Blissfully married, dog nut, Latvian, bibliophile. Opinions, based on facts; typos, mine. Stand with Ukraine; Putin is a terrorist. Vote blue💙 #resist, never Trump. NO DM's unless I know you or OK; will block. VA girl now🐦 Latvians.com
One of the first things dictators do is take control of the media. However, in North Korea, China, Russia, WWII Germany, and others, those dictators were a bit more savvy (under-handed) about it. Trump brags about being a crooked autocrat.🤬
Perhaps a Freudian slip, with Trump wanting everything gold. Or just another of my many typos😁
So, they're using 'executive time' again, which his chief of staff first term came up with to cover his extended gold outings and TV time.
Are we sure they were 'spitting?'🤔🤣
I have no illusions that we've seen the bottom of Trump's depravity; that was reinforced this morning when I saw that he was fund-raising off of our dead soldiers.🤬🤬
But I'm assuming you made your own kefir? The store-bought we had was when we lived in NYC, from an Eastern European market, and it was still crap. Perhaps it's better now, we do have a Polish market close by. I'll be looking for your video.
Just wow. Over here, hubby is excited that I'm going to bake banana bread, just waiting for the nanners to ripen. Considering I might, just might, bake once a year or so, I understand ;-)
Trump's post translated:
I didn't plan ahead for the global oil crisis. I'm clueless what to do about it, so every country that receives oil through the Strait of Hormuz needs to help me blow up Iranian assets.
Today's fun fact:
Competitive art used to be an Olympic sport. Between 1912 and 1948, the international sporting event awarded medals for music, painting, sculpture, and architecture.
Turkey’s foreign minister said Saturday that there is no serious initiative to resume negotiations between the United States and Iran but that he believes Iran is open to back-channel talks.

Wow, this looks just like the tiger in me....so tired😁
I definitely don't put false flag attacks past Trump.
No, you make a good point. That said, it's difficult to imagine a worse Sec. of Defense than Hegseth, but of course it could happen.

@sykescharlie.bsky.social and Justin Wolfers critique the miscalculations of Trump's Iran war. Rising oil prices are a tax on Americans, not economic boon. Jobs are stagnating and mortgage rates rising. Lifting sanctions on Russia funds its war on Ukraine.

Trump may be trying to provoke an attack on American soil

While articles like this always make us cheer for Ukraine, now Russia will have an influx of money due to Trump removing sanctions. I expect that Russia will use this money to amp up their attacks on Ukraine.
Why is #ICE detaining children?
Is to discourage other families from coming? Well, according to Trump, the border's completely closed.
So what's the point?
Why are CHILDREN & BABIES being put in concentration camps with foul food & water, deprived of medical care & tortured?

“The US is in the ‘F**k Around & Find Out’ stage of Trump’s madness, fueled by war fanatic Pete ‘Maximum Lethality’ Hegseth, surrounded by a confederacy of dunces…undergirded by a feckless Republican-led Congress that does not know its constitutional purpose.”

Republican lawmakers never expressed concern over RFK Jr's actions, having happily confirmed him as HHS Secretary. Now that RFK Jr's horrible policies and rhetoric will impact the midterms, they want to muzzle him. www.rawstory.com/rfk-jr-chaos...

This article explains why the Russians are jumping for joy because of Trump's gift to them—the removal of sanctions so Russia can put that money into attacking Ukraine. Gift article, no paywall.

With Trump, there is no bottom.
He put out a fundraising email to exploit the death of our six fallen soldiers, including a picture of him in that stupid hat. He promises donators privy to his private security briefings, and his lemmings will be all over it.
