Too bad they weren't available January 6.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

It's always either someone else's fault or he
never explains why it's so easy to make him look bad,
like shooting fish in a barrel.

6 months since 1/20. UKR war still raging and Putin,
a war criminal sought by the World Court in The
Hague, gets the red carpet treatment on a US
military base. And a meeting with POTUS who got
nothing important to show for it.

How many history books do you imagine Trump has read, or any book at all, or even a pamphlet, or a food label? Probably just scanned his own bestsellers looking for mentions of him, contractually obligated to appear every other line and in a complimentary context. Looking forward to the high safety standards of the Middle Passage, the Happy Slave, the myth of lynching, the corrupt terror of Reconstruction, federalization of the Museum of the Bible, a Soviet-inspired American Realism in public art, brand new Confederate statues (why isn't there a statue of Jubal Early?), etc.

If the government is afraid to reveal the latest job statistics, the rational assumption is that they are horrifyingly terrible. If the bls refuses to publish its next batch of figures there should be a market collapse not seen since the great depression.

There is considerable suspicion that POTUS doesn't
read or comprehend well.

Orange now claims we're the only country that uses
mail-in voting saying (lying) that everyone, except us,
has abandoned it as insecure.

34 countries use mail-in voting.

Jason Johnson explains better than I could why I can't stand SAS.



At 1:53 Johnson says

"at no point in history have we been so clearly able to see a loud, screaming, dramatic
queen without a crown"

PS (gotta add this in which Johnson says at the end of the vid (~10:20) )

(Johnson...)
"I don't appreciate and I don't respect silly pointless debates in the context of fascism.
It is... I don't want to hear a damn thing you got to say about finger waving in the face of
anybody, when you are talking about a regime that has come in to power that is attempting
to militarily occupy cities that are enemies of the President and yank people off the street
after snatching their citizenship away. We're not talking about undocumented people. We're
talking about people in this country who were documented. Who had their paperwork together
and you're snatching them off the street. You're snatching them out of schools. You're snatching
them out of immigration buildings where they are filling out their paperwork. And you want
to talk about f'ing fingerwaving. You want to talk about did she go to Michigan enough. Shut
the hell up."

"It is arguing about the menu as the Titanic is sinking"

Trump lies. He knows he’s lying. Most of us know he’s lying. But his low-information MAGA supporters believe him. SMH.

The fixation on it though points up to me the idea that the fix is in with Palantir and Peter Thiel and voting machines. If there’s no paper trail they can play games. So long as they keep it a plausibly close win there will be no re counts. Stupid that Trump brings this up every time he has a conversation with Putin. Even on unrelated topics. Maybe he no longer needs Russian hacking. But Trump is Putins pet where JD Vance belongs to Thiel.

Absolutely gross and abhorent.

On a side note, a peepee tape probably does exist. It's just that the Dems have it wrong as to who actually filmed and has the tape (it's not Putin). It's that other country that owns our politicians.

Boris Johnson...
described the Alaska summit meeting as
"just about the most vomit-inducing episode in all the
tawdry history of international diplomacy".

Johnson was once considered the Trump of London.
Tony Blair he's not.

For the first time in my life as a DMVer, I want out of the DMV and will possibly live abroad if I can swing it in a year or two, life under Fascism is only going to get increasingly worse, especially in the DMV.
