He’s getting away with it because he built a cult, not a movement. The GOP fears him, billionaires bankroll him, and media profits off the chaos. Corruption looks like “winning” to his base—but it’s just accountability with a price tag none of us can afford.

“Nine years straight as America’s best big city — and Trump still called it a ‘war zone.’ Maybe the bullets he heard were the sounds of jazz, deep-dish fans, and actual diversity. Chicago didn’t need his troops — just earplugs for his nonsense.”

Seriously, MAGA: How did you see it turning out well, when you voted to give Donald Trump and Republicans another turn?

They're doing everything shitty they did the first time, only worse, with military occupation of our cities as the rancid cherry on top.

The irony writes itself — the man who called COVID a hoax just rolled up his sleeve for the booster. It’s like watching the arsonist proudly installing smoke alarms. MAGA logic: “Do as I say, not as I jab.” Somewhere, Dr. Fauci just poured himself a very satisfied glass of wine.

They have to have a backup plan to the "dangerous immigrants" narrative. They have one. They've literally created a "terrorist group" out of thin air. I mean, you can't be having free and fair elections with "enemies from within," like the "Antifa Terrorist" group running around. It's a pretext.

The widespread media decision to frame international affairs as "will Donnie get the prize he wants?" is pathetic.

He's not the protagonist of human events. And to the extent he's a significant character in world affairs, whether or not he gets a prize is one of the least important things about it.

NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump.

It’s oligarchs all the way down.

So I guess for MAGA when a Chinese balloon goes over US airspace it’s a week straight of apoplectic comments that WW3 is starting because Biden is weak, but when Trump allows the Qataris to have an airbase in the US and fly fighter jets over our country that is America First.

My advice:

EVERYONE should bring as many American flags as possible to the No Kings protests on October 18th.

Blanket every rally from coast-to-coast in red, white and blue.

Take the flag back from the party of a wannabe-dictator and his sycophants, and never let it go.
