Extremely scary shit that's a must read for all... Thank you Anne Applebaum

Anne Applebaum@anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu

In countries as varied as Canada, Denmark and Brazil, companies and media linked to Trump are operating on behalf of MAGA interests, replacing the diplomats and officials who conducted US policy in the past. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Interesting that both Clinton and Obama decided to take the gloves off and smack Trump around this weekend.... Maybe they're finally tired of being abused and not being allowed to fight back

They called Biden “sleepy Joe” for years and tried to paint him as someone who hates this country while they try to make Trump seem like a tough guy who loves the country… believe none of what you hear

Shanah Tovah, New York! Wishing all Jewish New Yorkers celebrating a sweet, joyful and meaningful Rosh Hashanah. Here’s to a new year filled with health, happiness and blessings (and yes, even another Knicks championship).

Americans really don’t understand how evil Canadians view this rhetoric. We think it’s just “Trump being Trump” and trolling for lulz, but Lutnick here is threatening the sovereignty of our closest ally and biggest trading partner. This is a catastrophe, not easily remedied.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Lutnick pushes fracturing of Canada: "This is about the Liberal Party & Carney trying to use a kerfuffle w/ the US to gai leverage. They've got the sovereign party vote in Quebec on Oct 5. They've got an independence vote that starts the process of Alberta, who always feels ripped off by Ottawa... "

How did I end up getting an email from the Freedom 250 Patriot Games committee asking for a donation??? Like.... WTF.... And then when I marked it as spam... I got another one that said Test from Trump

This screenshot tells all you need to know about America today and the way left and right leaning people only see the viewpoint that only reinforces their preconceived views. Google news page about Hegseth vs Democratic senators yesterday. This is why MAGA is so lost in the woods

Samuel Alito's dad was born in Calabria, Italy in 1914, which was a completely failed state shithole at the time. You either spent your life farming dirt or got killed at 16 working for an Ndrangheta underboss. Now his son spends all day panicking about uncivilized Haitians.

The people of Iran aren’t free. Iran can now charge tolls. The nuclear material sits EXACTLY where it did, in the same amount, since June. The regime is still in place with a younger ayatollah. Iran still was launching missiles, now with more money to rebuild. Period

TACO.... You can bank on it..... Watch for crazy financial transactions as we get closer to the deadline... Trump's threats are just a part of his negotiation technique..... TACO.... TACO

The truth is we’ve always held Donald Trump to a pathetically low standard - the lowest standard any politician has ever been held to. Trump gets away with behavior no other politician would ever get away with. He’s treated like a child who doesn’t know any better. Shameful.

Just to recap: Russia is currently helping Iranian forces try to kill US troops. In response, Trump is… lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening to pull out of NATO, which are the #1 and #2 items on Putin’s wishlist

Saudi Arabia reportedly wants Trump to launch a ground invasion of Iran. Remember: Trump's family has deep business ties to Saudi Arabia, including new luxury properties in Riyadh and Jeddah. Trump cannot be trusted to put protecting American lives over lining his own pockets.

In 14 months, Trump has turned America into a country people around the world hate, fear, feel sorry for, laugh at, are sickened by, no longer believe in, & want nothing to do with. I suppose when u put an utterly stupid, cruel, corrupt, lawless, dishonest madman in the White House, that’ll happen.

Question...... So if Trump is refusing to pay TSA workers until the Democrats pass the SAVE Act... And the Democrats are NOT going to pass the SAVE Act.... Who blinks first.... And how much longer can these TSA workers work without getting paid? And how bad will TSA lines at the airports get??

The day begins with a former Fox host turned Trump administration official ranting at the media over his own failings and ends with a former Fox host turned Trump administration official ranting at a judge over her own failings.

Jeanine Pirro: "This is the anthesis of American justice. Exonerating anyone without an investigation is not how our criminal justice system works."

Sooooooooo... Ukraine is helping us defend against Iranian drones. Why do I not trust Trump to forward this information to Putin 😕

I'm literally in tears thinking of what our country has become. I have children and grandkids who will potentially have to live with massive environmentally caused disasters because of our foolish political choices. How did we get here? This threatens the entire planet... Not just the US

Sooooooooo... According to Rick Scott.... America is a "beacon of freedom and democracy". But apparently..... Any Olympic athlete that has the BALLS to exercise those freedoms... MUST lose their ability to represent us at the Olympics. You can't make this shit up 😡

To my new political party: He is a dangerous, dictatorial madman who must be stopped, and my former political party will do nothing to stop him. Democrats, you must realize these are unprecedented times that call for unprecedented actions. He must be stopped. Meet this moment.👇

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files. Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out. See for yourself.

The fu*king Supreme Court is becoming Trump's lifeline... They are more blatant a supporter of his fascism as any of us could ever have imagined!!!! Leonard Leo outsmarted everyone

I'm convinced that this was a total act by Trump. The way he kinda apologized for threatening to hang Democrats means he knows he crossed a line. His love affair with Mamdani was just an act to quickly change the narrative with Democrats.

#Ryder Cup Long Island has become a bastion of Obnoxious MAGA!!! There's Trump flags all over the neighborhood... I'm surrounded by these assholes.... A lot of these morons always had the potential to act this crass... But Trump and a little alcohol allow them to think it's ok to be this nasty.
