The Lies of the Right

If anyone from the GOP or the Right tries to tell you how much this country is doing for Ukraine, the short answer is "hardly anything" since Donald Krasnov Trump became president.

Trump is Putin's puppet. He is trying to drag this country into an alliance with Russia. But there are signs that some in his party have had enough of that.

It could be interesting. There may be a critical mass of representatives and senators in a few weeks who will be happy to extract a little payback for their shellacking. Or maybe not.

Trump is Still Putin's Bitch

He's waiving the sanctions Congress just imposed on Russia, because, as we all know, he cares more about Russia than he does about abstract concepts such as "freedom".

Also, he and his buddies stand to make bank on deals with Russia if they can force this war to an end, so they want to set things in motion so Ukraine has to capitulate.

He is a corrupt thug who cares about nothing other than his bank balance. Both he and everyone around him, Kushner, Witkoff, Musk, and the rest, belong in either GTMO or a SuperMax.

The Trump Family is Corrupt to Its Core

A Russan oligarch bankrolled Don,Jr's wedding to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Trump's family is just rotten. They are in thrall to Putin, which is why the governing message of the GOP is "if they win, we go to prison." They are all crooks.

And their bone-deep debt to Putin is why nobody blinks an eye at Kushner's attempts to sell out Ukraine.

You'd think the fact that the son of the President of the "party of family values" 2nd marriage is to the daughter of Epstein's banker and it was funded by a Rusisan oligarch involved in the mass kidnap of Ukrainian kids during a KGB agent's illegal war would be bigger news.

Kushner Channels His Inner Neville Chamberlain

US President Donald Trump's special envoy Jared Kushner has said that the only thing missing for an agreement to end the war is Ukraine's consent to give up its territories within the boundaries demanded by Russian ruler Vladimir Putin.
...
"President Putin's laid out his line of what he wants to achieve. If Ukraine wanted to withdraw to that line, then obviously we have the rest of the deal set up and put together. Ukraine right now does not want to do that. And obviously, our job as the mediators [is] to figure out how can we come up with a creative solution that doesn't violate their desires and that helps them achieve their objective, and does in a way that we can get Russia to end the conflict in a way that hopefully allows both parties to move forward in a framework where this doesn't happen again."

Here's a wild idea: Russia, the aggressor nation, can withdraw to its internationally-recognized border. Of course Ukraine doesn't want to give up territory, particularly at the behest of two men who are pretty much operating as Russian assets. Witkoff and Kushner likely have eyes on development projects in Russia, but those won't go forward with a war on. So they want it to end, on any terms that they can finagle.

Add to this is the fact that Kusher is just not that bright. He's gotten everywhere he's been on family connections, not talent. That was true when his dad bribed Harvard to let him in and when he used his connections to Trump to wheedle billions out of the Gulf-State Oil Arabs.

The Pro-Ignorance President

Seems in Hungary, Spending Government Money on Foreign Political Operations is a Crime

They're going to investigate Orban's funding of CPAC and other Trumpist/Putinite entities with public money.

Hungary is pointing the way forward: Turn out the vote, oust those fuckers and then investigate them, including Putin's poodles.

Viktor Orban, Trump's Buddy, Gets Crushed

He was Trump's and Putin's best buddy. The Russians poured a lot of money into the election.

And he got slaughtered.

Hungarian voters on Sunday ousted long-serving Prime Minister Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power, rejecting the authoritarian policies and global far-right movement that he embodied in favor of a pro-European challenger in a bombshell election result with global repercussions.

Election victor Péter Magyar, a former Orbán loyalist who campaigned against corruption and on everyday issues like health care and public transport, has pledged to rebuild Hungary’s relationships with the European Union and NATO — ties that frayed under Orbán. European leaders quickly congratulated Magyar.

Orban's fascist policies have turned Hungary into one of the poorest countries in Europe. His more and more slavish devotion to Russia likely didn't sit well in a country where the memories of Russian oppression and the crushing of the 1956 Revolution are still bright.

Orban did try to cast doubt about the legitimacy of the election, but the margin of victory was just too much for his lies.

The cleanup from sixteen years of Orban's rule should be interesting.

Care to Bet Who Is the Traitor?

Last spring, the National Security Agency (NSA) detected evidence of an unusual phone call between an individual associated with foreign intelligence and a person close to Donald Trump, according to a whistleblower’s attorney briefed on the existence of the call.

Gabbard seems to have been doing her best to keep in under wraps. Probably because the person is really close to the Orange Asset and he doesn't want to have to fire him.

So, place your bets!

Russia's Rep Was in Fulton County

Putin's girlfriend, Tulsi Gabbard, was in Fulton County, skulking around at the Trump-mandated raid on county election offices. What the DNI has to do with elections is yours to speculate.

Meanwhile, as it would be put if the press was covering a third-world dictatorship: State secret police arrested a journalist who was covering a protest. He wasn't the only one Trump's Blackshirts arrested for covering a protest.

Bribe-taking Barbie had to go judge-shopping to find one who would sign an arrest warning.

