It’s infuriating that he would apologize for something that represents reality…but I suppose it’s realistic to cater to the #OrangeFelon to get tariffs reduced. National interests outweigh outrage. Oh, it will be SO good to get a Congress with spine again someday.

Canada PM Carney apologises to Trump over tariff ad

The cruelty just keeps coming. Can anyone tell us how and why this is good governance, given #Trumpovich and the #GQP doing their best to kill ACA and all assistance for health costs? Gift article.

It was never “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” It was also a clear warning of what was to come.

Victor Shi posts: “This was published one year ago. Everything is right.”
The image shows a New York Times Sunday Opinion page with bold black text reading:
“DONALD TRUMP SAYS HE WILL PROSECUTE HIS ENEMIES, ORDER MASS DEPORTATIONS, USE SOLDIERS AGAINST CITIZENS, ABANDON ALLIES, PLAY POLITICS WITH DISASTERS. BELIEVE HIM.”

What’s the story behind the picture?

johnjorgensen84.bsky.social @johnjorgensen84.bsky.social · 4d

EVERY time #Trumpovich attacks individuals like this, he’s depending on lack of reply to make his point. EVERY time, any accused person should riposte in the same medium, repeating and expanding on the charges and corruption that made him the subject of their work. Keep yelling “CRIMINAL”!

Excellent article, well worth reading. But the question becomes: how do we get to this point (quoted from article): “Assuming that Trump and his MAGA allies—including isolationists, Christian nationalists, and white supremacists—can and will be discredited and defeated…”

Don’t hold your breath. The Supreme Court is firmly corrupted to his side of the fence. Governance for the good of the People is no longer the concern of 6 of the 9 justices.

To him it’s not lying; he’s simply telling the story based on treating deception of his opponents (meaning anyone not a Trumpist or not in his circles) as a legitimate method to get his way. He has no ethical discrepancy, in his view.

johnjorgensen84.bsky.social @johnjorgensen84.bsky.social · 13d

I’d like to know if or when I can disregard the dotard’s blathering. This court commentary is not really helpful, since social media shows what’s in his mind. My thought is that if #Trumpovich says it, it’s his decision process there and then, and it’s worth holding him to account.

He wants to see people grovel and do what he tells them to do, also. Self-abasement, like what his toady Lindsey Graham does.

I would SO hope that Mr Comey might have a long press conference to detail what he knows. If he counterattacked with some vigor, he could lay #Trumpovich out for the count. We need to stop playing reactively.

But this GOP surrenders both ethical and moral standards to a man who has neither, in order to get what they want. The complete subjugation of the party formerly known as the GOP has left them with nothing but adoring and fawning; God forbid they object. Just wait for Budapest this week.

It would be great to have the Epstein contacts revealed by Australia and UK. Let THEM also embarrass #Trumpovich and his pedophiles.

The tipping point is coming, and it won’t wait for arbitrary goal years (I.e., 2050). Acceleration of extinctions is just around the corner, followed soon thereafter by water shortages and food shortages as crops fail.

Deeper inquiry will likely show the Russian connections #Trumpovich introduced Epstein to for banking. Recall that #Trumpovich used Russian bankers to pull him out of his insolvency issues in 2005.

Anyone who voted for #GQP is complicit in this. Shifting costs to families will result in less care, less public health, fewer hospitals in rural areas, and dramatically more bankruptcies. Gift article.
