A brief history of Trump and Russia:

In 1977, DJT marries Ivana Zelníčková, and he’s spied on by her father Miloš Zelníček for Czechoslovakia’s Státní bezpečnost (StB) which was routinely sharing information with the Russian KGB at the time.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018...
Czechoslovakia ramped up spying on Trump in late 1980s, seeking US intel
Exclusive: aided by Ivana Trump’s father, intelligence service with KGB ties targeted high-level government information, files show

Not exactly the theme intended for #ShowMeYourHellhole but places that aren’t Portland/Chicago are actually asking for federal help and FEMA is too gutted to do its job.

At this point, I would not be surprised if Elon Musk has a version of Grok trained to replicate Trump. The Constitution does not specifically prohibit digital clones from being elected president. Republicans will just roll with it.🙄

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

Senator Chris Murphy is breaking it down for the people who most need to understand how dangerous this is -- Congress. The rest of us need to keep our Federal reps and senators phones ringing off the hook about this...especially those in red states. Local govt too.

T. Joseph Mattingly estimates that the 2025 measles outbreak in Texas will cost $90M. Measles is expensive. It's also preventable. Vaccination increases productivity & reduces costs.

Vaccination is healthy for people & the economy.

The original screenshot from the Simpsons...for reference 😁
Simpson's cartoon screenshot of Ralph Wiggum next a poster saying "Stuff doctors had to pull out of me by: Ralph" with toy soldiers, a troll doll, and scissors on a science fair style table.

Ideas on the table: "...supposing you brought the light inside the body...I think you said you’re going to test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?

And then I see the disinfectant...is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning." DJT 4/23/2020
A Simpson's cartoon styled Trump with a poster saying "Stuff Doctors Had to Pull out of Me by: Donald" with flashlights, lightbulbs and bleach tablets on the table. It's photoshopped from a screenshot of Ralph Wiggum from the Simpsons, adding Trump hair to Ralph, changing the name to Donald on the poster, and changing the items on the table to match things mentioned by DJT in his 2020 press conference about combatting Covid-19.

Their planned healthcare package might literally be a small MAGA branded “patriot first aid kit” for sale on Amazon filled with useless products from folks that bribed their way in. Guess we might find out in the storied “2 weeks”

“ER Model” is very telling that MAGA has no plan for healthcare (which we already knew). An ER is really only set up to triage and keep patients from rapidly dying of something. They aren’t set up to treat the slower causes of dying or pain, which are much more common.

As a specialist often consulted on patents being admitted from an ER, I world compare ER to more of a “floating door for one.” They are really only set up to keep patients from rapidly dying of something. They aren’t goods at treating the slower causes of dying or pain, which are much more common.
