This is true for Ukraine and never will change, they have been corrupt for decades. The EU and other countries that are not condemning them, want it that way. I said when the 2022 war started I stated the EU and others (like America under Biden) use this country as their Mafia Country to attack their enemies, like Russia, Poland, Hungary or anyone that doesn’t bow to the Corrupt NWO. None of their cries about democracy is true, Ukraine is not a sovereign country but they still call it that.
The place has been a literal shithole even before WWII.
Wait until the NABU or America founds out how many bribes and kickbacks they give to all countries and politicians, even the American leaders, for the last 4 years, but longer than that at least 25 years.
Ukrainian leaders are so corrupt they think it’s normal in society. Europe has no problem with it because Kiev does their bidding. There’s a reason why the country is cursed.
If I was God, I’d get out all the poor citizens and blow the GD country up! According to his will of course! And if Jesus agrees of course

UK plans to drastically tighten asylum rules – Home Secretary
The new proposal includes reduced protections for refugees and an end to automatic benefits for asylum seekers, according to Shabana Mahmood
London plans to sharply scale back protections for asylum seekers and make them wait two decades to apply to stay for goodas part of a major policy overhaul, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood told The Sunday Times. She said the UK is struggling to manage a steady influx of new arrivals.
Under the existing rules introduced in 2005, refugees in Britain receive five years of status before they can apply for indefinite leave to remain, or permanent residence, and eventually citizenship.Mahmood wants to cut that initial period in half and introduce regular reviews to assess whether individuals remain eligible for asylum. Those whose home countries are deemed safe would be instructed to return.
For refugees who arrive illegally, the waiting period to apply for indefinite leave would be quadrupled to 20 years. “Illegal migration is tearing our country apart,” Mahmood said. “If we don’t sort this out, I think our country becomes much more divided.”
Asylum claims in Britain have reached a record high, with about 111,000 applications filed in the year to June 2025, according to government data. The number of claimants has nearly doubled since 2021, a Home Office report found.
Those who arrive legally would face a 10-year wait.The policywould allow skilled refugees to shorten the waiting time by entering “specific”work or study routes. “It will be essentially a system whereby the more you contribute, you can bring forward that period,” Mahmood said.
The overhaul would also end the statutory duty to provide support for asylum seekers.Refugees granted work permits would lose access to housing and weekly allowances, and support would be withdrawn for anyone who breaks the law.
Mahmood described the current system as “broken” and “unfair.” She has previously warned that the UK is losing control of its borders, saying last month that failing to restore order would erode trust in the state.
The move comes as support rises for the anti-immigration and EU-skeptical Reform Party, led by MP Nigel Farage. A September poll showed the party is backed by 35% of Britons, with Labour at 20% and the Conservatives at 17%

No Ukraine ceasefire ‘this year’ – Finnish president
A truce or peace talks could take place by next spring, Alexander Stubb has said
A ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict or renewed peace talks are unlikely to take place this year, Finnish President Alexander Stubb told the Associated Press in an interview published on Sunday.
Kiev has “abandoned” direct peace negotiations with Moscow as they have made “little progress,” Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Kislitsa told The Times last week. The last Turkish-hosted round of talks took place in June.
“I’m not very optimistic about achieving a ceasefire or the beginning of peace negotiations, at least this year,” Stubb told AP.
“If we get something going by February, March, that would be good,” he added, calling on other sponsors of Ukraine to “maximize pressure on Russia.” (This is stupid because Russia will accelerate the war, they’ve already won. EU doesn’t care about more dead Ukrainians.)
He called onKiev’s backers to increase “financial support to Ukraine,” and to “finance military equipment… give, donate as we best can.”
When asked about the massive $100 million embezzlement scandal that shook the Ukrainian state-owned Energoatom firm earlier this week, Stubb said that he hopes Vladimir Zelensky gets the affair “sorted and cleared.”=
“Obviously there’s no place for corruption, especially in a country which is in war,” he said. (OH my Fucking God, did he just say that?)
The scandal has so far seen two Ukrainian ministers fired and one of Zelensky’s long-time associates, Timur Mindich, flee the country ahead of an anti-graft agency probe.
Kiev’s Western sponsors have long raised concerns about corruption in the country.
Following the scandal, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini argued that foreign aid sent to Ukraine risks just padding corrupt officials’ pockets.
“I would not want the money of Italian workers and pensioners to be used to fuel further corruption,” he said on Friday.
The idea that sending arms to Ukraine could allow it to “regain the lost ground is naïve, to say the least,” he added.
Russian forces have sped up their advance in Kharkov and Donetsk Regions in recent months, taking ground and encircling Ukrainian forces in two key cities.
Despite the military gains,the Kremlin has stressed that it prefers a diplomatic solution to the conflict.

