Ben Meiselas: And here's a compilation of Trump saying many times that if any country bought oil from Russia, he would go after them...

It's the second day of total collapse at Moscow airports due to Ukrainian drones. Hundreds of flights are delayed and some have been canceled. Everything is going according to plan 🛩🚫
At this point, there is no ambiguity about what just happened: Trump has stabbed the Ukrainian nation in the back in exchange for a shipment of diesel that would be a roughly 17 hour supply for the US market. It shows how easily Trump is manipulated by Putin, Xi and other dangerous dictators.
Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.
How long until they cave and put money in his pocket? Or at least hold a black tie dinner in his honor?
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 6h agoBREAKING NYT: The Trump Justice Department is investigating whether the major television networks — ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox — violated federal antitrust laws when the group briefly suspended their pooled coverage of Trump, according to six people with knowledge of the department's action.
Trump is a coward. Zelensky is a warrior. Trump is a pathological liar. Zelensky is a truth teller. Trump is a scoundrel. Zelensky is a hero. Trump kisses Putin’s ass. Zelensky is kicking Putin’s ass. Trump is a traitor to the free world. Zelensky is defending the free world.
🇬🇧 Boris Johnson condemns the US decision to ease sanctions on Russian fuel, calling it “disgusting” and accusing Washington of making American drivers finance Putin’s war.
Trump just handed Putin a lifeline weeks before the midterms. Energy analysts say his Russian diesel deal won’t meaningfully lower prices. And a tanker that left Russia weeks before the announcement raises an even bigger question: How long was this in the works?
Trump Reopens U.S. Market to Putin’s Diesel — Consumers Get Little Relief
Days after the White House invoked an emergency to ease diesel costs, Trump promised Russia new fuel sales as analysts warned the arrangement is unlikely to move prices.

Trump: "Zelensky could have settled this war many, many times, but he chooses not to." Sick liar! This rant is full-on Russian propaganda straight from the mouth of the US president. There is no deal on the table that Ukraine could have accepted.
Asked if he approved of the public execution,Trump said, “Absolutely.” After all, he’s been imagining executions since at least 1989 when he bought a full-page newspaper ad demanding that the Central Park Five be put to death. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 15h agoWhite House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia nods along on Fox & Friends as Rachel Campos-Duffy blasts that "ingrate Zelenskyy who keeps blowing up refineries and making things more complicated for the president ahead of the midterms"
Angry, but not desperate. Drinking fruit tea and looking forward to more Russian oil refineries burning. Haters better sit down. Not today, losers. To our friends: it's a good time to double down on your support for Ukraine, even if it mainly consists of countering Russian propaganda online.
I’m feeling sick! Today, our supposed allies decided to give the mad goblin in the Kremlin more money to keep killing us, and blamed us for it in the process! We made them buy russian oil, you see? By defending ourselves. Freaking circus. Donate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine
MAGA, I ask again: Do you ever get tired of defending this petulant, whiny beta male?

Even so, I keep the faith in our Armed Forces and our people. We will survive. We must.
Thank you all for your support. This situation is heartbreaking for Ukrainians because every cent russia makes on diesel funds this war. Over here, that money isn't just an abstract concept, it causes devastating damage: more destroyed towns, a harder winter, and very real loss of life.
ZELENSKYY: At this very moment, when we are talking about peace, America gives Russia the opportunity to export diesel — that's millions, billions. It all goes toward the war against people, against Ukraine, against all of us.
The administration keeps telling us that ICE is in our cities to make us all feel safe, but if they're goons in plainclothes bum rushing vehicles with guns and pounding on the windows, how exactly does that make anyone feel safe?
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · yesterdayThe NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.
