Jeez, since when do you take Russians by their word? These guys have been promised 'deals' by the Russians and are equally taking these promises as real. They are willing to throw anybody or anything under the bus in an attempt to get their grubby fingers on illearned gains. It's painfully obvious.

Leaders of both parties should be calling for Witkoff's immediate resignation after these remarks. He is a Russian patsy, a traitor, and this has just gone for too long. It is has to end.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Peter Mandelson, the Russian superyacht and the scandal we completely misread When Britain's most powerful political fixer was caught on an oligarch's boat in Corfu, we called it Yachtgate and moved on. The Epstein files now reveal the full picture: a web of Russian money, paed...

We are just begin to get an inkling of how deeply embedded Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair were/are with the sinister rich. Every time you think you've seen the worst of it, something else emerges.

We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.

Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.

Accountability is essential in a just society.
History will ultimately catch up with Trump and his family.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark America’s birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, we’re getting screwed and he’s getting rich.

Warning: The Chaos President THRIVES on Chaos Failed wars have tail risks for democracy.

"If Trump were a 'normal' president with high net negatives, he’d get a normal result this November. But he’s not. He looks to create chaos. He understands chaos creates opportunities for himβ€”both political and legal. The war in Iran can help him on both fronts."

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February.

A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses.

Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt β€” an historic high.

Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025.

β€œGolden Age” for whom?

Trump is today telling every member of the US military that it is ok with him if Russia helps Iran kill them--every one.

Once again Americans, Trump looks at US military personnel as suckers and losers that he can sacrifice for his own glory and profit. This is who leads
