Re: Ukraine Gets the ‘Deal’ Putin Wants

Playing out pretty much as I suspected. Trump echoes his words from the Helsinki Summit – “Russia says that territory is theirs and I trust them on that.”

Re: How is Trump Helping Grocery Buyers?

The egg case at my local store is empty. It’s a supply problem according to the store signage. I’ve never seen an empty case before. I know this is minor compared to what else is going on. But you can’t even pay $7.09 for a dozen if you want to (scroll with far-right trackbar for “How Is Trump Helping Grocery Buyers?” by Stephen Macaulay). You do without. I bet the president can have a three-egg omelet anytime he wants. I mean, he won’t because it isn’t a Big Mac.
