Actually, Legend, I stand partially corrected. I said above, “I didn’t say Trump did this.” And I didn’t. But it turns out that, yes, Trump and his pro Russian clan is not blameless.
While these kids are getting murdered, Hegseth is sitting on an authorization to allow the transfer of Patriot missiles through the PURL program that other countries already purchased from the United States.

When you understand "the deep state" simply refers to the rule of law, it makes much more sense.
I didn’t say Trump did this. But he’s not making any effort to end this war. He’s too busy making deals with Putin. Why do you think he sent business buddies and family members over to Russia, rather than diplomats? Why do you think he got rid of his envoy, General Keith Kellogg, who was actually in favor of helping Ukraine win and had far more relevant experience than Half-witkoff (a guy who cherishes his meetings with Putin) and Trumps son-in-law?
Putin is an evil Fuck. Why the fuck are Trump’s cronies and family doing business deals with them? Why aren’t we arming Ukraine? Why are we rolling out the red carpet for this asshole who is telling Iran how to bomb us and helping Iran develop supersonic missiles to hit us and our allies?
Do you think there will be “peace for our time” like Neville Chamberlain declared after doing a deal with Hitler? I joked about that a couple years ago. And here we are — actually doing deals with Russia. I guess the argument that somehow being friends with them will appease them? And meanwhile Trump’s friends and family can get rich on a sweet Lukoil deal?
What’s my solution? Arming Ukraine. They’re beating Russia on the font line with one arm tied behind their back. In the last couple months they’ve taken more territory back then Russia has gained. And Russia has been losing upwards of 50,000 casualties a month (almost as many as we lost in the entire Vietnam war in one month). This is despite the fact that Trump withdrew material support from Ukraine in March 2025.
If we actually gave a fuck about Ukraine we would be arming them and pressuring Russsia. But instead Trump is making friends with Putin; he and Musk are removing Starlink from Ukraine; they’re removing Star Shield; Trump is rolling out the red carpet for Putin, literally; he’s doing business deals with Putin; he’s removing all sanctions; and the cherry on top — he’s blaming Ukraine for being invaded.
Where the fuck is your outrage at this weak shit?
Ukraine is doing quite well without our assistance. Imagine how well they would do if we actually helped them.
I remember the criticism of Biden was that he was too weak and too slow providing aid. And didn’t provide enough aid. And now Trump is 10 times worse, but somehow there’s not fucking peep from anyone here about that.
Amazing.
One of the worst things is: they crippled Starlink INSIDE Ukraine. You want to make an argument that Starlink shouldn’t be used inside Russia for military purposes? That’s something debatable. But they crippled it INSIDE Ukraine. What the fuck?
Do you not see that Trump is pro Russian? He can barely contain himself. The only reason he’s put up with Ukraine even a tiny bit is because Congress had mandated aid and most Americans are on Ukraine’s side. Trump isn’t. I do hope you aren’t under any other impression by this point.

I don’t follow. Is this part of the 7-D chess where Trump gets played as the fool again while Russia and China help Iran target U.S. bases and then Trump rolls out the red carpet (literally) for both of them?

Wrong grifter. Newsome married Kimberly Guilfoyle — another one of the corrupt people in Trump’s orbit.

On diesel, “structural” is a stretch. Prices had been consistently under $4 for two years prior to the Iran war, and averaged $3.52 in January, before the war. Prices have jumped more than 78% since the Iran war began.
Here’s a chart of diesel prices starting exactly one year before Trump took office until today. The red line is the day he launched the Iran war. Look at the pre and post invasion prices.
I mean, come on. Prices were stable for more than two years in the lead-up to the war.

Meanwhile, Trump Signs Order Exempting Russia From Sanctions Legislation
Because of course he did. Who could have ever predicted this? /s Trump has been so tough on Russia, lol.
Happy Friday, Comrades!
Of course, Russia has an export ban because they need all of it for themselves. And the amount is de minimis. It’s either a performative charade to find a way to normalize Putin, or it’s just Trump being a fucking idiot, thinking this will somehow lower prices meaningfully before the election. Probably both.

