As I have said since Feb 2025, Trump is in office to solve Putin's problems. How else are you going to ensure that Putin's failed state becomes prosperous? it is already having to be propped up by China.
I’ll never forget being at the White House the day Trump called the Paralympics “hard to watch” when addressing……the U.S. Paralympic and Olympic delegations in 2018
Her AI recommended it based off her previous inquiries
Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.
I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.
I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor O @KhalafAlHabtoor X.com © Translated from Arabic by Grok His Excellency President Donald Trump, A direct question: Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with #Iran? And on what basis did you make this dangerous decision? Did you calculate the collateral damage before pulling the trigger? And did you consider that the first to suffer from this escalation will be the countries of the region itself! The peoples of this region have the right to ask as well: Was this your decision alone? Or did it come as a result of pressures from #Netanyahu and his government? You have placed the countries of the #GulfCooperationCouncil and the Arab countries at the heart of a danger they did not choose. Thank God, we are strong and capable of defending ourselves, and we have armies and defenses that protect our homelands, but the question remains: Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield? For before the ink has dried on the #BoardOfPeace initiative that you announced in the name of peace and stability, we find ourselves facing a military escalation that endangers the entire region. So where did those initiatives go? And what is the fate of the commitments made in the name of peace? Most of the funding proposed in those initiatives came from the countries of the region themselves, and from Arab Gulf countries that contributed billions of dollars on the basis of supporting stability and development. And these countries have the right to ask today: Where did this money go? And are we funding peace initiatives or funding a war that exposes us to danger? More dangerous than that, your decision does not threaten only the peoples of the region, but also reaches the American people whom you promised peace and prosperity. And here they are today, finding themselves in a war funded from their money and taxes, with costs ranging, according to the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), between 40-65 billion dollars for direct military …

“Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran? And on what basis did you make this dangerous decision?”
“Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield?”
So far, we’ve gotten into:
1. The oil-tanker escort business
2. The shipping-insurance business
3. The militia-arms and finance business
And it’s only Tuesday.
Netanyahu to the U.S. Congress, 2002: "If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region."
The American people deserved to get a clear explanation of why servicemembers lives are at risk and why their gas prices are about to skyrocket. Instead, they got this.
We wanted to save Iranians from the bad guys.
So we killed the bad guys.
This turned out to be unfortunate, because our plan was, after saving the Iranians from the bad guys, to pick one of the bad guys to be *our* bad guy and to leave him in charge.
💥 No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump.
He's attacked 7 nations, three of which had never been targeted by U.S. military strikes. He authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in four years.
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
THIS.
Just a reminder: instead of an actual diplomat, we sent Trump’s deeply compromised son-in-law as the lead negotiator to avert war with Iran.

If FIFA did, for some reason, regularly give out a Peace Prize, you’d think #1 on the list of criteria for potential winners would be “do not start a war with another nation in the World Cup, directly before the start of the World Cup”
70% - Trump isn't honest or trustworthy
56% - Trump is not mentally sharp enough
56% - Trump is not committed to our rights
62% - Trump's using the presidency to enrich himself

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.
Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.
If these guys had even the tiniest shred of capability for self-reflection they’d realize they were used as props by people who are literally putting words in their mouths but alas
Americans are quite literally paying the price for Donald Trump's corruption.
Using tariffs to get a golf course deal in Vietnam while we pay more at checkout. Running crypto scams while lying about opponents committing fraud.
He is selling out the American people in real time.
“The flag that flies when an American athlete wins a gold medal isn’t Donald Trump’s flag. It’s ours. The anthem that plays isn’t Donald Trump’s song. It’s ours. If we refuse to celebrate what’s great about our country because of the people trying to ruin it, they’ve already succeeded.” Amen.
“.. AI got better and cheaper. Companies laid off workers, then used the savings to buy more AI capability, which let them lay off more workers. Displaced workers spent less. .. A feedback loop with no natural brake.”
This sounds like me after 30mg of THC trying to explain the plot of Face/Off to my wife (who is also high)

What Bessent and Greer both made clear this morning is that they have no intention of issuing refunds and expect each company/person to sue them to get their money back. So they want to add thousands of lawsuits to defend to their workload since they have nothing else to do. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.
