What will it take?
Does Donald Trump have to return Alaska to Russia before Americans wake up to the fact that the former gambling casino owner and reality TV personality is under the thumb of Vladimir Putin.
Trump today undercut Director of National Security Dan Coats, who warned July 13 that Russia is doing everything it can to undermine America’s democracy.
Speaking after Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted 12 Russian agents for interfering in the US election, Coats said America’s digital infrastructure is under attack with Russia “as the most aggressive foreign actor.”
The president today acknowledged the warning from Coats and other American intelligence officers who “said they think it’s Russia.” He continued, “I have president Putin, he just said it’s not Russia. I don’t see why it should be.” Perhaps, it is because Putin is an enemy of the US.
Coats knows it’s Russia. He and every other US intelligence service has clearly stated that Russia is guilty of meddling in the election. They anticipate more meddling in the mid-term election. Case closed.
How can Coats continue to serve as a member of Trump’s cabinet? His resignation would send a loud message to GOP leaders.
How can Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker Paul Ryan allow Trump to run amok without at least trying to reel him in.
Trump criticized key US allies, Germany, UK and EU during his most un-excellent adventure overseas, which mercifully has now come to a close following the horror show in Helsinki.

Who knows, the return of Alaska to Russia may be in the cards.

He’s already bagged a Trump.
Pope Leo says he has no fear of the Trump administration or speaking out loudly of the message of the gospel. That is, after all, his job.
Melania Trump's bolt-out-of-the-blue April 9 appearance to claim she had no relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is not going to boost her -12 percent popularity rating. It may make it worse... Mentioning "Avignon," home of the antipopes, to the Vatican's US ambassador is like shouting "Remember the Alamo" on the streets of Mexico City.
Donald Trump served up his tastiest TACO on April 7 when he postponed his threat to wipe out Iran’s civilization for the blocking of Strait of Hormuz.
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian yanks privileges from Congress that is more interested in saving puppies from Sharia law than in paying TSA agents... Responders to RFPs will soon have to spell out their AI plans... France's TotalEnergies totally caves to Trump's pathetic fixation on strangling the offshore power business in the US.
New York’s 34-year-old mayor Zohran Mamdani recovered nicely from the rookie PR mistake that he committed on the eve of St. Patrick’s Day.
