Ivanka on Jared: "He really has almost no ego. It's to the point where I'm incredulous by it. I'll get upset about things for him, and he doesn't care. If someone criticizes him, and he doesn't know that person, it just doesn't affect him."
That's how you describe a sociopath.
@allenanalysis JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!
This administration doesn't merely want to take us all back to the 1950s. It wants to take us back to the pre-Enlightenment Dark Ages.

🚨NEWS: Scientists Were Handcuffed At A Medical Conference.
Researchers and physicians attending the American Diabetes Association conference in New Orleans were reportedly detained and removed while distributing a paper criticizing cuts to federal research funding.
Think about that for a second.
Scientists were not accused of sabotaging research.
They were sharing research.
If the reports are accurate, the question isn’t whether you agree with their conclusions.
It’s why distributing a scientific paper resulted in handcuffs.
It is time to end this war. But Russia’s ruler wants to keep fighting. That is why Ukrainian sanctions against this aggression are working. Last night, our drones covered a distance of about 1,000 kilometers to the St. Petersburg region – to the enemy navy’s arsenals and a base in Kronstadt. Our long-range sanctions also reached about 500 kilometers into the Krasnodar region – and hit an oil depot. These are important results of the joint efforts by warriors from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. Russia must end its war and stop its attacks on life. Any manifestation of injustice against Ukraine will receive a just response. I thank our warriors for their precision.
I find it interesting that Oligarch Oleg Deripaska owns the Aluminum Plant in Limerick, Ireland, that is supplying Russia with aluminum for their weapons…and Mitch McConnell tried to build an Aluminum plant in Kentucky with Deripaska…
Trump told Netanyahu on Monday: "You're fucking crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now." The official White House account posted "TRUST IN TRUMP. Just sit back and relax" that same evening.
Today: Israel's Defense Minister said attacks on Hezbollah will continue in southern Lebanon and displaced Lebanese residents will not be allowed to return, despite Wednesday's ceasefire agreement. Hezbollah rejected the latest ceasefire deal as Israeli strikes killed four more people in Lebanon.
Thomas Wright's argument in the Atlantic is that further conflict is not a risk but a structural inevitability. Iran has learned it can close the Strait at will and now treats that as permanent leverage. Iran's top negotiator posted publicly that his side seizes concessions with missiles, not dialogue. Israel will not accept Iranian remilitarization and has reserved freedom of action in Lebanon and beyond. When Iran begins rearming - which it will - Israel will likely strike preemptively. Iran will respond by closing the Strait again.
Trump wants a narrow deal: reopen the Strait, defer nuclear questions to a later negotiation that almost nobody expects to succeed. The same pattern as the China trade war - pause, package small steps as progress, call it a win.
When Trump started his second term Iran was weaker than at any point since the early 1980s. The attempt to permanently solve the Iran problem has made it less solvable. That is the sentence. The week's events are the proof.
What problem do you see with immigrants?
They do work no American will do. They work in our hotels, our restaurants, construction, agriculture. Millions of these jobs sit unfilled because our citizens won't do them. We live in the Coachella Valley. we have unpicked vegetables rotting in fields, we have increased construction cost and labor shortages that have made home ownership impossible. We rely on the travel industry. this year we have labor shortages in all areas and trump instead our best ally in Canada, so the Canadians are not visiting. Trump is far more dangerous than any immigrant.
Just to get facts reasonably straight. Trump lost almost a million citizens due to his pandemic mismanagement. He has destroyed our courts and justice system to go after his enemies. He has made gas, food, housing, all unaffordable with his moronic tariffs and this unnecessary war, he has destroyed our relationships with every other power country in the world, he is doing nothing except ego projects. he has not passed one law or bettered government in any way. He falls asleep in meetings, he babbles nonsense, except to say how great he is. He is an adulterer and a serial sex assaulter. Likely a pedophile but he fights the release of Epstein. He has enriched himself using the presidency. He is a racist, destroying the voter laws, he lies constantly.
This is who you support.
Oh yeah, he is and has always been a damn coward, running from the draft and then disrespecting those who served and paid the ultimate price.
Turn off Fox News.
@silentn0mor3 YUou duo realize that the "illegals" pay taxes and contribute to Social Security. They may be the difference in keeping Social Security alive. They also never collect.
I am very sorry you cannot see what trump and his cult have done to our fabulous country. Especially to veterans and to our military. Hegseth is an abomination and trump is a coward and always will be. How have immigrants destroyed your way of life? I would think a man who has made everything unaffordable, taken away voting rights, insulted our veterans, ruined our relationships all over the world, enriched his criminal family while in office and committed countless sexual assaults has done far more to ruin your way of life.
@amvetsupport@GerriCosenzo No reason for it either. All they need is slap ON ankle bracelet & charge the immigrant $35 and it assures they show up at court hearings and if need be deportation
Doesn’t cost us anything
Now we are charged $265 per night house them 70,000 = $11,550,000 PER NIGHT
It’s a scam
MAGA vets. Weigh in.
With the recent ICE funding, ICE now has more money that the entire United States Marine Corps. There are 204,000 marines and 28,000 ICE personnel. ICE now has 85 billion. The entire marine budget is 54 billion. This is absolutely insane.
What the holy hell is wrong with Congress. More importantly, what the hell did veterans vote for to give trump his own army?
Things most Americans agree on:
Groceries cost too much.
Tariffs suck and make no sense.
Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.
The debt is a mess.
The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.
Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.
Americans are exhausted.
AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.
Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.
Canadians are super fucking cool.
Mexicans are chill.
Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.
Good neighbors are a blessing.
Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.
We all question, are we alone in the universe?
We all fuck up along the way.
Epstein didn’t hang himself.
The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.
The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!
Things we’re told to fight about:
Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.
That’s the joke.
My one ask to everyone right now: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. https://t.co/0StGlWz45f
