What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

To all the Americans losing their jobs and farmers losing their farms, take comfort in the fact that the people in Argentina are doing great.

I have always loved Portland. One of my fave US cities, if not my favorite.

He never shows any video of Portland burning-the best he's got is some other country.

I still can’t understand why there isn’t a livestream on CNN, etc of Portland 24/7 and then split screened when he says this…

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Every lawyer is required to abide by the Rules of Professional ethics. They can lose their license. If there is exculpatory material, they don't have to present it to the GJ, but they do have to disclose-people have lost their licenses for that.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social is Worth a retweet after the week our President has had.

Ellen Braaten @ellenbraaten.bsky.social · 10d

New piece from @radiofreetom.bsky.social answers the question: What does “nothingburger” have to do with
“utterly embarrassing”
“not okay”
“more confused”
“lost in the halls of history”
“usual grievances, lies, and misrepresentation”
“obsessions”
&
“unhinged”

It’s….sobering and also a great read

Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and his threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the president. But for how long?

The US military stops getting paid from next week.

White House has, for now, ruled out legislative fix for military pay

Over 1 million military paychecks could go unfulfilled on Oct. 15.

No Kings protests, and anti-regime protests in general, serve two main positive functions:

1) Reminding participants and observers that they’re very far from alone, countering regime efforts to divide and isolate

2) Showing the absurdity of regime lies about the peaceful, pro-democracy opposition

Reconstructionist @unavaleable.bsky.social · 18h

Funny they can't say the name of protests because saying "No Kings" makes it soooo clear it's the opposite of a "hate America rally"

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.
