When one question can shutdown the government. It’s aura farming.

A white fat guy obsesses over what people think of him. While looting like there is no tomorrow from the American people.

Donald Trump ruined his own momentum. Destroyed his own America. Has lead us all to a place only our future dead children/family will remind us we should have done something.

Trump showed up and smelled the place up until everyone left. No seriously google it.

So many rejected Trumps Hostage Demands played out in public as a “Compact”. Journalism just don’t report about it like we used to. That right, Newsweek?

Lumen @lumenation.bsky.social · 16h

Smoke and mirrors. A shell game of investment. Multi layered contract obligations that incentivize innovation over safety and efficiency.

Basically setting money on fire is the measure of success to AI companies. At least until someone ask to see if it works. Then it is apparently perfect.

It’s Benjamin Netanyahu. Not Trump or whoever. Fucking branding.

The President of the United States sold out America to Qatar cheaply, for the extremely low cost of ONE $400 million dollar jet and a $5 Billion golf resort, in exchange for it's very own military base in Idaho.

Congrats "America First" MAGA.
You got played.

AGAIN.

This is so fucked up‼️Military families are having to go to food banks because #TrumpShutUSDown We bailed out Argentina to the tune of $20 billion and Qatar is getting a Air Force base in Idaho, but our military personnel have to resort to this. Republicans can’t govern‼️

POST MORTEM: The blocked post was by @jasminerobinson89.bsky.social

This post was about Hamas not being 'innocent' in all of this. And other posts surrounding all this.

Calling everyone in Gaza, Hamas is also dehumanizing. Then claiming someone "isn't innocent enough" while Genocide surrounds.

Super weird flex. Why is Jeffery Epstein's Soviet Girl admitting to this? Why not give the 'win' to her peace seeking husband dictator in cheeto?

Melania Trump has negotiated the release of children abducted from Ukraine after back-channel talks with the Kremlin.

The first lady said she was working “directly” with President Putin’s team to secure the release of more children in a surprise announcement from the White House

No one cares this much about anything they don’t actually receive… right?

This is like the opposite of virtue signaling. Dirtue signaling? The Woke Reich?

Perfect Victim Myth

DEF: form of victim blame that defines a victim has to be "ideal relig/race/gender". ALT: a "specific cause/effect" that is simple to understand to a laymen.

NOT widely accepted in Western Societies.
We could just stop making more victims of any kind.

He has no issue building the BGEA and Baptist Conference into what it is. Billy Grahams money went to this, his kid is finally pissed about it. Only after it’s fully corrupted does Franky find his line to stand up for the mission. Too fucking late.

Walk softly get beaten with big stick, I guess.

“Authoritarianism is as American as slavery, as internment camps, as police brutality, as voter suppression. To fight it, white people have to stop pretending government oppression arrived overnight and start dismantling the systems that have been incubating it all along.”

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

That’s the only thing we need to say to each other from now on.

President Trump did not broker peace. It would be Bibi allowing Dementia Don to pretend to have control.

Let’s not be egregious about complimenting the Flaming Hindenburg as it rushes to anoints its Adolf.

Israel approved an agreement brokered by President Trump that secures the exchange of all remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza for Palestinian prisoners. Will the deal really bring peace? Listen to "The Daily."

How Trump Got Israel and Hamas to a Truce

Israel approved an agreement brokered by President Trump that paves the way for a cease-fire in the war in Gaza and the return of all remaining hostages.

What do I even say?

Pandering to the 2%. Middle class they don't even see you no more. Just rich people getting their way. You can too when you are rich. Soon. After the Illegals are gone, I'm sure of it. That'll be when you get rich.

Or maybe after that other kind of person is gone. Or maybe...

Fact check please: Trump stopped 8 wars in 9 months.