Moscow sees ‘window of opportunity’ in Russia-US ties
The Trump administration’s rejection of the “liberal globalist model” creates conditions for renewed dialogue, the embassy in Washington has said
Russia and the US have a chance to normalize relations and avoid a new phase of dangerous confrontationthanks to President Donald Trump’s opposition to the liberal globalist agenda, Moscow’s embassy in Washington has said.
In a statement on Sunday,the embassy celebrated the 92nd anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the Soviet Union and the US.It said the decision by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to recognize the USSR in 1933 was shaped by his recognition of the new geopolitical reality.
The embassy also noted thatdespite decades marked by ups and downs in relations, Moscow and Washington have “always found resolutions”to their differences as the two nuclear powers “recognize their responsibility for the fate of the whole planet.”
In today’s environment, it continued, “a window of opportunity has opened for Russia and the United States… to normalize relations based on principles of equality, respect for national interests, and non-confrontational coexistence.”The embassy stressed that this comes “against the backdrop of the Trump administration’s rejection of the liberal globalist model of a ‘rules-based world order.’”
US-Russia relations sank to an all-time low under former US President Joe Biden, amid the Ukraine conflict, but have shown signs of improvement since Trump’s return to the White House.
The US leader has said he wants to end the hostilities, and US and Russian officials have held several rounds of talks this year, including the Alaska summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump.
Although the dialogue failed to yield a breakthrough,Moscow has praised what it called Washington’s willingness to mediate and consider the conflict’s underlying causes. Russian officials have also said the renewed dialogue creates opportunities for trade and economic cooperation, despite Washington’s decision to sanction Russian oil companies Rosneft and Lukoil.
Moscow has stated that a lasting agreement must address the root causes of the conflict and include a pledge from Kiev to stay out of NATO, Ukrainian demilitarization and denazification, and the recognition of the new territorial reality on the ground.

Anti-Zelensky protest held in Kiev (PHOTOS)
The rally came after the Ukrainian leader’s close associate was implicated in a $100 million kickback scheme and fled the country
Around 200 Ukrainians took to the streets of Kiev on Saturday to protest corruption and demand the resignation of Vladimir Zelensky after investigators alleged that a former close associate of the country’s leader had played a central role in a kickback scheme in the energy sector.
The anti-corruption probe by the country’s Western-backed National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) had uncovered an alleged $100 million embezzlement scheme involving the state-owned nuclear energy firm Energoatom.
Investigators linked the controversy to Timur Mindich, who co-owned the production company Kvartal 95 with Zelensky before the latter left show business to dedicate himself to politics. According to officials, his network extracted kickbacks of 10-15% from contractors and exerted influence over key contracts.
Mindich – often described by the Ukrainian media as “Zelensky’s purse” – fled the country just hours before his apartment was raided by security officials – likely warned about the coming operation.
The protest, which took place on Independence Square in Kiev, featured signs reading “Zelensky – criminal,” “President resign,” and “No corruption,” and also showed support for detained anti-corruption detective Ruslan Magomedrasulov, who played a key role in the probe but was accused of having ties with Russia.
The rally was organized by anti-corruption activist Maria Barabash, who said she would stage protests every week until the head of Zelensky’s office, Andrey Yermak, steps down, Timur Mindich is extradited from Israel along with other fugitive suspects, and real judicial reform is launched.
Commenting on the scandal, Zelensky downplayed his past ties with Mindich without mentioning his name, but said he supports “any effective actions against corruption.” Meanwhile, Zelensky’s aide, Mikhail Podoliak, blamed the corruption scheme on “Russian influence,”without offering evidence to support his stance.
The controversy comes after Zelensky spearheaded a law this summer that curbed the independence of NABU and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO), prompting large protests in Ukraine and criticism from Kiev’s Western backers. Following the backlash, Zelensky later supported and signed legislation restoring NABU and SAPO’s independence.

