This could be one of the biggest corruption scandals in American history! A bombshell investigation alleges Jared Kushner had access to nearly $2 BILLION in secret accounts tied to Middle Eastern governments, uncovered after Dutch intelligence hacked his phone. #USDemocracy

According to The Guardian, murderous Dictator Putin ordered his terrorist army to leave all major Ukrainian cities uninhabitable, pair it with MAGA regime facilitating the disruption of Starshield in Ukraine. Orange felon, Nazi Musk and drunkard rapist Pete Hegseth are mass murdering war criminals.

Americans keep posting about “No Kings” and get it wrong as usual. We have a king Im the UK…and he has NO POWER at all. He rubber stamps government acts. You should be having “No Dictators” days!

Sorry, what? Are we just looking at AI slop and pretending “oh, well I guess that’s reality now and that’s also by the way totally normal and cool”? Hey Jake Tapper, I’ve got an idea for the sequel to your “Joe Biden was old and Democrats knew!” page turner.

Former UK Defence Attache John Foreman tells #C4News Krishnan Guru-Murthy that we don't know whether it was Elon Musk or Pete Hegesth and Donald Trump, who restricted Ukraine's satellite access. He compares it to, "Trying to fight the Battle of Britain without radars"

Demented. Delusional. Worst president ever. Fuck you Trump.

Trump is literally posting videos about himself being God's chosen one and Messiah of planet Earth. If this doesn't wake you up, then nothing can.

⚡️ 'This cannot be a coincidence' — Ukraine's Starlink access restricted without warning, Zelensky adviser says. Ukraine relies on Starlink to operate its mid-strike drones in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

How utterly vile of Trump to post his fake video of him with a tiger when a poor young British man with mental health problems was killed after entering a tiger’s enclosure. We know he is sick, but please Americans do something…..and don’t go on about voting as that is now rigged.

As a Ukrainian, this hurts more than I can explain. We never expected the US to fight our war. But we certainly never expected its president to make deals with the aggressor country trying to erase us. Ukraine is fighting for survival. And watching this happen feels like a terrible betrayal.

It is very telling that Trump wants *Zelenskyy* to stop the war. Personally. Like, friendly reminder that Zelenskyy is not an absolute monarch, we have parliament here as well as regular people. Trump, however, acts as if it is something that should be sorted out by select few behind closed doors

PLEASE Americans stop thinking that any voting from now will be fair. Physical votes will disappear, machines will be rigged. There are no international observers and soldiers and ICE will interfere at polling stations. You must overthrow this regime now!

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

This is as treasonous as it gets

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

So traitor Trump is buying Russian diesel and putting Ukraine and the rest of Europe in extreme danger from Russia. Why are none of you stopping him? And don’t talk about voting. Why do you think he has banned international observers?

Hegseth put Elon Musk and Anduril’s Palmer Luckey in charge of a Pentagon study on what weapons the military needs. Both sell to the Pentagon. Letting contractors shape their own market is corruption, and taxpayers get stuck with the cost. 👇🏼 #USDemocracy #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over two decades The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors.

If GB News claims he's not a newsreader but just some guy expressing his opinions, bear in mind that they nominated him as Best Newsreader and he won it twice.

US folks may not realise this, but when I go to a village post office in the UK to send something to the US, I’m given the postage cost then quoted “the Trump tariff “!!

LOLOL there's no microphone because the pool is boycotting him.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

🔥🔥 BREAKING: A major fire is burning at Moscow’s Kapotnya oil refinery following reports of a Ukrainian drone strike. The facility is Moscow’s only oil refinery and has a capacity of roughly 280,000 barrels per day. Another significant hit to Russia’s already strained refining system.

Astonishing to hear people say they'd rather asylum seekers drowned than be saved by the RNLI. Next comes letting people die in burning hostels rather than be saved by the fire brigade and letting people get kicked to death in the street rather than be saved by the Police. Don't platform this hate.

Congratulations on the revolution, Americans….no wait…no one is doing anything to stop an insane president doing whatever he likes? No general strikes, no civil unrest, no mass picketing of government offices! What’s wrong with you??

So before Trump started a war with Iran, the world could use the Straits of Hormuz safely and freely. Now it looks like he has cost the world billions in trade that has been held up plus the possibility of ships paying fees to use it. Brilliantly played, orange buffoon!

hahaha, this from people usually claiming that good old mary gave a virgin birth to a white jesus to cement patriarchism and european dominance, or a south-african immigrant to america who believes in ethnic blood, so yeah, the drugs are strong with this one particular padawan.

LOL, "historically accurate." This is a story set 3,000 years ago that features Greek gods, a cyclops, a multi-headed sea monster, and a witch who turns a crew of men into pigs.
