Even Musk is not happy with TACO... 100's of billions of new debt just undermined all the hard work he made.

Trump isn't fiscally responsible like he claimed.

I am wondering how his support base is coping with his shenanigans? Regret their vote yet?

No they do not regret their vote because the pain has not set in yet.  They still defend him with the same zest as they have before but they are becoming more mute as of late.  It use to be in comment sections you have a lot of them still holding the line but lately they have disappeared and only come out when there is a positive thing someone spinnned up on Trump.  

I have a few friends who I know who voted for Trump and when I tell him what some of the things he has said and done, they actually look at me like I am lying.  I tell them its his own words and they would not believe me.  The key part here is that the news, sites and social network they get their information from just do not report that stuff and keeps them in the dark and thus they also will not trust anything that is not from those sites so they stay in a safe space.

Even pain is unlikely to deter them unless they're foraging for food in the gutters. A lot of Trumpers seem willing to go through an awful lot of pain, so long as they get to see people they hate, hurt or killed.

I've maintained for years that the economy was never the issue - the cruelty and malice towards other people was. Southern states were content to be nailed firmly to the bottom of the economic ladder as long as they were allowed to practice Jim Crow.

It remains as true as ever: "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." 



Did Miller suddenly grow a conscience?

‘They knew’: Biden administration official admits Israel committing war crimes

Matthew Miller, the US State Department spokesman under former President Joe Biden, has told UK broadcaster Sky News it is “without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes” in Gaza.

Miller, who spent more than a year justifying Washington’s unwavering support for Israel despite mounting evidence it was violating international law in Gaza, said it was an “open question” whether the Israeli state “has pursued a policy of deliberately committing war crimes”.

“I think what is … almost certainly not an open question is that there have been individual incidents that have been war crimes, where Israeli soldiers and members of the Israeli military have committed war crimes,” Miller said, adding that Israeli soldiers have not been held accountable.

Responding to the interview, Matt Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy think tank, said the Biden administration deceived the American people.

“They misled the public and the Congress because Biden wanted to keep sending weapons” to Israel, Duss wrote on social media. “I’m glad Miller is speaking up now, even if it’s late. We need to hear from more of his colleagues, because once again: They all knew.”

From the start of the war in October 2023 to when Biden left office on January 20, his administration funnelled billions of dollars in military assistance to Israel despite reports US weapons were being used in deadly attacks on Palestinian civilians.

US laws prohibit arming countries engaged in human rights abuses. But advocates said Biden’s administration skewed the facts and denied well-documented Israeli violations.

‘Blood on his hands’: Ex-Biden official denounced for ‘war crimes’ admission

Raed Jarrar – advocacy director at DAWN, a Washington-based think-tank and advocacy group – says it’s “outrageous” that former US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller waited until he was out of office to admit Israel committed war crimes in Gaza.

As we reported earlier, Miller said during an interview with Sky News that it is “without a doubt true” that Israeli forces committed war crimes in the Palestinian territory.

“US officials who know atrocities are being committed and continue defending them from behind the podium are not neutral, they are complicit. Miller’s silence while in government helped Israel with its genocide. He has Palestinian blood on his hands,” Jarrar told Al Jazeera in an email.

“Anyone guilty of aiding and abetting genocide should be held accountable by the International Criminal Court or other international mechanisms.”



Top US senator derides Greta Thunberg’s attempt to break Israel’s Gaza siege

We have a reaction from Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator, to the Swedish activist who joined an effort led by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) to break Israel’s naval siege on Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid to the Palestinians there.

“Hope Greta and her friends can swim,” the prominent legislator wrote on X.

The post was taken as a threat by some users on X, as the FFC’s previous attempt to break the Israeli siege was dealt a blow by drone attacks that breached their ship’s hull. Activists at the time said they believed Israel was behind the attack.

Responses to Graham’s tweet on X included users who asked, “Why would a US senator be threatening a young climate activist?” and, “Why is a 69-year-old U.S. senator joking about the drowning of a 22-year-old Swedish activist? Is this where American politics is now?”

Thunberg as well as Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham are among those joining the mission, which set sail from Italy on Sunday.



US rights group denounces senator’s ‘hope they can swim’ post

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has warned that comments by US Senator Lindsey Graham about the aid flotilla heading for Gaza could signal “a green light” for Israel to attack the activists’ vessel.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg and Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham are among those joining the mission, which set sail from Italy to break Israel’s blockade.

On Sunday, Graham wrote on X: “Hope Greta and her friends can swim.” CAIR called his remarks “both inhumane and reckless”.

“By mocking peaceful, unarmed civilians risking their lives to deliver humanitarian aid, he is dehumanizing them and potentially signaling US sanction for Israel to repeat its past deadly state terrorism attacks on flotilla ships,” said Robert S McCaw, CAIR’s director of government affairs.

“These are not enemies, they are volunteers risking their lives. If Senator Graham has any sense of decency he should retract his statement and make clear that the United States does not condone violence against peaceful human rights defenders.”

US embassy in Israel accuses media of spreading ‘misinformation’

The US embassy in Israel has issued a statement criticising what it calls “media misinformation” related to Israeli military attacks on Gaza civilians seeking humanitarian relief.

The statement named The New York Times, CNN and The Associated Press, saying their reporting on Palestinians killed at aid distribution points run by the Israel-US-backed GHF was “false”.

“Drone video and first-hand accounts clearly showed that there were no injuries, no fatalities, no shooting, no chaos,” US Ambassador Mike Huckabee said in the statement.

“We are demanding an immediate retraction of the lies and are appealing to all media sources to act with objective professionalism to cover actual events instead of being a partner of terrorism by blindly following Hamas news releases,” it added.

Dozens of aid seekers have been killed or wounded while trying to get food from GHF distribution points over the past week while Israel maintains a crippling blockade on the bombarded enclave, where a famine looms.

Every accusation is an admission when it comes to Israel and now the US as well.


US congresswoman attacks UN chief over call to probe Gaza aid killings

Elise Stefanik, a US congresswoman, has attacked UN chief Antonio Guterres as an “anti-Semite”.

Stefanik – a staunch supporter of Israel – described as “outrageous” Guterres’s call for an independent investigation into the Israeli military’s deadly shootings of Palestinian aid seekers in Gaza over the past several days.

“This is outrageous and the culmination of morally bankrupt leadership as Secretary General of the UN,” she wrote on X.

As we’ve been reporting, the Health Ministry in Gaza says at least 75 Palestinians have been killed since the US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began distributing limited food aid in Gaza last week.

Despite Israeli and US denials that Palestinians were shot dead while trying to get food parcels, witnesses have said Israeli soldiers opened fire on the crowds of desperate people.

Stefanik had been tapped by Trump to be the US ambassador to the UN, but her nomination was withdrawn in March to keep her congressional seat in the Republican Party’s hands.

Now it's outrageous and antisemitic to call for an independent investigation...



I mean, he did pardon Paul Manafort and people who literally stormed the capitol. Plus anything to shield himself from the well-documented racism smears. Only when they’re accused of much of the same shit you were found guilty of.





the reports about him being on a buffet of meds are pleasing to read, willing to be an OD is on the cards for 2025.

Alternative Title: Top US Senator 'Jokes' About Israel Blowing Up a Ship Full of Innocent Citizens From Other Countries.

Sick little cunt, Republicans will scream about how Israel is innocent and all that, then jerk off at the thought of Israel blowing up a ship of civilians, because they know Israel has done it before but they denied Israel was responsible. Lets be honest though, even if this ship was full of Americans and Israel blew it to pieces, Republicans would still defend them.