West eager to finish Russia as a great power – John Mearsheimer
The US political scientist argues that President Putin has figured out the plan and has every reason not to trust Western leaders
Western governments continue to pursue policies aimed at weakening Russia to the point ofpermanently diminishing its status as a great power, according to John Mearsheimer, a political science professor at the University of Chicago.
Moscow has long described the hostilities in Ukraine as a Western proxy war against Russia, in which Ukrainians are being used as “cannon fodder.”
Russian officials have argued that the US and other Western powers intentionally escalated tensions by disregarding the Kremlin’s security concerns over NATO’s expansion in Eastern Europe and its growing military cooperation with Kiev.
In an interview with the host of the Daniel Davis Deep Dive YouTube channel on Friday,Mearsheimer said that Western governments’ objective has been “to defeat Russia and Ukraine, wreck the Russian economy with sanctions, and bring the Russians to their knees.”
“We’ve been unable to do that, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want to do it, of course, we want to do it,” he stated.
“If the opportunity to do it popped up tomorrow, we would leap at it in a second, we would love to finish Russia off as a great power,” the political theorist said,emphasizing that Moscow is fully aware of how existential the Western threat is.
Mearsheimer further noted:“[Russian President Vladimir] Putin, the last time I checked, has a triple-digit IQ, and that means he’s figured this out, he understands what he’s dealing with.”
The professor argued thatPutin has every reason not to trust either US President Donald Trumpor the European leaders, as he “is assuming worst case in good realist fashion.”
Multiple Western officials have publicly described the Ukraine conflict as a proxy war against Russia in recent months. Keith Kellogg, a Ukraine policy envoy under Trump, reiterated that view earlier this year while warning against supplying long-range cruise missiles to Kiev. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has used the same term, and the Kremlin has agreed with his characterization.
(https://www.rt.com/russia/627857-west-eager-crush-russia-power/
I hope it’s not true Trump would turn on Putin, but I have got to agree with Mearsheimer, there are too many in Trump’s Admin that hate Russia, to lie to him about Putin’s actions; sorry but Lindsay Graham and Rubio are two of them. Rubio was willing to pretend in the beginning, but he can’t hide his beliefs for the last 20 years in the Senate.

Trump ally demands $50mn over election fraud case – Bloomberg
The US Department of Justice is reportedly discussing a settlement with former national security adviser Michael Flynn
Michael Flynn, former national security adviser to US President Donald Trump, is seeking $50 million from the American federal government, Bloomberg reported on Friday, citing court filings. The case is connected with a prosecution he describes as politically motivated and links to attempts to challenge the 2020 election results, according to the outlet.
The legal cases against Trump’s campaign team were part of a broader crackdown on efforts to contest the election, including probes related to the January 6 Capitol attack. Trump and his allies repeatedly claimed fraud after losing the vote to Joe Biden.
The Department of Justice is reportedly negotiating a settlement of Flynn’s claimin a shift from the previous administration’s approach, when government lawyers fought the case.
Apart from Flynn’s lawsuit,the agency is reportedly trying to settle a casebrought by former senior White House lawyer Stefan Passantino,who claims that a government investigation into the 2020 election and January 6 damaged his reputation through leaked private information.
Court filings indicate that no specific financial compensation demands have been publicly disclosed in his case, Bloomberg noted.
Flynn and Passantino filed lawsuits in 2023. Flynn lost the first round of his civil damages suit last year, and the US attorney’s office in Atlanta continued defending a judge’s dismissal of Passantino’s case through June.
Flynn initially pleaded guilty to making false statements acknowledging that he had misrepresented his contacts with a Russian official. He later reversed his position and challenged the charges. Trump pardoned him in late 2020, bringing the case to a close.
The extensive legal action against Trump’s team has affected numerous allies, including figures involved in the post-election unrest and protests at Capitol Hill. Many of them were pardoned either recently or at the end of Trump’s first term.

