I've known for years that Trump doesn't have a suit that fits him well, but I'm just noticing that he apparently doesn't have a black one.

At this transfer of the fallen soldiers, everyone not in uniform is wearing black except Trump, who's in his usual rumpled blue, and Susie Wiles in white coat.

I like this Ben Stiller fellow. When he made a movie in Wilmington, Ohio, he was nice to people. And look β€” he stands up for himself rather than allowing himself to be ritually humiliated.

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense β€” if we still had a Congress.

Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people?

Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran. 

Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth?
Hegseth: We’re investigating. 

Trump: It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions.

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

This is by far the most interesting discussion I have seen in the Solovyov show.

Solovyov almost loses it, when Sidorov mentions russia being bogged down in Ukraine.

Today, Ukraine commemorates the Babyn Yar massacre - one of WWII’s darkest chapters.

In Sept 1941, Nazis executed tens of thousands, mainly Kyiv’s Jews, along with Roma, POWs, and civilians.

Babyn Yar stands as a symbol of Holocaust horrors. We remember to prevent history from repeating.

Or Russia. Not a coincidence that dissidents from authoritarian nations and reporters that covered those places have been waving their arms over what the Trump White House has been doing since 2017 while most US opposition and media have been sedately concerned. It’s not confusing to us at all.

One of the most prescient statements you made, that has stuck with me as I've watched the collapse of critical thinking in America, was this:
"The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth."

confidential. Of course, Trump said the liberal media was lying but the man posted pictures of his bites and Trump paid him off. Now Trump wants to hold the G20 there. I hope all the leaders decline.

In 2017, Eric Linder, a businessman, stayed at Trump's Doral Resort in Miami. He was all bitten up on his neck, arms, legs and it turned out his villa was infested w/ bedbugs. He even had to leave all his clothes behind because they were infested. He sued and Trump settled but the results were

During his campaign in the 2016 election, Trump said he wouldn't have time to golf as prez. Turns out, that's all he does on weekends is golf and party at MAL. Doesn't matter if a war or two is going on or the economy is cratering.

As long as Stephen Miller is running the government all is good.
