Friday, Puddle announced that the US would be violating the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026 by allowing Russian diesel fuel to enter the American and global marketplace.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to the deal via Twitter.

The rest of the tweet says:

This once again clearly demonstrates Russia’s true intentions. They count on prolonging the war, terrorizing ordinary people, and destroying infrastructure.

Every additional billion dollars they can earn from exports will be spent on nothing but sourcing and importing critical components and equipment to manufacture weapons, upgrading “shaheds,” producing missiles, and recruiting even more mercenaries to fight at the front.

Russia’s choice is war. And they will be ready to end it only when they feel that their ability to drag the war out is diminishing.

Unfortunately, the signals Russia received yesterday were entirely different – signals suggesting that it could simply keep attacking. And this needs to be corrected.

Strong signals are needed from the United States, Europe, and other partners – signals in support of Ukraine and to RESTRICT Russia’s ability to wage war and terrorize people.

Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

AP News (10/09/2026):

Trump’s shocking announcement was in stark contrast to a sweeping Russia sanctions law he signed last month that aimed at clamping down on the oil and gas revenues that fuel Russia’s war against Ukraine.

[snip]

The law Trump signed last month envisions sanctions on Russian officials, banks and a shadow fleet of tankers and bans all new U.S. investment in Russia and the handling of sovereign debt.

It also directed Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on the top five importers of Russian oil or natural gas, with an exception for countries that import less than 15% of Russia’s natural gas exports and have taken significant steps to reduce those imports.

The U.S. has not imported Russian oil or gas since 2022, when the Biden administration banned the imports because of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

AP News (10/09/2026).

The Treasury Department:

Mr. Global had thoughts on the "deal".

While Puddle was kissing Putin's ass, Ukrainian and European officials were meeting in Miami with Kushner and Jerkoff to discuss ending the war that President Putin started.

Puddle was asked about the suffering of Ukrainians under Russia's attacks.

Reporter: -- the message to Ukrainians, Mr. President, for daily suffering from the attack, from the rocket attack, for suffering hunger issues [Inaudible]

Puddle: Well, I agree with you. And you know what I suggest? I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal, because he could have made many deals, but for some reason he never does. And let me go a step further. If I were president, you wouldn't have ever had that war. That war would have never started. There was no reason that that war with Ukraine and Russia started.

It started due to incompetence. Should've never started. You wouldn't have lost 30% of your country already. You've lost 30% of your country and you've had over a million people killed. Between the two of them, over two million people killed.

Reporter: Mr. President.

Puddle: That's a war that should have never started. And I think it's time for Ukraine to get a new president.

RollCall.com. 10/10/2026.

On Sunday, Puddle lied about ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine.

President Zelenskyy had more thoughts regarding Puddle's remarks and his claim about the ceasefire.

And since Puddle can't stand not having the "last word"...


Midterm Stupid.

Puddle asked...

MAGA cult 45/47 member Nick Sortor broke the "news" that the mystery had been solved.

Has it?

Talarico says...

The timeline says...

The saga actually began several days ago, when conspiracy theories about Talarico’s flu-induced nine-day absence from the campaign trail began to morph into desperate conspiracies. The predominant theory, boosted by the likes of former Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt and January 6th organizer Caroline Wren, was that Talarico wasn’t suffering from the flu at all but that he was cooling his heels in a padded room of some sort. Soon, the focus turned to the Lindner Center of Hope in Mason, Ohio.

[snip]

Sortor hadn’t actually made the call. That was Amacher, who had also cut his teeth filming the Portland ICE protests. Amacher had posted call logs that indicated his actual conversation with (allegedly) the person at Lindner lasted roughly six minutes. So, we asked him for the full recording (not the 45-second clip Sortor had posted). And, thankfully, he sent it along.

[The rest of the article is paywalled. Boo]

The Bulwark.com. 10/11/2026.

Talarico says again...

Talarico:

I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. It's why I haven't heard from him after 85 days, when I first challenged him to a debate publicly.

And I think people are concerned. I think media is asking questions and social media is asking questions. And so I think we should all look into what condition Ken Paxton may have that's preventing him from debating.

And in all seriousness, you know, the people of Texas deserve a debate between these two candidates before a big election, a critical decision.

Fox News has said that Ken Paxton should debate. President Trump has said Ken Paxton should debate. The people of Texas have said Ken Paxton should debate. And so we're awaiting his answer.

He has asked for proof of life from me. I'm asking for proof of spine from him.

Speaking of midterms...

Puddle is hitting the campaign trail over the next few days. This morning, he doubled down on trying to buy votes with his offer of $5,000 to American voters, provided Republicans win enough seats to secure a majority.

I'm voting to give all adult citizens in the United States of America $5,000.

Democrat policies won't allow this to happen. In fact, the opposite, they're going to raise your taxes.

If the Democrats win, you will have an economic depression. If the Republicans win, you will each have $5,000 in your pocket.

An economic success for our country, like we have never seen before.

I used an app. Buzz transcribed the video. I listened to it. ChatGPT made the transcript usable. 10/12/2026.

Narrator: If the Democrats win the midterms. Puddle will still be the fucking President. All he has to do to stop them is veto anything they might pass through both chambers. He's so dumb.


That's enough of that for today.

Tomorrow, we get our first glimpse of Propaganda Barbie 2.0 in action. According to Puddle...

She has already appeared on Fox Entertainment as Propaganda Barbie 2.0...

Propaganda Barbie2.0:

I agree, Rachel. And listen, President Trump solved eight conflicts in under 12 months in his first year. I'm sure, and he will absolutely bring an end to this under his term.

And I'm in full agreement with you that this deal is not actually deleterious to bringing peace. In fact, it works towards peace. And I believe he's showing that. He's going to be able to work a deal here.

I fully trust him. He did it with Venezuela. He did it with, uh, he's doing it with Canada, and he did it with Greenland.

So I think we're going to see some historic wins, and President Trump is going to deliver that. We just have to make sure we continue winning on these races.

And going back to his rally in Syracuse, I've never seen so much energy during the midterms and during all of these races. I worked in the '06 midterms, which we did lose, and I have never seen a president ever work this hard for midterm races.
