The Blame Game - knowing an absolute idiot like Chris Wright runs the NUCLEAR Regulatory Commission should scare the hell out of everyone

Sanewashing by the media - this is why they are hated and why Independent Media is so important

Iran is a little closer to Florida than LA. I live in Florida so I’m not advocating it as a target. Just sayin’.

This rhetoric should NEVER be sanewashed. I believe this is a precursor for what is coming. Trump is desperate to retain power. He will do anything to cancel the midterms. I mean, ANYTHING! If it means to attack your own country, declare a National Emergency and blame Iran, he will do it.

To the Democrats in Congress:

“Loose lips sink ships.” And wayward words release their swords.

“They can take out a city. Let them take, let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay,”

There is no amount of spin that can change the meaning of the words that Trump said, out loud and in public, he called out for an action against two American cities. Put in context, when he asked for action against an American presidential candidate from a foreign adversary, for Russia to deliver Hilary’s emails, they did and he was grateful. It was disturbing then, what he has done now is reckless, dangerous and treasonous. If it were merely the meanderings of a cognitively impaired elder, he could just be returned to his care facility, but where Trump returns to is the Oval Office. Whatever the President says, whoever the President is, comes with a certain sense of gravatas and has a bearing that no other person has. This should not be passed over as a joke, a misstatement or a gaffe. Taken together within the framework of the expedited withdrawal of the 12 B- 1 Air Force bombers from England and with the threat of subsequent attacks, “Vice President JD Vance said on Monday that the Pentagon quickly moved the bombers “out of an abundance of caution trying to protect our guys.” But for American cities out of Trump’s favor, an invitation.

Hold Trump accountable, do not let this disappear into the fog of war.

We the people do not consent.

What if Trump is preparing us for a false flag attack on one or both of those cities as a prelude to declare a state of emergency to cancel or commandeer the midterm elections? I wouldn't put it beyond him and his republicans to try this.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Wow. I just said the same thing essentially more than 15 mins ago.

Gingbos's avatar

He’s, absolutely, looking for ANY reason to cancel our Midterms. He knows his fellow fascists are doomed. I’d put NOTHING past him and his criminal cabal.

Agree with you guys 100%. He'll do something, anything.

Part of the problem is that both Schumer and Jefferies are supported by AIPAC. They have both acknowledge that they’re not willing to impeach Trump after the elections. Recommended by their donors who are all part of the Epstein files participants. Jefferies and Schumer need to go.

Karen Rivera's avatar

Jefferies and Schumer MUST go. We The People are not their focus, not their priority.

It’s corporate media that downplays this and then claims Democrats are fear mongers when they say point out how Trumps words are dangerous. The media creates this problem and Democrats can’t fix it by themselves. If you want accountability you need to put pressure on the perpetrators - that’s the media. Start demanding they stop downplaying, point out their hypocrisy.

The plague issue is what raises concern for myself. I remember watching the world health organization holding a conference during the beginning of the pandemic in Wuhan China. That was in December 9, 2019., I believe. Which meant that the virus had already spread further than anyone could have known. I’m beginning to feel this is the same situation but beginning is in Russia this time. Has it ever occurred to you, Trump is like the Covid virus. It only happened under his watch. Ebola was an issue for a very very short moment, but Obama and his administration dealt with it quickly and saved Americans from a potential problem then. Now Trump again fails to take care of American citizens. When are the Maga people going to get it? He doesn’t give a damn about them or anyone else unless you participate in the pay to play game.

Absolutely correct, the worst president possible for this moment in history.

Karen Rivera's avatar

He is the worst president possible for *any moment* in history

I share your concern, especially with the CDC being decimated by RFK Jr.'s incompetence.

Esmeisle's avatar

The fact the CDC has been gutted and RFK is in charge of HHS, means that if this situation turns into another pandemic, we’ll probably all die this time sadly. Don’t mean to be a Debbie Downer, just saying.

