Sock Puppets have really gone downhill around here lately. I blame the Cult, where they all meld into Der Leader; projecting his same lame weirdness.

Not to mention his racism, jingoism, Chauvinism, misogynism, and all-round general vileness and lack of patriotism or respect for the Law.

He's likely setting up to Pardon himself... for anything and everything.

They are more like a river of piss posts.... which is why he's killfiled.

But enough already about Don-old Trump, the criminal coup martyr of the far-right.

Senate GOP demands new sanctions against Russia

The Kremlin dismissed Trump's criticisms " after Russia escalated its missile and drone attacks against Kyiv this weekend " with its former president Dmitry Medvedev posting on X:

"I only know of one REALLY BAD thing " WWIII. I hope Trump understands this!"

The bottom line: Graham and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) have a bill to hit Russia with economic sanctions if Putin refuses to negotiate with Ukraine " or if Russia launches another attack after a peace deal is reached.

The legislation sets a 500% tariff on goods imported from countries that buy Russian oil.
It has 82 cosponsors."

"wasteful and ineffective," though without citing evidence to support those claims."

That's actually their operating plan for all of Government.

Because Gov is of by and for the People, not the current Oligarch masters who basically got their Coup when Citizens United made them Super Citizens; money as speech means those wid' da' money gots all da' speech.

Little Marco indicated yesterday that we are basically through trying to make peace in Ukraine, and that we have bigger wars to prepare for in the 'Indo-Pacific', apparently meaning with China.

Which is, of course, just an excuse for Trump's utter failure to do anything at all about ending the war against Ukraine.

And he owes Vlad his bot help in the last two elections, so this will be like Tariffs; on again off again, and only making matters worse.

Russian Bots Roast 'Clown' Donald Trump After Putin Comments

King Chaz could buy Trump off easily enough; just distract him with a shiny object like... one of his spare King crowns.

That would do it fer sure!

You poisoned my sweet water
You cut down my green trees
The food you fed my children
Was the cause of their disease

My world is slowly fallin' down
And the air's not good to breathe
And those of us who care enough
We have to do something...

To be fair, Trump has been werking with Russian Oligarchs almost as long as Putin has; they supported Putin's rise as a second rate KGB agent they thought they could control, and they financed Trump when no western banks would touch him.

They also did, and continue to, launder money through real estate purchases from Trump.

So, Trump is bought and paid for, and plans to stay that way.

Little Marco indicated yesterday that we are basically through trying to make peace in Ukraine, and that we have bigger wars to prepare for in the 'Indo-Pacific', apparently meaning with China.

Which is, of course, just an excuse for Trump's utter failure to do anything at all about ending the war against Ukraine.

Blasphemy is disrespect, so God prolly told him to stfu.

They shoulda had silencers.... but hey, that was some pretty poor marksmanship out there, just sayin'.

Trump praised Jenkins as "a wonderful person, who was persecuted by the Radical Left 'monsters,' and 'left for dead.

'This is why I, as President of the United States, see fit to end his unfair sentence, and grant Sheriff Jenkins a FULL and Unconditional Pardon. He will NOT be going to jail tomorrow, but instead will have a wonderful and productive life."

"Jenkins was convicted by a jury in December 2024 on charges including one count of conspiracy, four counts of honest services fraud and seven counts of bribery concerning federally funded programs.

Lee wrote in a March sentencing memo that Jenkins repeatedly violated the public's trust "by exploiting his official powers for personal gain."

"After he was caught, he sought to manipulate the judicial process and to evade responsibility for his crimes by lying to the Court and the jury," Lee added.

"In sum, Jenkins' lies and abuses of power in the instant case are not an aberration," he said.

"Since his early days in law enforcement, Jenkins has displayed a shocking disregard for his ethical and legal responsibilities."

The Department of Justice had said in a press release in March that he had received over $75,000 in cash payments for "appointing numerous Northern Virginia businessmen as auxiliary deputy sheriffs within his department."

Obviously Donnie and the Sheriff have a lot in common.

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time" is famously attributed to Abraham Lincoln.

We are about to get into that last part here as soon as the economy buckles and the war(s) start.

Yes, we know who's running the country.... into the ground; the economy, the democracy, and the rule of law rather than the whims of a wannabe dictator.

"The longtime senator's call comes after Trump has increased his criticism of Russia and Putin, accusing the Russian president of having gone "absolutely" crazy recently despite a strong relationship in the past.

He said "something has happened to him," specifically pointing to the Russian military's attacks on civilian areas in Ukraine amid the ongoing three-year war.

"He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I'm not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever," he said.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov reportedly said in response to Trump's comments that Russia is "grateful" to the United States and Trump for their assistance in organizing negotiations to bring an end to the war.

But he said now is a "crucial" moment and warned of an "emotional overload" and "emotional reactions."

So... Vlad basically calls Donnie an emotional little girl... when really the US Pres is just covering his arse with people like Grassley who's vote he needs on the Beastly Bill to Kill Americans.

Vlad hasn't a care in the world.

"Born and raised in Harlem, he was first elected to Congress in 1970, after serving in the New York State Assembly and as an Assistant U.S. Attorney. Congressman Rangel retired from the United States Congress in 2017.

He was a veteran of the Korean War, where he earned a Purple Heart and the Bronze Star."

"Rangel was a war hero, history-making congressman, and master lawmaker. He served for 23 terms in the House of Representatives and was cited as the most effective lawmaker in Congress, leading all of his colleagues in passing legislation. He was the primary sponsor of President Obama's historic health care reform law.

Recognized as one of the hardest working legislators in Congress, he sponsored 40 bills and resolutions that became law throughout his tenure.

Among his greatest legislative accomplishments was:

championing the national Empowerment Zone program, Affordable Care Act, Low Income Housing Tax Credit, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Work Opportunity Tax Credit, Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI), Africa Growth and Opportunity Act, and the Rangel Amendment' which sounded the death knell of Apartheid in South Africa."
