This only makes sense if you prioritize the interests of Putin and his survival over the interests of the United States, Europe, Ukraine, and our traditional allies. But by now it is obvious what Trump owes, a decade later www.nytimes.com/2026/10/17/u...

U.S. Floats Lifeline to Russia: Allowing More Gas Sales to Europe (Gift Article)

The Trump administration is pitching the idea as part of a peace deal with Ukraine, but Europe is wary and critics say Russia would be strengthened.

Oh and let’s keep it 💯: Every celebration from their players, staff, and fans is just pure arrogance. It’s not about the football on the pitch; it's gloating because they think they're going to successfully out-smart and out-lawyer the entire league. Total disrespect for the entire game!

Give sports media 5 minutes without 🔵⚪️⚖️ news and they’re right back to full-blown wankfesting over Sham City! All the talk of 114 charges, financial doping, and institutional cheating completely wiped from memory just to push a glossy weekend hype narrative. Absolutely fucking shameless! 🚮

Students are instead "indoctrinated" by the brute reality they see: * Rich get richer and the rest of us get nothing. * Our hard work is exploited and then we aren't supported in our health, old age, or childcare. * Structural inequality blocks many from advancement. * Climate crisis! Plain as day.

This entire line of thought remains fucking nonsense. Professors can't get students to read the syllabus, let alone do the reading, let alone indoctrinate them to revising their papers before turning them in. Indoctrination isn't on the menu.

The nazis had cool rockets in ww2 too, but it didn't make them less evil. The rockets were cool, the Nazis weren't. Same deal here. At the end of the day we wound up with the rockets and scientists after we finished shooting the Nazis.

I’m alarmed that more people aren’t alarmed by Trump targeting Somali Americans and labeling them “garbage” and “crooks” who “contribute nothing.” Most of them are U.S. citizens, yet Trump says, “I don’t want them in our country.” If you know history, you know the horror this can lead to.

Yesterday I provided my immune system with the latest enemy intel and let me tell you it is working VERY hard on those cellular combat drills right now 🫠

If the crock of shit juror ever wanted to step forward, I would love to buy them a beer/coffee/ice cream/whatever! I really believe that the grand jurors who, over multiple days refused to indict despite extraordinary pressure from prosecutors are unsung heroes of this whole mess.

Happy Crock of Shit Day! A year ago today, the federal government was hard at work committing prosecutorial misconduct to secure the wrongful indictment of myself and five others. Time flies.

Saw ANOTHER person say my indictment was the best thing to happen to my campaign. Let me be clear: It severely limited what I could say, where I could go, and what I could do. I had to worry about prison AND legal fees for myself AND my (amazing) field director. Political prosecutions aren’t fun.
