WWPD, what would Putin do?

He'd stick to the tried-and-true playbook if he could...

Send thugs to bang on his door at 3AM. Frog walk him into the back of a Black Maria with a sack over his head, and take him on a joy ride ending on the wrong side of the gates to the Lubyanka. Keep him awake for a couple of weeks straight while subjecting him to constant interrogation, until he signs a confession to trumped-up charges (bonus points if he can be forced to implicate some acquaintance-subversives.) Then it's off to the frozen gulag for a double-nickel of starvation and hard labor.

Ah, The Good Old Days

Mel Carnahan, Paul Wellstone and JFK Jr.

It's not quite as fatal when you fall out the window.

Damn, I shouldn't have warned him.

Trump admin horrifies with training on suicidal callers: 'That's not the thing you say'

By Matthew Chapman
Published February 13, 2026 8:13 PM ET

Mental health experts are aghast at the training Social Security Administration workers are receiving from the Trump administration on how to handle suicidal callers.

According to Government Executive, "SSA recently began shifting new swaths of its workforce to phone answering duty, including those who normally receive and process retirement and disability claims, manage the agency’s technology and work in the agency's finances unit. Those employees received brief, three-hour training before they began answering calls. As part of that training, they were warned some callers may express suicidal ideation and presented with examples using a theoretical employee named Fiona."

In a video obtained from the training, an animated instructor tells the employees, “It's important for Fiona to keep the caller engaged and to remind her that suicide is only one option, and that there is no urgency to make any decisions.”

It sounds preemptive, like 'if anything were to happen to me..........'
Smart move actually.

Preemptive.

And can he fly? This does seem logical for Massie to say since trump is getting his play book from putin.

This makes me sick.

Massive specifically referring to

cause of death, disagreeing with dear leader.

Accidents happen don't ya know.

what a fucked up administration....last year when I was traveling around the world, people would come up to me and what the hell is wrong with the US. I made sure they knew I didn't vote for the orange child rapist!

BTW, Virginia Giuffre said much the same.

Hmmm...

Good on you for setting the record straight in your travels.

I am heartbroken that this is where we are now.

Gravity

rare to see a US Rep be able to plan ahead and take action before something happens.
