American priorities appear bizarre…guns & military above health & equality. Citizens have guns they don’t really need; the military exhausts the budget; health care is nonexistent for many; the rich get obscenely richer; & now the oligarchs are in charge. The slowly unfolding great American tragedy😢

Oh please…enjoy a chuckle from this very senior Aussie lawyer’s take on TACO’s BBC suit; it’s knowledgeable & tongue-in-cheek…one fun takeaway: “…the riveting denouement of the litigation will be its eventual disposal by T’s Supreme Court lickspittles…” It’s a fun read…& we all need to laugh! 😂🤣

smh.com.auWhy Trump suing the BBC could become the biggest TACO of allTrump has been ordered to attend court and answer questions – or drop the matter. But the case is unwinnable.

TACO’s current raving confirms the strategy now is to stir rusted-on MAGA to vote; they aren’t even pretending toward independents…hoping a big MAGA turnout will be enough in traditionally lo-turnout midterms They’re right that the result will come down to turnout…ours vs MAGA GET OUT THE VOTES!🤜🤛

Well whaddayakno...JD actually made an honest remark since climbing into bed with the orange felon...although to be even more honest he could've said "we overestimated our own abilities to analyze and plan"...either way, Barrack's got it right, as usual...

More interesting voter analysis For me, Latinos are in a similar category to women…how the former supports a blatant racist, or the latter supports a poster boy misogynist is beyond any rational explanation 🤷‍♂️

Interesting analysis and insights here…no surprise that lesser education, more inclined toward TACO, but still disappointing (perhaps esp’ly women?) at how many supported TACO …and the joker in the deck remains all the non-voters, all 89M of them! C’mon America…you’re better than this…TURNOUT! 🤜🤛

smh.com.auIs Trump part of Putin’s grand plan? Some European leaders think he’s too dumb to be complicit.Too many Western leaders do not know Vladimir Putin’s grand plan. But they should.

Republicans must be thrilled that 11 days before elections, we learn that the Trump family secretly orchestrated a deal to allow Russians to drill Alaska in exchange for a $25 billion "investment" funneled through their proxies… How do Alaskans feel about this?!

Ah Meg, an understandable but telltale slip…we’ve just come to understand that the “TACO administration” is now the same thing as the DOJ; the latter being the actual plaintiff here …and it’s actually worse here because the suit is conditional, suing only if the GOP loses🙄🤬

Explosive indeed…while Russia assists Iran, TACO continues to provide “aid & comfort” to Russia …Article III, Section 3 “Treason” TACO’s fealty to Putin is Treason

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

This is explosive. In the Witkoff/Kushner discussions with the Kremlin with respect to the sale to a Trump-backed consortium of LUKoil's foreign assets, Trump has offered a slice of his big Alaska project to a Russian major close to Putin. The structure is designed to entangle US investments

Well, if there was any doubt about DOJ’s non-independence, it’s put to rest now… DOJ filed a preemptive challenge to the Senate race in Alaska if the GOP loses…feel free to read that again…& TACO said: “I’m the one that said ‘do it’ “ Blanche must answer for this fiasco of justice-for-one 🤬

Somehow I reckon the WPost won’t adopt this slogan…🤷‍♂️

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Fact-checked ✅ There’s no limit to the incompetence of this administration; that should be both an advantage and — This is the key element — a motivation for voters to act to throw them out…& then there’s TACO’s corruption & his bizarre love for Putin 😩🤬 C’mon Americans…TURNOUT TO VOTE! 🤜🤛

Hegseth Couldn’t Wait… This treasured artifact has been broken. Historical archivists were supposed to move this precious piece from WWII. Pete wanted it NOW & his people weren’t qualified or careful. They broke Dwight D. Eisenhower’s glass globe. #Blues

Interesting…TACO’s 2020 Election obsession may bite him bigly in the midterms…seems all his crazy failed manoeuvres (seizing ballots, demanding voter details etc) are now being used as training by both Courts & lawyers to better & more quickly defeat him this election All we gotta do is TURNOUT! 🤜🤛

Zelensky’s speaking here to Americans as well…& the midterms may tell the world how many Americans are listening In any event, history will mark this episode as one of great shame for America 😢

Xela Hart@xelahart.bsky.social

Due process Discovery is definitely not TACO’s friend…he should’ve learned that already, but he’s very much a creature of the shallow end of the gene pool…his incompetence is, however, useful for us Stay focused people…at this stage of the fight back, it’s all about turnout GET OUT THE VOTES! 🤜🤛

Wow. Smith's evidence may be revealed to the world despite that incompetent toady judge Cannon's efforts.

trumpy on New Mexico changing it's name to "New America" "The name would add great value and prestige to the State! Home Values and Incomes would rise..." Not quite as dumb as Johnny going to school and coming home 3 days later as Jane.........but damned close 😜😜😜😜

OMG… TACO the wimp doesn’t “want to do anything that will drive Russia away from the bargaining table”?!? How about the USA drives Russia TOWARDS the bargaining table by telling the butcher Putin he’s going to lose his war of aggression against a US ally in democracy?!? TACO is a wimp!! 😩🤬

Reuters After Ukraine destroyed five major data centers in Russia, Trump has announced plans to build American nuclear-powered data centers on Russian territory together with Putin. At the same time, Trump demanded Zelinskyy be removed as President I stand w/Ukraine Trump is a Traitorous Bastard

TACO says the Iran war is about to end (or “Iran’s totally defeated”🙄) — but the reality is increasing both attacks on ships & the price of oil TACO embracing Putin is a distraction…& it aids Putin’s support of Iran…& it makes Americans complicit in the slaughter of innocent Ukrainians
