Seemingly unable to figure out how to find a way out of the war, Trump told aides he wanted to focus on other topics, and shifted his attention to fundraising events for the midterms and details for his ballroom.

Personally, I felt safer when America was an umbrella for democracies instead of a friend to every authoritarian that comes along.🗽

How should the Democratic Party be positioning itself for 2028? They still aren’t sure why Kamala Harris lost to Donald Trump in 2024, making it hard for them to prepare for 2028. smotus.substack.com/p/when-democ...

THIS DID NOT AGE WELL
I have finally come to the conclusion that people like this are simply racists. I can't see any other reason they would go along with Trump's antics unless it was because he is an ultra-racist and they think he will keep them safe in their racist-bubble.🗽
I don't know about you, but it seems that whatever small tax benefits I might have received through the Republican Big Bill, was eaten up by Trump's tariffs and his ill-planed war on Iran. We're not going to get any tariff refunds. What a mess he's made of things. Food prices up 20% Gas up 40%. 🗽

BEWARE: In the months leading up to the midterm elections, hundreds of A.I. generated pro-Trump influencer accounts have emerged on social media.
Trump could have called in the National Guard on J6, but didn't. So much for law and order. Only when it suits him.
I'll be posting clips from time to time of 'Trump's Day Of Love on January 6th', just to remind people what MAGA love really looks like.
The Strait being closed isn't hurting the U.S.? No more Mr. Nice Guy? Really? Totally in fantasy land. Unfortunately so are his cult followers that encourage his bizarre behavior.
"EARTH CALLING TRUMP!"
Its nice that MAGAs are so open about their mental illness, but saying this about some one who is… the opposite of Jesus is pretty weird, no? 🗽

You can almost feel the change in the air we breathe.
It’s not just that Democrats are winning special elections by wide margins and even where they’re not, they’re “over-performing” in ruby-red areas by an average of 16 points.

Trump said Iran wanted “to close up the strait again, you know, as they’ve been doing for years, and they can’t blackmail us.”

I'm not surprised that there is dissension among the ranks. That's Donald's style, divide and conquer. Only this time he and his buddy Pete are weakening the U.S. readiness, in case they were actually needed for something other than political window dressing.🗽

I hate to compare the U.S. to the Soviet Union, but I have to call it as I see it. Maybe we'll be lucky (like having an invasion by space aliens) and we'll find away to come back together in the future.🗽

JD Vance is batting a thousand. Let's send him to Putin's next fake election and see what happens there. We might be on to something, could he "help" Kim Jong Un?
With a little luck this won't get off the ground before Trump's term is up. That'll save taxpayers a lot of money in demolition costs.🗽
