Call me crazy, but at some point we might find out what else we “sold” to Russia.
If and when we get the truth and reconciliation process, and an American Nuremberg underway, the number of Trump lackeys who will say “I was only following orders” will rival that of the Nazis after World War II
This was not a new deal - it’s been in the works to give Russia money to wage war against Ukraine. Once again we are on the wrong side.
Olga Nesterova@onestpress.onestnetwork.com · 17h agoThe very first shipment of 300K tons of Russian diesel—carried by the tanker Minerva Zen, which left St. Petersburg on September 22—arrived on the US East Coast less than 24 hours after the deal was formally announced.
Hey Ukraine as an American I say blow that shit up. If our problem was a lack of diesel we'd stop exporting 1.5m barrels/day of it. Trump's fake deal with an imperialist dictator will not impact our diesel prices and should have no impact on your survival strategy.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 17h agoPresident Trump blamed Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky for stoking his country’s conflict with Russia and said that he should be replaced. He added that he was unhappy about Ukraine’s decision to strike Russian refineries.
Low-hanging fruit for reporters and Dem trackers: ask a Republican running for office, "what would you do if you were in a car with your child and men in hoodies charged at you with guns drawn?" Follow up with "do you think it's reasonable for a parent in that situation to use lethal force?"

This is why figures like former KKK leader David Duke (below) endorsed Trump, not Democrats. That being said; I challenge anyone to provide evidence where white nationalist groups have thrown their support behind today's Democratic Party. Bring it! (cont) www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Opposed to the death penalty, me. But if I did see capital punishment as appropriate for the worst crimes -- Eichmann in Jerusalem, or Timothy McVeigh or Dylann Roof -- the profundity of the state taking life in reply demands sobriety and a basic distaste for the undertaking. Not a public carnival.
Daily Beast: A befuddled Mike Tyson, who is being willingly used by the most racist President ever, is appearing with Trump at rallies, predicting Trump will win in 2026. A couple of woman beaters, comfortable with each other.

Whether you support capital punishment or not, Hegseth’s plan to livestream the Fort Hood killer’s execution is an obscene descent into barbarism. When did America start treating state sanctioned killing as public entertainment? The spectacle is a moral obscenity, and the appetite is even uglier.
His evil still lives. He claimed it was his idea until the nation made it clear that they oppose the idea. Backtracking won't change how we plan to vote!
Tennessee Lookout@tennesseelookout.com · yesterdayPresident Donald Trump on Friday appeared to leave open the possibility that the federal government won’t livestream a military execution planned for December that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had said would be public.

Genocides follow a predictable blueprint. It's a pattern we can learn to recognize, beginning with Othering and stochastic terrorism, and ending with atrocities that cannot be undone. It can't be undone, but once the pattern becomes clear, it can be stopped. medium.com/cultured-net...
