After Trump lost the November 4 elections massively, he turns to his friend Putin's old trick: War!
The question is only which country he will attack: Venezuela, Nigeria, Panama, Canada or Denmark?
How can such a madman be US president?
The Congress should disarm Trump!

Kerry Kennedy on her brother, RFK Jr:
"I am disgusted by my brother’s obscene embrace of Donald Trump. And I completely disavow and dissociate myself from Robert Kennedy Jr. and his flagrant efforts to desecrate my father's memory." (August 2024) @Acyn

Trump: $2000 for every American.
*2 hr later*
Trump's treasury secretary: Syke!
Bessent: The $2,000 dividend could come in in lots of forms. It could be just the tax decreases that we are seeing in the President's agenda— no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security, deductibility of older loans— those are substantial deductions.
LOL! You're not getting those checks

Trump every time he’s confronted about one of his lies: “Who are you with?”
Reporter: Gives name of company.
Trump: You’re fake news. You’re terrible. I’m not calling on you anymore! You should be ashamed of yourself! This is why nobody watches you!
Then goes back to lying.

Every news show in America, including Fox News, is calling out Trump's bald-faced lies about the economy. Grocery prices are skyrocketing under the serial lying sociopath and the morally bankrupt conman just keeps gaslighting the American people. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

For the entire 4 years of Biden’s Presidency,
This asshole referred to him as “Sleepy Joe”.
Yet he’s so fucking far gone,
He’s falling asleep daily during briefs and live TV events.
Useless grifting fuck.

"Russians are disgusting; they treat people cruelly and beat them up. They are very bad, and they treat foreigners badly, like slaves."
Ukrainian soldiers of the 125th Heavy Mechanized Brigade captured an Iraqi citizen in the Kupiansk area, a 30-year-old Alaa Mohammed Thajil (Al-Jubair village, Al-Shatrah District, Dhi Qar Governorate).
According to him, he came to Russia on a tourist visa, but he and his friends were detained and forced to sign a contract; otherwise, they would have been imprisoned or killed. They were promised that they would not fight, but they were deceived.
As soon as he arrived in Kupiansk, he immediately fled and surrendered to Ukrainian soldiers. Alaa also shared that Russians treat foreigners disgustingly, and they are often subjected to abuse and beatings.
‼️ This is important.
Russia and its propaganda machine targeting the Global South seek to build a cheap and inexhaustible reserve of expendable soldiers.
Many impoverished people, poisoned and deceived by Kremlin propaganda and anti-Western rhetoric, head to the war in Ukraine in hopes of earning money. Russian "tourism" companies have essentially become recruitment agencies for war - and, in most cases, it’s a one-way ticket.
Contract military service in the Russian army is becoming increasingly popular among Iraqi citizens. The conditions offered by the Russian military seem attractive - Iraqis are promised salaries of up to $2,800 per month, which is about four times higher than the average income in Iraq, as well as a one-time payment of up to $20,000 for signing a contract.
Offers being circulated on platforms like TikTok and Telegram include substantial monetary compensation, a sign-up fee, insurance, pension options, and even Russian citizenship.
Moreover, recruitment is often framed as a "job opportunity" rather than an explicit war contract: some recruits are told they’ll serve in support roles (drivers, cooks, logistics) but end up in combat on the front line with little support.
Families of recruits often lose contact with them; many recruits are reported missing, injured, killed or returned in body bags.
Some vivid cases:
▪️ The last TikTok post of a young Iraqi man, Mohammed Imad, 24, showed him in military gear beside a Russian flag. He asked viewers to "pray for me" - and has not been heard from since. Shortly before that he had travelled to Russia without his family’s knowledge, enlisting to fight for Russia’s armed forces.
▪️ Alawi Motlak, 30, travelled to Russia with Mohammed in April. Both of them went missing in May. Before he disappeared, Alawi sent his family pictures of himself sitting in a bunker with Mohammed in military fatigues, or training together near Bakhmut, eastern Ukraine. In one video, Alawi thanked Abbas al-Manasir for helping them get to Russia.
▪️ Abbas Hamdallah, known on social media as "Abbas al-Manasir," is among many Iraqis who share their experiences in the Russian army on TikTok and Telegram and offer help to those who want to enlist. He joined the Russian army in 2024 and now has a Russian passport.
Al-Manasir was recruited into the Russian army after scanning a QR-code ad in Moscow that promised high pay and quick enlistment. Along with several friends, he signed a contract, went through a month of military and language training, and was then sent to fight in Bakhmut. Alongside Iraqis, there were many Egyptians and Algerians.
Abbas later shared videos warning others that joining the war "carries a 99% chance of death." He estimated that around 1,000 Iraqis have joined Russian forces since 2022, with up to 200 killed.

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor, the sick, the tired. It's not an option, it's central to advancing God's will."
Newsom: He is a historic president—a historically unpopular president. Underwater in every key category—I mean, you can’t even make this up; this is hard to do…
And he knows it. Why else did he feel the need to rig the election before even one vote was cast. That's just weakness. Weakness masquerading as strength. That’s Donald Trump.. and he had a very bad night on Tuesday.

When Stoltenberg and Biden refused this request.
They didn’t prevent WW3.
They guaranteed it.
When we needed to show the ruSSians our strength.
We showed them weakness and fear.
They were given the choice between dishonour and war.
They chose dishonour.
They will have war.

‼️ Norway may be the guarantor for a €100 billion loan to Ukraine!
With Belgium opposing a loan of €140 billion secured by frozen Russian assets in their Euroclear depository, Norway stepping in as guarantor provides a path for the loan to proceed.
Thank you Norway!!🇳🇴💙💛

Now there are TWO lists the White House won't release.
First it was the Epstein Files. Now it's who's paying for Trump's Golden Ballroom.
Apparently, the only promises the President keeps are those that benefit himself and his billionaire friends.

We are already preparing the 20th sanctions package with our EU partners.
We expect this package’s content to be prepared within a month and we propose including Russian legal entities and individuals that are still profiteering from energy resources.
There will also be updates on the abductors of Ukrainian children – this must be met with truly global pressure.
Of course, there must be substantially cranked up pressure on all schemes that enable Russian military production. This is vital. Every Russian missile and drone contains specific components from other countries, specific countries – without them, there would simply be no Russian weapons. Efforts on this must be doubled down.

Bankruptcy was Trump's favorite tool to get rich by squeezing businesses dry and walking away with any valuable assets. So far, he is following the same algorithm while running The USA, Inc.
