Trump is now blaming Ukraine for starting the war. Trump agreed with Putin about everything. Trump thinks Putin will treat him as an equal and they can divide the world along with the Crown Prince, and Xi. Trump doesn’t realize how he will be pushed aside by Musk. That is happening already. There seems to be a slight chance that there are at least a half dozen Republican senators who don’t want to align with Russia. At least they say that now.

Really, this is treason. It’s been going on for 14 years. All Trump wants to do is undo the work of every other president since Roosevelt. He wants to rewrite history and show that we lost the Cold War and have Russia win.

is Dellinger a whistleblower?

I he related to Walter?

Kathleen Weber's avatar

Dellinger is the head of the federal agency tasked with protecting whistleblowers. I do not know if he is related to Walter.

Daniel Solomon's avatar

That doesn't mean he alleges that he is one.

Hampton Dellinger does not claim to be a whistleblower at all. He is the head of a federal agency which is tasked with protecting government employees who are whistleblowers.

I know. I also knew one of his predecessolrs who was forced out during the GWB administration.

If he were a whistleblower he'd be golden. Nothing in the docs.

This daily nightmare of events are being caused by two self centered egotistical personalities that did not grow beyond puberty! Like two bulls tearing apart a china shop, they are personally responsible for destroying our democracy by pitting one neighbor against another with lies and deceit. These two excuses for human beings, filled with greed and self riotousness, have no place here in our once great country. Many members of our congress have helped them and lack the backbone to stop this madness. Where are the great leaders that once worked for the people and our democracy? They should be thrown out of this country, never to return! Thank you to all who have stood up to these two bullies and put their careers on the line for the principals we hold dear.

There is a woman I have followed on YouTube since before the pandemic. Old buildings. She doesn't speak English. Finally I realized that it was Ukraine I was watching. Before the Russian invasion. Again she appeared on YouTube tonight. She rescues animals. You think of all the animals left behind when people fled as the Russians invaded. I know many of the fleeing took their dogs and cats by train. But I'm here to attest that this wonderful woman in the Ukraine is still rescuing the dogs and cats, taking them to her house. She is young, slim and well dressed. She takes them to the vet. Fascinating to watch what she does as the country is being bombed.

Could someone explain what is needed to stop/arrest Elon Musk? What are the procedural options? I'd also like to know what is necessary to remove Trump based on mental incapacity.

I do enjoy reading the columns and comments. I can’t read it all but love having choices.

Thank you for the important interview, Jen. I loved hearing your suggestion of what might be Nobel Prize worthy.

Susan Rice? Gimme a break.

That’s the topic of an article that I didn’t read. Had the opportunity to check her out last time she thought Maine needed her to run for something. We don’t.

That’s what you care about?

I subscribed to the Contrarian because I like Jennifer Rubins columns in the Washington Post. I don't have time to watch a video or read through a conversation. Where is the good writing?
