Trump's Reckless Threats With Our Troops Got a Minute or Two? Mad Hattery and Other Outrages...in Japan

George Washington warned us about a reckless demagogue who could exploit the power of the presidency to feast “on the ruins of public liberty.”

Americans deserve to know if there is a quid pro quo with any of the 37 donors who have funded Trump’s gilded ballroom. I’ve written to all of them asking about the money they've given & if any deals were made in exchange for their contributions.

How Big Tech uses NDAs to hide AI data center details from Americans Big Tech companies use secrecy agreements with local governments to keep communities from knowing who is building in their backyards.

Big tech doesn't want the public to know what they're doing, or the financial and personal harm to a community from their costly new data centers. They're demanding land sellers and public officials sign NDAs to hide the details of the projects from Americans.

Trump Announces Tariff Increase on Canada Over Reagan Ad Spat

“Trump doubled down on Saturday in his feud with Canada over a television ad that used audio of former President Ronald Reagan denouncing tariffs, saying he would punish the country with an additional 10 percent tariff on its goods.”

I wonder how many foreign agents are scrambling to be on the Epstein Ballroom construction crew so they can plant listening devices all over that bitch.

Time to stop shopping at businesses that allow federal agents to kidnap your neighbors. Drop Home Depot. Go to Ace and Lowe's instead.

Something unexpected happened at the @meidascanada.ca town hall in Victoria.
A group of young Afghan girls who escaped the Taliban showed up and asked to speak. They told their story of the fight for education and the need for Canada to help.
We will be sharing their story.

While we’re on the subject of Ronald Reagan.

Yet he proudly openly discriminates against LBTQA+

Left-wing firebrand Catherine Connolly wins Ireland presidential election Catherine Connolly says she will be ‘an inclusive president for all of you’ after winning the election

➡️The former barrister from Galway, who secured a landslide victory, arrived with her family to Dublin Castle for the result declaration.

➡️She was embraced by the leaders of the left-wing opposition parties that united to back her and who hailed it as a significant victory for the left.

Of course, birds of a feather ….

Notice how fast the billionaire stepped up to fund the military, but no one is stepping up to fund SNAP?

No one will step up to fight for a living wage, healthcare, disability supports or education.

They want to keep us down because it benefits them.

The billionaires will always stick together.

Weekend Update #156: Sanctions, Sanctions, Sanctions? Ukrainian Ranged Sanctions are far more Effective, Russian Advances in October

Hi All, Just sent out my free weekend updates. This was the week when the Trump administration once again blocked the two most effective sanctions it could bring against Russia (Graham-Blumenthal and aid for Ukraine's ranged campaign). open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

This is exactly what the Parasite 1% Class has wanted to increase profits.

Trump Is Actually Failing Fast—and the Rabid MAGA Bigwigs Know It Yes, he’s done enormous damage. But he’s unpopular, the courts are checking him, and freako-extremists like Curtis Yarvin have thrown in the towel.

🚨 Trump FAILING

Trump spends so much time & treasure PROSECUTING his FEAR of democracy—trying to CRUSH dissent, flex as a massively INCONTINENT monarch, FIX elections, & DISABLE rivals, incl anyone who might open the #EpsteinFiles— that he NEGLECTS his stated goals

One of the most infuriating things about Trump is knowing he duped Virginia Giuffre into voting for him by vowing to release the Epstein files. Promises made, promises broken. She believed him
& was betrayed again by a predator. The only promise Trump has kept is to be the worst version of himself.

This year, while checking newspaper covers across 5 European countries (UK, Spain, Italy, France & Germany - last l via Google translate as I don’t speak 🇫🇷/🇩🇪) & U.S., I’ve noticed newspapers (at least center-to-left ones) in places that lived thru fascism are best at calling out US dictatorial turn.

Every country has a powerful right wing that argue “if you tax the wealthy, they’ll leave”

We need to start calling their bluff.

We need to make it so the ultra wealthy either contribute enough to be a positive part of society, or be globally shunned and unable to extract further funds from us.

Somehow states need to stop funding the fed govt!

Not as many than are working on the 90,000 sq ft bunker underneath it.
