In my parent’s life (the great gen), their threats were WW1, The Dustbowl, The Great Depression, and WW2. Me, I consider the threats to have been Cuban Missile Crisis, 9-11, COVID. I thought that would be it. Then trump came along. The dangerous depth of depravity of trump's plan cannot be ignored.

In establishing a preliminary deal between the U.S. and Iran, President Trump “did what he always does: He abandoned all principle and all allies and put his personal interests above all other considerations,” the columnist Thomas Friedman writes.

Opinion | Trump Put His Own Interests Above All in the Iran Deal
The Iran deal wasn’t about peace but answering Trump’s personal needs.

Pedo-Trump concealed his Iran fiasco by insulting Netanyahu, and the media played along, seizing attention-grabbing headlines to mask his incompetence. Even his MAGA supporters saw him as a puppet, and his failed memorandum of understanding laid bare his powerlessness.

If the "doctor" Trump saw on his last medical visit looked like that image, he's much sicker than we thought.
Correction: Trump says his AI ‘Jesus’ post was actually ‘me as a doctor.’ The president explained that the now-deleted Truth Social image showing him healing the sick with his glowing bare hands actually wasn’t blasphemous. We regret the error.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

9/11 was carried out by 19 men. Fifteen were Saudi nationals. We responded by spending 25 years bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and now Iran. Nearly a million dead. $5.8 trillion spent. Bin Laden said bleed America through endless war. We wrote him the check.

They warn that government shouldn’t interfere with business, but also threaten companies if they take political positions the wrong way. If markets are supposed to be free, why does every disagreement become a political hearing?

Kash in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

Today, MAGA is losing it over this video of Pete Hegseth SLAMMING Trump.
“All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. He said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments.”
RT to ruin Trump’s day!

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
