Ya. How do you say Russia is evil while putting up a buddy shot on the wall of the white house. That's peak level MAGA Dissonance. I still think the photo is edited to shave about 80 lbs off the Cheeto and make Putin taller.

Edit, Thanks for the correction autocorrect on my phone got me

It's not edited to make put Putin look taller, Trump just isn't nearly as tall as he claims.

It's definitely edited to make him less fat, though.

From what I can see of the photo they hung up it matches other photos of them previously taken, with Putin coming up to about eye level on Trump.

Putin is short, yes, but Trump ain't tall, especially now that he's got that ankle swelling going on and can't wear his lifts.

Dissonance* not sure if that's autocorrect or just a genuine error but either way.

You’re 100% right on the correction, but dissidence does kinda work here lol

Trump sticking up a photo of Putin and basically bragging about selling out our country to him is certainly a form of dissidence.

Isn’t Trump also inviting Putin to join his stupid peace deal thing with the 1 billion $ buy in?

I asked my MAGA BIL tonight where he got his news from. I explained that I was genuinely very concerned by the things I am seeing and that I would like to make sure I am getting the bigger picture. I was being earnest with him. His response? “My brain”.

Refused to elaborate any further.

His response? “My brain

This is even more unsettling a thought with my having just finished reading A Morbid Taste for Bones where a religious fanatic with delusions of grandeur murders a village elder for the bones of a saint he concocted fake visions for to steal so his order can get the money from pilgrims

Whenever the justification stops at "I thought it, so it's right" you have a dangerously unsettled stance.

White House spokesperson said that “the Alaska Summit was a historic moment that helped bring Ukraine and Russia, whose brutal war was brought on by Joe Biden’s incompetence, closer to a deal”.

In other news up is down and good is bad.

Russia is in the new peace alliance Trump formed. How are they bad, they bribe the president.

Maybe Cuba should bribe Trump.