Deborah Hunter's avatar

MAGA won't wear masks or follow any rules, so if they get it, bye bye within a few days.

Carole137's avatar

I'm scared to death about the new plague. This happened in a secured bioweapons facility and it is occurring in the same manner as how COVID began in China. We're doomed with Trump and worm brain at the helm if this continues to grow.

Rubio is such a cowardly little shit

William MacKenzie's avatar

Actually, all of Trump's minions, who follow him without question, are cowardly little shits.

Karen Rivera's avatar

And they wear cheap shoes because Dump told them they had to

Pickleball's avatar

Yes, they go with the fuhrer’s marching orders!

Kate's avatar

Cheap shoes that are many sizes too big for their feet.

Trumps rhetoric about taking out LA and San Diego are only 1 thing: Treasonous. Whether Trump said it with a clear or demented mind , it doesn’t matter. It’s treason

Michele White's avatar

We definitely need to take trump at his word. However, he can try to call out a national emergency or whatever to try to stop the midterm elections, but I guess he doesn't remember that the U.S. conducted elections during the Civil War. Somehow, we managed.

The problem is both house and Senate, scotus are all controlled by the GOP.

Karen Rivera's avatar

Vote Blue to rectify some of that.

Karen Rivera's avatar

He doesn't know any history - neither he nor his Lackies know anything about Civil War Elections.

After the Wuhan biolab Covid pandemic, is anyone advising, planning or protecting the US against the Russia Plague BEFORE it arrives in the US.

With RFK in charge and the US incapable of controling the measles epidemic, how much risk is there to Americans?

Karen Rivera's avatar

Putin is Dump's friend mentor - Dump isn't going to speak out against him. And why exactly was Russia cooking up a batch of plague? Bio weapons to aim at who? Did Dump already know about it? Is he complicit? Is that what he has planned for CA cities?

Ginger McMillen's avatar

Your truthful reporting of Trumps words and actions are why millions of us pay for independent journalists like Meidas Touch Networks! 🌟👍 You can no longer get that on network news…which is so unbelievable! Thank you for all the great reporting you do. We’re all listening, reading and watching your reports! We know what’s at stake…our country and our democracy! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This stuff is serious and of course our main stream media is asleep at the wheel.

Wow, the Nebraska trump cult cheers the nuclear annihilation of eight million Californians. Classy bunch. Can you imagine Biden saying let them bomb NE, SD, ND, MT, WY, ID, and NE, which totals less than eight million. Would the corporate media snewash that? No, they wouldn't say is was Bidenspeak, they would say Biden was mentally failing, decrepit, and dangerous.

And can you believe the Plague timing? First it's trump covid and now we have trump Plague. Good thing Bobby the Brainworm, and his stff of deadly, conspiratorial, crackpots are on the alert... Maybe a few more airport chin ups will help stop another pandemic... The most incompetent people are trying to manage the most complex of issues. That ocmbination usually leads to complete failure to respond as needed. Nice work trump voters! I hope you are enjoying your eggs these days.

"RFK is playing games with people's lives!" Although that's very true, so are Mommy and Daddy playing games with their childrens' lives by not getting their kids vaccinated. Interesting that all the doomsday stuff rfk and trump spout about vaccines have not been mentioned by anybody for decades. I mean, people who had loved ones die from measles and other vaccine diseases would have mentioned that vaccines didn't seem to work. I'm sure there are some breakout cases, but not enough that we ever heard of them. Instead, the number of cases steadily decreased to the point we had few cases, with the vast majority of them in those without vaccinations.

Let them take out mar-a-lago!

Iran does not have the capability of bombing LA, so many miles away, but there are other ways to cause harm and Iran does have an ally that could take out LA. I still recall Trump saying in 2016, “Russia, if you’re listening….”

Deborah Branch's avatar

I wish you could somehow be part of ‘mainstream media’ ! People need to hear what you say, which is always backed up by facts and never sanewashed. Good job, thank goodness you are here.