Ukraine conflict killing EU economy – Orban
The bloc is wasting money on Kiev despite it having “no chance” of winning against Moscow, the Hungarian PM has said
The EU must look for a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine conflictbecause the continued financing of Kiev is destroying the bloc’s economy, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said.
It is “just crazy” to keep sending more money to Ukraine after the has EU already “burnt” €185 billion (around $215 billion) on supporting the governmentof Vladimir Zelensky since the confrontation between Moscow and Kiev escalated in February 2022, Orban told German journalist Mathias Dopfner on his MDMEETS podcast on Sunday.
“The point is that this war kills the EU economically… We finance a country [Ukraine] which has no chance to win the war, but at the same time there is a high level of corruption, andwe do not have moneyfor the EU to make a new boost for our economy, which is suffering a lot because of the lack of competitiveness,” he said.
The leaders of the bloc’s nations are “totally wrong”when they insist on the continuation of the conflict in the hopes that “the situation will improve on the front line and we will have better circumstances or preconditions for negotiation,”the prime minister insisted. “The situation and the time is better for the Russian than for us,”he added.
Orban, whose government was one of the few in the EU that refused to provide military assistance to Ukraine, again urged the bloc to engage in diplomacy with Russia.
Peace might be “very close” if Brussels joins the effortsof US President Donald Trump to stop the fighting between Moscow and Kiev, he suggested.
“Let us open an independent communication channel to Russia… Let the Americans negotiate with the Russians and then the Europeans should also negotiate with the Russians and then see whether we can unify the position of the Americans and Europeans,” he said.
Russia maintains that it is open to a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine conflict, but insists that any deal must address the root causes of the crisis and include guarantees that Ukraine will never join NATO, along with the country’s demilitarization, denazification, and recognition of the territorial realities on the ground.
However, Moscow warnsthat in the absence of reasonable proposals from Kiev and the West, it has no other choice but to continue pursuing its goals using military means.

Enthusiasm for helping Ukraine fading – Polish PM
Donald Tusk said that the new bombshell corruption scandal makes it harder to rally support for Kiev (But they will find a way no matter how much Ukraine hates Poland)
The huge corruption scandal implicating Vladimir Zelensky’s inner circlehas made it harder to muster support for Ukraine, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said. (He didn’t say impossible!)
Tusk joined many EU leaders who expressed concern after Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies announced Monday that they had uncovered a $100 million kickback scheme in the energy sector involving several businessmen and officials, including Timur Mindich, Zelensky’s close associate and former longtime business partner.
Speaking at a press conference in the Polish city of Retkow on Friday, Tusk said he had longwarned Zelensky that the fight against corruption was “crucial for his reputation.”
Although Tusk pledgedPoland’s continued support for Kiev, he added that the corruption scandal wouldmake it “increasingly difficult to convince various partners to show solidarity”with Ukraine.
“Today, pro-Ukrainian enthusiasm is much lower in Poland and around the world. People are tired of the war and the associated spending, making it harder to sustain support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia,” he said.
Tusk made his comments as Polish officials have been voicing concerns over welfare payouts to Ukrainian refugees.
Polish President Karol Kawrocki, who took office in August,hinted this weekthat Ukrainian nationals could lose preferential treatment.
The corruption affair has been especially damaging to Ukraine’s reputation because thealleged kickbacks covered contracts to protect the power grid against Russian airstrikes. The resilience of the country’s critical infrastructure relies heavily on EU financial aid.
Zelensky has supported the investigation and imposed sanctions on Mindich, who fled Ukraine shortly before his house was searched.
(For some odd reason all EU countries are not outraged about the fraudand theft by Ukraine leaders!oh it’s because they all knew it and gained from it.The socialists welfare in Europe sucks! Every EU country has blood sucking Ukrainians and paying lots of money to them.)

Euroclear could sue EU to oppose seizure of Russian assets – CEO
The bloc is scrambling to find finance for Ukraine, which faces a $50 billion budget deficit next year
Belgian clearinghouse Euroclear could sue the EUif the bloc tries to confiscate the Russian sovereign funds held there, CEO Valerie Urbain told Le Monde in an interview published on Saturday.
The depository, which carries roughly $46 trillion in securities for global financial institutions in any given year, currently holds around $200 billion of the $300 billion in Russian Central Bank assets frozen in the West after the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022.
Anything resembling confiscation would be illegal, and Euroclear is prepared to sue the EU if the bloc tries to force its hand on the matter, Urbain said.
“There are laws. Depending on the legal framework,we will decide what we can and want to do,”she added.
Legal action is “not out of the question,” Urbain said when asked to elaborate.
“The most important thing for Euroclear is credibility and trust… We are a crucial link that must remain infallible for the stability of financial markets.”
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has been pushing to use frozen Russian assets to back a €140 billion ($160 billion) loan to Ukraine, an initiative that Belgium has opposed, insisting on guarantees that the legal and financial risks will be shared across the EU.
The bloc’s decision to reclassify interest gained fromthe immobilized funds as “windfall profits” not belonging to Moscow– and to use them to fund Kiev –has already stretched legal definitions.
However, Ukraine’sWestern backers can no longer afford to keep funding it without seizing Russia’s sovereign funds, according to recent publications in the Economist and Financial Times.
Kiev has also struggled to secure a new loan from the International Monetary Fund, which has been further complicated by the massive corruption scandal recently uncovered in Ukraine.
According to the country’s KSE institute,Kiev’s collapsing budget faces a $53 billion a year shortfall – one that Western sponsors are expected to cover.
Moscow has long stated that it will view any attempts to confiscate its Central Bank assets as a “theft” that would fundamentally undermine third countries’ trust in Western financial institutions.
https://www.rt.com/news/627867-euroclear-oppose-russian-assets-seizure/
The weird thing is the EU will confirm they are an illegal union of theft, and they don’t have a problem with that. No wonder Trump’s tariffs are high in Europe.

