Trump is a miserable excuse for a human being. Somewhere inside of him there must be a spark that makes him human, and not just an animator’s escaped delusional, hateful monster. Or maybe not.
Somewhere, in the Kremlin vaults, is a file. In that file? There is something so awful that the ogre will do anything, anything to keep it from being released. Dollars to caviar, money is the answer, not little girls, they're a hobby, not reality. Not being President of the United States, It's just a means to an end. The end is money.
It would be a nice to be a Nobel Laureate and to join that very elite club of Roosevelt, Wilson, Carter, and Obama, but the real goal is money. The United States is a means to an end and also a get out of jail free card. How long will it take Justice to turn over the banking records to Sen. Wyden?
True, part of my hypothesis is based on the debacle of the Alaska meeting and the look of consternation on the faces of a meeting that shut down long before it was supposed to. What did Putin bring with him? What so rattled the US delegation. Putin's holding a royal flush.
I have long hated that describing the orange one's actions in plain factual language makes one sound like a rabid conspiracy theorist crackpot.
It is plain as day that Putin has something on Trump and is playing him like a fiddle. Once upon a time, I would have expected the rest of the government to have scenarios and plans for such a disaster.
Edit: On second thought, Trump is purely transactional, and he doesn't think any consequences can ever touch him. Putin might not be using threats.
Putin (one of the world's richest people) has probably promised him a bunch of things. Maybe $50 million, a Trump Tower in Donbas, and the Order of Putin award (made of solid gold of course) on the day Ukraine surrenders. Trump is probably wondering what Ukraine can offer, and so far it is mostly justice and a freer, safer world, which he doesn't care about.
Either way, as the midterms get closer, some R's will have to make some hard choices. All our work at Hopium and our other organizations will hopefully make it easier for them to choose wisely.
The source for Putin’s Epstein kompromat on Trump is rock solid. (This source definitely knows.). This may be very damning material - perhaps more graphic and unlawful than what we’ve seen so far - hard to say. This appears to be the key to Trump’s subservience. Trump literally takes dictation from Putin. This doesn’t happen just because of money.
According to someone who definitely knows, Putin has substantial Epstein kompromat on Trump. Therefore, Trump will do anything Putin demands. They have history together, and Putin knows where all the bodies are buried. Trump will knee-jerk to Putin's every command. Lesson to America: Do not install someone in our White House who can be blackmailed. Trump is a huge security risk for our nation.
Possible that it's a combination of things: def blackmail, but backed up by the Felon's weird obsession with and worship of dictators. He's a total freak about dictators and have you seen the way he looks at them? (Of course you have 😏.)
But bc of that and his bizarre reaction to Zohran Mamdani at the White House, I'm halfway convinced that he's a closet case and just can't face that idea. The way he looked at Mamdani was precious, just too precious.
The banking records can come from the banks. If the committee would get its $#/t together and issue subpoenas to the banks affected, the records would be made available.
I've gone over and over what the Felon must be afraid of, because he's def afraid of something. I can't imagine it's anything that's come out before, like little girls or r4pe bc he doesn't seem to care about that... UNLESS he's afraid of going to prison. That's one possibility.
But another is something I read months ago- that there's a sealed deal with an NDR where he hurt* a little boy (12 yo as I recall). He's a homophobe and a xenophobe, so a non-white boy maybe? That's a possibility too.
I'm just not sure that money is what he's worried about, bc a grifter can always get money. That's almost gospel, as I understand grifters. I tend to think it's more likely something that he fears will land him in prison, or maybe something that challenges his view of himself as a man 🤢 (sorry, I almost threw up there 🤢).
Russia appears to be weakening and losing, but we are still asking for Zelenskyy to make concessions? It is insane and becomes more insane as time goes on.
The Epstein files are a matter of national security. It may not be the sole factor here. But we need to know the truth so there is one fewer ways Putin has leverage.
Yes, those expressions were priceless. Payback earned.
The Saboteur likes to brag about making money off the war in Ukraine. His cavorting with Putin is disgusting. His lack of respect for President Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine is despicable. This is not OK. This is not normal.
In contrast, here is President Zelenskyy's recent FB post, as translated.
"I thank President Donald J. Trump for a great meeting. We had a substantive discussion on all issues, and we much appreciate the progress achieved by American and Ukrainian teams in recent weeks. Special thanks to Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for their engagement and full commitment, as well as to our team — first of all, to Rustem Umerov and Andrii Hnatov.
We discussed all the aspects of the peace framework and achieved significant results. We also discussed the sequence of further actions. We agreed that security guarantees are key on the path to achieving a lasting peace, and our teams will continue working on all aspects. We agreed that our teams would meet as early as next week to finalize all discussed matters. We also agreed with President Trump that he will host Ukrainian and European leaders in Washington, D.C., in January.
