Trump opened a hotline to report people who defraud the government. Meanwhile, he's pardoned 70+ fraudsters — including a nursing home owner who stole $1.3B+ from Medicare and Medicaid. Many pardons only came after their family members gave to Trump's Super PAC. Hello?

Flattering Putin has been this administration's strategy for two years now. Peace is always "one more meeting away" but it never comes. I hope I’m wrong. But as long as we’re calling Putin a humanitarian, I don’t have high hopes. Thanks, Steve Witkoff…Full story up on today's show, link in comments

Regarding the whole issue of who ordered the slowdown of Starlink in Ukraine: Fuck em both - Trump & Musk. Fuck em both. The bottom line is that both Elon Musk and Donald Trump are actively helping Putin kill Ukrainian civilians. Both Musk and Trump have blood on their hands. Fuck em both.

When people tell me they “don’t do politics,” I get it. It’s not pretty and it can be totally exhausting. But here’s the thing: billionaires and giant corporations are certainly doing politics — and they’re going to keep doing it regardless of how you feel.

This is good fighting against evil and all Americans, from the president down, should be cheering Ukraine on. Instead, Trump is helping Russia conquer them. Spreading dictatorships is anti-American, and Trump is a traitor to American values and human decency. www.cnn.com/2026/10/18/e...

Ukraine defies Trump and launches one of its biggest drone attacks on Russia this year | CNN

Ukraine launched one of its biggest drone attacks this year on Russia overnight on Saturday, hitting a key oil terminal in defiance of US President Donald Trump’s demand it stop hitting Russian energy...

Once again, lying to protect and defend Vladimir Putin and the country that is attacking us, as well as Ukraine. If we can't arrest and convict this man I at least want every single ugly detail exposed and permanently entered into the historical records. He should not be allowed to bury the truth.

Trump: "My decision on Russia is simple... Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help Iran, compared to what they could be doing ... Zelenskyy is using refineries as a target, knowing attacks are seriously hurting ... He could have made better deal 2 years ago. His country is in shambles ..."

My decision on Russia is a very simple one. I am in the process of negotiating Peace in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and don’t want to do anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table. Great progress is being made, and that includes current hostage negotiations! Signing that document at this time will do that, and I can sign it later, or any time that I want! Perhaps more importantly, Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help the Islamic Republic of Iran, compared to what they could be doing, and I want to keep it that way, and will, unless stupid people get in the way. Lastly, Zelenskyy is using Diesel Refineries in Russia as a target, knowing that these attacks are seriously hurting the world diesel markets, including those in the United States. Farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all kinds are suffering greatly from this, but Russia is, nevertheless, sending, at a low price, millions of barrels of diesel to the World. Zelenskyy doesn’t care, and frankly, with all of the money that Europe is famously giving him, and that Crooked Joe Biden gave him in the past, he doesn’t want to end this war, and probably never did. He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now. His country is in shambles, a large portion of his land is lost, his oceans and seas are gone, and his male population is low, wounded, and/or dead. I WANT THIS WAR END! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Key lies in Trump's stmt: 1) diesel is up due to Iran's blockage of the Straight of Hormuz, which resulted from his vanity war with Iran (#EpsteinFury); 2) Russia is providing intel on US bases in the Middle East to Iran so it can kill US soldiers there. Trump doesn't care about these deaths ...

In Kharkiv today, murderhappy Russians struck a medical facility, injuring 5 people. ​Trump wants us to stop striking russian oil refineries and let them keep destroying our homes, hospitals, schools, and kindergartens with impunity. He blames us for fighting back against pure terrorism.
