Russia Rejects Trump's Temporary Ukraine Ceasefire Offer

[sharot724]

Putin Remains Committed to Controlling Ukraine, US Intelligence Reports

 

The intelligence reports do not assess US President Donald Trump’s diplomatic efforts to end the war or the prospects of a 30-day ceasefire proposal. However, they raise questions about whether the White House is accurately evaluating Putin’s willingness to seek peace.

The price of eggs will go down. Not happening, it’s gone up, by a lot.

The price of groceries will go down. Not happening, they’re going up.

Gas prices will go down. Not happening.

The price of your insurance will go down. Not happening.

I will end the Ukraine war in one day. Not happening.

 

Just a few promises Donald Trump made, and all of them have gone/are going down in flames. And still the MAGA sheeple are following Trump, like lemmings off a cliff. The mind boggles.

I am surprised Trump hasn't already blamed Zelinski for it! 

[spidermike007]

In terms of nasty and reckless moves, one that stands out for me is the gutting of U.S.A.I.D., because it’s illegal and because it’s so flagrantly immoral and utterly self-destructive.

 

During the first Trump term, I would sometimes have to catch myself because even though I thought and think that Trump is uniquely despicable and dangerous, the fact remains that if you just want to look at the number of lives lost and global damage done, George W. Bush really outstripped him. Trump is maybe a worse person, but the damage that he did in his first term was much more contained.

 

I think that in the second Trump term he’s changed that very quickly. Not just by taking America’s soft power and setting it on fire in all sorts of ways, but really making these abrupt decisions that are going to kill hundreds of thousands and maybe more than a million people and he’s doing it in this incredibly arbitrary, careless way.

 

I don’t think he has a coherent value structure as most of us understand it. I think we’re seeing a president who’s operating without anything any of us would recognize as a conscience. Truly.

 

It is about showing what he can get away with. It’s about showing his enemies that what they support, he can tear down. It is all about displays of brute strength. He gets off on that, and in that sense, it seems not so much an autocracy but a flexocracy. Let me show you how I can flex my bicep as I use it to power my fist coming into your face.

 

It’s not about any coherent values. It’s not about any North Star. It’s about showing that you can turn the boat 180 degrees around and that you can do whatever you want and you can bring the people who opposed you to their knees.

The 'I'll fix it on Day One' promise has been well broken, and is consigned to the dustbin of history.

Or consigned to the dustbin of thousands of Trump quotes!

Why would Putin agree to that anyway? He’s got Ukraine on the ropes, he might just take the whole thing. Biden’s gone and Zelensky is fresh out of American friends. Europeans are too cowardly to put troops in Ukraine and fight Putin on their own. Which they should be doing. Instead they beg a country across the ocean for help. 

Doesn't look like that to me half of his conscripts have done a runner to Phuket they have no appetite to fight the Ukrainians do.

[bannork]

As Trump realises persuading Putin ain't easy, he starts to parrot more and more the line, ' The war would never have started if I had been President.'

Everything is ego to the world's greatest narcissist, so watch this line get trotted out more and more as his stupid boasts about ending the war in 24 hours are shot down in flames

The drop in prices owes in part to sluggish demand for gas as the busy summer traveling season has given way to an autumn slowdown, experts said.

You do realize that it's spring time in the USA.   The travel season ends in Aug/Sept, and generally starts when the kids out of school.

Oil price are going down, as forecasted last year after the decision by SA to increase production in order to regain market share, as well as a decreasing demand.

https://www.rigzone.com/news/usa_eia_lowers_2024_and_2025_brent_oil_price_forecast-12-dec-2024-179013-article/

[sharot724]

The recent drop in prices is due to a classic imbalance between supply and demand, rather than expectations for a Trump-fueled surge in domestic oil production, Lipow said. OPEC+, a group of major oil-exporting nations, announced plans earlier this month to increase production over the next 16 months. And there are signs of weak demand for oil on the horizon, especially in China

You know who is a coward? Elon Musk who called Senator Mark Kelly a traitor, and the Republicans who said nothing.  Kelly was getting shot at over Iraq as a combat pilot and  Musk has the audacity to insult him. Republicans were afraid to say anything to Musk. That's what  cowards do.

So this guy served his country as a pilot in the military?  So what?  Was he born with a silver spoon in his mouth like Elon Musk?  Is he an immigrant who came to America illegally on a student visa but instead pulled a switcheroo and used Mommy and Daddy's money to start a company?  Does Mark Kelly even know how to cheat and game the system?  I don't think so. 🤣

 

Anyone else noticed that anyone who opposes KAOS*  is called "scum" and attacked and vilified? 😀

Nothing new. I posted this forecast last year. It's been predicted to go down, but may go up again later, depending on sanctions on Iran and Venezuela, and/or if OPEC decides again to restrict production.

Oh dear, just what we need, another cult member on this forum. Or are you just another incarnation?

What about grocery prices? What about inflation? What about the price of insurance? What about Trump ending the Ukraine war on day one? What about Trump crashing the economy with his insane tariffs? 
 

But you don’t care about all those broken promises, do you? It’s always someone or something else’s fault. Biden did it. The libs did it. The radical left did it. Canada did it. Mexico did it.
 

Trump is not to blame for anything, because he is your god and he’s always right.

Never saw any other 'politician' blow as hard as Trump.

Are you telling me you believe all his BS?

You're taking him seriously. Or is it literally? 

Stop it.

Not being obsessed with the guy I did not follow every single thing that is said, however there have been enough threads here claiming this & that about Trump which have been proved to be total BS.

Republicans are getting so much push back and so much flack from their constituents at the Town Halls that they've decided to just stop having them all together. Better not to face the people who voted for your candidate. 

 

Democrats to Hold “People’s Town Halls” in GOP-Held Target Districts Where Republicans Are Hiding From Their Voters & Constituents

Earlier this month, House Republicans’ leadership told their members to avoid hosting town halls with their constituents.

 

That’s because Republican members of Congress know they sold out their voters by backing Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s agenda — and they’re terrified to be in the same room as the people who sent them to Washington.

So Democrats are showing up instead.

 

During this congressional recess, Democrats are launching “People’s Town Halls,” a series of in-person public events in all 50 states across the country featuring local and national Democratic leaders.

 

This is a chance for people to make their voices heard — regardless of where they live or who they voted for last year.

Upcoming People’s Town Halls include:

Arizona’s 6th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Juan Ciscomani

Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Gabe Evans

Florida’s 13th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna

Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Zach Nunn

Michigan’s 10th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. John James

Missouri’s 2nd Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Ann Wagner

Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Don Bacon

Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie

Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Rob Bresnahan. 

ActBlue flooding the town halls with protesters
