… Trump posted a lengthy announcement on Truth Social on Sunday afternoon announcing that the US will commence a mission to escort ships out of the Strait of Hormuz while warning Iran not to launch any attacks:
Yeah, I think victims of circumstance aptly describes the rest of the human race when you’re dealing with Trump. According to that brain of his we are all suckers and losers.
Have you noticed that there has not been one word in the press about those two Air Force personnel who are rescued after their plane went down. They fall in Trump suckers and losers category.
Honestly I think that the other airlines have been making so much profit and lining their CEOs pockets and shareholders with $$$$$ and that's why they're not going out of business. I honestly don't know if the merger with JetBlue and spirit was the right thing or not, but Joe Biden wasn't the one; I believe it was Elizabeth Warren who gave the last and final nay that did not allow the merger to take place. I don't think this is a partisan issue. If Trump hadn't started the war we wouldn't be in this boat with gas costing so much and jet fuel going up like crazy.
They just need another excuse and using Biden again is always their go to. I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to know that the merger of two floundering companies isn't a good recipe for success.
Blanche: "Every time you walk into a restaurant you have to show ID." Now Blanche is sounding as cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs as Trump. Which restaurants make you show ID? Yeah, I thought so.
He mentioned bars, but the only bars I’m ever carded at are the ones at some airports because they card EVERYBODY. That’s it. I wasn’t carded at BWI, Sacramento, Denver, Los Angeles. I haven’t been carded at any other bars for a couple of decades.
If you only go to private members only (strip)clubs for meals you might have to show your membership card to get in I really can’t imagine having to show your ID to get into a restaurant. Unless he grew up in the USSR
How many more ridiculous attempts to manipulate the market, grifts, and ridiculous monuments and statues are we going to accept from this old demented man in the WH? This just needs to end and the Dems and Repugs need to represent the people and rid us of this scourge on humanity.
He needs to be shut down hard. Washington D.C. is not Mar-A-Lago, his to fill with tasteless bric-a-brac and monuments to himself. Anything he succeeds in building must immediately be bulldozed by the next president. Hopefully Trump will get to see it happen— from prison.
There is no way he wrote that missive. First, those many "innocent" countries contacted him in his mind only. Pure market manipulation. Also we all know he could care less about any of those people aboard those stranded ships.
Got to be Cheung. He was pissed the Nobel Committee passed on Donny for the Peace Prize despite the fact that “Trump has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will.”
I am not that much younger than he is and I do not know how he can stay up all night and post. I'm in bed and asleep long before he even starts those nightly nightmarish posts. The few naps he catches during the day cannot make up for a night of lost sleep.
I am sure the tourism will be hammered. If plane tickets go up too much Americans will avoid travel. Of course, trump hurt this industry by making our once beloved Allies like Canada our enemy.
I typically fly from St. Louis to Dulles a couple of times a year. The early, non-stop flight each way. It has always been about $375 with a refundable ticket and taxes. I checked last week and it was $1008 before any taxes. I guess my offspring doesn’t need to see me this year. I can afford it, but I will not pay it.
Yup! Airlines will take this opportunity to jack up prices way beyond the fuel cost increase. AND then afterwards they will bring them down just a little.
They will find out the hard economic reality of the laws of economics, supply and demand. The only way they can pull it off is monopolies.
It just dawned on me that all this internet conversation we are having is relatively inexpensive if not free. I now wonder when that will change? What do the tech bros have in mind ….? Gotta wonder …. hasn’t Putin turned off Russia’s internet?
I use to live next to an airplane mechanic. After he told me he would not fly because of these companies not adhering to proper maintenance, I avoid it at all costs.
Airfare has been going up for years. eg Southwest's activist investors demanded changes for the sole purpose of adding +1 Billion new revenue in 2026, and another +$1.5 Billion next year. And now with gas, car travel is much less travel option.
Now hedge funds and institutional investors have made Southwest just like every other carrier. Assigned seats (I don’t really care one way or the other), baggage fees, fees for better seats, probably fees I haven’t heard of.
