Quotes from Candidate Donald about ending the Russian war:
“If I’m president I’ll have that war settled in one day, 24 hours”
“I would tell Putin ‘you gotta settle’ I would tell Zalinskyy ‘you gotta settle.’ I would get a settlement in 24 hours.”
“No longer than one day.”
“I can get it ended as president elect.”
“I will get it settled before I even become president.”
This was part of Jordan Klepper’s ten minute piece on Donald’s lies about Ukraine, his failure at “negotiating” for the return of a US teacher (more on that below), his “negotiations” with Putin upcoming for Ukraine (also more below), Hegseth, and the Kennedy Center chaos. It’s worth the ten minute watch on YouTube here. The next two paragraphs below give more information and citations about Russia and Ukraine.
After Donald’s bragging about what a great negotiator he is and criticizing Biden’s trades of citizens for Russians, Trump trades a teacher for Russian cybercrime kingpin Alexander Vinnik who was supposed to get 20 years in prison. He fits right in to Donald’s administration, maybe he’ll be appointed to a cabinet position. Article here.
From a couple of days ago. Donald throws Ukraine under the bus and shows what a great negotiator he is by giving Putin what he wants before the negotiations begin (US not supporting Ukraine joining NATO and not supporting Ukraine getting back the territory Russia stole). Article here.
Scary!
One of today’s many posts from Supreme Leader. I’m looking forward to Nuremberg Trials 2.0 for he and Elon and the rest of the misfits.
Baby mama #241 (a frequent Fox news guest) announces she’s had Elon’s 13th child (that we know of anyway)
More fallout from the firing of the 350 people in charge of our nuclear weapons, who also keep track of nuclear material around the world. "Some of the fired employees included NNSA staff who are on the ground at facilities where nuclear weapons are built. These staff oversee the contractors who build nuclear weapons, and they inspect these weapons. It also included employees at NNSA headquarters who write requirements and guidelines for contractors who build nuclear weapons. A source told CNN they believe these individuals were fired because “no one has taken anytime to understand what we do and the importance of our work to the nation’s national security.”
This is what happens when you hire unqualified sycophants in serious positions. They have no clue what they are doing and didn't know Department of Energy deals with nukes. Source here.

A couple of days ago Elon said this judge was evil and must be fired, today he says LFG (let’s f*ing go) when just SEEMS to rule in his favor with DOGE. However, check Ryan’s post below.
VP JD Vance was in Munich giving a speech. Steven Beschloss has a great summary of how awful it was and how articulately German leaders pushed back. He said of Vance’s speech, “It was an appalling display of hostility, hypocrisy, arrogance and ignorance.” Steve’s summary here.
And check the community note! HAHAHA
Good point, Tristan!
LOLOLOL. Remember when Donald said we needed to “rake the forests” to suppress forest fires? Now he’s got a spending freeze and “We can’t even buy rakes if we wanted to rake the forest.”
