Bob Costas on Trump: "He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history.
You have to be in a toxic cult to believe that Trump has ever been emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or ethically fit to be POTUS." (2024)
The Ebola Outbreak is worse than we thought & it’s thanks to the Trump Administration which ended up cutting the funding for USAiD. This caused the U.S not to get the alerts about the Ebola Virus & its deaths till possibly over a month or more later.
Rep Adam Smith nails it again. If ANYONE thinks Trump is respected anywhere outside Russia, Israel and North Korea, they need to seek medical help.
He is now widely viewed as a dangerous global village idiot. As a result, America is n turn viewed as a pariah strait operating a criminal extortion racket from the Oval Office.

APPLEBAUM: United States under this administration is no longer interested in leading democratic coalitions against Russia or anyone else.
President Trump has begun to align US foreign and domestic policies with values and practices of the autocratic world.
Democracy is no longer at center of United States foreign policy or American identity.
President and his administration attempted to strip funding from USAID or Radio Free Europe, American institutions that once promoted democracy around the world.
Trump verbally attacked Canada, European Union, America's Asian partners, placing inexplicably high tariffs on their goods.
Trump shouted at Ukrainian president in Oval Office, threatened to annex Greenland by force, claimed that EU was created to "screw US," and echoed Putin in calling NATO paper tiger.
Trump negotiated with Russia not to bring just peace to Ukraine or security to Europe, but also in order to help US businesses profit from lifting of Russian sanctions.
No rural hospital that closes is an accident. It is a policy choice.
It is what happens when politicians like Susan Collins put health insurance companies, Big Pharma, and private equity firms before the people they're supposed to represent.
Holy shit, this is BRILLIANT: This dude breaks down why everyone thinks the whole WHCD event was fake... everything about trump is FAKE.
Best video you'll see today.
Jeffries on Kash Patel: "We have to stop putting all the blame on the people who nominated this incompetent, toxic, malignant individual. What about the people who confirmed him? It's extraordinary to me that Senate Republican confirmed people like Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and Patel."
@micyoung75@fjbagel48 The former Confederacy has, in spirit, by way of so-called Christian Nationalism and MAGA, taken over governing this country. It chooses to run the nation with corruption, abuse and disdain for human rights and civil liberties, just as it governed in the past. It is a cancer.
Trump likes to claim Iran's leaders are religious nutjobs. For context, this is Trump's White House faith advisor Paula White leading a mass exorcism. 😂🤣�
Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.
Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”