As others have noticed, using the KKK Act to arrest a journalist who was covering a protest at a neo-Nazi church that has a high-ranking ICE official as an assistant pastor is some seriously twisted shit. The point of all this is to intimidate reporters, because Trump can't abide freedom of the press.

The presumption of innocence should apply ten-fold to anyone charged by the feds. The standard of proof for a conviction in federal court should be beyond an unreasonable doubt. Because it's reasonable, now, to suppose that a federal charge is persecution.

And every reporter, editor and publisher who doesn't speedily condemn those arrests is a fucking Quisling who should quit and take a job washing Lindsey Graham's balls.

The Barium Meal Test

The Ukrainians fed Trump's people a barium meal and they failed the test.

Anyone not now believe that Trump and his minions are working for the Russians?

Let's Be Honest About a Few Things

First off, our president is seriously ill between his ears. On a day that is supposedly about faith and family, he dropped over 100 posts on his social media site.

Who does that? Who who has a family and a social life does that? Shouldn't we care that a man who spends his Christmas shitposting has a guy following him around with the nuclear launch codes?

Second, it should be pretty obvious, by now, that Steve Witkoff is a Russian asset. Read what he posted on X:

The last paragraph is something that could have been said by a spokesman for the Russian government. The only peace Russia wants to achieve in Ukraine is the peace of the conqueror. Witkoff is clearly working more for Russia than anyone else. That Trump is backing Witkoff tells a casual observer where his loyalties lie.

The white supremacists have a new code phrase: "Heritage Americans". That's code for white people, and only white people who can trace their ancestry back before the 1880s.

Which, as far as they're concerned, doesn't mean anyone from Southern or Eastern Europe or Jews from anywhere. Basically, "Heritage Americans" are people who were eligible to join the KKK a century ago. (And they don't like it that women can vote and refuse to have sex with these incels.)

And it ignores the fact that the original "Heritage Americans" were these people:

Finally, JD Vance has effectively sided with Russia against NATO, completing his transition to full-on Nazi:

Vance is a full-blown lunatic and a fascist.

Trump and Witkoff Move to Ally With Russia

US Treasury lifts sanctions on firms that supplied equipment for Russia’s military needs.

The delistings include Cyprus-based Veles International Limited and its owner, Dmytro Buhaienko — a subsidiary of an investment firm based in Moscow. The firm’s Moscow-based legal entities remain under U.S. sanctions.

Veles was placed under restrictions in 2023 for operating in Russia’s financial sector and working with wealthy Russian private individuals.

Sanctions were also lifted on Dubai-based 365 Days Freight Services FZCO and Turkey’s Etasis, which had exported sanctioned equipment to Russia for military purposes.

In addition, restrictions were removed on Finland’s Hi-Tech Koneisto and its chief executive, Yevheniia Dremova, who supplied optoelectronic and laboratory equipment to sanctioned Russian companies.

Another Turkish firm, CPS Proses Kontrol Urunleri Sanayi Ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi, had supplied German and U.S.-made machine tools to a Russian defense contractor that is also under U.S. sanctions.

The U.S. Treasury Department did not explain the reasons for lifting the sanctions and did not say whether its policy toward the Russian recipient companies would change.

It's patently obvious that if these birds had been in power in 1940, we would have gone to war on the side of the Nazis. Who is the aggressor and who is the victim in the current war is no mystery.

But for reasons, whether ideologial or fiscal, Trump is aligning this country on the side of the bad guys. And his party is mute on this. Which is understandable, the GOP was backing Hitler right up until the bombs fell.

Trump's National Security Strategy

It probably reads better in the original Russian. For it seems to be a document that serves Russia's interests in Europe, which the Russians readily acknowledge.

If you still support Trump, dear reader, and you are an American citizen, you are as much as a traitor as he is. Or you are a fool. Those two categories are not mutually exclusive.

Steve Witkoff is a Russian Asset-- Prove Me Wrong

He was coaching Russian negotiators how to sell their point of view to Trump.

An American envoy who is caught on tape coaching the other party how to sweet-talk his boss into a deal is an enemy agent who should be escorted out of the negotiations in irons.

The Surrender Piggy at Work

He sent Special Lackey and his corrupt-as-fuck SIL down to Miami to get his marching orders from his Russian masters:

U.S. officials and lawmakers are increasingly concerned about a meeting last month in which representatives of the Trump administration met with Kirill Dmitriev, a Russian envoy who is under U.S. sanctions, to draft a plan to end the war in Ukraine, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

The meeting took place in Miami at the end of October and included special envoy Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Dmitriev, who leads the Russian Direct Investment Fund, one of Russia's largest sovereign wealth funds.
...
The meeting resulted in a 28-point plan for ending the war, two people familiar with the situation said. The plan, which was made public this week by Axios, came as a surprise to U.S. officials in various corners of the administration and has stirred confusion at embassies throughout Washington and in European capitals.

