To a real estate guy, "drain the swamp" means destroy the wetland ecosystem and exploit the land for profit.

Isn't Trump's agency here just agreeing to drop sanctions? Of course Putin is *willing* to sell diesel, if he can manage to produce it.

Or the vaguest idea of what modern medicine costs. He seems to think he could send everyone a couple thousand bucks and that would pay all their doctor, prescription and hospital bills for life.

Russia just bought large quantities of diesel from South Korea because it has run out of the fuel. Could Putin be defrauding a gullible Donald J Trump? Perish the thought!

Putin throws lifeline to try to save Trump in the midterms. In return, American dollars go to Russia and get put toward killing innocent Ukrainians. Trump/Russia right out in the open. www.dailymail.com/news/article...

Sadly this is a time-honored cop tactic. Also: step in front of a moving car and claim the driver was trying to hit you.

This - along with ICE brutality and Trump's violent rhetoric about Somali and other minorities - is all designed to stir up blood lust among the rabid MAGA/Nazi types for post-election insurrection.

Any time a news outlet reports what Trump says, it should immediately add: "We'll believe it when we see it."

No reason to believe anything he says, ever, about anything.

Absolutely! "Trump says" = "Liar says."

Remember when gun-rights types would say "we don't need new gun-control laws, just enforce the ones on the books"? Of course, this regime won't do that, either.

We're so far through the looking glass that we have to consider the chance of a false flag "attack" against Trump to rally support for him and his war.

R. Bell @robtbell.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Right! Ridiculous to describe this as part of negotiations for an end to the Ukraine war. It's just a business deal tying the USA and the Trump gang more tightly to Putin.

R. Bell @robtbell.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Wait - Talks about the Ukraine war "expanded" to include a giant oil deal that has nothing to do with Ukraine? Seems that peace talks were *set aside* to talk about an oil deal instead.

"Defying Democrats" by misappropiating funds, violating the law, breaking his oath to take care the laws are faithfully executed. Does WaPo think the Constitution and rule of law are just Dem Party preferences?

R. Bell @robtbell.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Ridiculous framing, as if the Constitution and rule of law are just Dem Party preferences, and King Donald can override them at his whim.

Of course, since the entire Trump administration is in thrall to Putin.

WHY should we NOT assume that DOGE was a sabotage operation to benefit our adversaries?

Absolutely! They are DHS officials. "Hearing officers" would be more correct. "Flunkies" would be even more accurate.

But that won't stop Republicans from claiming that noncitizens voted and that GOP defeats are fraudulent.

R. Bell @robtbell.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

What he's saying is, if Republicans lose it's because the voting wasn't "SAFE" from fraud. Part of the GOP plot to reject the election results.

I have zero doubt that this means Trump will be taking sides in gang wars - collecting payoffs from GangA to use our military against rival GangB.

9/11 was the day that broke America so badly that Trump could become president.

If Ds win enough seats to have a comfortable margin in the Senate, they should expell Fetterman from their caucus.

It's going to be uniform across the GOP - claims that "illegals" are voting for Democrats and any D victories are fraudulent.
