The Trump regime behaves in the way you would expect of opportunists and reprobates nourished on a failed culture. They are literally a cancer on the body politic and excision will be their sole redemption.

NATO should just ignore Trump and others of his regime, saving themselves to work with Ukraine separately. Trump of course lies out of both sides of his mouth, so that he can take the credit when either side prevails. God, I can’t wait until this **** leaves this earth!

This whole thing is truly heartbreaking on so many levels! And the fact that we are not standing with Zelenskyy is horrible and disgusting. Apparently "they" don't seem to know that if Russia takes Ukraine, next the will aim for the rest of the original "member" countries that were part of the original USSR. Poland being close and many others that surround Ukraine. They should not let that happen because one never knows where the leader of Russia will go next!

J.V. Vance and Trump are acting as Putin's proxies as they maneuver to replace Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky with a Putin puppet like Ukraine's corrupt ex-President Viktor Yanukovych. We desperately need to win back the House in 2026 so there can be oversight against these Russian assets.

Trump has always been pro-Putin and has an administration full Russian assets.

The assassination on Saturday of Andrii Parubii is another ominous development. Parubii was a prominent anti-Russian nationalist with a long political career, including speakership of the Ukrainian parliament, where he still served. During the 2014 Revolution of Dignity, he led the resistance fighters on the Maidan as they battled the Yanukovych government's forces.

The Russians waited for years, until now to move against Parubii. Clearly, they want to eliminate anti-Russian politicians who could be serious contenders for the presidency.

Trump and the people around him are not only traitors to the US, but also to our allies. They should suffer the appropriate penalties.

Cheeto’s Slight of Hand Trick: Passing Extra Taxes Onto States and Americans

The Orange Cheeto and his Nazi allies in the Executive Branch are freezing federal funds to local, state, and federal agencies on the pretense of cost cutting That is now becoming obviously ludicrous that it’s about making government frugal and streamlined The Nazi party has long contended there is government waste, fraud and abuse but the cutting of civil service jobs is to facilitate privatization of government services which in effect gives his cronies opportunities to grift on Americans

Passing taxes onto states? Case in point…Cheeto cuts funding for the Revolution Wind Project begun off shore by Connecticut and Rhode Island that created 1000+ jobs and was to make Rhode Island 100% renewable energy by 2033 The most reckless of the Cheeto decision was that that funding was cut when the project was 80% completed

Or was it reckless? Or was it just Cheeto passing the federal support onto the consumers of Connecticut and Rhode Island? Just another tax that Cheeto has passed onto the states First it was tariffs adding to an already inflated economy due to the loss of the purchasing power of the dollar Then government programs like FEMA get cut so that Go Fund Me pages cover the expenses of natural disasters supported by the American people Then states will have to pick up the medical expenses in every state where people lose health care coverage and try to keep rural hospitals open Then the taxpayers of Connecticut and Rhode Island have to pick up the last 20% to complete the project

Cheeto is on the way to illegally cut passed federal subsidies to the states so he can claim that he is cutting waste fraud and abuse while he passes tax cuts for the ultrawealthy VOTE these Nazi bums out of office and start taxing the shit out of billionaires
