It's all been bullshit. All of it. Diesel, energy deals, peace negotiations, everything between Trump Co. and Putin's mafia is a charade. All they're doing is laundering money and trying to lift sanctions. It's all they care about and all they know how to do.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Democrats are planning to investigate if Trump stole $13 billion dollars in cash for himself from Venezuela.

251 Years at the Tip of the Spear For 251 years, Marines have met every fight with resolve, precision, and an ethos that never wavers. The first to fight and the last to yield. America sleeps well because Marines stand the watch. Happy Birthday, Marines. Semper Fidelis. (Narrated by @netflix @mosquitobowl Director Peter Berg) 🎥(U.S. Marine Corps video by Staff Sgt. Patrick Katz)

Happy 251st birthday to the United States Marine Corps! It is a tremendous honor to represent Camp Pendleton. For 251 years, Marines have stood as the finest fighting force in the world, carrying a courage, integrity, and devotion to the Constitution that few can match. Once a Marine, always a Marine. To every Marine, active and veteran, thank you for your service and sacrifice. Semper Fi.

Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the UAE peace talks: Putin & Trump continue to pressure Ukraine to give up & surrender territory. No one can guarantee russia won’t rearm and try take Kyiv again in a few years. The end

How can Ukraine negotiate with russia if russia always lies. For any negotiation to be successful, both sides must trust that the agreed conditions will be honored. Ukrainians would have to trust that Putin and russia would uphold a peace agreement. But the only thing we can reliably trust about Putin is that he lies — consistently and without consequence. This is the same man who repeatedly and publicly claimed he had no intention of invading Ukraine, only to launch a full-scale invasion days later. From the Budapest Memorandum — where russia committed to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty — to hundreds of direct Kremlin falsehoods like “we are not going to attack Ukraine,” the pattern is constant. They lie as a matter of state policy. Any guarantees issued by russia are worth nothing. Now imagine a scenario in which a “peace agreement” is signed. Trump declares it “the best deal ever” and even announces some form of security guarantees. Then, one day, russia claims there was an assassination attempt on Putin. Ukrainian drones allegedly targeted his residence. No evidence is required — perhaps a few fabricated photos or videos will do. The Kremlin declares the agreement void and resumes military operations. That’s it. This is not hypothetical. This is how russia operates. They fabricate pretexts. They lie reflexively. They break promises without hesitation. You cannot make agreements with liars. And you cannot build peace on the word of a regime that has never honored it.

The Ukrainians need to hit some more Russian data centers

Had Musk not entered politics—had he never purchased Twitter; had he never vowed to rescue children trapped in a cave, failed to be of use, and then called one of the men who succeeded “pedo guy”; had he been an ordinary tech CEO—perhaps the Cybertruck would have been viewed differently #FascistToblerone texasmonthly.com/news-politi…

OMFG! Trump just asked why we can't impeach Biden's Person that disappeared," and the "people that ran the Vietnam war". TRUMP Just Now: “Pete Hegseth won two wars. Oh, let's impeach him. What about impeaching the gentleman from Biden, his person that disappeared for two weeks and nobody had any idea where he was? What about impeaching the people that ran the Vietnam War?" The guy's name is Lloyd Austin BTW

🚨 WHOA: In a stunning blow to Trump, Republican Rep. Don Bacon says he’s leaning on voting to impeach Pete Hegseth. BACON: I’m not the only one. There’s a bunch of us talking about it… On Iran… Trump never sought bipartisan support, which was a mistake.” MAGA is cracking.

This is DISGRACEFUL! Pete Hegseth has been using internet searches to help decide whether highly qualified military officers deserve promotions. They were looking to see if these decorated officers had participated in diversity events, celebrated International Women’s Day, supported COVID vaccinations, or attended events recognizing minority service members. Hegseth is putting his personal culture war ahead of military readiness. Our troops deserve better. He needs to GO! #SupportTheTroops

No, no, say it with ecstatic relish and pride: you’ll be remembered as the one who, during the largest war of aggression in Europe since Adolf Hitler and the largest frontal war of the 21st century so far, betrayed everything and everyone, openly sided with an aggressive dictatorship in exchange for promises of petty corrupt handouts, shamefully twisted the arm of a democracy fighting for its very survival, and kept spewing idiotic, completely made-up claims about “$350 billion” just to smear a political rival who had hurt your feelings.

BREAKING: Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi says he has seen part of a leaked war plan presented to Trump containing three scenarios, one of which involves US ground forces entering through Iraq to invade southern Iran, Iraqi officials tell Al-Mada.

Ross Douthat: Who do you trust more, President Putin or President Zelenskyy? Trump: I'd rather not say... There's tremendous hatred between Putin and Zelenskyy. Douthat: Isn't it more understandable coming from Zelensky given that his country was actually invaded? Trump: There was great disrespect shown to Russia.
