@designergirla What? Remarks like this raise the question of whether that McDonald's food is beginning to wreak havoc with the arteries in DJT's brain.
@stevecstny@funder Certainly not all politicians are evil, manipulative, greedy people, regardless of party affiliation. Right now, I wish John Fetterman would start a 3rd party. DJT has lost his conscience & his common sense, and I don't think Harris had much of either.
@funder Johnson needs to regain his conscience and his good sense, even if the Dems take the House. He knows there is a Higher Authority who is watching. 🙏
@skewpilot@anatoliisharii Thank you for your factual post. Maybe Sharij is looking for a position in a new pro-Russian Ukrainian govt is Ukraine were defeated.
@anatoliisharii I want to learn more about your opposition to Zelenskyy and the defense of Ukraine against Putin's vicious war machine. What else has Zelenskyy done that provokes your hatred?
BREAKING: REVOLT! Six Republican senators SLAM Trump's jaw-dropping "deal" to let Russian diesel flood the global markets despite Putin's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
This is finally a bridge too far for these right-wingers...
“The deal you struck with President Vladimir Putin on October 9th will not achieve just ends, nor will it benefit Americans,” the senators wrote to Trump, asserting that the exports "only provides Putin with more fuel to finance his war machine and enables Russia to continue its brutal attacks on Ukrainian civilians.”
"Granting Moscow the ability to sell Russian diesel freely in global markets damages American security interests and is a betrayal of the people of Ukraine, who continue to defend themselves from Putin’s murderous, illegal war. This deal is a gift to our adversary and a betrayal of our Allies; it should be rescinded."
The signatories are Democrats Richard Blumenthal, Jeanne Shaheen, Dick Durbin, Sheldon Whitehouse, Jack Reed, and Chris Coons. The Republicans are Mitch McConnell (who is admittedly in such a degraded state that we most assume his staff signed on), John Cornyn, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis, and Alan Armstrong.
“Allowing Russian-origin diesel into global markets will offer limited to no relief to Americans. It will have a negligible impact on fuel prices but the revenues the Kremlin will receive from this agreement will undoubtedly finance its desired war of attrition and advance security cooperation with China, Iran and North Korea,” they wrote.
Their assertion that this deal could ultimately end up endangering U.S. service members who are fighting in the Iran War because of Moscow’s security cooperation with Tehran is particularly galling. Trump is desperate for this diesel deal because his pointless war has dramatically destabilized oil markets. But by handing Putin this massive gift, he is undermining the very same war that caused the crisis, while at the same time handing Russia money that they can use on more bombs, bullets, and drones to kill Ukrainians. It’s one big tangled ball of incompetence, malice, and bloodshed that could be solved if Trump simply ended his war.
“For decades, America has stood as the bastion of freedom against tyranny, and American presidents have embodied our nation’s resistance to tyrants. Putin is a tyrant,” the senators added. “Withdraw from this agreement, rescind General License No. 135, and execute the authorities provided under the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026.”
“Maintain our legacy – and the duty America holds – as leader of the free world,” they concluded.
Please ❤️ and share if you oppose Trump’s sweetheart diesel deal with Putin!a
