BREAKING: In an amazing and rare political moment, Bill Clinton in one fell swoop, just humiliated Donald Trump for turning the White House Rose Garden into what looks like Liberace's bathroom and hammering Congressional Republicans for allowing it. This is amazing.

My favorite thing in the world right now is idiot magats tagging grok to fact-check me and getting proven wrong.
Historians' consensus: Nazis were far-right fascists, not socialists. "Socialist" in the name was propaganda to attract workers. They banned independent unions, arrested and killed socialists/communists, and purged their own left wing (Strassers, Röhm) in the 1934 Night of the Long Knives. Core ideology was racial hierarchy and nationalism, not class equality. Name alone proves little, as with North Korea.

Elon, you absolute fucking moron. The Nazis were far-right fascists who destroyed labor unions, persecuted communists and socialists, and murdered political opponents. Hitler literally purged the party’s left wing.
Calling Nazis socialists because of their name is like believing North Korea is democratic because it calls itself the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
Imagine being the richest man alive and still being too fucking stupid to understand history at a middle-school level. Money can buy you a platform, Elon. Apparently, it can’t buy you a functioning brain.

I don't want you to panic but there's only two weeks left before Halloween if you haven't cleaned your bat yet.

If in fact there isn’t more to this story, and @elonmusk pulled the rug from Ukraine (a service that is PAID FOR, not free) this is criminal.
We should wait for the full story to assume it’s true but given all that’s been happening, it’s plausible and likely

Trump and Musk are doing their best to help Putin kill Ukrainians.

Restricting Ukraine's Starlink and Starshield access while ballistic missiles and drones attack Ukraine is unconscionable.
The admin also reportedly gave Kyiv no warning of the strikes.
Trump’s making a choice—and it directly aids Putin's slaughter of Ukrainian civilians.
While Musk owns SpaceX which controls Starlink systems and can impose restrictions on them in Ukraine, those that began overnight are on the Starshield military version of the system controlled by the Pentagon. This suggests the decision to limit the speed of the Starshield systems was made within the Trump administration. ft.com/content/37085602-726a…

More Ukrainian military confirming that Musk stopped Ukraine's drones mid-flight last night.
This was exactly during Russia's massive missile and drone barrage on Kyiv.
The US is fully joining Putin's war.
From Sergei Flash:

First Trump stopped selling interceptor missiles to Ukraine.
Then Trump stopped providing early warning intel for incoming strikes.
Then Musk cut off Starlink.
The blood of those dead Ukrainians is on your hands, Trump voters.

The NY Times reports that Ukraine’s military access to Starshield (the Pentagon-funded version of Starlink) was restricted overnight without warning. That’s what Ukraine uses to fly its drones.
Ukrainian officials say the order came from Washington.
The same night, Russia hit Ukraine with 39 ballistic missiles, the biggest barrage of the entire war. 600,000 in Kyiv lost power.
This comes after Trump said Ukraine should get a new president. He said Putin wants a deal more than Zelensky. He gave Putin a (likely illegal) sanctions waiver to sell diesel, a total betrayal of Ukraine. And today Kash Patel reportedly landed in Moscow.
Ukrainians are fighting for the same freedom our grandparents’ generation fought for, the right of a free people to choose their own leaders.
Meanwhile, Putin is a murderous thug.
I stand with Ukraine. I stand with democracy.

Elon Musk has pointed directly at Trump as the source of recent throttling on Starshield, the military-grade version of Starlink used by Ukraine. Zelensky warned the slowdown would cost lives by limiting Ukraine’s ability to fend off Russian invaders.

Zelensky literally begs Elon Musk to switch on STARLINK or thousands of Ukrainians will die!
He accuses Trump and Musk of betraying Ukraine, claiming Starlink's overnight disruption crippled interceptor drones that rely on the satellite network, putting Ukrainian lives at risk.
The same Starlink they wanted in India and Rahul & opposition were all out supporting!
Betsy Karasik retweeted
MAKE NO MISTAKE:
By interrupting Ukraine's Starlink access, trump and Elon Musk are ACTIVELY helping Russia, the country that is helping Iran target and KILL American soldiers.
I don't care what party you belong to.
This is inexcusable.
