With Trump's Nuremberg rally over, we once again have to question @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social lackluster leadership when it comes to making a stand. As someone else said, we need a wartime leader, not someone willing to play nice when the country is literally being destroyed in front of them.

Let this sink in.

So @reuters.com is reporting the Ukraine and US are signing a mineral deal after all. Sounds like the Trump regime's bullying and extortion practices are paying off.

Sadly, it’s time to revive this 2017 TIME cover.

The Israeli government is resuming its warcrimes by again blocking all aid to Gaza. (Rule 55 of the Geneva Convention forbids this)

Nato President Mark Rutte tells Zelensky he has to find a way to repair the relationship with Trump. But that's like asking your child to apologize to the class bully. The only fix here is to remove Trump from the equation and for the rest of Nato and the EU to step up.

Donald Trump has betrayed America. If you couldn’t see it before, you just saw it today.

In a world of filled with JD Vances, be a Zelensky.

Says it all.

A bit disappointed in @nieuws.nos.nl who seem to be reporting that both presidents were shouting at eachother on its news app. Did they watch the same video the rest of us did? Trump and Vance were the ones out of control, and Zelensky should be praised for his self control.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.  The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.  Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

Cozying up to dictators, bashing on the US' most loyal allies, funnelling money from the poorest to the richest. The Trump regime has joined the new axis of evil.

Mother of God, Trump and Vance's behavior on that interview was hitting rock bottom. Zelensky's patience while getting disrespected, bombarded with falsehoods, and basically having to stay cool in the presence of 2 whiny wannabe dictators is impressive.

Herr Trump signing an executive order making English the official language is yet another racist dogwhistle. I mean, at least TRY to make it less obvious.

Trump should step down: A grifting orange rapist pumpkin identifying as a man is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a president

Gertz inviting war criminal Netanyahu to Germany despite there being an arrest warrant out against him by the ICC made the German election outcome even more depressing.

Minister Faber, one of Wilders' puppets in the Dutch government, spreads Russian propaganda about Zelensky, and is then forced to retract. But the damage is done, and it shows again how the Dutch flirtation of governing with this extreme-right party is leading us in a dangerous direction.

The context is that Trump is Putin’s bitch.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Dark Pence is back.

Trump spewing Russian propaganda (saying Ukraine began the war (Russia invaded Crimea and later eastern Ukraine) and that Zelensky only has a 4% popularity rate(it's 57%)) shows how incredibly easy he is to manipulate by Russia (or how much he is owned by them)

Trump's regime conducting "peace" talks with Russia without Ukraine even being present reeks of the British 1930s appeasement policy. That worked out great as well.

The Trump regime trying to keep Europe out of any negotiations with Russia, despite Ukraine's wishes, once again shows they are owned by Russia. But hey, they're also fine with threatening to invade NATO allies and ethnically cleansing the Gaza strip. They truly made America "great" again.

Here's hoping the Germans can keep the extremists out of government in the coming elections. Something the Dutch have unfortunately failed bitterly at.

With Vance's most recent propaganda speech behind us, we unfortunately once again have to congratulate Russia on winning the 2024 US elections.

If Hegseth doesn't want Ukrain in NATO I guess they will just have to join the EU At least we have good cheese.

It can come as no surprise that Geert Wilders, leader of what is laughingly called the Party of Freedom (basically the Dutch AfD), is wholeheartedly celebrating Trump's ethnic cleansing comments about Gaza. What is however surprising that the other cabinet parties are still willing to work with them

Lebensraum, ethnic cleansing, targeting minorities. Trump is going full steam through the Nazi Germany checklist.