This could put a real crimp in his pet World Cup event. Since the EU and many other countries are only months away from depletion of jet fuel, who will be able to come to the US?
Definitely, I believe AI wrote this article I stopped reading. The government is so corrupt! The part I laughed is now America is helping ships go through the Strait of Hormuz! How much will these ships have to pay for an escort? Really!
Probably to the Trumps, they are fraudsters helping themselves. Do your research each of them and everyone them a connection of being complicit. Follow the money, is where you find the what is really happening of illegal activity. They laugh cause their arrogance gets them in a bide hence another lie is created so easy to understand. Not complicated at all! Need to be in their faces to make them slip up. The old saying “is what is good for goose is good for gander”! 🇨🇦🫶🏻
Trump got a new mole on his nose oh it's Joe Biden's fault. 😂🤣 I think Trump needs hormone pills for his inconsistency on his professionalism like pulling all troops out of Germany total idiot he is.
He needs antipsychotics, but that’s contraindicated in frail dementia patients. He should be spending the rest of his life in a forensic psychiatry unit since he’s not well enough for prison.
For our protection and as part of his sentence, he needs to be cut off from social media and have the same limited access to the press as any other prisoner. No matter how damaged his mind and brain, there are people who will believe his insidious lies.
Yes. I laughed at gas prices of $4.49. Cleveland, Ohio is typically kind of mid-priced, but that price exists only in a few off-brand ghetto gas stations as of today. More typical as of today: $4.99. The station I usually use is $4.89. In February it was $2.89. So my tiny little gas tank (10 gallons) is $20 more to fill.
Interesting that Ty Cobb is trying to ring alarm bells about Trump's mental status. He was all-in with Trump during the first regime, but he has become quite the critic. This is a guy who has worked closely with Trump and now he's saying the mental decline is severe. (No kidding.) "Those are not the comments of a rational human being and certainly not presidential at all,” Cobb told MS NOW’s Ari Melber. “Likewise, yesterday you had the clear, deranged, demented, and insane note that he sent to the leaders of Norway, saying that because Norway, which has no control over the Nobel Peace Prize, hadn’t given it to him, that he was free to disregard peace and very interested in Greenland. I don’t think there’s anybody outside of the United States who believes that Trump is sane." https://newrepublic.com/post/205474/donald-trump-cognitive-decline-ty-cobb
Edited to add: Cobb said that in January. But I read somewhere today that he is again bringing up Trump's mental state.
Yo, Mr. Whitey Blanche, I have NEVER been asked to show my ID in a restaurant. Are you by chance on the America's Most Wanted posters?
… Todd Blanche was asked on NBC why the Trump admin was demanding the Save Act be passed: "There's a lot of things we can be doing, like voter ID. Every time you walk into a restaurant you have to show ID.
We already have voter ID in Ohio, have since 2006. The problem is the constant changes, tightening it up and limiting what's acceptable in order to confuse voters despite NOT ONE verified case of in person voter fraud at the polls in those 20 years.
Yes, it's interesting how the handful of times a REAL incident of fraud happens it's Republican. Like they want to ban mail-in ballots because they claim someone else could fill them in for you. Oh, look what party forced a whole new congressional election in North Carolina because the candidate's campaign was collecting and filling in absentee ballots. (It begins with "R".)
And those people (maybe 2 dozen nationwide) who committed voter fraud by voting in two states or voting for a deceased relative still on the voter rolls. Mostly registered R. My favorite was the one who voted for his dead mother and said he thought it was ok because "If my mom were alive she would've voted for Trump."
… “People close to the president don’t want Mace as governor..."
It's not just people close to the president! We don't want her either, nor Ralph Norman! Norman has been running ads here saying he wants term limits for politicians. This from someone who's been in office for 9 years now. 🙄🙄
Executive level term limits make some kind of sense. Legislative term limits are basically gerrymandering's partner: they rob the voters of real representation and hand it to special interests and billionaires. This has played out in Ohio. It's no accident that term limits in Ohio, which started in the late 90s, were cooked up by a rightwing "think" tank.
