Have to protect my small business from bad actors so my name will remain anonymous. I'm a female over 50, smiling fool, hopeful idiot looking for peace in the world. Yes, I have trump derangement syndrome.

If you’re thinking of buying an Audi, don’t forget that an Audi executive appeared at a Trump rally this weekend to try to boost an American dictatorship. Make your car-buying decision accordingly.

We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.

NEW: The Trump administration committed the U.S. to taking a large stake in a Venezuelan company, some of whose owners and investors are shielded from public view. The exact details of the agreement over oil fields had remained unclear — until now.

To all my pro-homeschool republican peers. Sure. You go with this:

A decade ago, Florida stripped a teacher of her license for sexually abusing a 16-year-old. Last year, she opened a private school there with ease. As private schools fueled by taxpayer dollars proliferate, states are choosing not to closely regulate who runs them or what they teach. (Pub. July)

Russian forces targeted a busy Tavria V supermarket with a Geran-4 attack drone in Mayaky, Odesa. This is what Musk, Hegseth and Trump are enabling and backing. Zelenskyy: "What is happening is Russia’s pointed response to the signals it is receiving from [US]."

Ever since the Russian bots went down, Trump and MAGA have to pull double shifts at the Putin dick sucking factory.

REMINDER: When Biden left office inflation was 2.9%. Now it's 3.7%. When Biden left office gas was $3.10 per gallon --now it's $4.33. When Biden left office Diesel was $3.63-- now it's $6.29. This is 100% TRUMPFLATION. Only people doing well now are Trump, his corrupt family and his oligarchs!

Trump earlier this year: Kimberly Guilfoyle has been my friend for a long time. I love calling her Kimberlay. That’s my little pet name, right? I hope you come back here in 12 years or whenever the term ends. Trump today: She was not a member of my family. I guess she dated my son a long time ago.

Trump: "Putin has no respect for this person." Clinton: "That's because he'd rather have a puppet as president of the United States. You're willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do." October 19, 2016. She was right.

It's insane that the president is this incredibly stupid and, moreover, weirdly proud of it. "You know, I never knew what the hell was a circle was. Most people don't, you know. Well, a circle has three sides and three corners. I call the corners 'rutabagas' but Democrats won't tell you that."

Trump: "When I see that Talafreako in Texas. So he's been a vaygan all his life. He's a vaygan vaygan, I didn't even know what the hell a veygan was. A veygan is vegetables. A vaygan is eating a piece of lettuce all day long."

Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Apparently it is of no concern to any Republicans that Trump and Bessent are taking in billions of dollars from plundered Venezuelan oil and nobody knows where the money is, where is has been going, if anyone is getting proceeds, with no accounting of any of it made available.

Solipsism is a deadly, conscience-eroding occupational hazard of the rich and powerful. No visitor to Epstein Island could have made the visit if the pain of those young women was as real to them as the pain of their own daughters and friends.
