The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded yesterday. Not to Donald Trump (r).

“President Putin responds to President Trump not winning the Nobel Peace Prize…”

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Thank you to President Putin!

This morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He’s playing with fire!

Maybe if you hold your breath, Donald (r).

“Absolutely” crazy, eh?

This evening:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever. I’ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that’s proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia! Likewise, President Zelenskyy is doing his Country no favors by talking the way he does. Everything out of his mouth causes problems, I don’t like it, and it better stop. This is a War that would never have started if I were President. This is Zelenskyy’s, Putin’s, and Biden’s War, not “Trump’s,” I am only helping to put out the big and ugly fires, that have been started through Gross Incompetence and Hatred.

Attorney General, cabinet, Director of National Intelligence, Donald Trump, failing upward, Fascist pigs, Matt Gaetz, participation trophy, right wingnuts, Tulsi Gabbard, useful idiots, Vladimir Putin, WTF?

Dr. Emmett Brown: Then tell me, future boy, who’s President of the United States in 1985?
Marty McFly: Ronald Reagan.
Dr. Emmett Brown: Ronald Reagan? The actor?
[chuckles in disbelief]
Dr. Emmett Brown: Then who’s vice president? Jerry Lewis?
[rushing out and down a hill toward his laboratory]
Dr. Emmett Brown: I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady!
Marty McFly: [following Doc] Whoa. Wait, Doc!
Dr. Emmett Brown: And Jack Benny is secretary of the treasury.
Marty McFly: [outside the lab door] Doc, you gotta listen to me.
Dr. Emmett Brown: [opens the door to the lab] I’ve had enough practical jokes for one evening. Good night, future boy!

Director of National Intelligence:

David Corn ‪@davidcorn.bsky.social‬
Donald Trump has just picked Tulsi Gabbard, a Putin stooge and a promoter of Russian propaganda, to be in charge of the entire US intelligence community. Will any Republican senator be concerned about this?
November 13, 2024 at 3:30 PM

Adam Kinzinger ‪@adamkinzinger.bsky.social‬
Tulsi Gabbard for DNI, a Russian spy. Brilliant
November 13, 2024 at 2:21 PM

Judah Grunstein ‪@judah-grunstein.bsky.social‬
Tulsi Gabbard as DNI means Five Eyes just became Four Eyes for the next four years.

Anthony Michael Kreis
‪@anthonymkreis.bsky.social‬
Tulsi Gabbard as DNI? There’s not even a pretense of responsibility from Trump. We might as well just sign up to be a Russian client state.
November 13, 2024 at 2:19 PM

We will be in January.

Attorney General:

Brian Tyler Cohen ‪@briantylercohen.bsky.social‬
My God. Matt Gaetz nominated as Attorney General.
November 13, 2024 at 2:30 PM

illumi ‪@illumi.meme‬
Matt Gaetz has been training for this role as Attorney General since he was a teenager. Google “Matt Gaetz 17 year old” to learn more.

Joyce Vance ‪@joycewhitevance.bsky.social‬
Matt Gaetz is not qualified to be AG. Full stop.

I’m tempted to say America is fucked.

But I think she’s too old for Matt Gaetz.

“Россия” (Russia) – a variant of the Russian presidential flag.

Just another sock puppet for Vladimir Putin

4th Congressional District, Donal Trump, former newsreader, Mark Alford, missouri, right wingnut, social media, sock puppet, Ukraine, useful idiot, Vladimir Putin

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Congressman Mark Alford
[February 27, 2024]
As far as I’m concerned, I’m a no-go for additional Ukraine funding.
We have yet to receive answers from Zelensky regarding what victory looks like.
Is it reclaiming Donbas and Crimea, or returning to Ukraine’s pre-1991 borders?
Unless we receive these answers, this remains a no-go.
[….]

You might want to remember that in the future when someone you know is in a muddy trench in the Fulda Gap screaming in terror while looking up at approaching Russian tanks.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

Some of the responses:

So – you hate any version of democracy or just American democracy? (FYI – any version of theocracy is NOT any kind of democracy – republic or otherwise.)

Putin is so proud of you comrade Mark Afraid!

This guy is one of the many things that’s wrong with Congress.
He supports Trump and Putin.

So a yes-go to Putin? The same Putin who paid the Taliban to murder US Soldiers?

Just like we ignored Hitler, huh? Ukraine didn’t start this. How do you start with an end in mind when you are invaded? Turning your backs on our allies. Shame on you all!

It’s all about making the democrats look bad at all costs. Mark gets his marching orders from the Trump Dump.

As a mother of a Army Soldier and Aunt of an Air Force Airman this disgusts me.
You want to put American lives in jeopardy because of the GOP’s ties to Russia.
You insult the Military.
Whose side are you on?

“Россия” (Russia) – a variant of the Russian presidential flag.

Asked and answered.

BoneSpurs Draft Dodger and the MAGA GOP Congress members are on Putin’s side. Trump wants the power of a dictator. Mainly to get out of his illegal activities and to fleece the American people out of more money.
[….]

Just another TROLL with nothing to prove you are who you claim to be. I’m wondering are YOU the Russian? There is nothing to PROVE you are not.

Over $692,000,000 of Ukraine funding has gone to MISSOURI businesses.

Just hand Ukraine over to Russia, Mark. That’s what you’re doing.

Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union not long ago.

And I thought Mark posted stupid comments.

Arizona was part of Mexico not long ago. Come to think of it, so were California, New Mexico, and Texas. Louisiana was a part of France. Alaska was a part of Russia.

Why do you think the Ukrainians are fighting so hard to get the Russians out of their country? Why do you think the Baltic nations and Poland are rearming? They know what it means to be occupied by Russia. They’ll die fighting before submitting to Russian domination again.

They currently are.

I urge you to reconsider your position. A Russian victory in Ukraine will encourage further adventures by Russia, China, and others. It is time for the Western Democracies to stand strong together. An isolationist policy will make us more vulnerable militarily and economically. Ukraine has been clear in its objectives: to expel Russia from Ukraine and reestablish the border as it was in 2014. Failing to support Ukraine will be disastrous to American foreign policy moving forward.

Putin pulling your strings?
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME.

What’s the plan for when Russia takes over Ukraine and moves on to the next European country?

Listen to the screams in the Fulda Gap.

The House Putin Caucus has spoken. Ah, we probably won’t ever need NATO for anything.

Article 5 of the NATO treaty has only been invoked once in its existence – on October 4, 2001. To support the United States.

They’re fighting for their lives. They don’t know about tomorrow for Christ sake. Resign.

You are a putin puppet.

Putin loving useful idiots says what?

all in fealty to your orange odorous jesus.

who gave you the notes you used to make this comment? Because it’s certainly nothing you came up with on your own. #Traitor #UnfitToServe #PutinsBitch

I am a “NO GO” for your next election!

GOP = Goverment Of Putin

what’s the plan when Putin invades the next European country? How many countries you willing to give him?

About what I expect from you.
Zelinsky put out his demands before he entertains peace talks in December, 2022.
He wants Crimea, Donbas, and all other territory russia has taken since they started the war.
Do you read mark?
Do you have someone to help you read?
mark, just admit they you’re anti-America and a putin lap dog like donny, your hero.

Putin thanks you.

Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, corruption, Donald Trump, impeachment, social media, testimony, Twitter, Vladimir Putin

Ah, Vladimir Putin is calling the tunes.

“Россия” (Russia) – a variant of the Russian presidential flag.

This morning, while Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch is testifying in Congress:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors.

He really is that stupid.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
