SPEAKER 3
Donald Trump is having a meltdown this morning as Ukrainian President Zelensky is standing up to Donald Trump and not submitting. Donald Trump making this post on his social media platform, calling Zelensky, quote, a dictator who better move fast or he is not going to have a country left.

Donald Trump threatening Zelensky and Ukraine, just outright overt threats on social media. Let me read for you this entire post that Donald Trump made this morning. He goes, think of it a modestly successful comedian, Voldemort Zelensky. Talk the United States of America. into spending 350 billion dollars to go into war that couldn't be won that never

had to start but a war that he without the u.s and quote trump will never be able to settle just pause right there what a despicable dastardly thing to say right there as though zelinski scammed the us no donald russia unlawfully invaded ukraine And Russia and Putin want to take over Europe.

Trump Spirals in Morning from Hell...Does Putin's Bidding

A desperate, unhinged Trump spews Kremlin propaganda while Zelensky stands firm.

Donald Trump woke up today and did what he does best—parrot Russian propaganda while embarrassing himself on social media. This time, he took aim at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a “dictator” and threatening that he “better move fast or he is not going to have a country left.” That’s not just deranged—it’s dangerous. Trump is openly siding with Vladimir Putin, attacking a U.S. ally, and signaling to the world that if he ever gets near power again, he’ll sell out Ukraine (and America) to the highest bidder.

Let’s be clear: Zelensky isn’t a dictator. He’s the democratically elected leader of a country fighting for its survival against an illegal Russian invasion. But that’s not how Trump sees it—because Trump sees the world through Putin’s eyes. In Trump’s twisted reality, defending democracy is bad, but cozying up to authoritarian thugs? That’s good.

Trump also vomited out some nonsense about Zelensky “scamming” the U.S. into spending money on Ukraine’s defense. No, Donald—Russia unlawfully invaded Ukraine, and stopping Putin’s aggression isn’t just about Ukraine, it’s about preventing another World War. The real scam is Trump himself—a grifter who thinks America should be a cash grab for his corrupt billionaire buddies while democracy crumbles.

And then, of course, Trump went full conspiracy theory, claiming Zelensky “admits half the money we sent him is missing.” That is a blatant, Kremlin-backed LIE. Zelensky said nothing of the sort, and Trump is once again acting as Putin’s personal mouthpiece. It’s no wonder Zelensky himself just called Trump out for living in a Russian “disinformation space.” That was polite. The truth is, Trump IS the Russian disinformation machine.

And let’s talk about Trump’s absurd claim that he alone could “end the war in 24 hours.” We’ve heard this before. It’s a scam, just like everything else with Trump. His “peace” plan is simple—hand Ukraine to Putin on a silver platter. This isn’t leadership; it’s cowardice.

The bottom line: Trump is not just an embarrassment—he’s a direct threat to global stability. Every single Republican enabling him should be ashamed. They shake Zelensky’s hand in public, then turn around and support Trump’s pro-Putin agenda in private. It’s pathetic.

Trump and his MAGA enablers must be called out every single day. We outnumber them. We outwork them. We fight for truth and democracy while they cling to lies and corruption.

It’s on us—We the People—to make clear that none of this is normal. We will never ‘sane-wash’ Trump’s deranged behavior, unlike the corporate media. We will make clear that he is a traitor and nothing more than Putin’s puppet. Let’s keep fighting.

Carol-Ann, perhaps I misread TimothyRichley’s post because I thought he was genuinely praising Zelenskyy who was put down by Trump as just a comedian. And frankly, as Democrats, we are perhaps too harsh on our own when they make a mistake while MAGAts have the audacity to put a rapist in the WH and approve the appointment of all kinds of low life. I hope that Timothey’s criticism of Democrats in congress was simply voicing frustration with the present situation. I believe that they are doing the best they can. How frustrating it must be to maintain your integrity while battling people with no integrity or honesty. I truly applaud them for their work. As far as Colbert and Stewart, I stand by what I said that their intelligence and honesty puts them head and shoulders above the current president and all the lying sycophants that do his bidding. If I was the one misreading the original post, I regret liking and responding to it.

You make an excellent point. It is hard for Latinos to recognize the difference between Castro and a democratic socialist like Bernie.

The influence of Roy Cohn in forging Trump's personality is too often forgotten.

In the movie “The Apprentice”, Sebastian Stan portrays a young Donald Trump determined to make his mark in 1970s New York. Reflecting on what he saw in Trump, Stan said in a New York Times story. “What I’ve always seen in his journey, and certainly we were exploring in the film, was the solidifying of a person into stone, the loss of humanity.”

Despite his public efforts to appear amiable and open, Donald J. Trump is a cold-hearted vindictive man.

Well, any suggestions you have on how we can do that before the next election would be deeply appreciated. Our federal judges have made some favorable rulings, but let's hope the dictator wannabe doesn't attempt to fire all of them, too. And if cases are referred to the Supreme Court, it is anybody's guess on how that is going to turn out. Many loyal Americans have been protesting the madness. Right now the only option I feel I have is to write to my three members of Congress, and that seems like a waste of time since all are Republicons, including one of the newest ones who is a former used car salesman. (No surprise that none of them have responded to me.). Oh, and I do make small donations to organizations trying to stop the madness like the American Civil Liberties Union.

