Poor Trump always living in the shadow of Obama... must be tough! substack.com/@politicsusa...

How does @nytimes.com know Republicans want to reign in Trump at all, what evidence is there? They've never tried to or said on record they want to - US media just adds an imaginary moral and ethical layer over Republicans they HOPE exists and then state its existence as a fact in stupid headlines.

It's hard to get it, it's not necessary to get it, the fake news want me to get it, I'm the one who wants to get it, we're gonna get it.

Weekend Update #184: A Most Revealing Parade open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

100% And by the look in putin's face during the parade - he knows it. That smug arrogant expression has been replaced with worry and depression! Ukraine is brilliant!

The Russian Navy held a #VictoryDay parade in the Black Sea.

Here we are, more than 4 years after Putin launched his 3-day war to conquer Ukraine, and the Russian dictator can only risk standing outside in Red Square after being given permission by Volodymyr Zelensky.

😂🇺🇦💪🔥

Dick head looks very tired and depressed - good!

Zelenskyy can just do a little bit of shooting, some love slaps, into exposed russian ships and planes and oil plants, and the ceasefire will still be a ceasefire according to Trump's Iran rationalle. It's a Trumpy style cease-BUT STIL FIRE-fire.

Zelenskyy is so clever - love him giving permission for russia to hold its little parade... the power shift is real!

That's why the grandfathers want to ban the internet... indeed!

Yay Aussies, we spent about AU$24k installing solar all over our roof in Sydney about 4 years ago and we've already paid that entirely off through electricity bill savings, during the summer months THEY have to pay US each month for our supply of electricity to the grid. Just do it America!

😂

It is wild to think that after years of war and over a million casualties, Putin is still at 0/23 for Ukrainian regional capital and special status cities. This is a staggering failure for a supposed superpower

😡

Midweek Update #9: One Thing Changes And It Is Not What You Think open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

1,337,170 russians dead - all so they could reduce their stupid federation to the most pathetic disrespected hated country on Earth!

I just HATE russia so much - are they even a legitimate country anymore, or a rogue terrorist regime!

Ha!

Ooh here we go, watching from Australia as he continues to try to rig the elections (again) in real time. It’s the same playbook - but will the media work it out in time? substack.com/@nadinbrzezi...

I really hope @juliusstrauss.bsky.social is right! Putin’s rule may be beginning to falter open.substack.com/pub/backfrom...

Disgusting terrorists who should NOT be let anywhere near sports, arts, chess or the civilized world until they stop causing terror to their neighbours!

OMG just invite Ukraine into the EU already - the EU would be privileged to have such a heroic peoples fighting for democracy! Be bold, stop Russia in its track by making it too late to reverse their accession!

So insightful on Iran from @phillipspobrien.bsky.social Midweek Update #8: Two Races Against Time open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Just so everyone's aware... very soon Trump's going to casually drop into a sentence that he doesn't really care about the "nuclear issue having to do with Iran" & in fact it might be good for Iran to be able to have a little bit of nuclear dust. That, my friends, is when we know the war's over!

Ukraine is putting relentless pressure on Israel now. The Netanyahu government has made a catastrophic error by siding with Putin's dictatorial government.

not sure if gets more Empire In Decline than a disastrously unpopular mentally decayed president — who different people of notably different political stripes keep trying to murder — as he is badly losing a horrifying foreign war he started on a pack of lies, won’t stop obsessing over a “ballroom”

💪🇺🇦🔥

News anchors like Katy Tur keep asking how we can find "common ground" in America. The answer is: You can't. If you believe in democracy, there's no common ground with fascists. You either surrender to them or you fight them.

Billionaires say they’re building bunkers because the apocalypse is coming but really it’s because people fucking hate them

Karoline Leavitt said "shots will be fired" before going into the WHCD, she should be fired too!

Yes this is what I think, building the ballroom to bunker down when he tries to hold onto power and the people rise up in a well regulated militia to take back their country - we're all just sitting here in Australia waiting for the final scene to play out!

He's a rapist and a pedophile, and a fraud, and he is going down soon I'm sure of it!

No modern president has glorified violence as much as this one

The historians of fascism also tell us that authoritarians who lead/dictate with those characteristics almost always die at the hands of violence (and many times by their own side). Violence begets violence. Hence wanting a hospital in a bunker under his ballroom. He knows!

Please please please remember this American media - and don't cheer him when he walks in. OMG American media is sto stupid, I can see it now!

Thou shalt not dine with fascist pedophiles.

Nobody seems to be able to take a clear shot at this guy - I thought Americans were good with their guns. Argh!

I actually can't believe the world is just letting Russia attack Ukraine for absolutely no reason over and over again for more than 4 years - what are we doing? The day the Russian Federation collapses is going to be a beautiful day for the world!

You little beauty!

Putin looks very very nervous and very very unsure of himself and very very stupid!

YES GO UKRAINE!!!

The Republicans have loved mixing religion and government — many are still working to get Catholic charter schools OK'ed by SCOTUS — until the Pope calls out the many ways in which the Trump administration is acting contrary to those religious principles.

OTD in 1990 Soviet Union admitted that Soviet Union carried out Katyn massacre. These are Soviet documents with Stalin personally approving the murder of 22,000 Poles. We blame(d) it on the Nazis. We lie(d). Imagine us committing atrocities today & blaming it on Nazis...
