    What Trump says since it isn’t in the article and you have to click through. Honestly, based on what Pelosi said, I thought it would have been worse. It’s not good, but I thought this was going to be on the ‘dictator for one day’ level. It’s not. It’s just typical Trump whining.

    “The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our Country,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It is a slow, steady progression, with CROOKED, Radical Left Politicians, Prosecutors, and Judges leading us down a path to destruction. Open Borders, Rigged Elections, and Grossly Unfair Courtroom Decisions are DESTROYING AMERICA. WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE, A FAILING NATION!”

    Pelosi is right to say that.

    Not absolutely sure that he is a human being. Narcissists and psychopaths have been variously described as monsters.

      The only monsters that actually exist are humans. Everything else we made up as allegories for bad human behavior.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Navalny died Friday in a Russian penal colony, the country’s government announced, in what has been widely denounced as a likely political assassination.

    “You wonder, what does Putin have on Donald Trump that he always has to be beholden to him, his buddy in vileness?” Pelosi said in an MSNBC “Inside with Jen Psaki” interview on Monday.

    President Biden first commented on Navalny’s death after the news broke Friday, quickly pinning it on Putin and using the opportunity to call for military aid for Ukraine.

    “We have to provide the funding so Ukraine can keep defending itself against Putin’s vicious onslaughts and war crimes,” he continued, adding that he is “contemplating” whether further sanctions on Russia are possible.

    Ukraine aid is stuck in the House, after a bipartisan coalition of Senators passed a foreign spending bill earlier this month.

    Pelosi also went after the House GOP leadership for delaying Ukraine aid, calling it a “disgrace” that the U.S. is yet to fund additional support against Russian invasion.


    The original article contains 457 words, the summary contains 167 words. Saved 63%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
