#Putin is extremely pleased with his puppet in the #WhiteHouse. ✅
When #Trump - aka #AgentKrasnov - said his presidency would be used for “retribution”, he was parroting his puppet master who planned #retribution against the #UnitedStates for the break-up of the #SovietUnion.
"But every other detail of the woman’s testimony that turns out to be true gives more credibility to the rest of her story."

"This included Atkins’s relationship with an Ohio college, his age, his hair color, his general appearance, & details about his employment in Hilton Head, South Carolina. ...
Of course, the validated details about Atkins do not implicate Trump in any way. The White House, & the president himself, have furiously denied the woman’s claims since her testimony was publicly released, falsely claiming that the president has been 'exonerated.'”

“Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe we don’t. We have a lot of options,” Trump told the newspaper. “It would also mean we had to be there (on Kharg Island) for a while.”

"Why bother protesting tomorrow against the Trump regime? It’s a common question. As good as going out and voicing our collective outrage makes us feel in the moment, do mass anti-Trump protests really make any difference?
Yes, and for four reasons."

Bursting the illusion of invincibility

Yes! more than 8 million people! in a country so reluctant to protest like the US this is quite a feat!
Of course it is still disappointing that not more people went to the streets.. Everyone not protesting at this stage, but who could (physically) protest, is just complicit in the crimes of this government.
"More than 8 million people protested against the Trump administration at more than 3,300 No Kings events [in all 50 states] across the US and in more than a dozen countries on Saturday, according to organizers. It’s the greatest number of protests in a single day in US history, said Britt Jacovich, the deputy communications director for Move On, one of the organizers behind No Kings."

"Before Iran, there was Covid: Trump falls apart in a crisis. But journalists are still letting him write the headlines."
As Dan Froomkin says, this is exactly analogous to how the press behaved when Trump careened from lie to lie and bogus solution to bogus solution during the Covid crisis of his first term.