Trump going full mask off today. If you ever had any doubt he was a Russian asset, this week’s actions and statements should have cleared up any doubt.
Reagan and Lindsey Graham must be rolling over in their graves.
Now that we’re making deals with Russia to buy their energy, do we sanction ourselves, like we sanctioned India last year?
I love how Trump said Ukraine could have ended this war many times. They could have ended it the same way the Allies could have ended WW2 if only they had surrendered. Does Trump not understand that Russia could end the war literally any day by stopping their invasion? Yes, he probably knows that, but doesn’t actually give a shit. He’d rather his real estate envoys work out deals with Putin than actually pursue peace.
Now Putin will have U.S. money to use to bomb kids, drone shopping centers, and murder civilians daily.
I guess we’ve officially joined the Russia/Iran/North Korea/China axis. But the only schmuck rolling out the red carpet is Trump for these brutal dictators. They see him as a useful idiot.

[quote quote=11397]Yeah, what Cornfed said. Couple of thoughts.
- 79% want a 10% cap on credit card rates. Uh, how about not using your credit card or if you do, pay it off every month.
- 57% want U. S. Govt. to regulate AI immediately. Asking government to regulate AI is like betting on the tortoise to beat a gazelle. By the time legislation is passed – any legislation- AI will be generations and light years beyond the AI generation subject to the legislation.

Um, we’re referring to it as Super Intelligence now Beeg_Dog. Did you get the memo? We’re putting cover sheets on all the TPS reports, and anyone who doesn’t refer to A.I. As S.I. is now considered “the enemy”.
This directive came straight from the Dear Leader. Please try to comply with the political correct words. Thank you for your attention to this matter:

So Cornfed, was Trump was lying about the main reason for this latest war? He said we needed to get rid of their nuclear program.
Quoting myself from last year: “I think we are half-assing this. Trump wants to have his cake and eat it too. Either we plan this properly, do this right, go in full scale. Or we stay the fuck out.”
I was right about the anemic bombing last year and prescient on my recommendation to not half-ass it or stay the fuck out. Trump chose to half-ass it again. No coalition. No preparation. Disregarded advice of anyone competent (since only loyalists are left).
It’s a shame Trump and Hegseth only value loyalty and kicked out the competent people. I guess they were part of “the deep state” or maybe Kegseth thought they didn’t have big enough boners and enough testosterone? That seems to be his only concern.
but here we are. Trump and Hegseth didn’t learn a single lesson from the Ukraine war.

Honestly Mick, it’s amazing how naive your comments were (“Trump does not arrest or jail his political enemies”). Trump literally posted a message on Truth Social addressed to “Pam” (Attorney General Pam Bondi) and wrote “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility” and then went on to talk about several people who needed to be dealt with by the DOJ.
So far others include:
- Former FBI Director James Comey — dismissed in late 2025 because of how absurd it was — and then re-indicted in April over a social media post that was equally absurd (idiotic, really).
- Sen. Adam Schiff (“insurance and mortgage fraud”)
- Former CIA Director John Brennan
- Former Fed Chair Jerome Powell (probe dropped)
- Fed Governor Lisa Cook (criminal referral, not indicted, with Trump attempting to fire her—now before the Supreme Court)
- And let’s not forget New York AG Letitia James (“mortgage fraud”)
Trump was asked about these and promised there would be others. But of course Trump doesn’t do such things.
What amazes me isn’t the fact that he’s done this; it’s that you guys somehow don’t understand how corrupt he is. I’m sure you must be shocked, SHOCKED that he is even tainted with the hint of corruption. No, it’s not Trump. Surely it must be that all these people are guilty.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the message I referenced earlier was actually meant to be sent privately to Bondi. Trump believed he had sent it directly and was surprised to learn it was public. So we can add incompetent to corrupt.

It’s uncanny how accurate my prediction was. I gave it 12 months. Here we are 10 months later and Newsom is of course being investigated by the DOJ. So fucking predictable.

Just a quick update to this thread: Russia has definitely lost, whether they realize it or not. I don’t know if that means Ukraine won, but Russia is clearly the loser. Or at least one of the losers. At this point it’s just a matter of time for them to either realize they lost and withdraw or escalate with nuclear weapons or something.
Putin just needs to come terms with it. I suspect he hasn’t accepted the loss yet. But give it a few months, give or take. one way or another he’ll get the message.

Which programs are wasteful? At least the “tax and spend Democrats” try and pay for their spending. Republicans just lie and swear they won’t spend. And then proceed to wreck the economy and spend like drunken sailors with no plan to pay.
