John Bolton's take on the meeting:    https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/15/politics/video/bolton-trump-putin-alaska-summit-digvid

That said, as expected, Putin got his photo-op on American soil, his troops continue to assault Ukrainian positions with the aid of North Koreans and his foreign minister wore a sweater to the summit with the letters of the former soviet union emblazoned on it. That should tell you something--Trump was played--again and Ukraine wasn't invited to the table, either...

As I stated here long ago, and as stated by many other conservatives and legal scholars, the fine was so exorbitant that it violated the US Constitution's 8th amendment.

$515 Million dollars of a fine based upon on a sham trial where nobody had any damages and the witnesses like Deutschbanke all said they were completely happy with their dealings with Donald Trump and said that they would gladly do business with him again, but that wasn't something the corrupt Judge and the corrupt Letitia James wanted to hear.

The left just had a big deflation of their massive egos and the RINOs here must be crying in their soup as well. 

Another win against the Mafioso-like Leftist Democrats and another win for President Donald Trump.   

Figures you and the rest of right wing media omits the upholding of the charge of fraud--far from the claim of "total victory" posted by Trump--and concludes he's somehow been exonerated. 
Not that such a fine would have been much of a setback anyway:

"President Trump's venture into crypto products has increased his family's wealth by billions in the last six months, according to a new report, as his administration continues to loosen the federal government's regulatory approach to the digital currency industry as a whole."

"The group State Democracy Defenders Action estimated in a new report that the president's crypto holdings now represent nearly 40% of his net worth — or approximately $2.9 billion. That increase is due in part to his release of the $TRUMP and $MELANIA meme coins, in addition to a large stake in World Liberty Financial, a crypto exchange affiliated with the Trump family that launched in October 2024."

"The president's net worth is expected to get another bump, with World Liberty Financial's announcement this week that a Abu Dhabi-backed firm will invest billions of dollars in the Trump family-affiliated crypto fund. The Emirati firm, MGX, will purchase $2 billion in a stablecoin product offered by World Liberty, the company said in a statement to CBS. The currency, called "USD1" will then be used to invest in Binance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges."

"World Liberty has ties to the president and his sons. The fine print on the company's website says an entity affiliated with Mr. Trump and his family members own a 60% stake in the company."

"According to the company's public reports, a Trump family entity also holds 22.5 billion of the $WLF tokens –- and takes an additional 75% in net revenue from future token purchases."

Hmm, I seem to recall Richie had his underwear in a twist when Biden was accused of supposedly making a few million off a deal in Ukraine--small potatoes compared to what Trump and his family are up to--where's his outrage about that?

Given the above, I'm still curious as to why Richie hasn't applied to be an ICE agent. He could actually be "Agent" (or "officer" Davis! In other words, no equivocal bioengineer here but a bonafide law enforcement professional! You know Rich fits the bill! It's YOU Richie! Apply in person or go online today!

I for one am glad to notice that James Lacey criticized Tim Walz for being a pathetic person.

I hope James didn't have a heart attack when He heard Tim Walz viciously attack Donald Trump.

James are you OK?  I know that when one attacks others for being fat, you typically will faint.

Well take a breath James before you listen to that hater Tim Walz call out Trump for his "fat ankles".

That is disgusting and petty don't you think?

Turn up the volume James, although I wouldn't want you to have an aneurysm as your leftist pal body shames another person.

What's pretty disgusting Rich, is Trump's staff failing to use the proper skin tone for Trump's hand makeup:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YO6TNpWyZE

So, as you can see from the discussion, it's not only his swollen ankles it's also the bilateral bleeds into his hands that needs to be addressed. I'm thinking they'd be better off using sawdust for hand makeup and perhaps, just perhaps, they could get it from you...

Seriously?  If it was Biden the White House, CNN, AP, the NYT, WaPo, ABC, NBC, CBS, and NPR would all be providing cover for the president's mental decline... a decline surely well known to them.   Sure, Fox would be calling for the undertaker, but no one but Fox viewers would get the memo, or have any idea that Biden's mental capacity to be president had long since sailed.  Until it was far too late of course.  Directly causing (among other things) DJT to take the White House.  

In the Biden case, the result of the cover up is far worse than a smidgen of timely honesty would have been.

Jim,
I don't think that's true at all. I watched a number of discussions on CNN, for example, on Biden falling off a bicycle, tripping on a step or examples of when he may have misspoke. All of those focused on his perceived frailties in panel discussions. You don't know that because you don't watch CNN. And none of those physical or mental missteps by Biden are anywhere as egregious as the assault of our democracy by a would be dictator. That, and Trump's mental missteps, ranging from an inability to articulate words, or form coherent sentences not to mention constant pathological lying on a near daily basis, and all of which don't receive the same level of scrutiny as Biden got for far less...

I am saying that Pakman and his faux concern over Trump's health is pretty rich irony, given the left-side press's kid glove treatment of Biden under the same or worse circumstances.

Also, if there is legit reason to question Trump's mental or physical fitness for office, I expect ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, the AP, the NYT, WaPo and NPR to be all over it.  They are not providing cover for Trump as they did for Biden.  I have no idea why you think Trump is not getting scrutiny.  I think this is an indefensible position on your part. 

Trump is a pathological liar and a pathological narcissist but he was all of that before he was elected by a majority of the EC and as you guys used to care about, by a majority of the popular vote.  I have seen no credible reporting that Trump is any more mentally or physically incompetent than the day he was elected.  To the extent he is a "would be dictator," he always was.  You Ds knew that before you ran Biden and ushered Trump into the White House.

I had just typed my reply and refuted what you said when the AM verification of you are a human interdicted and my post disappeared. Sometimes I have to open the AM on two attempts before I can access--are you guys having the same issues with the AM? I find it quite annoying.

Right now, I'm going out jogging and I'm pissed at the AM so I'm not going to retype everything all over again--for now...

"I am saying that Pakman and his faux concern over Trump's health is pretty rich irony, given the left-side press's kid glove treatment of Biden under the same or worse circumstances."

Pakman is not, by any stretch of the imagination, fawning faux concern over Trump's health but, in contrast to the media, he's shining a spotlight on it. In addition, he's obviously contrasting it to the amplification of the media in their coverage of any perceived frailty exhibited by Biden at virtually any point in office.

" You Ds knew that before you ran Biden and ushered Trump into the White House."

Had Biden done what he said he was going to do in his first term, that of being a interim president who would relinquish the reins at the end of it, we would have had an actual primary system in play and the outcome may well have been very different. So, "we" Ds didn't run Biden again and, indeed his age was, afterall, a determining factor as it should have been at the conclusion of his first term. While most of us were shocked by Biden's debate performance, we all had reservations about his age and it was certainly, to say the least, a well-covered topic by the media...

And the 1.2 billion dollar tent in the Texas desert:

" When President Donald Trump’s administration last month awarded a contract worth up to $1.2 billion to build and operate what it says will become the nation’s largest immigration detention complex, it didn’t turn to a large government contractor or even a firm that specializes in private prisons."

"Instead, it handed the project on a military base to Acquisition Logistics LLC, a small business that has no listed experience running a correction facility and had never won a federal contract worth more than $16 million. The company also lacks a functioning website and lists as its address a modest home in suburban Virginia owned by a 77-year-old retired Navy flight officer."