I agree and have always opposed congressional term limits. What we need to throw out is super PACs, claiming corporations are people, and all dark money in political campaigns. Let's not throw out the power of voters to decide or popular representatives with a proven track record and valuable legislative experience. It's like throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
Absolutely. People don't realize term limits give the ultra-wealthy MORE power because building a constituency and relationships in your community no longer count. The brand-new candidates this keeps bringing on board will win based on how much big money support they have, i.e. who buys them the election. This is absolutely how it has played out in Ohio. when I was an investigative journalist back in 2010-11, I explored this in depth. It was all about dark money, which yeah, you're right, needs to be reined in. It's why I support the "Move to Amend" movement: a simple constitutional amendment that simply says "Corporations are not people and money is not speech." That amputates the arguments the Supreme Court used in decisions like McCutcheon and Citizens United.
NY Times: "Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney in Washington, signaled on Sunday that federal prosecutors were still interested in investigating Jerome H. Powell, the Federal Reserve chair who had faced a criminal inquiry regarding a renovation of the Fed’s headquarters amid President Trump’s demands that the central bank lower interest rates." Feeling like a fool yet, Thom Tillis? This was obvious to anyone with half a brain when Pirro dropped the charges but at the same time left open the possibility of reinstituting them. Thanks for nothing, pal. "Enjoy" your retirement.
Yeah, I think victims of circumstance aptly describes the rest of the human race when you’re dealing with Trump. According to that brain of his we are all suckers and losers.
Brain?? You give him far more credit than I do.😁
Have you noticed that there has not been one word in the press about those two Air Force personnel who are rescued after their plane went down. They fall in Trump suckers and losers category.
Because they probably don't exist. It was a cover story for a failed mission by the US to grab their uranium.
Deborah, I expect you are correct.
There's more to that story I think, and I hope there will be an investigation. They've probably tried to pay them to keep quiet about the "rescue".
Not if you're rich, a King, or keep your nose planted firmly in his stinky arse.
Thus he’s making us: suckers & losers - Made in His Image….
Honestly I think that the other airlines have been making so much profit and lining their CEOs pockets and shareholders with $$$$$ and that's why they're not going out of business.

Blanche: "Every time you walk into a restaurant you have to show ID." Now Blanche is sounding as cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs as Trump. Which restaurants make you show ID? Yeah, I thought so.
Blanche was confusing restaurants with grocery stores.
Joke, right? I never have to show my ID in grocery stores either.
Trump said that. I remember. Dumb psycho
Spoken by someone who has probably never actually been in a grocery store, or purchased one grocery item on his own.
Yeah, I remember that too, but it's a lie, as usual.
Yah it took me a couple of seconds to get the joke too 😝
You got the joke!
🤣🤣🤣
Clearly!
The "Liquor Cabinet" only goes to bars.. But UNlikely any of them would be carded.
He mentioned bars, but the only bars I’m ever carded at are the ones at some airports because they card EVERYBODY. That’s it. I wasn’t carded at BWI, Sacramento, Denver, Los Angeles. I haven’t been carded at any other bars for a couple of decades.
They card me at McDonald's EVERY time when I go through the drive up. These clowns just pull stuff out of their ass.
I'm a 79 year-old Black female and I've never once been asked to show ID. If that was the rule, I would have been asked every time.
Right. Understood.
If you only go to private members only (strip)clubs for meals you might have to show your membership card to get in I really can’t imagine having to show your ID to get into a restaurant. Unless he grew up in the USSR
Blanche is pathetic! Both the Trump DOJ and Blanche have zero credibility!
How many more ridiculous attempts to manipulate the market, grifts, and ridiculous monuments and statues are we going to accept from this old demented man in the WH? This just needs to end and the Dems and Repugs need to represent the people and rid us of this scourge on humanity.

Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?
Will no one rescue us from this feculent creep?
