No Cynic 🇺🇦🤗🇵🇷

From the Wall Street Journal it's a paywall 😡 www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

From the WSJ The White House theory rested on fiscal restraint ... overlooked how much of Trump’s own agenda would feed the price pressures ... Tariffs raised the cost of imported goods. The war with Iran sent oil and diesel prices soaring. Immigration restrictions shrank the labor force.

Faux News found it "shocking" that a president would wear such a suit.They spent a month using the suit as an example of how Obama was not a true American and was demeaning the presidency.12 yrs later Faux News says, The 🍊💩🤡 is the greatest president ever. Orange makeup? youtu.be/crNcV0k0aMQ?...

As for the crypto grift that made the 🍊💩🤡 billions and Witkoff over $100 million in selling the "Trump coin", a Chainalysis and media review in mid-2026 estimated that nearly 1 million wallets holding the token were sitting on a combined $3.81 billion to $4.51 billion in losses.

It looks like the shock troops,at a cost of $100 billion,have snared a violent... No,this is just an example of how this administration is both costly and incompetent. Green card holder, 76, with Stage 4 cancer held in Tacoma ICE facility | Northwest | yakimaherald.com share.google/1duZOrjSauhF...

Investigative journalist Daphne Galizia (b. #OTD 1964) reported on govt corruption, allegations of money laundering & more in #Malta. A "one-woman WikiLeaks." Known internationally for her investigation of the Panama Papers, she was assassinated by a car bomb in Oct 2017. #Journalism #PressFreedom

The MAGA cult and the sycophant administration repeatedly brag how the 🍊💩🤡 is a great negotiator. 🍊💩🤡 always wins the deal, just read his book (HA!). So, his strategy is to make us pay until Canada is the 51st state. Let's look at an example of his work just 8 yrs ago youtu.be/kIe5tAegmLU?...

About that hypothetical "Seal Team 6" murdering opponents of the 🍊💩🤡... Look out bond traders. Trump Suggests He Can Use the Military on Bond Markets: ‘If We Have To Use That, We Will’ share.google/W3rxHUy24nyS...

The Centers for Disease Control is focusing on surveiling abortion with an aim of limiting abortion. It's not part of the CDC's mission to harass those seeking abortion,nor surveillance of reproductive choices, and no federal law banning abortion or has any money been approved for such surveillance.

Wear a diaper while listening to this podcast because you just might 💩 in your pants. Okay, it might be hyperbolic but what we know should give one pause.

Trump's meme coin, which sales of made a large chunk of Trump's $2 billion crypto profits, is down over 92%. There were big purchases made by people who wanted something from Trump (pardons, Nvidia chips, legitimacy ...), which almost all of the requests were met. In other words, bribes.

DJT, the publicly traded company that owns Trump's social media asset, reported 1st quarter losses of $406 million on less than $900 thousand in revenue. As of the close on August 7th, the stock is down over 38% YTD, over 82% from it's initial offering in 2024, and is down almost another 10% today.

3 examples of how showing up made a difference. Don't give up. Don't let your compassion for fellow humans fall into cynicism. Don't let those who refuse to engage with truth normalize the lies. Don't just sit while the vulgar 🤡 tries to wear a crown.

Excellent article that argues that in civil society there is a need for calling out those who are dismissive (i.e. bigotry) of other members of said society. Yes, it's woke, PC, but being PC is surely preferred over bigoted fascists. Shame on fascism. www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

Trump hands out a no bid contract to a friend and campaign donor (is there a difference?) and unfortunately for Trump, it is not to be heard by the Supreme Court. Trump's incompetence leads him to blame someone else. Again. share.google/oMRz9ziIdsho...

NYC SMALL BIZ OWNERS ON ZOHRAN: “These people really care about small businesses… They get shit done… I like that he stands for making sure nobody seems to feel marginalized, we all win together… If that’s what socialism is I’m all for it!” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A federal judge, judge Sullivan ordered acting AG Blanche, to produce unreleased Epstein documents and to remove redactions of extremely disturbing content. Blanche is openly disrespecting/disobedient to the court which could lead to sanctions. Blanche is doing well by Trump but not Americans.

