Lately I've been thinking that perhaps we try to read too much into Trump's love of Putin and hatred of Zelenskyy. It's simple if you think about Trump's psychology. Trump loves people who love Trump and hates people who don't. In 2026 Trump was informed that Putin wanted him to win and was (cont)

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

He got it not long after his daughter gave Ms. Habba, a lawyer close to President Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

What Sikorski says is true and most Americans don't believe it because they're received a steady drip feed of rubbish about Ukraine for years from US corporate media. bsky.app/profile/noth...

Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social

Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

For Trump an insurrection was just a warm up. Then he got wars going and now trying to incite a civil war. This Just In: Republicans Say Nothing

Trump is telling Americans that Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil facilities is the reason diesel prices are high. THAT IS A LIE. Ukraine's attacks had no perceptible impact on diesel prices; Trump's Iran war is the cause of the spike. Here's the data, straight from the Trump Administration itself.

According to the fake president, Iran should blow up Los Angeles and San Diego. And Ukraine needs a new president. The insanity of an insane president for all the world to see.

How nice for them. Next question: which act of Congress authorized this expenditure of federal funds? Quaint it may be, but our constitution forbids drawing funds from the treasury except pursuant to acts of congress.

Relative got a $500 check from US Treasury and a shocking letter full of lies signed by Trump and ending with "May God bless you". Basically a pre-electoral bribe. News reports say they're sending almost a million of these. Full text in alt below. (I told him to cash it quick before it bounces.)

I admit it. This made my jaw drop. This total piece of shit has the audacity to try to mansplain what happens in a woman’s mind. To a woman. In an interview. That will be seen by everyone. I’m taking a break now to indulge in at least 5 full minutes of revenge fantasies.

Tim Snyder on Trump's fixation with Putin: If you believe in countries, the United States is a much more powerful country than Russia. But if you just believe that it’s gangster on gangster, well then sure, Putin is a much better gangster than Trump.
