So, China is buying soy beans from Argentina instead of America but we are giving Argentina billions of dollars? Also, Argentinians have free healthcare but Americans do not and our government is now shut down because it doesn’t have enough money to give Americans even a discount on healthcare?

Trump rants that Time Mag "disappeared" his hair.

Sir, we have a problem with Americans being disappeared right off our streets. How about helping us with this matter?

You know that scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail? The one where King Arthur's knights are savaged by a killer rabbit?

Yeah. That's how MAGAs are with Bad Bunny.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

In 1952 visionary Ray Bradbury published his story "A Sound of Thunder". He wrote:

“We’re lucky. If Deutscher had gotten in, we’d have the worst kind of dictatorship. There’s an anti-everything man for you, a militarist, anti-Christ, anti-human, anti-intellectual."

Replace Deutscher with Trump.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

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.

This sure does remind me of life under Nazis. Hitler closed down all media that told the truth about his Reich. Donald hates truth telling about his American Reich.

America first? Utter horseshit. We don't let other countries build bases on our soil.

Of course, our "leader" isn't supposed to accept a huge jet from that country, either.

Blatant quid pro quo.

Who would ever thing it would be a good idea bring Foreign troops on to US soil?
Trump just wants troops on "US" soil that he can use again any US citizens he wants.
Who next Russia? North Korea?

The move is a sign of increasingly close ties between the U.S. and Qatar.

Just you watch. His Fashy Bollocks is going to incite his cult to violently storm the Nobel Peace Prize headquarters. He needs another flashy gold thing.

Does he know what "peace" means? Ask Chicago or Portland.

Descriptive phrase: "his fashy bollocks". Concise; colorful; accurate!

I will be using this!
