Kimberly Guilfoyle (KG) and Pete Hegseth prove whether personal loyalty appears to have outweighed professional suitability. It seems everyone except the head of the CIA.

Does this support my theory about a Russian bargain?

The key fact is that Zelenskyy has sought permission for Ukraine to use Starlink to target Russian ballistic-missile launchers inside Russia, and Musk has resisted granting that permission. On 14 October, new restrictions disrupted some Ukrainian drone operations.

Musk sees future commercial opportunities in Russia Putin has privately promised Musk access to Russia's market in exchange for favourable conduct ?? Plausible ??

Could Musk's decisions over Starlink be influenced by the prospect of a lucrative Russian market once the war ends, rather than simply by his stated views on escalation?

4. Tariffs: taxing imports to make America richer 5. Ukraine: alienating the country resisting Putin 6. Claiming a ceasefire before establishing that one exists 7. Pressuring Ukraine to stop attacking Russian refineries while buying Russian diesel 8. Making allies question commitments are dependable

Did Trump ever obtain a durable strategic gain, or did he create a problem that then required another decision? 1. Iran: entering a war without a sustainable endgame 2. Russia: buying diesel from Putin to relieve an energy crisis 3. The Ft Hood shooter: turning an execution into a spectacle ....

Proof Trump does not think first. The political gamble of leveraging foreign policy (cut data sharing) with Ukraine to influence domestic energy prices (will not happen) ahead of the midterms involves a severe disconnect between political intent and economic /geopolitical reality (stupidity).

MSM will pay a price. Avoiding mainstream media altogether is a choice a lot of people make precisely because of the exhaustion with the lack of courage

The danger is not that truth has disappeared. It is that truth is losing its power to produce consequences. THE POWER OF NO SHAME.

And there is a particularly damaging international consequence. No one sees American announcements as reliable - it is just a sh&tshow. The danger is not that truth has disappeared. It is that truth is losing its power to produce consequences. The power of NO SHAME.

"The ceasefire effect” a trump phenomenon: An announcement becomes a substitute for an outcome. The contradiction gets less attention than the announcement. The media's capacity to hold the president accountable no longer exists. How a president can cow a media without censoring it.

I fixed my PHONE. If you're on an unlocked OnePlus with an MVNO, you fall through every crack: MVNO assumes the phone handles WiFi, OnePlus assumes the carrier handles it, and the error code is ER082 instead of "hey, we need your address."

Look, laws, judges are just for show. Look no further than the new law passed by Congress to add sanctions on Russia on top of the 2022 law banning Russian Oil imports. Why not, import diesel, cut sanctions.

Oh I found something worse than cyber attacks. CrowdStrike wouldn't be able to help Yandex out of this particular bind. Yandex's recent struggles stem from physical drone strikes hitting its major data center hubs.

One day Zelensky will tell us all what he was really thinking. Trump will never do this because he does not think.

I missed the bit in Sen Graham's bill where it says "unless Trump wants to lift sanctions and buy diesel", I guess the SCOTUS can see it?

Anyone getting the feeling that the executive branch is sidestepping or minimizing Congress? Delayed compliance with transparency mandates of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, wielding unilateral trade and sanctions levers, or reversing the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act.

Rather than celebrating the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 (which he signed into law on September 18, 2026), Trump did a sharp about-face. I guess Sen Graham's sister will be pissed? I guess we will never know if she loses.

Seeing Trump is a genius we should name Super Intelligence after him, TI. What you all think?

President Ronald Reagan’s approach to dealing with the Russians is best encapsulated by his famous philosophy: "Trust, but verify" (Doveryai, no proveryai) "We may have to start in small ways, but start we must..."

We are lost? The White House press pool—The major U.S. news outlets seem to crowd around the same single beat rather than spreading out resources. Except the odd hurricane there is nothing worth covering.

I doubt Putin checked with anyone before the phone call. He is in the process of learning Russia can't do this. Just conmen at work.

The massive gap in human capability—why some individuals achieve mastery and excel in their fields, while others struggle or fail completely. I am thinking of a rocket scientist compare to how useless Trump is at managing the USA. I am sure being a great conman helps fool his voters but thats all.
