For the second day in a row, everyone has been laughing at this video.
Yesterday, Putin, dressed in military uniform, allegedly made a rare visit to the front line, to one of the auxiliary command posts. In reality, it was a film set inside a bunker. As we can see, they have a lot of props in that bunker:
😅 A camouflage net was hung inside the building.
😅 The flooring, lighting, and acoustics all look like those of a studio.
I wonder how many times they rehearsed it?
I’m old enough to remember when the president wasn’t supposed to be palling around with the AG—especially if he was your defense attorney who was specifically hired to protect you from allegations of child rape.
Happy independence etc.

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."
Very well stated.
#BREAKING: Psaki: “Do you remember last year when Trump announced his massive across the board tariffs…He called it liberation day, it actually led to a stock market crash. That liberation day announcement was made on April 2nd of last year, and Trump’s financial disclosures show that he made 327 stock purchases six days later, on April 8th, while the market was down…So he makes those purchases on April 8th. The next morning, just after the market opened, he told his followers on Truth social: ‘THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY.’ Hours later, he paused his tariffs and the stock market had a historic rally, so historic in fact, it represented the biggest single day gain in the history of the Bloomberg billionaires index. To put it simply, it appears an official act by Trump cratered the stock market. Trump then bought the dip and then used another official act to bring the price of the market back up. Trump of course insists that all his stock transactions are handled by his two adult sons [@EricTrump & @DonaldJTrumpJr] without his involvement or knowledge of the individual trades carried out on his behalf. When asked about the timing of these specific trades, the White House told us tonight that President Trump only acts in the best interests of the American public, saying there was no conflict of interest. The White House also directed us to the Trump Organization. We’ve reached out to them, but we haven’t heard [anything] back.”🤦♀️
JUST. FUCKING. WOW. The humility, decency, and integrity of Jack Smith came across loud and clear. This career prosecutor is an American hero. Jack Smith is the antithesis of the depravity, corruption, and moral bankruptcy of Trump, Todd Blanche, the DOJ, and Kash Patel.
Here is a synopsis of Jack Smith's first televised news interview since he criminally charged the most corrupt president in American history, Donald Trump.
Core Pillars of the Interview
ㆍ The Fragility of the Rule of Law: Smith warned that the rule of law is under an unprecedented attack, declaring it is "different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime." He explained that democratic systems do not run on autopilot and rely entirely on the good-faith commitment of people inside public institutions to uphold them.
ㆍ Consistency Over Politics: He reiterated that a healthy democracy requires investigating cases by focusing strictly on the facts and the law, applying the exact same standards regardless of political affiliation.
ㆍ Defending Career Public Servants: Smith spoke passionately about the career prosecutors, FBI agents, and support staff who are being "demonized for doing their jobs" by political figures. He expressed that he feels "terrible" about how they are being treated.
ㆍ The Call to Support Them: He emphasized the moral necessity for regular citizens to stand up for these civil servants, stating, "It's really important that we stand up for them and let them know that there are a lot of people out there who back them and who are with them."
ㆍ The Danger of Lost Trust: Smith noted that the loss of institutional trust has a dangerous "cascading effect" on the legal system, warning that when judges and the public lose faith in prosecutors, the Justice Department loses its ability to perform basic functions.
Warnings About Upcoming Elections
ㆍ Deeply Concerned for the Future: When asked directly if the country is witnessing a real-time assault on the upcoming election cycle, Smith explicitly stated, "I'm very concerned of what's going to happen in the next election, absolutely."
ㆍ Bad Actors Have Adapted: He warned that individuals who attempted to subvert the 2020 election have likely learned from past failures, adapting their strategies to be more effective next time.
ㆍ State Attorneys General Must Step Up: Smith emphasized that the federal apparatus cannot be the sole line of defense, noting that state attorneys general now have a massive responsibility to enforce the rule of law within their own state borders to protect voting integrity.
Anticipating Personal Retaliation & Indictment
ㆍ Expecting Retaliation: Wallace asked Smith point-blank if he expects to be criminally indicted by the current Trump administration.
ㆍ A Distinct Possibility: Smith acknowledged that an indictment "could happen," given the administration's vocal hostility toward him and the likely use of the Justice Department to target him directly.
