It’s Monday, which means it’s time for another fat pipe!
As a reminder, I will be off on a much-needed adventure and break from July 24th through August 3rd.
Trump and Epstein
How bad is the Epstein debacle going for Trump? So bad he got ratioed hard on his own Truth Social platform:

Here are the first three comments that appeared for me when I clicked the post:

Trump’s Boomer wall-o-text did not land very well among…well, anybody except maybe Catturd and a rapidly dwindling pool of “6D chess Trump was sent by God” devotees.
We’re all mentally making the same translation:

Lots of people feel this way:
I didn’t vote for war with Ukraine. I didn’t vote for increased spending. I didn’t vote for Elon musk hate. I didn’t vote for an Epstein cover up. I didn’t vote for bombing Iran. The last month Trump and the Trump administration has been an absolute joke.

You know it’s bad when the next topic is trending:
Burning The MAGA Hats
This seems to be something of a trend:

America is getting increasingly close to how the rest of the democratic free world already feels — when the burning of a MAGA hat will be seen as no different than the burning of a swastika. 😳👇 pic.twitter.com/tLPmf0YUXO

Ukraine
Don’t look now, but Russia has taken off the gloves.
Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack on Ukraine: 728 drones and 13 missiles were used—an all-time record, says Clash Report. “296 drones were shot down. 415 were jammed or lost via electronic warfare.” pic.twitter.com/v5LYPm5ijv

Truly massive drone wave-attacks are systematically dismantling Ukraine’s infrastructure:

The US under Trump is proving to be no different than under Biden:
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte:Ukraine will receive military equipment from Europe, and then United States will replace that equipment for Europe.Patriots will arrive "within days" – President Trump.Mark Rutte:But it will mean that Ukraine can get his hands on really… pic.twitter.com/Gaa69vEdml

This would be one of Russia’s ‘red lines’ (which have proven to be somewhat more malleable and forgiving than that term might imply).

Putin has noticed:
🇷🇺‼️Putin: I realized too late – the conflict with the West was not ideological‼️ July 13, 2025 Russian President Vladimir Putin opened a new dimension to his political narrative, admitting that he had misinterpreted the motives behind the West's attitude towards Russia. 👇 pic.twitter.com/P5DKSZ9vYa

This was a very important interview that I think marks a true ground-shift in Russia’s stance, which has potentially profound implications for peace in Europe…none of them good.

Basically, Putin finally figured out, after some self-reflection, that he had made a mistake. He thought the West could be reasoned and negotiated
