@KGWNews I just watched this segment. First black mayor. Dad was first black somebody. Grandfather was first black baseball something. WTF, KGW? Black peoples have been here as long as white peoples ask the native Americans. Stupidest segment I’ve ever watched.
Trump joked that if war breaks out, we wouldn’t be able to have an election. But that’s not just a throwaway line.
When Putin took power in Russia, he bombed his own people, blamed it on the Chechens, and used it to consolidate control. That’s called a false flag. Trump knows that playbook.
As I’ve said before, this is a man who doesn’t want to lose power. And if he has it his way, he never will.
So no, this “joke” isn’t funny. It’s a warning.
What do you make of it?

That’d be great, if I could stand there long enough while they yell in my face. They’ve seen how the Ben Shapiros and other podcasters just yell it. It’s too annoying.
Rather than debating facts and policy, open up a civil back-and-forth by asking something such as:
“I understand some of the reasons why you want another Trump presidency. Do you understand some of the reasons why others don’t want another Trump
presidency?”
This question presents an idea that the Trump supporter may never have had; continue to gently probe their beliefs without being confrontational. This potentially opens doors that had been previously shut.
The reason Trump tries so hard to tear us apart is his insatiable need for narcissistic supply, Terry. He doesn’t care about his followers. He cares about adulation and power through a perceived strongman act. He’s small, he’s weak, he’s insecure. Also, Russian influence/trolls.
Here is a Leaving MAGA & MeidasTouch Network testimonial of Terry Roth, a mother whose sons fell prey to QAnon & the so-called "tech bros" community.
Terry is fighting back and will not surrender. @LeavingMAGA @MeidasNetwork @meiselasb@BMeiselas

Will be interesting, @NWPinPDX . She’s a friend of all our OR Assoc. of nurseries, and Ag. Our director was COS for Bob Packwood and knows everyone in DC. We just had an Advocacy training meeting yesterday with the heavy hitters. They also need a lot of HB workers. We shall see
He looks like the guy who came into my office this week and was lost, couldn’t find his podiatrist. I asked him if he had Google Maps and he just looked at me.
BREAKING: The Trump transition team has been made aware today of serious “sexual misconduct" allegations against Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense.
According to the Vanity Fair report, the allegation was serious enough that Wiles and Trump’s lawyers spoke to Hegseth about it today.
@ezraklein Yes. We need to stop adding nuance to what is mind crushingly blatant. He picks who he wants. Not for chess reasons. But for power and vanity reasons. Always has. Always will. Life is complicated. He is not.
