Donald Trump: The Most Disgraceful Public Figure of Our Generation In the grand theater of American history, few figures have managed to combine the sheer volume of disgraceful behavior as Donald Trump. As the 45th President of the United States, Trump turned the Oval Office into a circus ring, showcasing racism, vileness, arrogance, and a laundry list of ethical violations that have left an indelible stain on the nation’s fabric. With his recent conviction for election interference, the GOP must finally wake up to the reality that Trump is a malignancy that needs to be excised for the good of America. Let’s start with Trump’s racist character. This is a man who launched his political career by peddling the birther conspiracy, a baseless, racially charged attack on President Obama’s legitimacy. His comments about Mexican immigrants being "rapists" and "criminals," his attempts to ban Muslims from entering the country, and his notorious statement that there were "very fine people on both sides" during the Charlottesville white supremacist rally, all paint a picture of a leader who thrived on division and hatred. The vileness of Trump is not limited to his public statements. His arrogance and entitlement are legendary. He famously bragged about sexually assaulting women, claiming his celebrity status allowed him to get away with it. This mindset extended into his presidency, where he dismissed any criticism as "fake news" and treated the White House as his personal playground. His entitlement knew no bounds, whether it was using the presidency to promote his own businesses or expecting unwavering loyalty from his subordinates, regardless of the ethical or legal implications. Trump’s disdain for the rule of law was a hallmark of his administration. His tenure was marked by corruption, from using his office to enrich himself and his family to obstructing justice at every turn. His attempts to coerce Ukraine into investigating a political rival, leading to his first impeachment, and his subsequent efforts to undermine the 2020 election results culminated in a second impeachment. Now, with his conviction for election interference, Trump’s utter disrespect for democratic principles is laid bare for all to see. Selfishness and a profound lack of empathy were constants throughout Trump’s life and presidency. His handling of the COVID-19 pandemic was catastrophic, marked by misinformation, denial, and a greater concern for the stock market than human lives. His administration’s policies, from separating families at the border to attempting to repeal healthcare protections, were driven by a callous disregard for the most vulnerable. In his personal life, Trump’s behavior was equally reprehensible. His history of extra-marital affairs, often with much younger women, and the subsequent hush money payments to cover them up, revealed a man who valued his image over integrity. His deceit extended beyond the bedroom and into every facet of his public and private life. Trump’s habitual lying is perhaps his most consistent trait. The Washington Post documented over 30,000 false or misleading statements during his presidency. From the size of his inauguration crowd to unfounded claims of voter fraud, Trump’s reality was one he crafted from lies and half-truths, eroding public trust and polarizing the nation. Now, with Trump found guilty of election interference, the GOP faces a crucial crossroads. Continuing to support a man who has consistently shown himself to be unfit for office is a recipe for disaster. Trump is not just bad for the Republican Party; he is bad for America. His legacy is one of division, corruption, and disgrace. It is high time for the GOP to come to its senses and move on from Trump’s toxic influence. Donald Trump stands as the most disgraceful public figure of our generation. His racism, vileness, arrogance, disregard for the rule of law, corruption, selfishness, lack of empathy, infidelity, and habitual lying have left an indelible mark on American history. With his recent conviction, the GOP must recognize that Trump is a liability that the nation cannot afford. For the sake of American democracy, it’s time to turn the page on the Trump era and move forward with leaders who embody the principles and values that truly make America great.

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children. I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

Marseille is on fire in those clips. Smoke, police vans, people running, shops getting hit, city hall breached. That’s not a movie. Cost-of-living protests got hijacked, the streets turned ugly, and the mayor is already calling it the shame of Europe. They’re banning gatherings and the numbers arrested are climbing fast.

Politico: Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), who is widely expected to be the next National Republican Senatorial Committee chair, told reporters Thursday that “if the Democrats do win the House and the Senate, it won’t be because of their left-wing lunatic candidates, it’ll be because people are pissed off about gas prices, and I get that
Politico: Republicans are already starting to blame each other as the midterm election spirals further out of their control. Everyone is bracing for President Donald Trump’s ire if the party loses big in November. House Republicans are planning to accuse the Senate side. National GOP operatives are quietly furious at lackluster candidates who didn’t do enough to prepare for a tough year despite early warnings. And some GOP candidates are pointing the finger back at their own party committees.

Warning: This shows a service member falling to their death. It happened in one of Pete Hegseth’s “Tiny Dick”, absolutely unnecessary shit shows.
A U.S. Army officer falls to the field at high speed during a fast rope demonstration gone wrong during the Navy vs UTSA pregame tonight. The officer was attended to on the field and taken to the hospital on a stretcher. There has been no update on his condition but we pray that he was not seriously injured. x.com/Qu4k3r0ats/status/2111…
Community note
Air Force confirmed the service member, a USAF Airman, died from injuries after the rappelling demonstration. It was not a fast-rope or Army officer. taskandpurpose.com/news/airman-di… espn.com/college-footba

He was lying flat on his back in the road with both hands in the air, shouting that he was a therapist and the man beside him was autistic and holding a toy truck. A policeman shot Charles Kinsey anyway. Kinsey asked him why. The officer said: "I don't know." North Miami, Florida, 18 July 2016. Kinsey, 47, was a behavioural therapist. One of his patients, Arnaldo Rios Soto, a 26-year-old autistic man, had wandered out of a group home and was sitting in the middle of the road playing with a silver toy truck. Someone called 911 and reported a man with a gun threatening to kill himself. Kinsey did everything. He lay down in the road on his back. He put both hands straight up in the air where they could be seen. He shouted his identification, his job, his patient's condition, and that the object was a toy. It is on video. A SWAT officer fired three rounds. One hit Kinsey in the leg. Then he was rolled over and handcuffed, bleeding in the road, and left there for a reported twenty minutes before an ambulance got to him. He asked the officer why he had shot him. He has testified that the answer was: *I don't know.* The officer, Jonathan Aledda, said he had been trying to protect Kinsey and believed Rios Soto was armed and a threat. He was charged — which is itself unusual — and tried twice. The first trial produced a conviction on one count of culpable negligence. A judge threw it out. A second jury acquitted him in 2019. Nobody has been held responsible. Kinsey survived and gave interviews, and the sentence he keeps returning to is the one everybody should take from this. He was unarmed, flat on his back, hands up, announcing himself, in daylight, on camera. He did everything right, and it did not matter. Every Black parent in America who has ever recited the rules to a teenager — hands visible, say sir, do not move, announce what you are doing — has had to reckon with Charles Kinsey, because he followed all of them, perfectly, out loud, and was shot anyway.

Ukraine saw the same mob in Odesa in May 2014. Russia-prepared, russia-radicalized, russia-trained, russia-sent. It was pure luck that Odesa patriots have neutralized them.

We don't talk enough about how Ken Paxton cut a sweet, Ghislaine Maxwell-type deal for a child sex offender: he didn't even need to register as a sex offender. He got less than 30 days for "continuous sex abuse of a child." WHY isn't this MAJOR news?