Ukraine scrambles to limit damage from blockbuster corruption scandal
“Clearing any corruption in any government institution is a matter of dignity for our government,” prime minister tells POLITICO.
Nov. 14, 2025This is: we didn’t do Nothing, excuse1/2
KYIV — Ukraine isn’t hanging about in trying to fix the damage caused by a megabucks corruption scandal exposed this week.
Top officials are rushing to reassure Kyiv’s Western partners, after the alleged $100 million kickback scheme in the energy sector — which implicated current and former top officials, and some close associates of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy — troubled allies.
“We must act quickly and decisively on the battlefield and act equally in vital areas within the state. The government’stask is to show Ukrainian society and partners that under no circumstances will we tolerate corruption and will respond quickly to any facts,” Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko told POLITICO.
“We value our strong and permanent relations with foreign partners.It is important for us to maintain these relations, based on trust, and any threats to them are unacceptable,” she added. (No it based upon Ukraine to make sure the money stops.)
As the scandal mushroomed this week, Kyiv announced high-profile resignations, sanctions against Zelenskyy’s former business partner, a major audit and a reshuffle in the state energy companies, aiming to show Ukraine can effectively clean house.
“During a full-scale war of aggression, when Russia destroys our energy systemday after day and our people endure constant outages, we must fight corruption with the same determination as we fight the external threat,” Svyrydenko said. (How awful to have to fight corruption when Russia is bombing their asses. Their fake outrage for sympathy is typical cover.)
“In the most difficult times, our strength is unity.Clearing any corruption in any government institution is a matter of dignity for our government. We bear responsibility before our defenders,” she added.
That message was also promoted by Zelenskyy’s representatives.
“There is no room for impunity, whether you’re close or not close ally to someone,” Olga Stefanishyna, Ukrainian ambassador to the U.S., told NBC News on Thursday evening. “It’s not a nice thing, but also never in Ukraine’s history have we experienced that, and that means some things we created are really working.”
The corruption scandal rocked Kyiv at an awkward moment, as Ukraine is urging EU partners to take a huge risk and agree on a €140 billion reparation loan taken from seized Russian assets.
It needs financial assistance to survive likely the harshest winter since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. And allies who still want to back Kyiv also want answers on corruption.
“The president was very clear: For him, there is no such thing as an untouchable person involved in corruption or crime. He’s a very principled person. First of all, he himself is not corrupt,” Zelenskyy’s top adviser, Andriy Yermak, said in an interview with the Axel Springer Global Reporters Network, of which POLITICO is a part.
“Everything that has happened is the result of absolutely free investigations,” Yermak said. “It demonstrates that all these bodies are independent and working.”
Restoring trust
Citing Russian infiltration, Ukraine’s parliament in July abruptly voted in favor of a law that would have stripped independence from key anti-corruption watchdogs and placed them under political control.
Zelenskyy signed the bill into law, but U-turned under heavy pressure from Western allies who saw it as an anti-democratic move.
https://www.politico.eu/article/volodymyr-zelensky-ukraine-scrambles-limit-damage-from-blockbuster-corruption-scandal/
Try not to laugh or punch a wall, while reading!
2/2
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) was, at the time, investigating Tymur Mindich — Zelenskyy’s former business partner and co-owner of the Kvartal 95 Studio, a production company set up by the comedian-turned-president.
Mindich fled to Israel earlier this week before he was exposed by prosecutors as the alleged ringleader of the multimillion-dollar energy sector plot, and has not been reached for comment by POLITICO.
Kyiv has now unveiled a series of moves to reassure allies.One senior Ukrainian official, granted anonymity to speak candidly to POLITICO,said the leadership wants to show urgency in cleaning up corrupt schemes since they undermine the country as it faces Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ongoing onslaught.(KEK pathetic fuck bullshit. It’s such a burden to clean up huge corruption and pretend we aren’t thieves,while NABU is revealing our corruption,while fighting the evil Russia! Are you kidding me. Every excuse is always Russia, even though Russians had nothing to do with it.)
Those moves include the almost-immediate oustersof German Galushchecnko and Svitlana Hrynchuk, the ministers of justice and energy, respectively.
Zelenskyy announced Friday that Svyrydenko will submit new candidates for the posts.
In addition, the governmentannounced Tuesday the relaunch of the supervisory board of nuclear energy operator Energoatom — the state organization at the center of the scandal— and got rid of the company’s supervisory council and vice president.
A major financial audit was announced Wednesday of state procurement contracts in Energoatom and other state-owned companies, primarily from the energy sector.
The government also stopped the competition Thursday for the post running Ukraine’s state gas transportation system, as one of the finalists was featured on NABU wiretaps as a potential suspect in Mindich’s alleged schemes. In addition to that,the authorities instructed supervisory councils to conduct audits of all state strategic enterprises, primarily in the energy sector.
Ukrainian watchdogs, however, say that further steps will be required to fully restore trust.
A major new reform push could turn the reputational fiasco into an opportunity to show that Ukraine indeed wants to abolish corruption permanently, said Mykhailo Zhernakov, executive director of the Dejure Foundation, a judicial reform watchdog based in Kyiv.
“I do think the Ukrainian government has all the powers to show partners that,OK, we stumbled, but instead of offering pinpoint solutions, we are launching systematic changes,” Zhernakov said. (Really, a 100 million theft is a fucking stumble in Ukraine)
Late Friday, Yermak posted on Telegram that he’d met U.S. Charge D’Affairs in Ukraine Julie Davis and talked about the issues.
“We discussed the fight against corruption,” he said. “We expressed our shared belief that investigations into recent high-profile cases should be thorough, professional, and impartial, and should lead to real results, rather than being used to destabilize the situation in Ukraine in favor of Russia’s plans.” (Typical Politico bullshit)

