No, I am not a bot. Centrist Dem. Political pragmatist; a nearly extinct breed. The whole MAGA thing is a nightmare we all share.

[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: @jdvance: “If you go back to WWII, if you go back to WWI, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.”

Lawrence: “NO, they didn’t. WWII ended with ZERO negotiations. WWII ended the way Donald Trump claimed his war in #Iran was going to end—unconditional surrender. Japan and Germany each signed unconditional surrender documents. Adolf Hitler killed himself rather than submit Germany to the unconditional surrender that he knew was coming. Every vice president, everyone, prior to JD Vance has KNOWN that President FDR demanded the unconditional surrender of Germany and Japan during WWII and when FDR died…his vice president, then elevated to the presidency, Harry Truman, accepted those unconditional surrenders without a word of negotiation with anyone about those surrenders. That kind of statement by JD Vance demonstrating a complete IGNORANCE of how WWII ended is the kind of thing that used to get you drummed out of American politics before Donald Trump’s DUMBING DOWN of the Republican Party and it tells you something about  the quality of thinking that the vice president of the United States brings to his job.” 😳

When the illusion finally shatters, what remains isn't disappointment,it's humiliation.

The man you poured your faith into was never a visionary, never a savior, never even remotely exceptional.
He was a hollow fraud wrapped in ego, fueled by noise, and sustained by endless self-promotion.

Every boast, every grand promise, every display of swagger crumbles the instant reality enters the room.
What looked like confidence was arrogance.
What looked like strength was insecurity.
What looked like leadership was little more than a carefully marketed illusion.

Scratch beneath the surface and there's no hidden brilliance, no master strategist, no misunderstood genius. Just an impulsive, self-absorbed figure stumbling from one failure to the next, desperately trying to drown incompetence in a torrent of bluster and spectacle.

In the end, the strongman image collapses into exactly what it always was: cheap theater.
A gaudy performance.
A caricature masquerading as leadership.
A salesman peddling an image he could never live up to.

And the hardest part isn't watching the act fall apart.
It's realizing how long you applauded it, defended it, and mistook obvious bullshit for substance.....

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Yes, we all saw how much of a brilliant military strategist Trump is in Iran.🤡

How is it possible that this document has been read by tens of millions of people all over the world on the internet but a senior senator on the Intel Committee hasn’t?

Just a reminder, Jeffrey Epstein claimed "Trump will attack Iran if he is cornered like a rat."

True story.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

A brand new bridge between Detroit and Canada is finished and ready to open. It would speed up traffic for millions of trucks, cut delays for American businesses, and help the auto industry that employs people in every state. There is just one problem.

Donald Trump won’t let it open.

Here is why.

The family that owns the old bridge stands to lose business when the new one opens. So in January, they gave one million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.

Weeks later they met with Trump’s Commerce Secretary.

He called Trump.

Hours after that, Trump announced he would block the new bridge. The opening was set for June 12. It got canceled the day before. The bridge sits there finished and empty.

Now here is the part that should make every taxpayer angry.

Canada paid for the entire bridge.

Every dollar. And the United States already owns half of it for free. Trump is holding up a bridge we got for nothing, to protect a donor who wrote him a check, while picking a fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner.

This is corruption in plain sight.

A billionaire pays, and the President delivers. American workers and businesses pay the price.

Open the bridge. A government should work for the people, not for whoever writes the biggest check.

I see they are also vacuuming up the blue coating which is peeling off.

[U.S. Interior Press @interiorpress47]

The advanced nanobubbler technology very effectively killed the algae that has plagued every Lincoln Reflecting Pool reopening—most infamously Obama's reopening—since 1922.

The Reflecting Pool water is crystal clear, and our National Park Service team is now vacuuming up the dead algae resting on the bottom of some parts of the Reflecting Pool—just like the destroyed Iranian Navy resting on the bottom of the Persian Gulf.

[Mace Austin @MrTalkingPoints]

Ha ha! The lapdog media also made him out to be a masterful negotiator! That was wrong also.

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

.@VP: "Donald Trump is much different as a human being than the media makes him out to be. He's very warm. He's a very loving person to his kids, to his grandkids. He's incredibly generous... He understands people at an instinctual level better than anybody that I've ever known. From a pure IQ perspective, he's a very smart person."

Seems on a regular basis some entity hands over our personal data identity theft kit to hackers. This time it is the Texas Parks and Wildlife. Thanks Texas GOP for your masterful handling of our personal data while you wail away on divisive politics.

Kinda like FOX news obsession with Obama’s tan suit.

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

Let me get this straight.

CNN has spent more energy investigating algae in the DC Reflecting Pool than they spent on:

- Billions in Minnesota Medicaid fraud
- California's third-world election counts
- Crimes by illegal aliens
- The COVID cover-up
- Federal investigations into Democrat officials

Pond scum gets the full investigative treatment.

Massive fraud against the American taxpayer? Crickets.

This is EXACTLY why nobody trusts the retards in legacy media anymore.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

Trump’s humiliating Iran surrender in one chart:

Obama: 98% uranium cut, enrichment capped, sanctions in place, 0 American lives lost.

Trump: $25B unfrozen, sanctions lifted, Hormuz tolls for Iran, 15 dead + 543 injured Americans, $2.2 TRILLION cost.

So weak!

"Si no firmáramos este acuerdo con Irán, nos hubiéramos quedado sin petróleo, perdíamos 600 o 700 millones por día, nos quedábamos sin reservas en 4 semanas. Hemos sido muy duro con lo nuclear, está bien que Irán tenga energía nuclear para electricidad".

Trump firmó su rendición con Irán, humillándose públicamente admitiendo que estaban desangrándose en su guerra contra el pueblo iraní, perdiendo hasta 700 millones diarios y quedándose sin reservas de petroleo... incluso han terminado tragando con que Irán tenga energía nuclear y pagándole 300.000 millones por los daños.

Esta es la mayor humillación a EEUU desde Vietnam, la realidad es que esperaban que Irán cayese en 3 dias... ahora van a tener que retirar sus soldados de toda la región en las bases que rodean a Irán y pagar por sus crímenes.

Utah, Senator Lee's state, completed a comprehensive voter examination. Of two million voters, one noncitizen registered to vote and NO noncitizen voted.
The SAVE Act is traditional Republican nonsense and Mike Lee is an embarrassment to Utah.
