Why is Trump making so many concessions to Russia now?

Here is George Clooney’s response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."

"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.

So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.

People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?

He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!

When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.

He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"

"WOW! “BYRON GOT SCHOOLED FLORIDA:
Donald Trump is in Fort Myers today rallying for Byron Donalds, and Florida needs to ask itself one question: if your Republican candidate for governor is this strong, why does he need saving, and why is Democrat David Jolly this close?

Because this is who Byron Donalds really is when the cameras catch him without a script. What you're about to watch is a classic takedown—Jamie Raskin absolutely manhandling "the GOP Butler" in a committee room, crushing him on constitutional law while Donalds tried to defend Trump and exposed that he didn't understand either one. Watch the moment Donalds gives up: he turns his back, takes a sip of his Mountain Dew, drops his head to the table—and the only words he had left were, "Have you ever been to a Trump hotel?"

A complete disgrace. A humiliating moment for him and his family. This is the best they've got, Florida. Watch it again.

Now would be a good time to remind everyone of these Trump facts, because apparently some people still need the refresher.

Please meet the President of the United States:

Flew on Epstein’s plane at least seven times. Just friends, I guess.

Pleaded the Fifth more than 400 times in a single deposition. Nothing says “innocent” like refusing to answer a single question about your own business.

34 felony convictions. A record most people would call disqualifying. And 91 criminal charges.

Accused of sexual misconduct or assault by at least 26 women. But sure, tell me again how he’s a great guy.

6 corporate bankruptcies. The self proclaimed greatest businessman alive somehow keeps running out of money.

5 draft deferments. Funny how the toughest guy in the room never actually showed up for duty.

4 criminal indictments. Not two. Not three. Four.

2 impeachments. A club of exactly one president.

2 of his own companies convicted of criminal tax fraud. Convicted. Not accused. Convicted.

1 fake university shut down. 1 fake charity shut down.

Even his charity was a grift.

Paid 25 million dollars to settle the Trump University fraud lawsuit because scamming people who believed in you costs money eventually.

Ordered to pay 5 million dollars in the first E Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict, then hit with 83.3 million more in the second.

A jury said it twice so nobody could pretend it was a fluke.

Ordered to pay 2 million dollars for looting his own so called charity.

Stealing from a charity with his own name on it.

Found liable for business fraud and originally slapped with a penalty topping 450 million dollars, later thrown out on appeal while the fraud finding itself stuck to him anyway.

First president in modern history to increase the deficit every single year of a full term. Fiscal responsibility, apparently, was always just a talking point.

Kept the debt to GDP ratio above 100 percent for his entire first term.

Presided over the largest single day point drop in Dow Jones history at the time. So much for the guy who claimed to be a genius with money.

Set the record for the longest government shutdown in US history in his first term at 35 days, then couldn’t resist beating his own miserable record in his second term with a 43 day shutdown, followed by yet another shutdown just months later. Encore nobody asked for.

Added roughly 2.25 trillion dollars to the national debt in his first year back in office alone, pushing the debt past 39 trillion dollars.

Somebody remind me who the party of fiscal discipline is again.

Pushed through the largest defense budget increase since World War Two while the debt kept climbing anyway.

Purged more than 300,000 federal employees in his first year back.

Efficient, if your goal is chaos.

Pardoned nearly 1,600 January 6 Capitol rioters.

At least 40 of those pardoned rioters have already been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for new crimes since walking free. Shocking absolutely nobody.

His family’s crypto ventures, including a meme coin and World Liberty Financial, pulled in more than 1.4 billion dollars in disclosed earnings while he sat in the Oval Office.

Draining the swamp was apparently code for filling his own pockets.

Sent the National Guard into American cities at a cost of nearly 500 million taxpayer dollars in 2025 alone.

His own tariffs are projected to cost the average American household more than 2,500 dollars this year.

You’re paying for this. Not China. You.

No more foreign wars. Peace deal with Russia and Ukraine on Day One.

None of this is a conspiracy theory, a rumor, or something you saw in a group chat.

It is the actual, documented record, sitting in plain sight for anyone willing to look.

So the next time someone tells you to relax and give him a chance, ask them how many more indictments, judgments, and shutdown records he needs to rack up before that chance runs out.

The sordid revelations of Lindsey Graham having sex with young boys just reaffirms the public perception of the GOP being the party of child sex predators, pedophiles, and pedophile protectors.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: UNLEASH HELL! Hunter Biden tears into Vivek Ramaswamy and the entire Republican Party for being pro-pedophile in a scathing takedown.

Finally, someone is calling a spade a spade...

"It’s not just Vivek Ramaswamy choosing pedophiles over people," the former President's son wrote on X.

Ramaswamy has ignited a firestorm of criticism for running a $4 million political ad featuring Donna Arthur, the mother of his Democratic opponent Amy Acton. In it, Arthur urges voters to shun her daughter at the ballot box. The problem is that Acton has accused Arthur of siding with her stepfather, who abused her when she was a child.

