This is the real genius of Trump & the only thing heโ€™s great at doing: He can con people and they still support him. He can sell them useless crap, steal every penny they own, kick their spouse out of the country, take away their healthcare and his marks will still support him wholeheartedly.

I keep asking the same question: Why are Republican senators (people who have the power to rein in RFK) ok with this? They eat the same food we do, get the same diseases, have family that could be effected yet the dismantling of all expertise seems not to bother them.

Thatโ€™s a good point. ICE thugs canโ€™t be given awards or commendations unless theyโ€™re completely secret.

God I hope weโ€™re not headed towards war in the streets.

We all watched in real time as Elon fiddled with Grok to make it more aligned with his personal world view. I think it was a great example of how AI can be manipulated and tailored to reflect personal viewpoints rather than universal reality.

They started with masks & caps. Now theyโ€™re wearing glasses, gloves and scarves so that we canโ€™t see any part of their body. This is not normal. I think itโ€™s making them feel invincibleโ€”as though they were completely invisible to onlookers and could do whatever they liked without consequences.

Itโ€™s so obvious that Trump is not listening to RFK when it comes to his health. RFK is allowed to spew whatever nonsense he wants to the masses but when it comes to the president, Trump sides with the experts.

The way they work in a pack with one of them ready to shoot anyone who attempts to help her, makes them look feralโ€”more like professional kidnappers & not at all like trained cops.

All those doctors, researchers, virologistsโ€”basically anyone working in science & medicineโ€”must be those Democrats doing democratic jobs that Trump said he would fire. I think in his mind ICE & military are Republican jobs; foreign affairs, education, & science are Democratic jobs.

Next year Trump is going to be showered with brand new awards. His base heard he wants a Nobel Prize; if they could force the Nobel committee to do what they want, they would do whatever it takes. They canโ€™t so heโ€™ll have to make do with what ever prize they can manufactureโ€”just like Tim Cook did.

In Idaho! Where there are a lot of creepy Sovereign Citizens, Christian Nationalists & White Supremacy groups. Of all the states, I think Idaho might be the absolute worst choice for a military base established by & for an Arabic country.

His explanation is that he used to run/hike first and then go directly to the gym. He trained himself to workout in jeans so he wouldnโ€™t have to change clothes. 2 problems with that: 1) Why does he run in jeans? 2) Why does he run before working out?

Idaho is a place that is well known for embracing people from around the world. ๐Ÿ™„

Iโ€™m nervous that before the AI bubble crashes, Trump is going to pass one of his ludicrous EOs, something like declaring all workers in America must use AI on the job.

Fox should start their own Golden Awards for Best Leader, Best Deal Maker, Best Dressed, Handsomest Man, Best Orator, & Best Daddy & give all the Golden Fox Prizes to Trump. If theyโ€™re looking to people outside their cult to bestow awards on their guy, theyโ€™re going to be perpetually disappointed.

According to Fox, weโ€™re now supposed to be against โ€œinternationalistsโ€ visiting the US โ€”especially during international sports events we hold here. ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

Cool: Hosting international events like the Olympics in the USA

Not Cool: Allowing people from other countries to visit the USA

I sure wish Trump was the wonderful humanitarian and genius leader his staff pretends he isโ€”wouldnโ€™t that be great!

Trump screws American consumers againโ€”this time ensuring that people in Nevada continue to pay higher prices for electricity.

Without enough Federal Air Traffic Controllers, flights in smaller cities will be canceled. Burbank California already had to close down because of a lack of controllers. Thatโ€™s why Trump had to end the last shut down. People canโ€™t work without pay for more than a paycheck or two.

Political appointees used to be normal but as the Fed bureaucracy got larger, we realized that having career bureaucrats was better. Federal workers became better at their jobs because they werenโ€™t fired every 4 years. Trump & Voight want a smaller bureaucracy w/ workers who can easily be fired.

I think itโ€™s because itโ€™s too horrifying for people to truly grapple with so they dismiss it with excuses like โ€œit happened a long time ago,โ€ or โ€œ14 is young but they werenโ€™t actually children.โ€

Hopefully we can unite with the Right over this topic. No more AIPAC money.

Iโ€™m still not resigned to him keeping the plane. I wish Democrats in power would keep throwing this in his face because itโ€™s illegal, immoral, unamerican, andโ€”most importantlyโ€”unconstitutional.

As always, Evan Hurstโ€™s humor cuts like a Ginsu knife. The Watters/ Miller public love affair is hilariously revolting.

โ€œJohn โ€“ despite having no medical training โ€“ chose to shun conventional medicine in favour of injecting her with water from a local stream.โ€

Ok Iโ€™m sold. I will be listening to the podcast series, โ€œHell in Heavenโ€ about the billionaire couple moving to the jungle & the death by gunshot of John.

And now news has come out that the victims who were rounded up with their children and then eventually released by ICE because their papers were in order returned home to find the apartment building boarded up & all their possessions gone. These are poor people who had done nothing wrong.

Yes! This story really needs to blow up. It has everything. Trump steals $20 billion of our tax money to give to his friend. Heโ€™s putting Argentinaโ€™s people ahead of our own. He wouldnโ€™t give a dime to UNICEF! but 1 venture capitalist gets loads of cash from us to protect his investment.

The Argentinian bailoutโ€”in which Trump gives that country $20 billion of our tax dollarsโ€”is even worse than first reported. Watch the video.

The emoluments clause does not apply to people who are not in the government. Clinton can accept all the gifts he wants because he has no say in how the US responds to other nations. Trump, OTOH, is president with all the power of the office to make deals.
