… is the latest indication of the Trump administration’s move away from President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s commitment to holding Mr. Putin personally accountable for crimes committed against Ukrainians.
The group was created to hold the leadership of Russia, along with its allies in Belarus, North Korea and Iran, accountable for a category of crimes — defined as aggression under international law and treaties that violates another country’s sovereignty and is not initiated in self-defense.
Such a request would align the Trump administration with the position of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has long seen Crimea as his nation’s territory.
Trump weighs recognizing Crimea as Russian territory in bid to end war.Any alliance with the US is worthless and untrustworthy.Taiwan is watching this one closely.www.semafor.com/article/03/1…
Now read the posts below. As noted here before, Ian Miles Cheong has never stepped foot in the United States, yet he is frequently retweeted by prominent cultists including Elon Musk.
And Russia’s friend China also loves the shutting down of Voice Of America. Hugs
So there is still no peace deal and Trump is left arguing whether Putin treated his envoy abysmally before rejecting it or just sent him packing after he was forced to listen to another 3-hour Putin lecture on his alternate version of European history.
this guy’s distinguishing quality is his boundless contempt for anyone who voices the slightest disagreement with him. you can see in his voice and mannerisms that he thinks he’s better than everyone around him. (which to my mind is just compensation for his palpable self-loathing)

Made a mistake on the interest payment numbers. I took short term debt that needs to be refinanced and incorrectly extrapolated. So the interest savings won't be as significant as I stated.

I’m not leaving the Dem party. I’ve been here for 33 years. If guys like Schumer wanna vote with republicans, THEY can leave the Dem party and join the GOP.
Why did Trump repeat Russian propaganda and lie about this? Why would he claim that a Ukrainian army in Kursk could only be saved from annihilation if Putin benevolently agreed to Trump’s request not to do so? Why is the US President deceiving Americans with Russian lies?
BREAKING: Senate Democrats have the votes to block the Republican Continuing Resolution, which was loaded with poison pills. Sen. Schumer says the Democratic caucus is unified on a clean short term resolution that would keep current funding through April 11.
You know what the real scam of Social Security is?If you make above $168,800/year, the government STOPS taxing you on every dollar above that.Billionaires like Musk and Trump NEVER pay their fair share — and now they want to take OUR money away!!?!
Ouch. Republican Representative Tom Barrett held a tele-town hall with his constituents in his swing district in Michigan on Monday and ran a survey asking if they support DOGE.70% of the participants said they do not.
It does not matter at all what Mahmoud Khalil has said. The government does not get to black bag a legal permanent resident for their speech. We have a 1st Amendment right to free speech that forbids the government from punishing people for it. That's a solid red line that should never be crossed.

We are facing a government shutdown in two days and Republicans sent House members home AGAIN after working just TWO DAYS this week. Why are they at home tweeting instead of working?
Democrats won a key special election yesterday and massively over performed in another, potentially indicating a shift in voter sentiment amid the chaos of the Trump administration.
"… If your status in the community was based on character and reputation, then a farmer could earn dignity as readily as a banker. This ethos came down hard on self-centeredness and narcissistic display. It offered practical guidance on how to be a good neighbor, a good friend.”
"I think his way has to be the model for us: not to eliminate universities, but to give them a choice between survival or taking a much less biased approach to teaching. [The government should be] aggressively reforming institutions … in a way to where they’re much more open to conservative ideas.”