ㆍ Refusing to Back Down: Despite the threat of prosecution, he declared, "I am not going to be intimidated. We did our work, pursuant to department policy... I'm not going to pretend that didn't happen because they are threatening me."
How Legal Experts & Media Analysts Reacted
ㆍ An Extraordinary and Historic Moment: Commentators and legal analysts noted that a public media tour by a former Special Counsel defending the DOJ's integrity against a sitting president is entirely unprecedented in modern political history.
ㆍ Nostalgia for Institutional Norms: Media figures reacted strongly to the broadcast, expressing a sense of nostalgia for a time when the Department of Justice operated under strict, non-partisan legal norms. Smith was praised as a rare, authoritative voice willing to publicly champion rank-and-file civil servants.
ㆍ Composure Under Extreme Pressure: Legal observers highlighted Smith’s calm, professional, and articulate demeanor during the broadcast. Analysts noted that his refusal to get defensive or angry stands as a model for how public officials should handle intense political weaponization.
Trump sued the BBC for $10 billion over a Jan 6 documentary.
Now the BBC is demanding his phone logs, calendars, and diaries—and who he talked to about the rally.
He sued to bury Jan 6. He may have dug it back up.

One way to push back against an authoritarian is to mock him.
trump is so weak and insecure he is now demanding our respect.
So I’m sending him my favorite picture below.
Feel free to retweet and send your favorite picture or video to @realDonaldTrump.
The man on the left can't even be honest about a photo.
That's not Trump at 20. He was 17 when that picture was taken at the New York Military Academy, a military school his daddy paid for so he'd look tough.
Two years later, when real war came calling, the same daddy paid his office tenant, a Queens podiatrist, to invent fake bone spurs so his son wouldn't have to go to Vietnam.
The same man who mocked POWs, "I like people who weren't captured". Trump himself couldn't remember which foot hurt. Left foot. Right foot. Both feet. Whichever foot kept him home.
That's just the beginning.
He was found liable for sexual abuse by a federal jury.
He is a convicted felon, 34 counts.
He cheated on every wife he's ever had.
He sold crypto coins from the Oval Office.
He accepted a $400M jet from Qatar.
He tripled his wealth in office while cutting food assistance for the poorest Americans.
The man on the right?
.@BarackObama. Who at 18 was just a kid in Hawaii, before going on to:
✅ Pull America out of the worst financial collapse since the Great Depression
✅ Save the auto industry and millions of American jobs
✅ Give 20 million Americans healthcare for the first time
✅ Kill Bin Laden
✅ Serve two terms with zero criminal indictments, zero sexual abuse verdicts, zero felony convictions
One of these men is one of the greatest presidents in modern American history.
The other can't even tell the truth about how old he was in a photo.
Dear @realDonaldTrump
I have no respect for you or your family. At all.
What problem am I going to have based on my constitutionally protected opinion that you are a disgusting pig?
This is Jonathan Ross. He's the ICE agent who shot and murdered Renee Good in cold blood 170 days ago. He has yet to be arrested and indicted for his crime.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson: "If we were to lose the midterms heaven forbid these Democrats y'all impeachments not even the big concern They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body and they'll go after the president's family the cabinet his donors and friends."
This is exactly WHY Democrats need to win the midterms! Thanks for selling it @MikeJohnson.
Hey @netflix any update on your plans to brainwash kids around the world with propaganda developed by Russian intelligence?
My finger is on the cancel button. I am not alone.
WOW! THE NUCLEAR MATH BOMB: Elon Musk just lost $350 billion in one week from his SpaceX IPO Ponzi. Let me put that in perspective for you:
He takes $38 billion from your tax dollars in government contracts. That's $104 million per day, $730 million per week, $3.1 billion per month, and $38 billion per year.
And what did he do with it? He built a $1.75 trillion valuation scam that just blew up and vaporized $350 billion of investor money in 7 days.
SpaceX lost $4.3 billion in Q1 2026 alone. Starlink lost $2.5 billion in Q1. xAI is burning $14 billion a year.
He became the world's first "trillionaire" on a fake valuation—then lost $350 billion in a week while still cashing $104 million of your money every single day.
That's not capitalism. That's not innovation. That's the biggest Ponzi scam in American history—and Donald Trump is his co-conspirator.
Your taxes built his rocket. His lies stole your 401k. And he's still grifting.
