An imperfect moderator, no doubt, but at least he is trying.

that as his way to monetize his presidency in the first term. A fatwad scorpion at all times.

This is a function of Trump simply not knowing anything.

So, he shakes his head yes to Putin, and then today, he does the same with Europe’s very capable leadership.

My guess is that Rubio is our best hope to hold the line against Putin.

I will be surprised if Putin budges. I still believe Putin will only come to the peace table when he is on the mat. Per a piece I read today:

“Ultimately, the diplomatic problem the Trump administration faces is how to persuade Russia to accept an independent and sovereign Ukraine. All the signs from Moscow are that it has not backed off from a maximalist position. The only plausible way to end the war is to create a battlefield reality that convinces Putin that he cannot make more gains, that he will pay a massive price for continuing the war, and that this reality is unlikely to change. That means that the United States and its allies need to, paradoxically, get serious about arming Ukraine for a protracted conflict and putting pressure on Russia. That is the only way to create the conditions for successful negotiations to end the war.”

He is always talking to the next person. After he talks to one side, he immediately starts talking to the other side in the press. You can interpret him as changing his course based on the previous conversation, but I think the course always remains the same, and he is just trying to steer the next person immediately...he doesn't wait for a private meeting which might take days or weeks to set up.

Again, the odd thing is that he negotiates in public, so he takes multiple positions, in public (because that's how you negotiate...start at one point, and move to another point, to allow the other side to save face, hopefully meeting at a point we can be satisfied with). Not what I would do necessarily (the public part), but it seems to work.

It'd be like MF announcing Buchner as the starter. Keep the opponent guessing.

Trump has never understood that Putin is the problem, is the monster.

It’s sad we’re forced to think and believe our leaders are honest and forthright but trumpism and the latent Gingrich republicanism is all about the grab. The grab of money through power.

That's the thing with you Democrats. Always trying to control people's sex lives.
