lmao, Trump just doesn’t care about hiding his corruption anymore. It’s like when you get a nice job and think that your job is guaranteed…… you can turn into a jackass because of your lack of humility. That’s what Trump is going through, and in this clip he reveals that his kids always have insider information when making a stock purchase. That’s highly illegal btw, but it’s also long been done by politicians and their families. The only thing different now is that Trump has gotten so old that he’s lost his filter and is letting his kids go wild.

How much has food quality gone downhill during the Trump administration? I was online and various people are showing off closeups of insect eggs in their food. Then I got on google and found out that he’s cut fda inspections.

Has anybody who eats out regularly noticed a decline in food preparedness and safety since Trump came aboard?



Well, it’s a good thing that Democrats are polling well in Ohio and NC, because the Democrats in Maine just shot themselves (and us) in the foot with a rocket launcher. Platner’s cooked, and Susan Collins, who isn’t much younger than McConnell, is guaranteed another six years of pretending to be very concerned.

We do have a bit of a long shot chance in Alaska, of all places. Mary Peltola is polling strongly against Dan Sullivan, and she has won a statewide election not long ago, for Alaska’s at-large House Seat. Her plus Cooper (NC) and Brown (OH) would pull Democrats up to a 50/50 split, which means Vance would be the tiebreaker vote.

Instead of toppling the Islamist regime, the Iran war put the Iranian regime back on the firmest footing it has been on since the revolutionary fervor of the 1980s. 

The regime was already weakening from protests over the past ten years. It may very well have dissolved on its own without outside interference. Now that progress is being set back.

That war was (or might still be) the most incompetent one I've seen so far, and that includes the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Even I could have told that the war is a huge gamble, and if the gamble fails, it's going to get ugly one way or another. At least the Russian failure can be explained as a systemic failure, where the system was rigged to fail like that (by the great czar, of course - but still systemic), but the Iran war seems like such a personal failure.

Of all the old politicians on their last leg, that's not one I was expecting in the near future. Good riddance all the same.

Russia recently issued an arrest warrent for Lindsey Graham, and there are people wondering if Russia had something to do with it.  Hopefully, there will be an autopsy.
