No, America is Not Respected Thanks to Trump, we’re held in contempt even by our closest allies

Chump has destroyed America's standing in the world far more than we thought.

There are many more casualties than what they've announced, I guarantee.

Now that the American light of reason has been doused by thump, China is starting to look like the bright beacon on the hill.

As in the Iraq war, they sandbagged casualty numbers and release them slowly over weeks and months to lessen the blow. I'm sure they're doing the same now.

Those of us who aren't maga have know this since day one.

The first thing you learn in journalism school is that the primary purpose of a newspaper is to make a profit. Never publish anything that impedes that. Telling the truth about the Chump regime hurts the bottom line, so guess what goes unsaid.

Carl Sagan had prescient insight about "the combustible mix of ignorance and power" years ago. Today we see firsthand what he warned us about.

Tariffs overturned And the rich get richer

Chump’s whole tarrif scheme was pre-planned to help repubs in the midterms. Check this out.

I saw a bumper sticker today that said, Is He Dead Yet?

They use an excellent moniker for the Chump admin in the lyrics: "people of the lie"

Krugman calls put thuggish threats made to Fed Reserve economists over study showing tarrifs are paid by Americans.

Looks like Soviet era Russia.

Which means repugs will try even harder to jack with voting rights.

US officials abruptly close airspace in El Paso, Texas, for 10 days in unusual move FAA cited ‘special security reasons’ for shutting off skies around El Paso airport in area along border with Mexico

The cynic in me says this is for an ICE military operation or preparation for one.

I bet he pardons all those ICE thugs, too.

Please, someone in Minnesota organize a group to teach other locations your effective methods for dealing with ICE.

When they withdraw all those agents from Minnesota, it just means they're going someplace else. Y'all stay prepared.

The key part is they weren't honest . . . about anything.

‘Grind the country to a halt’: Democrat urges national strike if Trump meddles in midterms In wake of Donald Trump’s call for Republicans to ‘take over’ voting, senator Ruben Gallego urges citizens to take a stand and give the ‘ultimate response’

Wall Street put Chump in office, and now they're doing very well. If Chump meddles in the 2026 election, we are obliged to grind the economy to a halt.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Not a "constitutional crisis." It's a deliberate violation of the constitution.

I'll go one farther. If you ever serve on a jury where an ICE or FBI agent is giving testimony, assume everything they say is a lie. Never convict anyone these political actors testify against.

It's pretty obvious to the casual observer that most ICE agents are malicious abusers with no respect for the law. No ICE is better than these hooligans.

Minnesota can still issue arrest warrants for the agents and have them extradited.

I closed my TicTok account yesterday. Everyone else should, too.