Trump 2.0 ... "apocalyptic wildfire smoke poop lettuce" is not a metaphor. But the result is the same as Trump 1.0 ... Americans are compelled to hoard toilet paper and wear a mask.

In this maelstrom of "reality", let us remember the good people. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/n...

I am pretty sure that the 🍊💩 is the only person I know of who has broken every one of the 10 Commandments. Yet Christians, especially Evangelicals, love him. Do the Gospels have any meaning or is rationalizing the new religion?

This isn't only sad but portends an existential crisis for humanity. The process of thinking and community collapsing cannot be a good thing. Squelching the imagination reduces the multiple angles of reality that might be captured, trading revelatory for banal coins. slate.com/technology/2...

I guess the 🍊💩wants to win the Anti-Nobel Peace Prize. Those last two sentences are crazy.

WTF is in those Epstein files? Lashing out at our allies, while declaring victory, while asking Congress for $200 BILLION, for a war that is not a war, sending thousands of troops MORE, as gas prices soar because there was no plan for energy disruptions... MAGA CULT RATIONALIZE ANYTHING THE 🍊💩does.

This could not be more Trump. The 🍊💩 starts a war, (or any project) without a plan because, you know, he's smart, the smartest. When it doesn't look good he starts demanding that our allies, & China, step in and save him. Maybe if Iran invests billion w/Jared, 🍊💩 will call it all good.

This is so on point for both of these human haters. Now they just might eat other!

Inadvertently makes a case here for why we need to keep the humanities in school

I'm shocked! Not.

I guess now that the stock market is not quite so good we can get back to the Trump -Epstein files/coverup. From the Wall Street Journal.

The Economist: Using a LLM, we built a “grievance index” that counts mentions of perceived victimhood, blame-shifting and attacks on political opponents. ... more than 10% of sentences in Mr Trump’s speech contained grievances—a greater share than any other state of the union in recent decades ...

I didn't say it, Foreign Affairs did. Hopefully the gift link works. www.foreignaffairs.com/guest-pass/r...

Peace brother. Thank you.

There are 2 existential threats to humanity, nuclear weapons and climate change. The 🍊💩has increased the probability of both. I thought he was elected to lower the price of goods? Enjoy those eggs.

This is a constitutional crisis. When the Executive willfully ignores judicial decisions,history has taught us that such abuse only grows. Here we have courts ordering basic protections against the DOJ's overreach,due process and habeus,and the Trump administration just puts up a middle finger.

While this is true, nobody in the Trump admin or MAGA movement believes this.

< sigh >

Is Bondi, the "People's Lawyer", trying to say that as long as some are getting rich pedophilia is okay? The 🟠🤡 admin has absolutely no shame. To all of the religious supporters, do you feel any shame?

And in "WTF, the crazy just got crazier ..." The 🟠🤡 admin is trying to erase any history that the White Christian Nationalist Fascists wish to ignore. To quote Milan Kundera, "The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting. "

And then there is Florida crazy. Not a single sociology textbook qualifies for classroom use. NOT ONE TEXTBOOK IN THE DISCIPLINE!

My response to a Trump supporter before the mic drop ... Bottom line: you support a felon, who is a suspected PEDOPHILE, and is definitely trying to force us to ignore a huge pedophile ring that serviced the rich and powerful, which makes Trump at least complicit in a massive pedophile ring.

It needs to be heard and here is AOC laying it out. We traded food, shelter, and access to healthcare in order to build a secret police that is at war with good people.

“At times, Minneapolis reminded me of what I saw during the Arab Spring in 2011, a series of street clashes between protesters and police that quickly swelled into a much larger struggle against autocracy,” @robertfworth reports. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Each community needs to prepare a nonviolent protest plan, because when a government force are heavily armed and wearing masks it only takes one or two to set off the tinder box. The story about the 🌹 encapsulates my disgust/shame of our 🍊🤡 and government. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The political party that says it is pro-life, law and order, and for small government is none of those things. MAGA is a collection of hypocrites running around with red hats. Or maybe MAGA is not conservative but something else that begins with the letter F?