"Ken Paxton’s office offered a man who had faced child-sex-abuse charges a plea deal with one day in jail and no Texas sex-offender registration. Paxton now brags the man did 60. Hoffman served less than a month," Hunter continued.

"Donors named in the Epstein files gave nearly $4.7 million to Mike Rogers (MI) and groups backing him. Then Rogers said we have to 'protect somebody who got on an airplane and rode with him.'"

"Michael Whatley (NC) appointed a convicted child sex offender to NC GOP leadership and kept him there after parents objected. Trump called Whatley 'fantastic.'"

"As Arizona Senate president, Andy Biggs helped kill a bill to replace the police force in Colorado City, where Warren Jeffs’ child-rape cult held power. Marshals had helped return an underage bride who fled. Biggs says, 'I knew what was going on.' And he did nothing when he could have."

"Mike Collins (GA) voted against forcing the Epstein files out. Roger Marshall (KS) and Cindy Hyde-Smith (MS) voted to block an amendment that would have required their release. Now Epstein survivors are on TV telling voters what those votes meant."

"And Trump and JD Vance stand behind every one of these corrupt pieces of shit," he wrote. "This is the MAGA ticket. Every single one is on the ballot in two weeks."

"MAGA: Protecting Pedophiles Over People Every Time," Hunter concluded.

We couldn't have put it better ourselves! The Republican Party is an organized crime syndicate engaged in the coverup of the widespread abuse of children by powerful, connected people. The President himself is accused of heinous abuse in the Epstein files, and we still haven't seen the full, unredacted documents. God only knows what's still lurking under those little black bars.

It really is that simple. A vote for Republicans is a vote for pedophilia.

Please ❤️ and share if you'd never support one of these monsters!

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. https://t.co/8AyV60gg1X

BREAKING: YES! A federal judge drops the HAMMER on Trump and orders him to be deposed for his $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC over alleged defamation.

This is the LAST thing in the world he wants...

U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett has ruled that Trump must be deposed by the BBC's attorneys — which, it should be noted, are some of the best-paid, most incisive, ruthless lawyers in the business — by December 11th. Given Trump's worsening dementia and pathological penchant for lying, it's safe to presume that they will tear him apart.

If Trump refuses to be deposed by the deadline, he risks forfeiting the entire lawsuit. He was originally supposed to sit for the deposition on October 16th, but his attorneys informed the BBC that he was "no longer available" because he had to tend "other matters of national importance." Translation: He was scared.

The suit in question revolves around patently absurd allegations of defamation stemming from the editing of a documentary about Trump's fascist efforts to overturn the 2020 election after he lost to Joe Biden. The case is clearly meritless, but Trump was hoping to use the powers of the presidency to harass and intimidate the BBC into agreeing to a settlement, like he has with other outlets. Thankfully, they're standing firm.

Please ❤️ and share if you stand with the BBC!

If it continues, Trump's pivot to support Putin without limits will go down in history as one of America's worst foreign policy decisions ever.

I would think people like Rubio might not want to go down in the history books as a supporter of this decision and might try to reverse it. But no sign of that yet.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: BRAVO! Volodymyr Zelenskyy is directly asked if he thinks that Trump is using him as a "scapegoat" for his failed presidency — and the Ukrainian President's response is PERFECT.

This man is truly a gift to his people...

"It's a pretty difficult midterm elections. His personal popularity is very low, diesel prices in the U.S. are very high, and the war that he started in the Middle East is not going the way he wants it. Do you think you are being treated as a scapegoat for his own problems?" a reporter asked Zelenskyy at a European Council summit in Brussels.

Take a moment to consider how you would respond were you in Zelenskyy's shoes.

Trump has been relentlessly smearing you.

He just cut a "deal" with Putin to flood the global markets with Russian diesel, pumping money into a war machine that is slaughtering innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children.

Then, the Starlink service that you use to prevent Russian drones from striking civilian targets inside your country has its service interrupted, seemingly by the White House.

Although he must have been raging inside, Zelenskyy listened carefully to the reporter's question. He then paused for over ten seconds, letting his silence stretch and fill with dramatic meaning.

He then cracked a knowing smirk and the room erupted into laughter. He paused, leaned forward, still smiling and said: "This is my answer."

"Thank you so much," the reporter said as the room continued to laugh.

This is the perfect way to thread the needle. Zelenskyy managed to agree with the assessment that Trump is scapegoating him for his problems without having to say it out loud. He's not afraid to embarrass this disgrace of a President, but at the same time his ultimate responsibility is to the wellbeing of the Ukrainian people. He doesn't want to alienate Trump so badly that there's no hope for a reconciliation and a full resumption of American military support.

This is how it's done.

Please ❤️ and share if you think that Zelenskyy is a hero!
