Trump is using the same lies that Putin and Hitler used to start their wars.

Nazis use lies as a weapon, to switch the roles of victim and attacker.

While Trump threatens to tariff 🇨🇦Canadian potash, and we harumph that it won’t work because the 🇺🇸USA needs it so much, he’s also relieved Byelorussian potash from sanctions.

The allure of being a “peacemaker” seems so misguided given Putin’s track record. It’s time for world leaders to speak of accountability and NOT appeasement and hope-filled BS.
Stubb's predecessor was known as having a deep understanding of Putin and being able to predict his next moves. Somehow that quality seemed more useful than whatever this wishful thinking is a reflection of.
President Stubb:

I think we are in a critical moment in negotiations for peace and at the same time we're probably closer to a peace agreement than we have been at any time during these four years. And of course we're working right now pretty much on three documents.

I sat down with 20 undecided Texas voters on @jubileemedia.bsky.social’s Surrounded.

One of them brought up “welfare queens” so I told him the truth:

The biggest welfare queens in this country are the giant corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes.

AP on Trump now, and Biden in June 2022.

For Trump, declining to 36 percent approval is “good news.”

For Biden, holding steady at 41% is “a source of concern.”

Phang: Bove knows he’s not a regular citizen anymore. Judges are bound by different rules of conduct than an average Joe or Jane citizen.

So for Bove to say that he was there in his “private capacity” or even his “public citizen” capacity is bunk and bullshit.

You gotta watch the video! The gaslighting is so extreme that you just want to laugh your ass off BUT this isn’t a joke, this is Trump/Miller telegraphing their intentions to lock up political opponents by labeling them as “Antifa.”

AI data centers are sucking up communities’ power & water.

AI is being used by corporations to shaft consumers and is threatening young workers’ job prospects.

So Trump wants to ram through a ban on state AI regulation — all to help out his Big Tech billionaire friends.

See how this works?
