he always had issues. i helped him as much as anybody. then when i had to cut off my family nobody sided with me including his parents. i could have saved him.

Hostage takers who then release their victims are the true humanitarians.

Q: Witkoff described President Putin as a humanitarian. Would you describe him in that same way? TRUMP: I guess you could say for the purpose of allowing a man who was thinking he was gonna be in prison for life out

literally stealing people’s money. these mother fuckers. every fucking one of them should burn in hell.

“lord. i pray for my clock. i pray for everybody’s clock! watches too. that the tellers of time may find a way to cleanse their spirits of this moment in history, dear lord. allow those clocks and watches and all things that measure time to find a way to heal themselves from this awful time.”

JD Vance: "What could I possibly say about Jon Husted that Donald J Trump has not already said? Don't worry, I'm not gonna talk about Jon Husted's ass."

JD Vance says he doesn't care if the candidate he supports is exploiting a family tragedy in which a 12-year-old girl was raped.

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

“what if for example he had assaulted and abused a couch? would that uhhh anonymously sourced article require uhhh facts that need to come out and like is there anything actually wrong with abusing and assaulting a couch uhhh i mean a woman?” — JD Vance i hate these ppl so much.

JD Vance reacts to Vivek Ramaswamy's ad using Amy Acton's abusive and estranged mother: 'Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not my concern... I have to admit that I'm a little bit disgusted when I see Republicans across the country who are whining about that advertisement'

Reporter confronts JD Vance: "What would you say to criticism that you are cracking down on fraud but there have been other members of the administration criticized for pay-to-play, like Kimberly Guilfoyle or Alina Habba?"

they excused a cop shooting into a Black woman’s car, killing her young child, over an allegedly stolen package of diapers that the Black woman had actually paid for. same ppl who force women to come to full term even if she was raped or the fetus is not healthy bc “pro-life”. think about that.

Of course, the hilarity here is that by attempting to squelch the grand jury report & keep it secret, Uthmeier & Co. have turned it into a MUCH bigger story, and one that isn't likely to end anytime before the election. Oopsie!

can somebody do a parody of this Matthew McConaughey bullshit in that Lincoln commercial style he used to do? i will help fund that. fuck McConaughey.

Author Myron J. Clifton@deardean22.bsky.social

Matthew mcconaughey can stop pretending he’s “independent”

this is actually brilliant from Zelenskyy. he knows putin won’t accept such a construct. and thus can IMMEDIATELY blame russia for further aggression. all the while being able to continue to take back Crimea et al. this lays the blame for further hostility squarely a putin’s feet.

Anton Gerashchenko@antongerashchenko.bsky.social

[Q]: Would you accept a peace deal that freezes everything the way it is right now, where you still keep 75% or more of your country? [President Zelenskyy]: Yes, right now we have to freeze and I think this is a real way to end this war.

In August, Trump announced the “BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!” But is it? The text of the accord — which grants the U.S. sweeping access to Venezuela’s oil reserves — has been one of DC’s most sought-after secrets. ProPublica got to see a copy. 🧵

these ppl are utterly despicable.

Steve Witkoff to Putin: You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that, I commend you, and I thank you again.

lolz from which port?

The first tanker carrying 40,000 tons of Russian diesel will leave for the United States tomorrow - Russia's deputy PM Novak. The United States consumes approximately 390,000 to 397,000 metric tons of diesel per day.

so ppl have to die first before you defend your country from Russia? cool cool cool.

🇩🇪 WSJ: Aides to Chancellor Merz said Germany would have considered invoking NATO’s Article 5 collective-defense clause if the Russian drone attack on Leipzig airport in August had caused mass casualties. Such a move could have significantly escalated tensions between NATO and Russia.

please stop saying the BBC, as a publicly owned company, cannot settle lawsuits. it’s just not true. should it here? no. not imo. but it *can* if it chooses (with proper governance and oversight of course).

BREAKING The BBC subpoenaed Jack Smith for a deposition to defend itself against Trump's defamation lawsuit. Smith didn't object to the subpoena. Team Trump opposes. buff.ly/cf6GaG2

Marianna Krasiuk is among those killed by a Russian drone strike yesterday in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region. Her little daughter, Myroslava, is now in the hospital fighting for her life.

Olga Nesterova@onestpress.onestnetwork.com

Won’t post the videos. But know that due to starlink hiccups, Russians are hunting people in cars, executing them with jet drones in Kyiv.

i wish some folks had more caution and stopped predicting outcomes they can’t possibly know in advance. just do the work and let it play out. don’t assume anything. chickens do NOT need counting before they are hatched.

Dr. Amy Acton's campaign is out with a statement:

Baby Anhelina and her mom Inna were killed by Russia yesterday. Anhelina was just over a year old. Her mom, Inna Mariukhna, was a primary school teacher. They were in the park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, when a Russian drone attacked. Little Anhelina was killed in her stroller.

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

just no words. we have everything so backwards. so so backwards.

Trump rants like a lunatic at a women's health event: "That stone is so beautiful ... see the cushions? Those beautiful yellow cushions? Don't they feel nice? I have them specially made ... you have the new heliport and ballroom."

fire EVERYBODY involved in this decision. they knew this could kill him and they let him play. completely irresponsible. #FlyEaglesFly

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs. Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played the game without having slept. Crazy.

Netanyahu is a genocidal war criminal who belongs in the Hague, but Jews were not considered ethnic Poles based on the Polish government, and Polish Jewish last names were forced on families against their will. This kind of conspiratorial rhetoric about Jews faking their identity is gross.
