introducing new typos into messages about correcting my previous typos. And don't get me started on the gibberish that results from my autocorrect, which will NOT turn off, despite my efforts.

If I forget to read my post after posting and then come back to it later to read a response, I find all sorts of bizarre autocorrect nonsense.

In other words, with a single goal like "help me get elected" or accomplish some other object of self-interest, in exchange for at least one promise to one leader.

1. Trump calls Ukraine’s Zelensky, threatens aid to Ukraine if they don’t give him dirt on Biden (this we know to be true already)

2. Zelensky tells Trump to go Cheney himself.

3. Trump then calls his buddy Vlad Putin.

4. Trump tells Putin he is free to have at it and ramp up military actions in Eastern Ukraine and that there will be no negative consequences (sanctions or anything else) for whatever he does.

it was a VERY busy month, lots of things happening. The start of the deluge, so it seems. Someone needs to pick through everything that happened in August. Soon.