There is no way he wrote that missive. First, those many "innocent" countries contacted him in his mind only. Pure market manipulation. Also we all know he could care less about any of those people aboard those stranded ships.
Who is actually writing those "Truth Social" posts? They don't sound like Trump.
I would bet it’s the two Stevens. Miller and Cheung.
Wouldn't surprise me. Although Cheung probably writes the most deranged ones. He just can't help himself.
Got to be Cheung. He was pissed the Nobel Committee passed on Donny for the Peace Prize despite the fact that “Trump has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will.”
Move mountains of what? 🤣
Language use is too adult for him.
Mao Zedong Cheung. He is the ghost writer IMO.
um, who is with him at 2am?
Makes you wonder, doesn't it.
I bet whoever it is can post on the account from wherever they are
I am not that much younger than he is and I do not know how he can stay up all night and post. I'm in bed and asleep long before he even starts those nightly nightmarish posts. The few naps he catches during the day cannot make up for a night of lost sleep.
He has underwriters now. He sounded even crazier before.
I am sure the tourism will be hammered. If plane tickets go up too much Americans will avoid travel. Of course, trump hurt this industry by making our once beloved Allies like Canada our enemy.

It just dawned on me that all this internet conversation we are having is relatively inexpensive if not free. I now wonder when that will change? What do the tech bros have in mind ….? Gotta wonder …. hasn’t Putin turned off Russia’s internet?
The horror nightmare continues…
Wow, I always try to avoid flying.
Flew Breeze recently. It was fine. But I don't do it for fun.
I use to live next to an airplane mechanic. After he told me he would not fly because of these companies not adhering to proper maintenance, I avoid it at all costs.

Southwest used to be special. Then oligarchs or other idiots forced it into the mold of other airlines. Very aggravating.
Not to mention new invasive customs/border requirements to allow them to look at your social media posts.
Congress just gave the approval to spy on any American. This should be very concerning to every American.
It IS.
This could put a real crimp in his pet World Cup event. Since the EU and many other countries are only months away from depletion of jet fuel, who will be able to come to the US?
Thanks Ron for bringing us the straight facts and showing this evil regime for what they are. Great job!
Ansari's Patel impression is hilarious.
It took me a while to figure out who that was last night.
Definitely, I believe AI wrote this article I stopped reading. The government is so corrupt! The part I laughed is now America is helping ships go through the Strait of Hormuz! How much will these ships have to pay for an escort? Really!
And whose bank account will the payments go into? 🤔
Probably to the Trumps, they are fraudsters helping themselves. Do your research each of them and everyone them a connection of being complicit.

The concept of the deal. Sounds familiar.
Yes, I find it similar to the "concept of a health care plan that will be better than ever!"
They call the Trump Doral golf course the “blue monster”. They should change the name to the orange monster…
Trump got a new mole on his nose oh it's Joe Biden's fault. 😂🤣 I think Trump needs hormone pills for his inconsistency on his professionalism like pulling all troops out of Germany total idiot he is.
He needs an entirely new brain and personality.
He needs antipsychotics, but that’s contraindicated in frail dementia patients. He should be spending the rest of his life in a forensic psychiatry unit since he’s not well enough for prison.
For our protection and as part of his sentence, he needs to be cut off from social media and have the same limited access to the press as any other prisoner. No matter how damaged his mind and brain, there are people who will believe his insidious lies.
The prices of *everything* are going to continue to skyrocket.
Yes. I laughed at gas prices of $4.49. Cleveland, Ohio is typically kind of mid-priced, but that price exists only in a few off-brand ghetto gas stations as of today. More typical as of today: $4.99. The station I usually use is $4.89. In February it was $2.89. So my tiny little gas tank (10 gallons) is $20 more to fill.
A bag of Ruffles chips 7.29.
No shit?
😮

Tillis is the North Carolina version of Susan Collins.
We should get him some pearls to clutch as a retirement present. (Fake pearls, of course.)
Tillis knew damn well what was gonna happen; he just wanted to *appear* to support an independent Fed.
