Finland has been ranked the happiest country in the world for the last 9 years (2018-2026). Finland does not have any Murdoch-owned media. NewsCorp does not own any newspapers, TV networks or digital media in Finland. Finnish media is entirely locally owned. 🤔 #media#journalism
Iran bombed ships going through the Strait of Hormuz so Trump bombs Iran, and oil prices start rising again and the stock market goes down making buying opportunities ripe again.
Then Trump goes back to saying he bombed Iran because “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”
Repeats it at least 60 times to the press today.
I didn’t realize Iran’s nuclear program was in the Strait of Hormuz controlling oil.
Feels more like post 9/11 Bush era Middle East war lies and war economy politics than any real concern about Iran having a nuclear weapon much like Iraq having weapons of mass destruction.
Literally what we voted to end from the Republican Party.

This is insane:
The White House just got Community Noted for trying to pass off a picture posted by trump from A YEAR AGO as one taken recently. That is literally FAKE NEWS, guys.
Total clown show over there.🤡
How embarrassing. 😳
🚨TRUMP HAS SEVERAL MENTAL LAPSES ON CAMERA
WTF. Trump just called it the "Islamic Republic of Japan," and called Zelenskyy “President Putin.” He even mispronounced Obama’s name.
WHERE IS JAKE TAPPER’S BOOK?
To their credit, the Founding Fathers always suspected a king-like tyrant would one day try to rule as personal dictator and use the powers of the presidency to live above the law.
But they never foresaw an entire branch of government abdicating oath in favor of partisan complicity, executive authority, cravenness, and grift, and they CERTAINLY never foresaw algorithmic media producing a citizenry so manipulated by obvious deceit.
Democrats need to stop panicking and pointing fingers at each other and start attacking the GOP for allowing Trump to use America like one big ATM for his corrupt family and billionaire buddies. This is simple.
Oh, FFS. We also had chalk and blackboards, pens with steel nibs and inkwells, milk turning sour out in the playground sun, and the cane if you mucked up. I assume this fool Abbott wants to go back to all that. Christ he’s a dickhead.
“He raped me.”
“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”
“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”
Just because Trump refused to release the Epstein files, doesn’t mean the Republicans who protect him don’t know what’s in them.
I probably shouldn’t have to explain this but there was never gonna be a real peace agreement with Iran, Trump & his kids are making too much money off of market manipulation and the war itself, his aim is to get the press to stop paying attention to it.
Nellis: If Scott Jennings and Thune and everybody else can have a 20 minute phone call with Mitch McConnell, he should be able to shoot a 60 sec proof of life video to show us that he's okay. I think they know the deadline for a special election is August 3rd. If he's not able to do his job, he should resign right now. They should have a special election
It’s time for equality before the law. Sarah Henderson admitted to making ‘test’ calls to 000—a clear breach of Section 474.18 of the Criminal Code. Emergency lines aren't for testing; they are for lives. If citizens face jail for this, so should she. #auspol
BREAKING: UNHINGED TRUMP DECLARES THE CEASEFIRE WITH IRAN IS OVER.🚨
"To me, I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum." Some deal maker.
He can't get his way, he has a tantrum, like a big fat baby.
BREAKING: Trump says that the “Islamic Republic of Japan” shot 111 missiles at an American aircraft carrier.
This gaffe would dominate a full media cycle if Biden said it.
Donald Trump is still REFUSING to release billions in fire disaster aid OWED to victims in California.
Now he's doing the same to Democratic-led states while fast-tracking Republican-led ones.
Americans deserve better than government by political retribution.
I was watching Trump sitting next to Zelenskyy this morning, rambling and riffing for the press. I was making notes, when - holy shit, did he really say that, when - holy shit, he just did a 180, when - holy shit, that makes no sense, and holy shit, something else - so I threw my notes away to make this post instead.
This man cannot be the emissary for America anymore. He is shot. He is full of gaffes (the Islamic Republic of Japan, yes - he said that), he is full of hyperbole (the bomb goes off and leaves you with no face), he is full of narcissistic envy (he can't shut up about Obama), full of ambiguity, full of politicization, and his attempts at grandiosity fall flat to the rest of the world and make us look terrible.
What the rest of the world thinks, matters. Our friends scratch their heads; and our adversaries salivate at how predictable and malleable he is. Everyone privately scoffs at him. His reputation is not salvageable, and he's dragged America's reputation down with him.
Malignant narcissists in decline ALWAYS get worse, and they NEVER go down alone.
