CURRENT EVENTS - FEBRUARY 2026



Not just Hegseth



Dodik is a Putin crony (2025 story):


“… Dodik, a key Balkan ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has been in and around power in Bosnia since 2006, picking at the seams of the country’s patchwork multiethnic state.

…Dodik – who for years has threatened to split from Bosnia and “reunite” with Serbia – was convicted in February of defying the orders of Christian Schmidt, the current High Representative. Last week, an appeals court upheld his one-year prison sentence and six-year ban on holding office. Although Dodik has avoided prison by paying a fine, Bosnia’s electoral commission on Wednesday chose to apply the law which automatically removes an official from office if sentenced to more than six months in jail.

After two decades of raging against Bosnia’s state-level institutions, emboldened by his cast of illiberal allies and the lack of pushback from the European Union, many in Bosnia were stunned that authorities moved so quickly to implement the court’s ruling. …

I can't help but be struck by the fact that on the same day it was reported the administration is changing brochures at the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument to remove a description of Evers' killer as racist, the President posted a blatantly racist trope depicting the first black President and First Lady as apes.

Terrence Williams.

Used to be a damn fine actor. Hustle & Flow was a good movie.

However, like many of the right wing influencers, he has had severe mental health issues that has caused him to say crazy stuff online, which unfortunately get amplified because of the algorithms.

No different than Kanye or Russel Brand.

Oh, yeah, I know who that is. He did go a little nutty the last few years.
 
This is all so depressing. At this point it's hard even to muster any anger. Of course Trump posted racist memes about the Obamas. I would say that's not as bad as all the bullshit about Springfield Ohio. I mean the racism is relentless

It’s no secret that Trump is careless and sloppy with some of his social media shares.

"Very fine people on both sides" was not a social media share. [Transcript of comments for context]

"Shithole countries" was not a social media share.

The birther conspiracy was not a social media share.

Taking out an ad calling for the death penalty for the Central Park Five was not a social media share.

Maybe there's another explanation than being sloppy with social media...

Even if he didn't post it himself, which he probably did, it's still not a good look to let someone else have control of his account and post something like that on behalf of the fucking President of the United States.

I think Trump invited Kanye who, at the time, was clearly having mental issue and Kanye brought other people along.

Either way, the quote you posted is not the full context.

I've added a link in my original post to a transcript of Trump's comments for context. People are welcome to draw their own conclusions. Regardless, the rest of the original list stands.

I also think you may want to think twice about taking Trump at his word on things like not knowing who Nick Fuentes is. The list of people Donald Trump has claimed not to know for situational convenience is long.

I'm aware that Trump is the most prolific liar ever to hold this much power. I also don't think he'd invite Nick Fuentes to his house. Kanye? Absolutely. Kanye is a HUGE name and Trump loves huge names regardless of their character.

Especially when the administration says Trump's social media account is used for official statements and positions of the United States. That in mind, imagine the potential global consequences of a "staffer" "erroneously" making other, more consequential posts that remain up for 12 hours.

“I, your President Extraordinaire, hereby invite Bibi Netanyahu to the White House to kiss my shit-crusted ass.”

That would be my offering.

1000 time. Press and Dems have lied abaout this quote. Trump was clearly referring to people on both sides of the statute issue (i.e. whether the University should remove Lee's statute). This was what started the protest in the first place. He was not referring to the skin heads that were chanting "Jews will not replace us."
