#2 His thyroid is fine. It's just migrated to behind his eyes. Hence the pencil neck.

#4 they sounded incoherent in decrying a brief hold on military assistance to Ukraine by a president who in fact has armed Ukrainians in a way his predecessor never dared.

This. Whatever one thinks of OrangeMan or his foreign policy, the hard indisputable fact is that, in practice, Trump's is the most anti-Russian and confrontational US administration we have seen since 1983. Or maybe ever.

The madness, the sheer barking lunacy, of the the Trump's-a-Russky-puppet meme, is obvious when you consider any of literally dozens of facts that are hidden in plain view. Trump has confronted, challenged and escalated Russia on every front.

Trump pulled us out of the INF Treaty.

Trump reversed Obama's Russia policy on missile sales and signed two massive sales of our most advanced weaponry, the Patriot anti-missile systems, to Russia's neighbors. Putin is furious about this.

Trump reversed Obama's Ukraine policy and will ship Javelin antitank missiles to the Ukrainians so as to destroy Russian tanks. The Russians are enraged.

Trump closed two Russian consulates, sanctioned dozens more Russian oligarchs and government officials, and expanded the Magnitsky List.

Trump officially called out Russia for the devastating ForPetya computer virus.

Under Trump, and for the first time in history, American troops have directly engaged Russian soldiers (not uniformed but under the Russian command structure) on the ground, in battle.

Trump has dramatically raised military spending aimed at countering Russia and has loudly, publicly urged NATO allies to do the same.

Perhaps, to our media morons, these seem bewildering in light of Trump's foolish tweets, but these are hard, undeniable FACTS.

In reality, this is the most aggressively anti-Russian presidential administration since Reagan's.

Reagan, too, was called a dumb entertainer, a warmongering racist, a fascist by his critics. It was Reagan whose pressure brought the Cold War to a peaceful conclusion (near-peaceful: Gorbachev slaughtered 14 Lithuanian protestors).

Reagan slashed our nuclear arsenal.

Here's hoping after next November Trump will now pivot and de-escalate. No war with Russia.

Gotta love it! I suspect it is fotoshopped, but one never really knows.
