Thoughts on the world from a left of middle perspective. Proudly liberal. Proudly anti-facist and anti-stupidity. https://leftofmiddle.com

No. 467 ranked Junior Golfer Kai Trump has received a exemption to make her LPGA tour debut.

I thought they wanted to make women's sports fair? Sounds to me like there are a few hundred young women more deserving of the spot. I guess DEI is ok when the inclusion is nepotism?
Yes, it sucks that trump is building a ballroom. But I'm 1,000 times more concerned about the destruction of democracy and the creation of a dictator than I'm concerned about the destruction of the east wing of the whitehouse
I suppose at this point I shouldn't be surprised at anything, and considering the other checks that have gone out the window, but I will admit I'm a bit surprised a president can just tear down chunks of a historical building like the white House and slap on some gaudy ballroom.
Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

Amazing that all it costs to get a foreign airbase belonging to a terrorist funding country inside the USA is a used jet and a golf course.
I feel like there is a term for one state sending troops into another state against the will of the democratically elected leadership of the state.

Update on Boomertifa from the war zone.
This man is running health and human services.

You could honestly pick, completely at random, any first year medical resident, and give them the job and they would be vastly more qualified.
I think those opposed to trump are putting too much weight and hope on the Epstein files. There has been plenty of available evidence that trump r**ped kids, and the Republicans have excused or ignored it. Unless the Epstein files have videos, I can't imagine it changes any minds.
The term “structural violence” is one way of describing social arrangements that put individuals and populations in harm's way. Exactly what trump threatened today regarding healthcare and the shutdown fight. Structural violence threats after weeks of stochastic terrorism.
In high school I used to like to go down to Dealey Plaza and argue with the conspiracy nuts about JFK. I'm not a conspiracy guy.

I don't trust anything coming from our FBI at this point.
Does JD not know that the Republicans control all three branches of the government?
Ice cream sales and shark attacks rise during the summer months.

Correlation does not equal causation. It'd be awesome if our government understood this.
I wish it was self awareness. In reality he's just setting up for continuing the purge of anyone not blindly loyal to the regime..
So, trump was an FBI informant about a Democrat hoax?

Their desperation reeks.
What in North Korea is this insanity?
Brutal. A humiliation ritual.
"Hey honey, I'm getting deployed. Going to D.C. Not sure when I'll be home. Yeah, apparently there is a coke bottle under a tree.... "
Death of democracy, birth of a dictatorship.

"I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States. If I think our country is in danger, and it is in danger in these cities, I can do it"
Abrego Garcia’s fate will answer directly whether Trump is king. Abrego is the canary in the mine. If Abrego gets deported again and stays deported, and the people do nothing about it, then Trump has won. He is King without checks on his power.
2A Types: this is government overreach you've been bleating about for decades. See you in D.C.

Oh, what, it was all just big talk and you're actually ok with fascism as long as it gives you an excuse for your failures in life? Ok.
"Protect your culture"?

Racist dog whistle much?

What culture are they protecting? Oversized trucks ? Baseball caps and Oakley's?

I wonder how often ICE br is brownshirts stop for burritos?
It's truly difficult to decide which of Trump's appointments is the worst, but RFK being in charge of HHS might end up being the one that kills the most Americans.
Please, if you must buy balloons, especially mylar, please make sure they don't fly away and are disposed of properly. I've cleaned up way too many over the years, and can only imagine many land in areas where few humans tread.

This was kind of middle of nowhere in the Mohave desert.
If you're curious what fascism looks like, it's federal administrators like Homan threatening to send in ICE and troops if an election in NY City doesn't go the way they want.

All you 2A pretenders say you want to prevent tyranny, but then it comes wrapped in racism and you cheer it on.
Texas in November - Votes for Republicans because f socialism.

Texas today - Where is FEMA? Why didn't the National Weather Service warn us?

The level of stupidity in this country is shaking my fundamental belief in democracy.
