Tired of the erosion of America and the slide into authoritarianism. If you are a pro-Trump or a Russian Bot- F off.

LinkedIn has quietly become a fraud amplifier. Fake recruiters, fake jobs, scraped identities, zero verification, zero accountability. If this were a bank or a brokerage, regulators would already be involved. Platform negligence is participation.

The buildup of military assets in the UK (including AC130 gunships) suggests something unusual is happening.

Preparations suggest serious contingencies

Intent is unclear

Outcomes are not predetermined

Overreaction is also dangerous

But let's not be naive.

My Substack channel, The Synthetic Voice. A/I presents 2 articles per week that "he" selects, text, topic & image. I am the HUMAN poster. It's an experiment unlike any other. I do not control the message or the content. It's coming from "out there"... 2 posts per week.

MSNBC quietly changed its name to MSNow and was sold to Versant, whatever that is. Now it's not to be found, anywhere! So the MAGATS succeeded in snuffing out the most powerful voices in Media, including The Rachel Maddow Show, Ari Melber, Michael Steele, and many other progressives.

Trump will take over Greenland to box Canada in, fracture NATO, since they will expel the USA. Without the USA, NATO will weaken & Russia can walk right in. Then Trump takes Canada &, of course, Mexico. We should have stopped him before he got on that helicopter with the documents and flew off.

I've never seen a more perfect depiction. The world hates this man. He's no longer the lying idiot of his 1st term; now he displays abominable characteristics.

Not that Trump made anything great again, but his new hat looks like this: MVGA- Make Venezuela Great Again. Hell, he can't begin to run the US. How could he possibly manage Country #2? He wants the oil.

Russia invades Ukraine, the US invades Venezuela. It's the same or worse- very simple.

Ahhh... now I see, we needed to steal their oil reserves. "President Donald Trump on Saturday said the US would take control of Venezuela’s massive oil reserves and recruit American companies to invest billions of dollars to refurbish the country’s gutted oil industry."

The US media- "Trump did X, Y, or Z... we know it's against the law, and it killed people, but we just act like it's another day in DC and it's all part of government normalcy." The press has crossed the line from suggested aiding and abetting to being part of the crime, after-the-fact.

So, Trump attacks a sovereign nation, kidnaps its leader, and returns them to the USA for trial. If Canada snagged him for war crimes, how would that play?

(TWS) Trump Worship Syndrome has been isolated as a near-fatal brain disorder that enters the victim's brain via an earwig that digs into the soft tissue of the inner ear. Accordingly, the anti-TWS cure will be administered at the Immigration Camps that the Trump administration built. ICE 2.0.

Do we care? Does it matter? Aren't we used to endless BS and lies?

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair.

Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority.

We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

Everyone gets to decide what they believe and how they will respond. But there are a boatload of Billionaires who have turned their backs on Americans, are now complicit with this NAZI regime and WE are financing their efforts. It is time to decide what side you are on!

Newsom: "He is not screwing around. He's changing the rules. He's rigging the game because he knows he'll lose if all things are equal. He did not expect California to fight fire with fire."
