I’ve been thinking a lot lately about a letter from Thomas Jefferson to WS Smith in 1787. I worry it will prove prescient. Focus on “And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time…” and subsequent text.

Trump can’t even remember instructions for two goddamned days! He’s gotta call HQ and be all like “is it ‘first you keep the Dunbas and then you grab Estonia’, or is it Estonia first?” . Putin must be so disappointed in him. (Jk jk Trump has no fucking idea where Estonia is.).
Trump paused his meeting with President Zelensky and European leaders to call Putin – CNN.

NEWS: Trump's administration is discussing buying a stake in Intel Corp. after Trump's meeting with the CEO this week, per sources. It would be a signal of support for the tech firm and its massive, but beleaguered, Ohio chip manufacturing project.

First, Trump should *pass* the Presidential Fitness test. And, I don't mean "Person, woman, man, camera, tv" or even the Nathan's Famous hotdog eating contest. I mean, any one of the five fitness events. Maybe that could be the under ticket for the upcoming WH UFC match.
