desantis. We, Florida panhandle, are not amused. We have limited power and cell service—no Internet. little water pressure. tree-blocked roads. FEMA? No where I sight. But sure. Let’s make jokes
And that’s not all: Trump said he was the one who ordered the dangerous lawsuit. It’s the Trump administration’s first direct challenge to election certification during the 2026 midterms: demdock.com/4Bpw1aF

seniors will use that $100 to fill up the family vehicle ONE TIME.
Trump: My Administration will, immediately, begin sending 'Checks' of nearly $100 to over 20 MILLION wonderful Seniors to help pay for their Medicare Part B premium ... This money will come from the Medicare Improvement Fund, a pointless 'Slush Fund' that has only been used by Dumocrats ... "
yet another impeachable offense, this one demonstrating just how important our homeland's security is to him. he needs to go before his ego engulfs the galaxy.
Trump ‘personally instructed his budget director to use taxpayer money for TV ads praising him and his presidency, setting in motion a $20 million contract that used funds from the Department of Homeland Security’. A reminder that his SuperPAC has upwards of $400M. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/u...
well, there you go.. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Trump agrees to end court fight against $5m verdict in E Jean Carroll case

💥Ok I see other platforms are blocking this. I met Alex Gibney moons ago at ABCNY (the Association of the Bar for the City of New York). He’s the real deal. Here’s the trailer for Alex Gibney’s documentary about Musk. Let’s Streisand Effect this: www.firstshowing.net/2026/must-se... 👋🎥

does trump realize he has united the rest of the world? bring on the bleach
Did not think I would -- or my children would -- ever hear an American leader go to the United Nations and muse aloud on whether or not to annihiliate another country. But then, I didn't think I would hear and see so many things over the last decade. We will never remove the stain.

Trump is all about dominance, and when he can't dominate someone he becomes obsequious, hoping to become pals instead of being forced into the submissive position. He wants to be associated with that powerful alpha male energy. "We're buddies!" See also: Putin, Xi, Orban, etc.
