Hope is fragile. Hope anyway.
Day 102. It’s like a fever.
We will have to see. There has been a document signed between US and Ukraine. We get rights to some of the minerals in the ground. Some are in Crimea. We will be not be making “assurances.”
“In summary, while the deal strengthens U.S.-Ukraine economic ties and may imply a U.S. stake in Ukraine’s stability, it does not provide explicit assurances of protection from Russia, leaving Ukraine reliant on economic rather than military commitments for deterrence.”
Fox News reported the deal and casually mentioned we now have a stake in the war against Ukraine brought by Putin. Head spinning news as spun by the fact factory of lies. They spin them as cotton candy, a goblins spinning wheel of faux gold, no foot dragging or ire, or spitting with fangs out. But with expectation, but, I love that word sometimes, now, of course, we would be protecting our interest in Ukraine.
Pivot point Ukraine, the country we really are historically in favors of helping. Remember the horror when Trump attempted the withholding of congressionally approved millions for the effort of helping g Ukraine defeat Putin. The trolls then turning their backs in effort to have us follow. Trolls, influencers, can be light handed or heavy. At times the lighter touch is what will turn a head away.
Is Fox having Donald gone sour on his man in Russia? They have scrip wring protocols. After all the gold gee gaws in the oval we’re in position too. After all the Russia hoaxing around.
Fox had an on air, open phone line to Trump during Biden’s time in office gave him rolling commentary and a shadow presidency from MAL. Perhaps the rubber is meeting the road to hell they paved. Maga is seen as a pariah around the world now. Maga is the source of blame. Maga supporters are the ones Trump used to stay out of jail. They helped a lot. January 6th people in jail he pardoned for no good reason. He never needs a good one and manages to say all the bogus reasons for a laugh. Maga is a terrorist organization recognized and abhorred and the USA isn’t looking good at all to those we knew as friends.
Yes, he said it.
Humiliated as he must have been when Putin blew through the ceasefire Donald wanted. He wats peace, he says. Donald was duped and perhaps is seeing himself through the eyes of others? Boy wolf had told everyone in the kingdom he could fix it with a phone call. The only one surprised when Putin kept the bombs bombing Ukraine was Trump.
Trump has emerged in the last couple days as the big fat liar we kept telling everyone he is. But the part where he’s been revealed as simple. Uneducated. And stupid. It’s not an attack, it’s an accurate description. And he’s easily led if he’s not stuck on some stubborn bit like tariffs and on Ukraine it’s hoped.
Scott Bessent below, asked Trump about why he has the Declaration of Independence in the office. The non answer, the hemming and hawing, what he did say left an impression. It’s a declaration that’s a declaration, here’s a link. So stupid.
Or he has forgotten. I hope his clothes have name tags. Anyway… Trump’s time of pulling the wool, turning out the lights in the room, sending wafts of stinky gas never lit, are about done.
It may have been his pointing to the economy then to Joe, then the economy again. For once we saw the trick.
Rubio who’s wearing more hats than Elon, and inhabiting more characters than the Village people is making a consolidation of power pretty obvious. Even Elon’s demonstrations are falling flat. No one but Elon thought it was so hilarious.
Trump believes he has control of Rubio. I have no reason to believe he doesn’t. We are reduced to guessing games in twists and turns of the T2 script that’s got so many writers. Too many. laura Loomer is being given credit for getting it done with Walsh. With Elon out but his back up singers still at work, a different trend is emerging. Debt paid off? Elon in trouble at Tesla. More guessing what they will do next however the pure Maga thoughts are less tainted with Bro. Or not.
However,… he, Rubio, is not a liker of Iran or, ahem, Russia. Perhaps we are full circle on if not keeping our citizens from being snatched and flown to a gulag yet, we can do the big stuff and make Putin stay in his own very large back yard.
Let’s let that fat man be King. King Flip then Flop he is already, so let him flip on Putin. Let’s help write the script. He rules by tweet so so could we. I think it’s working.
He has no respect for The Constitution. It is on the wall in the oval office right now along with the Declaration of Independence. He has no idea what it says or why it was written. This is happening now.
And lastly, for fun and education. Le Sacre du Printemps, the rite of spring. Music by Stravinsky a Russian who made his way to Paris as so many did in moments of an artistic drain away from Russia of musicians, dancers, writers and painters. The immigration was epic and peoples from many countries created art that changed the world. Art that challenged the eye, that challenged the ear birthing an era of “Modern” life. I’m hoping we can do it again. What will it be called?
“On May 29, 1913, Igor Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du Printemps, The Rite of Spring, premiered in Paris, commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev for his Ballets Russes and choreographed by Vaslav Nijinsky. Based on Russian folklore, the avant-garde ballet’s storyline, complex musicality, and ritualistic, modern movement caused quite the commotion in the theater—audience members became increasingly hostile, unruly, rowdy. Though the orchestra and dancers continued through the noise, the rioters were dismissed, and, according to reports in later years, the commotion continued in the streets. Neither the uproar nor the premiere were received well.” It was a time when art began to be expressive of the human experience in a far different way than the times of the renaissance.
Stravinsky is not everyone’s cup of tea. And the story is not the beautiful story we generally are told through ballet. It is very challenging and very human.
Thanks for being here. I wouldn’t be here without you.