Have to say it’s shock Glen is in love with MTG, but this shit is funny
‘I Love This Woman!’ Pro-MAGA Reporter Brian Glenn Goes to Bat for Girlfriend Marjorie Taylor Greene Amid Feud With Trump
Joe DePaoloNov 16th, 2025, 9:20 am
A pro-MAGA reporter caught in the middle of a feud between President Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene(R-GA) is publicly going to bat for the latter.
In a post to X on Saturday, Brian Glenn — who covers the White House for pro-Trump outlet Real America’s Voice —made a public declaration of his love for Greene, whom the president is attacking as a “traitor.”
“I love this woman,” Glenn wrote — posting several photos of himself alongside the congresswoman. “I love this country. God bless America.”
Greene — who says she has been the target of threats since Trump has gone after her — responded to her boyfriend in kind.
“I love you @brianglenntv,” Greene wrote.
The nasty spat between Trump and Greene has put Glenn in an awkward spot. Glenn has been nothing short of a cheerleader for the president — often getting called on during White House press engagements to deliver fawning praise or to tee Trump up for a rant about a political enemy.
But on Friday, Trump went nuclear on Glenn’s girlfriend.
“All I see ‘Wacky’ Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. He added, “I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.”
Glenn went on to mix it up with Pro-Trump activist Laura Loomer — who herself has been embroiled in a battle with Rep. Greene. Loomer started the heated exchange by responding to Glenn’s X post about Greene.
“Nobody cares, simp!” Loomer said — referring to Glenn’s declaration of love for Greene. “Trump should revoke your White House press pass.”
Glenn replied, “Shut up bitch” — although he put the remark in quotes and included a laughing emoji, making the exact nature of his remark somewhat unclear.
But Loomer appeared to interpret the comment as serious.
“Oh no,” Loomer wrote. “MTG’s boyfriend who cheated on his wife to be with an ape is calling me a bitch.How will I ever recover?”
