Jake's Conclusion That The US Government Is Worthless Is Spot-On
And I voted for the son-of-a-bitch... The only good thing he's done is to enforce the immigration laws, which Biden openly flouted, but effectively ceding Ukraine to Russia is rank stupidity...
I hope the Ukrainians blow the Russian oil infrastructure - including oil fields, pipelines, tankers, and refineries - to flaming ruins - and to hell with what the Trump Administration says. Ukraine has fully cooperated with the Trump Administration’s demands, and has been rewarded with, now, the entire cessation of US military aid. There’s nothing to be gained by making deals - or concluding treaties - with the US.
And the only reason I voted for Trump was that he would stop the importation of cheap labor - but now he’s making exceptions, like H1-B visas, which make it possible for US tech companies to discriminate against native US labor and hire foreigners on the cheap. He’s apparently making exceptions for agricultural and food-processing labor, too. And Elon Musk is dead right about what the “Big, Beautiful Bill” will do to the US economy.
At some point, voting just becomes irrelevant, when the choice is between two losers like Biden - in Xi’s pocket - and Trump, who has been beholden to Russian organized crime since the late 1980s - see below:
My Final Analysis On Trump vs Putin: Folie à Deux
Putin is psychotic and delusional, he doesn't do the internet thing, he only listens to his incompetent and crooked advisors who shamelessly feed his delusions -and have done so from the outset when they told him, that yes, of course Ukraine could be conquered in three days - which is why the tank crews had three days of food and their dress uniforms with them, for the victory parade in Kiev... Trump is stupid, greedy, and hopelessly corrupt - but he is very cunning, which is why he has allowed himself to be catfished by Putin, chasing after the illusory "business deals" kept just out of reach by Putin, just like the fake mouse on the end of a fishing line. And Trump is stupid enough to never figure out the game - and hasn't for the last 15 years. So we have two delusional and psychotic leaders playing a game with each other, and it will continue until the incompetence and corruption destroys both governments.
And this, from J. R. Nyquist:
“Donald Trump is tilting toward Russia. He is withdrawing military support from Ukraine. He has removed key Russian banks and companies from the sanctions list. Russia demands that Ukraine disarm and give over territory. Russia will not modify these demands. Today we see that nearly all military support for Ukraine is being withdrawn by President Trump. Ukraine has, in effect, protected Europe from Russian invasion for over three years. Ukrainians have shown that they will fight for their freedom, and for Europe’s freedom. By his actions, President Trump seems to prefer a Russian victory. He does not care about Ukraine or Europe. He thinks that America can live happily while dozens of nations are trampled under the Russian boot.
Trump has often expressed admiration for Russian strength and contempt for Europe’s weakness. Europe’s military establishments are weak because: (1) Europe was tricked into disarmament by the supposed collapse of communism in eastern Europe; (2) Europe has also believed that America will defend her. Now that America’s willingness to defend Europe has been called into question, the Ukrainians are Europe’s main line of defense. Can the Ukrainians hold the line against Russia with only European support?
Trump’s brain trust will say that Europe does not matter. Only Russia’s friendship counts. We must divide Russia from China, they say. This policy is suicide (as are many of the policies of Western governments today). China and Russia cannot be divided so easily. In fact, China is helping Russia to win the war in Ukraine. Why? Because China is managed by communists who want to destroy the West and its economic dominance. It is in the nature of the Chinese and Russians to make war on the West. It is in their nature to feel envious and resentful toward the West.
On 21 June 2025 the USA Today headline was, “Putin says ‘the whole of Ukraine is ours.’” This affirms what many of us have said from the beginning of the war. The invasion of Ukraine is not about Ukrainian ethnic cleansing in Donbas. The invasion is about the eradication of Ukraine and its absorption into a new Soviet empire. Even a behind-hand journal, like National Review, featured an article on 17 April 2023 by Jay Nordlinger titled, “A Nation, extensively re-Sovietized.” Over the last twenty years, says Nordlinger, Russia has been re-Sovietized. The supposed democratic changes in Russia were initiated with re-Sovietization in mind. This is evident if we examine the evidence of the last 35 years.
As early as 1994, Russian journalist and political scientist Yevgenia Albats wrote an investigative account of perestroika showing that the same group which traced its lineage to Stalin’s police state “actually engineered the policy of perestroika, subtly and effectively controling the overhaul of Soviet society in order to reposition itself at the top.” Albats’s account was published in English under the title, The State Within a State: The KGB and Its Hold on Russia, Past, Present, and Future. Add to this the work of KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn, who predicted the advent of a false liberalization under a new Soviet leader who would come after Brezhnev. Golitsyn’s book was published in 1984 under the title New Lies for Old.
President Donald Trump will never read these books, and he will never accept the testimony of dissident Soviet authors, however prophetic or useful they have turned out to be. Consequently, Trump has misread the strategic situation. He prefers friendship with Vladimir Putin to friendship with Ukraine and Europe. While the left in America is determined to commit national suicide through identity politics and open borders, Trump is determined to commit suicide by abandoning friends and befriending enemies. It is an academic question as to which form of suicide is worse.” https://jrnyquist.blog/2025/07/03/russia-prepares-for-war-across-europe-trump-helps-russia-cuts-support-for-ukraine/
And, of course, he cut funding for Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty - what is he, some sort of Communist? I’ll think long and hard before I ever give any money or support to any Republican or Democrat again, both major parties are just absolute crap… And July Fourth is tomorrow, it’s the 249th anniversary - will we make it to the 250th?
"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else." — Former President Theodore Roosevelt, editorial, published in The Kansas City Star, 7 May 1918.
