Simple truth!

Love it. Just discovered your tree art. I have long wished to draw trees but I am hopeless at any kind of drawing. Your drawings are wonderful.

Sure! It does help that I don’t live in the US! Both parties are not very different when it comes to interfering in other counties for their own gain.

As an outsider, I realise that America for decades has manipulated, or been complicit in overthrowing govts it does not like, or wants its resources or is in a power play. The myth of America as the Good Guys has become so ingrained but is now exposed for what it is. It is in terminal decline.

Americans are letting trump run rampant. Democrats look like wet rats… zero leadership and no focus. So, not enough people are doing anything to stop trump. In any case, the Democrats are just as complicit in genocide and interfering in everyone else’s affairs.

America is in a fast decline.

This is being forgotten in the excitement over Epstein.

See you all at The Hague.

Coincidentally, this is the same price as snake oil.

I truly do not understand how Israel gets away with this. What has happened to our humanity? β€œNever again”. What a sick joke.

At least the world has an excuse that it didn't know that Hitler did his genocides against the Jews. Because Hitler did in secret.

But now, the world simply turns a blind eye to Bibi Netanyahu doing his genocides against the Palestinians OPENLY in Gaza and now the West Banks

This. Time to say goodbye, thank you and move along to the tired GOP lite Dem establishment. Listen to the base. Listen to new generations. Listen for new ideas. Embrace, celebrate, real change.

China is already taking up the slack. The US ignores this at its peril.

Tariffs.
Stock market down.
Medicaid slashed
Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans.
National guard and marines deployed in LA.
No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine
Bombing Iran

This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

β€œGod bless Israel,” Trump says.

Trump’s priorities are clear.

Americans are going to die for this, but at least Israel got what it wanted.

Mr. β€œNow new wars” just fucking bombed Iran WITHOUT congressional authority.

Congrats MAGA.
