Can you spot the difference?

It is not as if felon fraud Trump hasn't been obvious. The 'Putin Puppet' is as sure as day is light, and night is dark.

Every time felon fraud, Putin puppet Trump speaks about the "enemy within" Big-Media should remind viewers about the 1956 statement. But the millionaire anchors are too busy 'backing up to the pay window' and promoting their next side gig[book, speaking engagement, or promotional material].

Putin's strategy and way of thinking is not complicated. Putin has 'his man' in the Oval Office, and watches and/or directs his comments. Putin's propaganda then seizes on it to amplify the division.

Don't recall Big-Media bowing to President Biden/VP Harris they have for days as they are with the felon, Trump. What memory stands out most, are all those TV-talkers going on and on about colleges and placing blame on them.

Erika works 8 hours a day harvesting raspberries on CAs Central Coast. She shares, "I must be very careful to only harvest the ripe fruit. This careful selection means that only the best quality berries are packed and shipped to the supermarkets for you to eat." #WeFeedYou

Before we discuss raising taxes on the poor and middle class, adding $1 trillion to the deficit, taking away health insurance from 13 million, raising premiums by 10%, defending treason and swearing in a pedophile, let's begin with a prayer.

You can blame a lot of what's happening today on Alex Jones

Long before Sandy Hook, he peddled the vile conspiracy theory that "9/11 was an inside job"

Still, in 2016 Trump appeared on his show and praised his "amazing reputation"

Now those peddling conspiracy theories are running the government

The FBI got a ton of mail asking if the John Birch Society was communist or subversive. This particular woman was a Bircher who wrote to ask if the JBS was communist.

Nearly single-handedly bankrupted the USFL and ran the PGA Royal and Ancient[British Open] off in terms of using his golf courses while bringing in/working with MBS money to 'greenwash' players with their LIV golf.

Add the PGA to the list of destruction.

"Maria" is rolling up raisins under the hot Madera sun. To earn $70, she has to roll 1,000 sheets! Each row has around 250 sheet. It's hard grueling work walking on the burning sand for hours rolling one sheet after another. #WeFeedYou

"Sara" has worked in Watsonville CAs strawberries for 16 yrs. "I earn piece rate. It's raining which makes the rows slippery and the mud sticks to our shoes. It's dangerous as we still need to work fast to make enough money to pay our bills." #WeFeedYou

It's like Michelle Wolf said about Eric Trump...

Reminder, Michelle Wolf got 'banished', disappeared from the stage, 'blacklisted' after this WHCA Dinner. And remember that MSNBC @eugenedaniels2.bsky.social kowtowed in advance in firing Amber Ruffin this year.

Walk & Talk - there are voices arising in the nation that are pushing back - Obama has struck a strong chord, and sunlight is showing the way to many - that Trump is all lies and everything he does is for his personal power and wealth and vengeance; - youtu.be/7vp2DnkNpjQ?...

🤞W. Bush tommyrot-talking, product of Lee Atwater politics, McKinnon was reduced to what he is[No Labels co-founder], just as Kristofferson[RIP] said about him in Nashville long ago, at some joint close to the Quonset Hut, lacks deep thought and void of meaning.

“It's interesting to follow Marjorie Taylor Green. She's calling the GOP men weak. She wants to extend the health care subsidies. Sounds like a traditional politician looking at her constituency, seeing what she needs, and saying the right thing. Does she mean it? Does she believe it?”