I had a recorded video to go with this post but I can’t access it right now. But think of what this will let happen giving Russian military free rein over elections and disinformation. The conspiracy shit and hate pitting one group against the other will destroy the country in 4 years. Hugs
Pressed to provide evidence of fraud that Musk has discovered, Leavitt waves around "screenshots of contracts" that go "against the president's policies" (going against Trump's policies is not fraud)
‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history. This pride, we riot.
They’re really getting down in the weeds to scrub trans people from history along with the present. The nasty pettiness of it says everything about this fascist administration.
They’re also attempting to divide us, and it works on a small subset of anonymous morons. (See least popular comments here.) Stay unified, people. Transphobes are also homophobes, even if we gay people are no longer Target #1.
Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center?Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him. So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.
Reporter: Why do you want to be chairman of Kennedy Center board?Trump: Some of the shows were terrible. They were a disgrace.Reporter: Have you seen any shows there?Trump: No, I didn’t go.
Seven witnesses tell me that CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp allegedly engaged in lewd conduct and allegedly sexually assaulted a man at a bar on Saturday night near a property he owns in north-central Virginia.
TBYR formally welcomes @Cobratate & @TateTheTalisman to Florida. As free speech absolutists, the Tate's haven't been formally convicted of any crimes and are welcome to speak to our group.

The Middle Ages called. they want their superstitions and their paranoias, their fear, their quaking religiosity, their faux piety, their domination by clerical abusers and perverts back. The USA has usurped the Middle Ages.

Washington, Madison, Lincoln, FDR, Ike, etc. “stood up for America” far more than Trump could ever be capable of doing.

Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that Donald Trump would be a “puppet” for Russian President Vladimir Putin, if the Republican presidential nominee were elected to the White House.
After Trump attacked Clinton during the third and final presidential debate, saying Putin had “no respect” for her or President Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee shot back, “Well, that’s because he’d rather have a puppet as president of the United States.”
“No puppet. No puppet,” Trump shot back. “You’re the puppet. No, you’re the puppet.”

Donald Trump’s Department of Education has launched a new portal for Americans to rat out the diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts at their local public schools.
Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities.They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

If DOGE wants to root out "waste, fraud and abuse" in the healthcare area re: Medicaid, how about they cut out the wasteful, price gouging mafia middlemen in between us and our doctors, the insurance companies, and make Americans' healthcare entirely self funding with one payer?
Guess who’s getting a new FAA contract to help privatize air safety?Elon Musk. He’s cutting the FAA and everything else in government — and carving it off for himself.THE WHOLE THING IS A MONEY GRAB

Our immigration carceral system is designed to create a permanent underclass of subminimum wage workers who can't speak up about workplace abuse or unionize for fear of deportation. Corporations like DoorDash prefer immigrants to be under threat, and that's who Trump represents.
Ok now vote is back on. To be clear this is basically a purely symbolic vote on a framework that won’t pass the senate and should be an absolute lay up
This is "The Boardroom" from Donald Trump’s “reality” show “The Apprentice.” Look at the top and you can see where the wall ends because it wasn’t a real boardroom. It was a set built on a soundstage because Trump’s real offices were small and shoddy. The show created an *illusion* of Trump success.

This man, who might be high on Ketamine at any given moment, talks privately with Putin. He is not elected, nor is he appointed by Congress. He’s ‘outside’ of government.
He has hired a crew of young rightwing nerds and they are now inside every fucking computer system in the government. They work for a Russian agent.
Don’t be surprised when, sometime soon, every system shuts down or worse, every dime of US money is flying into Russian accounts.
It is painful to see that it would be so easy to destroy a big country like America.
Horribly hateful people / person the above.
“This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.” of course it is they’re just using DEI as a cover.
I appreciate that Ten Bears adds his thoughts here. I have taken great value from his comments and his posts. I admit I don’t know enough about social media and these spoofing of names / IDs online. I don’t comment much and I doubt I am important enough for anyone to do this horrible thing to me. I imagine finding others posting as Scotties Playtime, as me saying things I do not agree with nor would ever say and the thought of it would not only anger me but how to explain to people now angry it was not me who felt that way. So this is a repost to let people know if they read something that sound off from what you know I would say, what others you follow would say, please think about if it is really them saying that thing.

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked.Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care.And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care!AMAZING
People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out.Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.
This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC.You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself.It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research.Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.
A sitting congressman calling Elon Musk a dick is now considered a threat by the DOJ and are now starting a criminal investigation. This is the death of free speech in the United States.
