"Tinpot" Trump - America's pedophilic President.

CNN@cnn.com

Vice President JD Vance acknowledged Monday that high gas prices have left some voters undecided ahead of the midterm election, but argued that price spikes happen “every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum.”

ICE thugs are sending immigrants to countries that they have never been to, because there are orders by judges protecting them from being returned to their home country due to persecution. But these third party countries are sending them back to their home country, anyway. #ICELawlessness

Just in case anyone needs a few reasons NOT to vote for the MAGA party that has enabled the decline of democracy, our economy and our standing in the world… Share with any fence sitters that you know (ie. those whose single issue was eggs last cycle 🙄) #VoteBlue #ProudBlue

#ResistanceEarth Climate change is causing hotter summers, greater humidity, heavier downpours ... and mold in Chicago-area schools. Mold exposes humans to poor air quality and health risks. I doubt Chicago schools are the only ones with this problem. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/10/25/m...

chicagotribune.comMold in Chicago-area schools is a growing problem as climate change intensifies summer stormsBecause school buildings operate differently in the summer, they are at particular risk of developing mold. The people they serve are also especially vulnerable.

Curious to see if there is a backlash to the DOJ filing motions etc to benefit of Republican candidates ahead of Election Day. Murkowski has spoken out against it and she is the GOAT of overcoming ballot difficulties, having won as a write-in.

“You can’t con people, at least not for long. You can create excitement, you can do wonderful promotion and get all kinds of press, and you can throw in a little hyperbole. But if you don’t deliver the goods, people will eventually catch on.” - Donald Trump, The Art of the Deal

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

Trump is leaning toward a return to major combat operations, the officials said, though no final decisions have been made. Critics say another flurry of missile attacks won’t compel Tehran to surrender its nuclear program but would raise global energy prices.
