So…..Trump says high gas prices are making us money 🤔.

This may be something a bunch of psychos wearing red hats and waving desicrated flags with Trumps face plastered on them would believe. But not normal actual American people.

people are aware that america isn't even really a democracy, right?

its a republic. we "elect" a handful of representatives, and those rich, corrupt individuals make all of our decisions for us

we don't vote on anything meaningful, only what they allow us to. that's not a democratic government.

When Trump says "we make a lot of money," he's talking about his Big Oil donors.

They spent spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024, and the investment is paying off quite well for them.

Oligarchy in action.

The Most Dangerous Corporation in America? The AI surveillance state is real — and it's being built by Palantir.

Palantir Technologies raked in $1.5 BILLION in income last year — including from lucrative taxpayer-funded DHS contracts — and paid ZERO federal income tax.

It's fast becoming the most dangerous and least accountable corporation in America.

Trump Made Massive “Tactical Error” on Iran During Ukraine Talks One U.S. official described it as the biggest mistake Donald Trump made in the lead-up to the war.

The decision to snub the offer is now being discussed as one of the biggest miscalculations thus far in the Iran war.

“If there’s a tactical error or a mistake we made leading up to this [war in Iran], this was it,” a U.S. official told Axios Tuesday.

An underrated anti-war film, directed by Paul Greengrass and starring Matt Damon, called Green Zone, was released 16 years ago today. It follows a U.S. Army officer in Iraq who uncovers that the search for weapons of mass destruction is based on manipulated intelligence.

I think it’s a little much to ask lower ranking officers, NCOs & junior enlisted ranks to risk court martial & imprisonment for disobeying orders - the law requires they presume orders are legal. It’s the upper ranks that should make those decisions.

So has anybody seen ANY active duty military members defying orders since this war is OBVIOUSLY unconstitutional?

NO?
Then let's put the whole "remember your Oaths to the Constitution" shtick to rest.

The military won't save us.

And don’t forget, Russia seem to own some of these U.S. warehouse properties that DHS is trying to buy up. And in doing so, it’s been reported, that the US government is overpaying Russian LLCs for these properties. Buy millions upon millions of dollars. Pretty easy to investigate laundering.

A Russian owned a warehouse in Social Circle, GA that is a camp. The Trump Admin. paid him 10X more than it was worth. It’s been on the Atlanta News. Local news is usually honest. We should use the camps we paid 10X too much for to house MAGA. USA, USA, USA, Let’s Make America Great Again! Amen!
