Cosidered THE ENEMY by Donald for my intransigence regarding the term “artificial intelligence.” (Also would have likely been DOGE’d for that last sentence by their AI.)

This where I come to scream into the void.

I mean Guilfoyle grift IS bad but so is shaking down companies for "golden shares," BS "settlements" from media/law firms/academia, aggressive demands for donations to the library and ballroom, and all the crypto/foreign billions for the Trump/Witkoff/Lutnick sons...

But who is keeping track.

President Trump has announced a new deal to buy diesel fuel from Russia—but as with any enticing Russian scheme, it comes with a catch, @davidfrum.bsky.social argues.
Trump Is an Easy Mark for Putin
The president’s diesel deal sells out Ukraine, and does nothing for Americans.

The @houstonchronicle.com posted this video and it's pretty jarring. No matter that he was fleeing, law enforcement officers may not use deadly force on someone who poses no significant risk of death or serious injury to others.

Deliberately hitting someone with a car is a use of deadly force.

Twice he's asked about the risk of creating a martyr. Twice his answer is "no one has to watch it." Which is, obviously, not remotely an answer to the question.
BRENNAN: Nidal Hasan is in a wheelchair. Doesn't the administration risk livestreaming this and making him a martyr? Couldn't this be a risk to the homeland?

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: No one has to watch it

B: Well then why are you livestreaming it?

“America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine…Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine.”

I briefed him as Vice President. He’s right. Lifting sanctions doesn’t buy peace. It funds the war.

Threatening to cut off intel to a country fighting for its life, while handing oil money to the invader, isn’t diplomacy. It’s betrayal.

A year ago, the president told Ukraine to hit Russia’s refineries and “make them feel the pain.” Now he threatens to cut off U.S. intel.

I think this analysis is correct. Reports out of Russia for the last six weeks show huge diesel shortages and long lines of cars trying to get it. Russia doesn't have the diesel Trump says he's buying for them. This is all for another purpose, which is psy ops.
