Sorry about the ad interruptions. If you wait through them, you'll find the program worthwhile.

MSNBC weekend, showing the Portland demonstration about which Trump is ranting. Check the video tape, and tell me Psychopath Trump is not delusional:

Still looking, but already I found the Week 37 episode of "Trump Trolls Trump", where Psychopath Trump's niece MARY shows a clip of the Portland protest first, before showing her uncle, and a weekend clip from MSNBC, which does the same thing:

In my comment to this message, I said that I'd look for a longer tape of Psychopath Trump being delusional in his words about Portland. I'll keep looking, but the first clip I found was Trump's niece MARY and her weekly summary, which opens with a clip of Portland:

If you have heard longer clips which show Psychopath Trump talking about Portland, you KNOW that the old guy is DELUSIONAL.

I'm going to give myself a few minutes to look for one of those clips, so I can attach it to this comment, but I'm sure that some of you have heard Trump ranting already.

You're welcome.

I try to take full advantage of the digital subscriber benefit of sending ten gift articles a month to others.

I only wish I had twenty or thirty ladders over the pay wall.

It also reflects the divisions within the African diaspora, where it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that—like my own father—many Black people are also immigrants, experiencing their own traumas at the sight of these cruelties.

At its heart, his comment speaks to the Trump regime’s success in dividing us from one another and our humanity: a nagging devil on the shoulder of struggling Americans barely scraping together the rent and telling them someone else is to blame.

Some Black Chicagoans expressed indignation and disbelief at seeing us be brutalized by the Trump regime’s deployments, with one young brother exclaiming as he watched federal agents appear to choke a Black man on the street, “Y’all supposed to be choking Mexicans.”

Many people in Chicago assumed the targets of this action would be limited to immigrants, some of whom were, according to Republican regime officials, engaged in criminal activity.

But the effects rained down on Black citizens who were caught up in the raid, too.

Even with some staff having their firing rescinded, CDC has been deeply damaged by the cuts from 🧠🪱 that remain intact. We do not have a complete list as this was done in secrecy. 🧵

"The Labor Department warned in an obscure document filed with the Federal Register last week that 'the near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens' is threatening 'the stability of domestic food production and prices for U.S. consumers.'”

Trump administration says immigration enforcement threatens higher food prices

U.S. farmers face labor shortages and potential food price hikes due to Trump’s immigration policy, the administration acknowledged in a Federal Registry document.

Nope, that won't be covered by mainstream media, either. At least, not by TV or cable.

If they ignore inflatable animal costumes, what makes you think they'll show unclothed people?
