around Vlad; the photos are there. That was the total of their relationship. Sorry Donnie, Vlad doesn't pay his debts any more than you.

Kudlow's a journalist? I thought he was an economist.

Yes, both, allegedly. He fooled the orange one into installing him into his Cabinet after he watched Kudlow on Fox. He doesn't seem to do either one very well.

he is to economics what Typhoid Mary was to home help. He needs to be stepped on, HARD

Is he either one? I mean, I know he's *supposed* to be one, but I've always gotten the impression that you could do pretty well by listening to whatever he had to say and then doing the opposite.

Good stuff, as always, Liz! I watched Kudlow lickling Trump's behind. It was a pathetic display of....non-journalism. He should have handed Trump a towel after that one!

I have a (maybe not so) quick? for you....tonight, Rachel Maddow had a segment on the GA Legislature potentially removing Fani Willis to protect the pathologically-lying orange clown. My initial thoughts were, even if they're able to remove Ms. Willis, someone else in her Dept would step right up and prosecute him until that person was removed (buying time for a Conviction) and so on through that Dept. But I believe she's in Office by winning an Election for that Office (vs. appointment), so it would seem they'd need to remove her via the Ballot Box (only). Or I guess the citizens could Impeach her from Office? Wouldn't Jack Smith just pick up the ball at that point or is this strictly state-driven? Maybe spineless Garland could step-in, as he has in other states?

I believe GA passed a law recently that allows the lege to remove any DA they disagree with, much like many states have created laws that'll let them take over cities that they don't like the choices voters made for who gets to run them. The introduction of the law predated Willis' prosecution of TFG, so despite what many were saying when it was passed, it wasn't created solely to target her and her case. But I'm sure it's going to at least get floated as an idea.

Yes, I thought it was passed prior to Willis' indictment but in anticipation of Willis' indictment. It appears Trump was the ONLY reason to pass it. The so-called Party of Law and Order (apparently) doesn't want either.

How could you tell? He always walks funny. Like either he just dropped a load in his DependsTM or got buttfucked raw.

Not the courthouse - the Fulton County Jail.

Yep, the stanky Fulton Cty Jail. I feel badly for the poor Secret Service team that has to go in with him.

As I wrote a number of years ago on Wonkette, my spouse was present at a Rethug fundraiser where Shrub spoke about his meeting with Putin. Shrub admitted to finding Putin terrifying and had scary eyes (I think he might have said soulless, too).

When Biden looked Putin the eye, he said, “you have no soul.”

I’ll go with Biden.

A barrel of oil is $80, and gas here is over $5 a gallon.

We can almost see the Cherry Point refinery (WA state) from our house. And gas prices are outrageous.

It’s almost like it takes longer for the price of gas to come down than it does to go up.

Gas has been going up in spite of the price of crude going down, almost as if it's not the price of crude dictating the retail price at all!

Putin was in Ukraine since 2014. So yes he would demonstrably put troops in Ukraine, kill ten thousand or so people, and piss on Donny's head about it.

Yeah, and electing Trump in 2024 will mean that Putin will practically be sitting in the White House. Again.
