It’s time to start talking.
🇺🇦 In 1994, Ukraine gave up the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances and respect for its sovereignty and existing borders.
Thirty years later, one guarantor invaded Ukraine. The other is now pressuring it to surrender territory.
Where are the promises? Where is the adherence to written agreements?!🤷♀️
Who would believe Putin’s promises? Who would believe Trump’s security guarantees? Both men are serial liars and fantasists and have been consistently on the same side to dismember Ukraine for profit. It’s all garbage to delay necessary action by Europe and the US Congress.
When his rich father lost his job, teenage psychopath Stephen Miller had to go to public high school in Santa Monica with Black & brown people.
This made him so angry he consumed racist literature & devoted himself to impersonating Joseph Goebbels.
Racism is his religion and now he has a demented, raging, dead-end president to manipulate. He will traumatize, deport & kill as many minorities as he can over the next two years. He feels he is destined for the role of making America a white nation.
Congress must wage full scale war on this particular psychopath. He cannot have a moment’s rest. He must be put on defense with every tool available. Everything the regime must be blocked. No money should flow. There are no limits to his sadism and he must not be provided with oxygen.
Republicans made Biden’s autopen a national scandal.
Now Natalie Harp is reportedly posting under Trump’s name while he’s onstage in Kansas.
When the president’s account speaks to the world, who’s actually speaking?
She could start a war.
Think about that.
JD Vance has spent $35M on vacations. Kash Patel uses an FBI jet to go on dates. Trump had spent 130M golfing. But $6.00 snap benefits are to expensive.
Dutch intelligence released information that Donald Trump’s son-in-law. Jared Kushner, is in receipt of BILLIONS of dollars in bribes since working for the Trump administration.
Who else demands an investigation?🤚🤚🤚
When Putin seized Crimea, both Europe and America were quite openly making calls, holding meetings, and sending signals to the Ukrainians who were in power at the time that there should be no escalation – let's just keep things friendly and leave things as they are for now. And we lost Crimea. After that, we lost part of Donbas. But the shooting in the east continued. There was no peace.
People think we were always helped. That is not true. Help started coming after the full-scale invasion, but that was after eight years of Russia occupying our territory. That is a long time to figure things out and understand that Putin has no intention of giving anything back to us.
At one point, some Europeans asked me: “Why do you think that if you withdraw from Donbas, he will go further?” And I answered: “Because at the beginning of the war, he wasn't seizing Donbas. He came to the capital. He seized parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, Kherson itself, and Kharkiv region.” We have retaken a lot of territory, but he had seized different parts of our country. And now they want us to give them something because they are unable to seize it. We may have a smaller territory, less money, and fewer weapons, but we still have more dignity than many others. We will do everything we can to end this war, but it must end in a way that preserves our dignity.
From an interview with ZDF. (2/3)
Buttigieg: This isn't happening because of Covid. The gas prices aren't happening because Putin started a war. Gas prices are happening because Donald Trump started a war. Mortgage rates are over 7% because the Trump administration decided to give away $1 trillion in tax breaks to corporations and the wealthiest people in the country, blew up the deficit while doing so.
It's not even that they tried and failed to lower costs. It's that their choices have actively, directly increased costs. And as you can tell from the president's performance today, they don't care.
Reminder: He drew a gross picture of a naked little girl using his signature in her vaginal area. Then he wrote a birthday note making cryptic references to fucking children.
Then he sent it to his best friend, Jeffrey Epstein.

"Musk has spent $474 million to help Trump and the GOP win the midterms. For everyday Americans, it’s the equivalent of buying a few IMAX tickets or a DoorDash dinner for two."
This is the number 1 problem with billionaires. Not just the unfairness, the wealth inequality, the often unscrupulous ways in which many of them acquire their billions, but the fact that they are a threat to our democracy. That you can't have one person-one vote while billionaires are buying our politicians.

Trump says he could have won the Vietnam War in a week.
By bombing Ho Chi Minh City.
IDIOT. The United States was defending Ho Chi Minh city, the capitol of South Vietnam. The enemy was North Vietnam, it's capitol is Hanoi.
And by the way the United States did conduct limited bombing near Hanoi, but direct bombing of Hanoi itself would likely have drawn China or the Soviet Union into directly fighting against the United States.
My God. This stupid violent idiot is Commander in Chief of the United States.
Trump eases sanctions on Russia and begins buying Russian diesel. Days later, Musk restricts Starlink service in Ukraine, disrupting its military operations and its ability to defend itself.
And now we’re learning directly from Putin that Russia has been in contact with Musk.
How on earth did we get to this point? How is it possible that Musk can disrupt an American ally’s military operations whenever he chooses, maintain a clear line to the Kremlin, and face zero accountability to the American people or the U.S. government?
I want to know what Musk has been discussing with Russian officials, whether those conversations had anything to do with the Starlink disruptions, and what the Trump Administration knew.
Last night Trump said he could have won Vietnam in a week. His plan was “going after Ho Chi Minh City.”
Ho Chi Minh City was Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam. Our ally. The enemy’s capital was Hanoi. We bombed it.
He called the presidents who fought that war stupid, then explained how he’d have won it by attacking our own side.
58,220 Americans died in that war. Trump got five deferments. Now he’s telling the rest of us how easy it would have been.
He’s had more than fifty years to learn which side we were on. He still hasn’t. That alone should disqualify him from sending anybody else’s kids to war.
Instead, he’s weighing more strikes on Iran after Tuesday. His administration has reportedly considered using the “mother of all bombs,” the one he calls “like a tiny nuclear bomb.”
The man who thinks we should have bombed our ally’s capital gets to choose the targets.
