Great reporting, and for anyone who don’t think Trump is a great leader knows nothing about cults. Thankfully, the world has woken up to see who we are, now it’s our turn.

Today Churchill would declare “Americans can always be counted on to do the wrong thing…after they have exhausted all other possibilities.”

So well written. Certainly makes a person understand even more what this "president " is doing to our country and our allies. It's sad that it's not possible to wear the American flag. I pray for the day (soon, hopefully) that we can start to repair our country and relationships with the world.

This is beautiful in a sad kinda way. I hope everyone in Greenland (and Europe!) reads it. Somehow we need to let them know the vast majority of Americans are still who we always were, and also to never ever capitulate to trump and to be strong and rely on each other, not the US.

Cheeto’s Lying Is Part Of The Bigger Picture

Even if Cheeto’s tongue was notarized he would still be lying….that’s just the way this sadistic malignant narcissist operates His alternative reality, the way he sees the world, is meant to deceive and gaslight everyone he comes into contact with….political allies, adversaries, the American people WE remember that COVID would go away by summer, WE remember that inflation would go away on Day One, WE remember that he had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein

But as Lincoln once said “you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time” WE the People have heard enough In Marc Elias’ column(https://bit.ly/3ZzvHEu) he brilliantly but succinctly discusses the association between lies and violence but takes it one step further He associates both lies and violence to an authoritarian means to subvert and destroy free and fair elections THIS is the end game….to destroy democracy by doing what he claims that “elections are rigged”

Well, that’s true because he’s the one doing the rigging

Thanks

And also thanks to HuffPost as well:

… HuffPost WH correspondent S.V. Date: “I have said it before, the US political reporters have no idea how to cover what’s going on. Right now they’re treating this as bad PR for Trump and govt shutdown odds. The only reporters covering Trump right now should be those who have covered Putin, Orban, Erdogan, etc. Outlets should recall their correspondents from Moscow, Budapest, Ankara, Havana, Caracas, Beijing. We need people who know how to write about dangerous autocrats who don’t worry about whether Susie Wiles will return their texts if they accurately describe what happened.”

Love and hate the Churchill quote at the same time. The ability to think critically and see the big picture seems to have been squashed in our general society and way too many of our politicians are prime examples. It is a fervent wish of my old heart that this country’s leaders finally wake up from the fever dream of dominance and empire they seem to be stuck in and we finally get the the chance for clearer minds who realize we are all in this together to be in control again and somehow STOP this mess…or at least mitigate the damage already inflicted by the selfishness of the tiny minds in power

Well done. It highlights what the administration wants to keep buried under the bed. I sincerely hope that our allies believe what Trumpolini says. He is saying out loud his plan to move forward. Do not try to make peace with him! Any moves on the table to cut him at his game MUST be used! The heads of this country are evil. They are not lost or brainwashed, this was always the plan and they have just gotten started. Protect yourself world!

Signed, an American that is truly apologetic for the evil we created.

Oh my god, although they say there is extensive vetting I don't believe it. Just recently

Laura Jedeed, a freelance journalist and military veteran, says she was offered a job by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after minimal vetting. Remember the TV show The Americans? About a family of Russian agents who passed as american husband and wife.

Out of 3000 agents in Minneapolis is there 1% Manchurian Candidates? 30 agents that PUSH to provoke violence. It is so so easy. And the results pay off 100 fold. The Russians (PUTINP LOVES what is going on in our country. And Trump plays right into the chaos. Trump wants CHAOS. And PUTIN loves CHAOS in the USA. Ok maybe I have too much 'conspiracy' in me but it doesn't take a lot of 'reds' to create the chaos that has been going on in Minneapolis. And when you have both Trump and PUTIN wanting the CHAOS for different goals then we are in trouble.

Who has really vetted 100% of the ICE and BP. Could someone slip in. YOU BETCHA. And not one person has talked about the possibility. Ok I just did. Now who will check it out.
