"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Well, let's just put this in context: Noem doesn't know shit. She's a spokesmodel for Trump's coverups. Like Bondi,Johnson,Hegseth,Leavitt, their ability to lie and grovel is their job requirement. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

So Trump gave Argentina a $20 billion bailout and is now building a Qatari military facility in Idaho.

While Americans can’t afford groceries.

Horrifically creepy and emblematic of this rape-coded administration, but also a govt employee staying at the fuckin ritz on a business trip shows you how much the DC world has changed since the DOJ muffin scandal of 2011.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

Trump's insane video that he posted earlier,of swanky developed Gaza beach hotels,money flowing, partying is his delusional grifter dream of a "peace deal" so he can get his hands on the property.Some unscrupulous real estate plan,to ruin/burn the place down, then scoop it up for peanuts... #corrupt

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

THIS is what happens when folks don't get the truth from our news/media. They are ALL complicit. Now they want another merger to consolidate their propaganda machines and indoctrinate the citizenry with their agenda of backwards anti-democracy,division and hatred. #Shame #TrumpThugs #Vote4YourLives