Why is Jared Kushner part of this team? Why does the MSM just ignore the fact that the only experience he has for these negotiations is from Trump's first term, when all he did was enrich himself and make shady deals. I get so angry when I think about just how much the MSM gives Trump a pass on everything - even demolishing a wing of the White House wasn't bad enough for the MSM to care much less cover it. I really hold the MSM responsible in great deal for the mess we are in now. I don't know how most of them can look at themselves in the mirror.
Trump and the Republicans have treated Zelenskyy horribly and have caused thousands of deaths. Russia does NOT want Ukraine to succeed . What nonsense. Putin started this war and he and Trump want the resources only. Period.
I think he practices in the mirror looking intense and intimidating. It's rare to see a photo of him when caught unprepared and looking goofy and small (as he really is).
Please suggest that President Zelenskyy that he stop meeting with Donald Trump. Trump is deranged and does not represent the values of a majority of American citizens. Ukraine needs to work with Canada and the EU and terminate any negotiations or meetings with DJT. I would wager that being the mercenary and transactionalist he is, Trump would still sell weapons to the EU (for Ukraine) if he can make money. CUT TRUMP OFF. HE IS PUTIN"S PUPPET and cannot be trusted. Ukraine Wins in 2026!
Yes, yes, yes! I so agree. Zelenskyy should stop wasting his time with the vile pack of weasels he's forced to meet with when he comes to town. Someday, after we've managed to rid ourselves of this horrible administration and every one of its groveling toadies and have replaced the whole kaboodle with nice, normal, moral, friendly, decent, sane, etc., etc., public servants, perhaps - if we're lucky - he'll stop by for a visit.
He’s ( Z) clearly playing their “ reasonable” game back to them. No other choice or be excluded from the table. He knows that and Putin knows that. Only trump is fooled ( IMO) that these are real discussions. Putin’s playing him, we all know it, Zelensky knows so has to play trump too, only trump believes his own bs. Yes disgusting and beyond ridiculous. Ukrainians are dying and trump forces Zelenskyy to dance or be kicked out of the club.
The trouble with that is that DT is very capable of acting out in a "self-righteous" rage if he deems Z is not sufficiently deferential and appreciative. Nothing is off the table with DT.
European weapons and aerospace manufacturers and satellite companies that you can invest in to support Ukraine and Europe in the fight against Russia include: Rheinmetall (RNMBY), Eutelsat (ETL.PA), Dassault Aviation (DUAVF), Saab AB (SAAB-B.ST), and Thales (THLLY).
Where are our Democratic leaders here? Knowing that nothing would come out of the meeting with Trump and his enablers ( the photo showing the usual suspects with Stephen Miller thrown in for good measure), Senator Schumer and Minority Leader Jeffries should have been prepared to hold their own press briefing standing solidly behind President Zelensky and saying they will do everything in their power in Congress to see that Ukraine gets aid and that sanctions on Russia will continue. There are enough Republicans left who also support Ukraine and who might have been asked to be included in such a press briefing to show that support for Ukraine is in fact bi- partisan even if Majority Leader Senator Thune and Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson are kowtowing to Trump. There have been any number of opportunities to come out publicly in support of President Zelensky but our Democratic Leaders are nowhere to be found. The Democratic Party needs to be shown that we are standing with the world’s democracies and specifically NATO, and that in contrast the President has totally abrogated his responsibility to the Alliance and to defending a democratic country in Europe by having thwarted aid to Ukraine since he took office.
Excellent post! Yes, knowing how shabbily he was likely to be treated by POTUS and posse, it would have been the civilized thing to do. How did he even get to the White House? Did he have to call an Uber? But back to the Dems: Are our Dem leaders and media even aware that many of us listen to a lot of Canadian media? And truly love some of their leaders? We also truly love Zelenskyy and will never forgive the treatment he's been given by SOME Americans.
I am not sure that it is Ukraines best interest to have democratic leaders vocally support them now. Republicans in Congress should step up because Ukraine is not a partisan issue. Most Americans of both parties support Ukraine now.
I think that's Hegseth there also, caught in a very unflattering angle. The hair looks like it's his. You know, the guy who's capable of committing war crimes and covering them up.
Exactly. It's infuriating. I would be okay with them leaving impeachment out but at least cover the treason, corruption, greed, lying, Putin ass kissing, the word salad coming out of his mouth , I could go on.
Did Ukraine and Europe expect a different result? I am not excusing that poor Orange excuse of a president but is anyone surprised? Disgusted, absolutely, but surprised? No.
This painful charade must end. Zelensky should stop being lured into talks with Trump and align with our former allies (NATO) because what’s really at stake is global containment of nuclear proliferation.
I’m pretty disgusted that not one Congressional Democrat showed up. I’ll be calling to voice my extreme disappointment and embarrassment that they couldn’t muster anyone to be physically present to greet Zolenskyy. It would have shown solidarity between the Ukrainians and the American people who still support Ukraine by and large.
I am nearly as furious with our media for reporting this BS as if it had anything to do with "peace," as I am at Trump for betraying the best and bravest of our time. We must keep working.
Trump is a miserable excuse for a human being. Somewhere inside of him there must be a spark that makes him human, and not just an animator’s escaped delusional, hateful monster. Or maybe not.

