Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion.
I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.
How the world goes mad and the Trump family sells it. “Make it a Trump National Golf Course in Syria.”
One reason that we cannot have professional diplomats representing the interests of the United States is that it would disrupt a pattern of personal enrichment for the Presidents allies and families.
Props to the WSJ, they managed to pack almost every Trump decision-making pathology into a single story. It’s all here:
1) Short attention span
2) Impulsive behavior
3) Knowledge deficits
4) Gambling for resurrection
5) Belief in the madman theory

I think it’s partly because years ago, common sense would have suggested that type of corruption not only unthinkable, but that it wouldn’t be tolerated. The protest we put forth was not met with any substantial prohibitions. We saw the GOP explicitly tell us they don’t see it, they don’t care.
It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.
I will not be lectured about Swalwell — or anything, really — by anyone who still supports Donald Trump after he was found liable for sexual abuse.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
My thoughts on the Swalwell stuff.
Notice how Democrats always hold their own accountable and Republicans just yell fake news, no matter how vile the evidence is?
If Republicans end up disowning Trump over this image, it’s not because he’s portraying himself as the Messiah. It’s because he’s giving away free healthcare.
Hahahahahha

It wants to be a European country again." Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m Magyar's speech is powered.

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately. "The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."
From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.
Magyar, closing his speach, now calling for accountability for those who turned on Hungarians. Refusing to be a country w/o consequences.
Three very important points.
Looks like it was an Epstein visa she got.
Check the short interest in oil futures.
The Hungarian election is about Russian oligarchy and its support of the international far right. That’s why Vance is there. He is a node in that network.
Thank you, Sodom Who’s Sane
FUN FACT: The Hormuz Strait remained open during the entire Biden and Obama administrations.

There aren’t five Republican Senators with an iota of moral backbone.
‘Steadily, strongly and powerfully’ was the giveaway there. The language of failed strongmen.
Ca Gov Gavin Newsom: “The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator.
“The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.
“Congress is on recess.
“This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.”
Pretty sure he’s gonna replace Hitler as the cultural watermark for insanely evil fascist tyrant.
As predictable as the lies that ooze from his ugly lie hole.
GOP off the hook as usual. They won’t have to answer any uncomfortable questions (from the rare journos who dare ask) about the raving lunacy of their fatted calf, as if they would have anyway. As usual.
To be fair it was a tough decision at the ballot box
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
She is absolutely right.
In a functioning democracy, the GOP would have removed this shithouse crazy piece of garbage from office in 2020. Actually sooner.
The pee tape is real man. Also there was collusion and obstruction. Also rape. And insurrection.
