Good for you to fire back at him that he’s a terrible president. In fact, add corrupt and an incompetent leader

Voters: please choose candidates from the Democratic Party. Time to restore the cuts that Republicans cowtowing to Trump enacted, which are hurting people trying to survive 💯❤️
New records show the company that owned a vacant private prison in Appleton, Minnesota offered to sell it to the state in 2025 for $75 million. One year later, the Trump administration agreed to use TAXPAYER funds to buy the same abandoned prison from CoreCivic Inc for a whopping $495.6 million. 🤬 See article in comments ⬇️

A Republican who served with Ken Paxton in the State House broke with Ken Paxton since he feels Talarico will be much better.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, James Talarico just unveiled a last minute endorsement from a Republican who served with Ken Paxton in the State House. Every Texan needs to see this.

All these Russian military officers would all be alive if Putin didn’t invade Ukraine!
Putin’s Russia has lost at least 9000 officers in Ukraine. This lowest minimum figure is confirmed by publicly available Russian sources (obituaries, funerals, plaques...) In the 1708 days of the Russian invasion, the average has remained stable at around 5 officers added per day

“Centuries of legal precedent affirmed the authority of Congress to place limits ​on the executive branch's ability to remove so-called inferior officers. ✅ The Administration's argument should not unsettle the very equilibrium established by this nation's constitutional system”

Americans are paying significantly higher gas prices due to the war, Trump on Saturday in Georgia bragged that U.S. oil and gas companies are making hundreds of billions of dollars. Trump’s holdings of fossil fuel stocks have increased substantially. 😖 cbsnews.com/news/trump-oil-g…

The latest proof is abandoning Lyndsey Graham’s sanctions bill against Russia passed with bipartisan support. 😳😳 And then planning to negotiate with China and Russia about ‘Settling’ the war without Ukraine. 😳😖👎

Why has Trump praised Putin removing sanctions from a near-unanimous Lindsey Graham bill ! 🤔😳😖
A baby girl was killed in her stroller today by a Russian drone strike in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv Region. Her name was Anhelina. Her mother died as well. ​An absolutely barbaric strike on a park full of families with children. ​6 people have been confirmed killed so far, including other children.

Blast our administration for siding with Russia and ordering diesel from them.
BREAKING: GLOVES OFF! President Zelenskyy RIPS into Trump's monstrous diesel deal with Putin as a "betrayal" and warns that he is not on "the right side of history." And he was just getting warmed up... "It appears that President Trump, to quote a phrase that we would use over here, has thrown you under the bus," Piers Morgan said to the Ukrainian President during an interview. "He's done this diesel deal with Vladimir Putin, having just announced renewed sanctions, which people find inexplicable. And now you have a situation where President Trump announced an energy ceasefire, and within hours Vladimir Putin launches an absolute bombardment of Ukraine, aimed directly at your energy." "Do you feel betrayed by what has been happening?" Morgan asked. "Really, yes. Really, between us," said Zelenskyy. "But it's a little bit more complicated than just my emotions or my feelings. Our country has to survive." Trump recently blindsided Ukraine, our European allies, and the American people who oppose Russia's brutal invasion by announcing a "deal" to let Putin flood the global markets with millions of barrels of diesel. He has tried to spin it as a win, but it's nothing more than cowardly capitulation, a desperate attempt to wrestle down out-of-control gas prices ahead of the midterm elections. Those gas prices, ironically and tragically enough, are a direct result of his disastrous, pointless Iran War. Trump created this problem, then stabbed an ally in the back to "fix" it. Now, the Kremlin will get a massive influx of new cash to help fund their war machine and slaughter more innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children. "When you found out that President Trump had done this deal with Putin, twenty-one days after new sanctions, what was your immediate response to that?" asked Morgan. "It's a pity that we are losing a strong partner," Zelenskyy said bluntly. "So this is my opinion." "You think you're losing America?" asked Morgan. "Yeah. But not because of us. We can't be weak, otherwise we can't survive," said Zelenskyy. "We are not selling our country. Look, guys, it's not about business for us. It's just our life. And this is our country, it's our body. So our home, our children. And this is very important for us." "That's why it's painful when President Trump chooses one side, not our side," he continued. "But we are okay that he's in the middle. But if you're in the middle, you have to stay in the middle. Not on the wrong side. I think his advisors are wrong. I don't know who is pushing him not to the right side. This is not the right side of history." Notice how masterfully Zelenskyy phrased his attack. He condemned Trump's actions as a betrayal, shaming him, but then gave the egomaniacal American President a way out by suggesting that his advisors are to blame and that he can still reverse course. The reality, of course, is that this "deal" is fully Trump's responsibility because he's the one sitting behind the Resolute Desk. This betrayal is a result of his incompetence, his self-interested desire to lower gas prices at any cost, and the fact that he is a creature pathologically incapable of loyalty. History will judge him accordingly. Please ❤️ and share if you think that history will vilify Trump and Putin!

☝️ Meloni Put Trump in His Place Over Ukraine. Today, October 14, 2026, during a speech in the Italian Senate in Rome, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni sharply criticized the U.S. agreement on Russian diesel fuel previously announced by Donald Trump. She warned that while Russian bombs continue to fall on Ukrainian cities, Moscow could receive new revenues to finance its war. Easing sanctions pressure only plays into the Kremlin's hands, giving the aggressor additional resources to continue the bloodshed. "This is a decision that I consider very risky," Meloni declared. Moreover, the Italian prime minister made it absolutely clear that Rome has no intention of turning its back on Ukraine. Supporting Kyiv, increasing pressure on Moscow, and maintaining unity among Western allies remain fundamental principles of Italy's position. Peace cannot be built by making concessions to an aggressor that continues to kill Ukrainians. Every weakening of pressure on the Kremlin risks bringing more deaths and destruction to Ukraine.