This is off topic (and Ukraine is incredibly important) but this happened late yesterday. People need to be talking about this. Trump's latest executive order establishes a total unified Executive as meaning the authority of the President.

All federal agencies now come under the supervision and overall jurisdiction of the White House with the exception of the Federal Reserve in its application of monetary policy (it's primary role as a central bank) but not in relation to oversight of financial institutions. The Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) shall provide guidance and supervision to all regulatory agencies in how they function. All report to the President.

"Moreover, all executive departments and agencies, including so-called independent agencies, shall submit for review all proposed and final significant regulatory actions to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the Executive Office of the President before publication in the Federal Register." This includes the Federal Elections Commission.

"The Director of OMB shall, on an ongoing basis review independent regulatory agencies’ obligations for consistency with the President’s policies and priorities." It also looks like the Director of the OMB, under the authority of the President, can "apportion" appropriations for any agency according to whether their performance is consistent with the President's policies and priorities. This includes withholding funds for specific projects.

Finally, "The President and the Attorney General, subject to the President’s supervision and control, shall provide authoritative interpretations of law for the executive branch. The President and the Attorney General’s opinions on questions of law are controlling on all employees in the conduct of their official duties. No employee of the executive branch acting in their official capacity may advance an interpretation of the law as the position of the United States that contravenes the President or the Attorney General’s opinion on a matter of law, including but not limited to the issuance of regulations, guidance, and positions advanced in litigation, unless authorized to do so by the President or in writing by the Attorney General."

It's put in the legalistic language of the Constitution, but the meaning of this Executive Order is clear. Trump has just declared himself to be a dictator.

Yes, we're aware. Some of us. A lot, actually.

He won a plurality (NOT a majority) of the popular votes cast - and keep in mind the substantial number who couldn't be bothered to cast a vote at all (I apologize on behalf of the country for the impact of the apathetic ones).

Trump is nothing more than a soulless puppet doing Putin’s bidding. We see how easy it is to manipulate Trump. If Trump were to ever try anything funny against Putin, Putin likely has his ways to slowly and painfully destroy Trump and his goons.

Dictators do not share power, so Putin will likely destroy Trump once his use is up. Would be amusing to see Trump throw a temper tantrum only to then get an iron fist to the face from Putin’s army.

By rolling over for Putin in exchange for nothing, the US has quickly become irrelevant to European, and probably world, security concerns. The EU will have to pick up the pieces in Europe and China will do the same in the rest of the world.

This is the saddest day of a very sad year. My dad, a veteran and lifelong Republican, died at 91 last year. He had warned for years that if Trump became President again he would destroy our international relationships as well as destroying his beloved country. He also said Trump will refuse to leave office this time around. My dad hadn't voted for a Republican in many years but kept his membership in the Republican party so he could call up his representatives in NY and have a voice. I am grateful that he instilled the values of giving back, of generosity, of diversity (yep), inclusion, equality, and all the things he felt made America the best country in the world. I miss him deeply but am glad he doesn't have to see the betrayal of our allies and the onslaught being waged against true American values.

Mine is supposed to come Saturday; I cannot live without it, unfortunately. What effects did the Not My President's Day protests have or is it too early to tell? Is anyone tracking Nero's golfing games? Taxpayer expenses to accommodate AF1 and his other jaunts to MAL etc.? Price of groceries and gas? (Mine here in CA have gone up in the past month)

I'd like to know why so many high ranking administrators who are quitting on moral grounds, rather than violate the law which I do understand, but then that is leaving voids that the OG is filling with his own sycophants?

I understand why they retired. It would be hell to feel forced to do things that were unethical and illegal. If they stayed and stood behind their values they would have ended up getting fired.

As to replacements. How many of them even know what they are doing? I suspect that they will make a shambles of everything that they touch. Generally, in any agency, one rises to the top that has experience and knows what they are doing and know how to do the job.

How stupid is it to fire the nuclear people? How stupid to fire the bird flu people?They at least figured out right away that it was stupid and called them back.

Thanks Susan. I understand your points, well taken. I honor the integrity of those who left because they wouldn’t capitulate. Very important!

It is stupid but the thing is, they do not care! They do not care about the American people. But I agree, and hope, that when it gets bad enough — cuz we have not hit bottom yet — then more people (especially those who voted for him for lower prices) will join us and the people’s rebellion will be at hand.

When you mentioned A/B...level people it reminded me of something I was told or read or who knows where I heard it, maybe in a class?

What it amounted to was that when employers looked at what grades people had gotten in school they usually were more interested in hiring the B levels. If I recall correctly it was because they would be more practical -- or something like that. A's were great so far as ideas went; but, their application of them was impractical.

Looks to me that most of the new hires all fall in the D and F range.