Trump's surrender plan was drafted by the Russians, given to Witkoff and then Trump blessed it as his own. If Witkoff and Trump were avowed Russian agents, their actions would be no different from what they are. Krasnov is furious because the Ukrainians won't obey his orders to surrender. It'd be like Chamberlain cmplaining that the Czechs showed no gratitude to him for plunging a knife into their backs.

And, of course, MAGA is blindly following Trump down the road of selling out Ukraine to Russia because they are in thrall to their Orange God and have largely lost the capability to disgaree with anything that he does.

Except, of course, when it comes to Epstein and pedophilia. They still have a few standards, even if the Trump Propaganda Team is trying to push down the definition of pedophilia so Trump gets a pass.

Putin's Poodles in D.C. Keep Helping Russian Aggression

The Pentagon has for months been blocking Ukraine from using U.S.-made long-range missiles to strike inside Russia, limiting Kyiv’s ability to hit targets deep behind enemy lines, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing U.S. officials.

A high-level approval process, kept under wraps until now, has prevented Ukraine from firing Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) against Russian territory since late spring. On at least one occasion, Ukraine sought clearance to use ATACMS but was denied, two officials told the paper.

The Demented Mango, the Couch Fucker Petey Kegstand always seem to do what they can to have Putin's back.

JD Vance is Dumber Than a Box of Hammers; His Schools Should Revoke His Degrees

On Meet the Press, the Faux-Hillbilly Couch-Fucker said this: <br />

If you go back to World War II, if you go back to World War I, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end with some kind of negotiation.

Oh, really.

OK, WWI technically ended by negotiation, in a one-sided treaty that was brought about because the German army was pretty much broken and the home front was increasingly in revolt.

Vance is a tool and not the sharpest one in the box.

Dumping American Software, Plus Putin's European Poodles

Hard on the heels of concerns about a killswitch in F-35s, Europeans are now worried about digital sovereignty.

Denmark's Minister of Digitalization, Caroline Stage, has announced that the Danish government will start moving away from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice. Why? It's not because open-source is better, although I would argue that it is, but because Denmark wants to claim "digital sovereignty." In the States, you probably haven't heard that phrase, but in the European Union, digital sovereignty is a big deal and getting bigger.

They didn't worry much about it before. But with Brain-Rotting Mangolini as our president, the U.S. has become an unreliable ally, if not an adversarial state, to European countries. It makes eminent sense for them to reduce reliance on American technological services. The article didn't mention Amazon's cloud service, but you can bet heavily that's also being eyed to be replaced.

Pissing off a bloc of about 350 million people in mostly-wealthy nations isn't smart business. But that's what this Administration, helmed by a dementia case with the impulse control of a toddler, is doing.

Also, some of Putin's useful idiots are squawking about being affected by the war:

Russian oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia could be suspended for at least five days after a Ukrainian strike on a facility in Russia, Hungarian and Slovakian officials said on Aug 22, in a widening of the fallout of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
...
EU members Slovakia and Hungary have maintained relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin and opposed sanctions against Russia that Ukraine says are vital to make Moscow drop unacceptable war demands. They also oppose the phase-out of Russian energy supplies via the Druzhba pipeline.

Awww, the Quisling Caucus in the EU isn't happy. Cue the violins.

The Level of Treason and Subservience to Russia Accelerates in the Trump Administration

First, there is symbolic:

US special envoy Steve Witkoff delivered a Russian medal to the grieving family of an American who was killed fighting for Russia in 2024, a senior administration official told CNN.

Imagine an American serving in the Luftwaffe being killed during the Battle of Britain. Imagine Hitler awarding the dead guy the Iron Cross and having Charles Lindberg hand-deliver it. That's the level of pro-Russian, anti-Western animus propelling our government these days.

Meanwhile, Russia's favorite American woman is busily neutering our intelligence community.

Every GOP senator is complicit in Trump's treason. And so is every person who voted for him. You clowns could successfully plead ignorance of who and what he is in 2016, but the only way you didn't know in 2024 was because of willful iggnorance.

A Putin Ally in the State Dept.

How did this clown even get in the door?

Senior State Department staffer Darren Beattie, a passionate Putin supporter behind the move to dismantle a key agency fighting Russian propaganda, is married to a Russian woman whose uncle is a longtime Kremlin ally, according to The Telegraph.

Yulia Kirillova grew up in Moscow, studied abroad in North America, and married Beattie in 2021 in Florida. She moved to D.C. in January. Her uncle Sergei Cherniko is a drinks magnate who had an estimated net worth of $150 million in 2005. That year, he served in Russia’s ministry of natural resources and was then deputy governor of Siberia’s Nenets region. Cherniko later served in Putin’s civic chamber from 2008 to 2010.

The relationship raises even greater scrutiny around Beattie’s April decision to eliminate the Global Engagement Center, a State Department office tasked with dealing with Russian disinformation campaigns. Beattie has been a staunch supporter of Putin, setting himself apart from the traditional conservative right in Bannon-esque fashion.

I cannot think of a single president, other than this one, who would have hired somebody with such close ties to Putin to do anything more than pick up trash on the C&O Canal. He should be residing in a Federal pridon, awaiting a trade to Russia.