It also might be right here with our FBI

I remember those faces. Yet, the MSM? Nada

100%
Uhh….and maybe the Nobel Peace Prize for which he keeps dangling.
Just disgusted.
Stephen Miller’s expression always makes me think he has been spending his free time digging up graves.
I think he practices in the mirror looking intense and intimidating. It's rare to see a photo of him when caught unprepared and looking goofy and small (as he really is).
I think the evil oozes out of him.
Drugs maybe, there seems to be plenty around.
He could make himself useful by digging up Ivana's, at Trump's golf course, and find some missing classified documents tucked under her arms.
Send your support to Ukrainian Embassy at ukrembus@gmail.com, I did:

Zelenskyy is the most courageous world leader! And what patience. Love to see him get a Nobel Prize! He's got to hold on till Trump is gone.

Plane with Z and his team was met by the Ukrainian ambassador who first shakes his hand, a deputy and a colonel you see in the clip Simon posted

I thought he’s ready to bomb - somebody, anybody - just someone give him the word😡
WHY aren't the words Trump, treason, corruption, emoluments, impeachment EVER in mainstream media's common sentences these days? WHy?
Exactly. It's infuriating. I would be okay with them leaving impeachment out but at least cover the treason, corruption, greed, lying, Putin ass kissing, the word salad coming out of his mouth , I could go on.
Did Ukraine and Europe expect a different result? I am not excusing that poor Orange excuse of a president but is anyone surprised? Disgusted, absolutely, but surprised? No.

I think Zelensky knows but I guess he feels he has to appear to be participating.
I’m pretty disgusted that not one Congressional Democrat showed up. I’ll be calling to voice my extreme disappointment and embarrassment that they couldn’t muster anyone to be physically present to greet Zolenskyy. It would have shown solidarity between the Ukrainians and the American people who still support Ukraine by and large.
They would have had to fly to Florida and rightfully expected the feds would appropriately greet the President of Ukraine.
I am nearly as furious with our media for reporting this BS as if it had anything to do with "peace," as I am at Trump for betraying the best and bravest of our time. We must keep working.
I feel the same. It's all BS and the MSM is enabling Trump and his goons. They are amplifying the false narrative.
I so admire President Zelenskyy—the true Leader of the Free World!