Russia has shown it is nothing but a paper tiger, given it couldn't defeat the Ukraine. Yet Trump continues to bend his knee to Putin, while spitting on American Allies and at the same tome suggesting Russia be brought into the G7 + 1.

He was the only President to meet with Putin behind closed doors with no advisors in the room. Trump holds all the cards yet is playing to allow Russia to win.

There is something terribly wrong with this dynamic. Where the hell are the Republicans on this.

Geez, Trump is using an old lie. Putin used the same line on Z people to validate starting the war against Ukraine. Surprisingly, the authoritarian's playlist doesn't have many lines. They all do the same fear, anger, cruelty, and oppression. Authoritarians do things like start a war [or many wars], take away people's rights/money/healthcare. Authoritarians then blame the victim/s when they peacefully protest or speak out to stop them, or respond in kind as Ukraine was provoked to do.

Next, the authoritarians cryout loudly, "I'm a victim, woe is me", then accuse the actual victim as being the perpetrator. When there is 2 or 3 authoritarians operating as a tag team, it is exhausting. The actual victim is supposed to relinquish the fight even though they were protecting themselves.

Authoritarians want the victim/s to submit... and pay up or be quiet or concede with a white flag. Luckily, we aren't all inducted into these authoritarian cults yet. That is, despite many trolls and propaganda to fool us into believing the authoritarian's fake narratives. We have heard too many lies, seen too much cruelty from Trump and his buddies. I appreciate people who don't gaslight me.

Zelensky has more courage in his pinky finger than Mr. Bone spurs could ever have. Zelensky is loved by his people and people around the world for his incredible bravery while the orange dictator has made the U.S. a pariah right around the globe. Snuggling up to Putin, threatening sovereign countries and Vance making an ass of himself in Europe has absolutely cemented the "Buy Anything But American" movement across the globe. I believe that Trump and Putin plan to carve up the globe so that Trump takes over Canada and Mexico and Putin takes Europe and whatever else he can get his hands on. God help all of us but as Canadians we are going to fight like Hell to not let that happen. “Slava Ukraini” is a Ukrainian phrase that means “Glory to Ukraine”. It is a national salute and battle cry of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. SLAVA UKRAINI!!!

This is Fascism, out and out Fascism.

And the Supreme Court gave him the go ahead, said anything he does officially as President he is never criminally liable for.

He has Presidential Immunity even when he makes decisions and takes actions against the US Constitution.

He has been given the Green Light by SCOTUS

And the spineless Congressional Republicans, down to a person will NOT, cross him. He is running the country as a fascist mafia boss with threats and intimidation against anyone who dares cross him.

The very most we can expect from Republican Congress is that Susan Collins will be concerned.

Demanding repayment replicates the errors of the treaty ending WWI that pathed the way to WWII. Why when quoting statements about the start of the invasion of Ukraine analysts fail to mention that the first step came when Secretary of States Jim Baker's agreement with Gorbachev to allow reuniting Berlin if we agreed that NATO would not move east. American violated that agreement. We violated that agreement and that was the first step to the invasion of Ukraine and the predicate for the theft of Ukraine's minerals. The media lies by omission.

Ben, my dear, what would we do without you and your brothers. I thank you from deep within my heart. Jaime Raskin said we, the people, should bring a class action suit against Trump/Vance/Musk and, the entire administration for one trillion dollars. How can we get this started? Many people have expressed their interest in this to me.

I’ve been listening to you much longer than I’ve been a subscriber because, I watched you on television YouTube, and was watching when you were working on like 9,000 members. Finally, I got on line after being ill for a long time and I joined your Meidas Mighty. I was so touched with how Jordy came up with that name. You guys are so perfect together and your parents must be so proud.

Please remember something. Most of us on here fighting for our rights, are not wealthy. I’m supporting several channels and I really can’t afford not to at this point. I’m now thinking of my own show and have been for quite awhile. I want to make this point as delicate as possible. I love you guys. I love other’s you’ve brought to us, and the entire idea of “Transparency through News forums and journalism. But, lately you’ve been mentioning to us to help you get to 5 million subscriptions. I understand there are teams and everyone must get paid, but sometimes it’s a turn off to hear that all the time. I love you, buddy, but it is. I’ll continue to do my part, I just ask that you let up on the subscriber notification. Some of us have no subscribers yet, and I just started on substack. So, please understand I mean nothing derogatory about this, I just ask that you remember how much people are struggling now, and how much worse it’s going to get. I’ll be with you guys until the end of my life, which may be soon for millions of us, if RFK gets his way and makes prescription drugs and vaccines illegal! Imagine him, a junkie for 16 years, telling us what we should take to be healthy! It will be unbelievable mass confusion, violence and horrible watching those we love die because of their incompetence.

I know if he does this, people will go insane. Again, WE KNOW what our bodies need to function! If he does this, he will be destroying life all across the nation as we have never seen before. The same goes for Social Security! They should at least give the people what they put into it over years and years! It’s OUR MONEY! I think we should also bring charges against this administration for hiring completely inexperienced bodies to do the work of professionals that know what they’re doing! So, we should also sue for this fact.

Love you all,
