So job loss is a feature not a bug of Trumpian techno-economic worldview, amirite?

β€˜Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students β€” and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

It is not just Trump. It is the entire Republican Party and their followers.
Banana Republics need Banana Republicans.

Folks who didn’t grow up in American evangelicalism & think that β€œwe’re at war to kick off Armaggedon” story sounds far-fetchedβ€”it isn’t. There are many folksβ€”lots now in positions of powerβ€”who desperately want war in the Middle East because it’s required by their interpretation of Biblical prophecy

Trump is a serial sexual abuser. He has no interest in developing a long-term relationship with the women he violates. Once he is gratified he moves on to his next victim. The same is true of his military abuse. I expect he will move on from Iran once he tires of bombing them.

Not only does Trump and Bibi's war against Iran distract from the Epstein files, it really distracts from Putin's even more deadly and destructive war against Ukraine.

I’m interested. Like to learn more about both.

NOT JUST THIS:

Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers.

This could be a major night in NC.

So basically in attacking Iran Trump is riding shotgun for Bibi.

If there is any truth to this sleeper cell narrative, now would certainly seem to be the time for Iran to send the signal for such cells to go into action.

The US public was led to believe there were dozens if not scores of sleeper cells embedded across the US, waiting for a sign from their Middle Eastern masters to set in action well-planned terrorist attacks within the US.

For the first 49+ years of my life there was no Department of Homeland Security in the United States. When DHS was created in 2004, one of the threats that it was intended to protect the homeland against was the sleeper cell.

Screenshot of a 3hr old post from the GW Hatchet: β€œBREAKING: GW sold its Virginia campus to Amazon Data Services, an Amazon subsidiary that manages the company's data centers, for $427 million on Friday.

GWβ€˜s student newspaper appears to have broken the story that the institution has sold a satellite campus to Amazon to be turned into a data center, which is just about chef’s kiss for the state of American higher education rn

And now he is emceeing a medal of honor ceremony in the midst of starting a war that threatens to engulf the entire Middle East.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
