Orange Jesus has claimed that the US  has spent $350 billion (€333bn) to support Ukraine, saying that is $200bn (€190bn) more than Europe has spent.

He has used the scale of US support as a justification to demand a massive $500bn (€475bn) deal on Ukrainian minerals from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
President Trump's figures have been rejected by Mr Zelensky and other European leaders, including France's President Emmanuel Macron.
So, what are the facts when comes to support given by the US and Europe to back Ukraine’s fight against Russia?

Europe was supporting Ukraine from the outset, and they are spending more than the US.

SCOTUS ruling just came in.

5 - 4 decision against Trump.

Some good news during these horrible times.

---

You need to read things more thoroughly.......

"Given that the deadline in the challenged order has now passed, and in light of the ongoing preliminary injunction proceedings, the District Court should clarify what obligations the Government must fulfill to ensure compliance with the temporary restraining order, with due regard for the feasibility of any compliance timelines," the Court said.

Not everything was unfrozen...... the court needs to clarify things and not issue such a broad order......

This is my favorite from last night that is making the social media rounds.

Trump said last night that they discovered the government paid $8M to make mice transgender.

Of course, Donny [BLEEP] is wrong.

It's "transgenic".

About that claim he made about “$8 million in funding for research to turn mice transgender” which had the entire Republican side of the room bursting with laughter: it turns out the studies were on TRANSGENIC mice. Not transgender mice. Trump is just a transphobe who can’t read.

Man oh man..... you're grasping for straws here....... Biden made more verbal gaffs in a single sentence then Trump made all last night........

Democrats have no plan or solutions for anything, and it seems that your brainwashed self is just fine with that........

---

The fact that they allow male transgender mice to compete against the female mice in the spinning wheel olympic games is a disgrace !!

Correct. The judge is required to go line item by line item. Then it will end up back in the supreme court.

This was a loss for Trump, bottom line.

Roberts and Barrett are not going to change their position on this. They are going to leave it to the lower court to decide what the Trump Administration must do.


And basically, Alito is admitting that he is full of [BLEEP] in his dissent. How can Trump block payment for work already completed? He cannot. --

Alito’s dissent acknowledged Ali’s “frustration with the Government,” and that the aid groups had broached “serious concerns about nonpayment for completed work.” But the court’s denial of the Trump administration’s request to lift Ali’s Feb. 25 order, he contended, “is, quite simply, too extreme a response. A federal court,” he suggested, “has many tools to address a party’s supposed nonfeasance. Self-aggrandizement of its jurisdiction is not one of them.”

... Biden made more verbal gaffs in a single 

BUT BIDEN!

Whataboutism is an argumentative tactic where a person or group responds to an accusation or difficult question by deflection. Instead of addressing the point made, they counter it with “but what about X?”

https://flaglerlive.com/whataboutism-explained/

A gaffe is misspeaking.

Conflating transgenic with transgender is either ignorance or a purposeful attempt to misinform.

Which one is it?

---

The trailer park rednecks eat this [BLEEP] up and that's the whole goal.

Lie to them and tell them outrageous [BLEEP] that they want to believe so they continue voting the right way.

SCOTUS is going to make life harder on Judge Ali. However, as long as Judge Ali complies with what SCOTUS is directing, then I don't see Roberts or Barrett changing their position on this.

Mulino in a message posted to X on Wednesday, rejected that the deal came about because of U.S. pressure. “I reject in the name of Panama and all Panamanians this new affront to the truth and our dignity as a nation,” he wrote. He accused Trump of “lying again.”
...
“Cooperation between our governments passes through clear understandings in terms of issues of mutual interest,” Mulino wrote. “It doesn’t have anything to do with ‘reclaiming the canal’ nor with tarnishing our national sovereignty.”

In a filing, CK Hutchison Holding said Tuesday that it would sell all shares in Hutchison Port Holdings and in Hutchison Port Group Holdings to the BlackRock consortium in a deal valued at nearly $23 billion, including $5 billion in debt.
...
Frank Sixt, co-managing director of CK Hutchison, said in a statement that the transaction was “the result of a rapid, discrete but competitive process in which numerous bids and expressions of interest were received.”

“I would like to stress that the transaction is purely commercial in nature and wholly unrelated to recent political news reports concerning the Panama Ports,” Sixt said.

https://apnews.com/article/panama-canal-...7fa34ec20e

More lies from the Liar in Chief.

So basically a bunch of ports which are NOT the canal used to be own by a Hong Kong company are now owned by an American company. That's it.

It seems that Trump's global strategy is to insult every nation on the face of the world until we are completely alone and without allies.

---

You are so far behind it is laughable. Blackrock now controls the ports on either side of the canal and can control it by their proximity. Larry also bought another 43 ports near other canals. Suez happens to be one of them. Dude stick to what you know. These guys would crush you like the cockroach you are.

A new broom always sweeps clean.

Sounds like Black Rock made some well timed donations and Trump saw an opportunity to dress cronyism up as nationalism.

My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.

You would think that. LOL (But then you play checkers so no surprise)

---

What?

They cannot control the canal. Ports ≠ control.

The canal is controlled by the Panama Canal Authority, a Panamanian government agency.

---

The weirdest thing to me about people seeing this as a win for Trump is that literally last month 17 Republican Attorneys General accused BlackRock of having too involved ties to China and was not adequately disclosing that information.

Look out people, the transgender mice are coming to groom your cats and turn them into rodents. It's real; it's happening. It's Biden's fault. Say "no" to transgender catdent reading hour in schools and libraries!

US President Donald Trump, in his address to Congress, called out the previous Joe Biden administration for spending millions of dollars on making “mice transgender” in a slip-up for what was supposed to be “transgenic mice”.

“$8 million for making mice transgender. This is real,” said Donald Trump as he called out the Biden administration for spending taxpayer dollars on “transgender mice and other gender-bending social experiments” overseas.

It's because he's always "10 steps ahead of the Republicans". Makes him look like a jackass.
