Putin loves watching the US in chaos and isolated.

It's not supposed to be normal for the president of the United States to say out loud that they're going to execute the next iranian leader. Trump wasn't supposed to kill the previous leader, or blow up a school filled with children. Trump wasn't supposed to kidnap the president of Venezuela and his wife.

There is no lever available for the people to pull to stop this madness? We just watch?

If this were a democracy, congress would slam the brakes on Trump. They would have been calling for his impeachment when he kidnapped Maduro. This isn't a democracy. It's a reality TV version. It's a caricature of a democracy.

The number of people killed in five days of US-Israeli attacks against Iran has topped 1,000, state media says.

Trump is a murderer, a rapist, a pedophile and a thief.

What is wrong with this country? Whatever it is, it's only getting worse - again.

What the US government is doing is what the US government is doing. The people in the US are not in control of the federal government. Two corrupt political parties run the federal government, and the result is death and destruction. There's no path to our salvation running through the Democratic or Republican parties. People can continue to pretend that this is a democracy and that some "normal" process will unfold that will make all of this make sense.

It's not going to happen.

For those of you outside of the US, just know that we are not following Trump. He is not leading us. We are not in control of the government ... it is a rogue government unhindered by laws and democratic processes.

For people in the US, the longer we wait ... the harder this problem is to solve. Hoping some magic happens after the November election is only going to lead to more tears.

We need to act now.

Shut. It. All. Down.

People need to realize how radical Trump's tariff policies are to the oligarchy who have been banging the war drum of globalization and "free" "markets" for decades and decades.

So Roberts slapping Trump over the tariffs was expected. It would have been shocking if the court had ruled against the oligarchy.

There are limits to what Trump can do ... he can kill moms and dads and sons and kidnap presidents and launch illegal wars ... but disrupting trade at this level can not stand.

But waging illegal wars, kidnapping presidents of other countries, mass murdering people in boats Trump and Drunk Pete think are drug smugglers (fwiw: death isn't the obvious sentence for drug smuggling, particularly not for people who weren't arrested or put on trial). But tariffs ... that's too much power.

Trump: I want fewer people to vote in the next elections.

Dems: You can't want that.

Trump: Well, I do. I am going to make it happen.

Dems: You can't do that.

Trump: I'm going to do it.

Dems: But you can't do that.

Trump: I'm the president. I have absolute immunity.

Dems: We don't like it.

There you go ...

Remember when they tried that No Labels thing in the US.

"We don't need labels. We're all members of the same neo-liberal death cult."

I'll never forget the babies Biden killed with Netanyahu. I won't forget that when heartless dems get mad at me for not voting for their horrid candidates.

I get it ... for people who want to make a career out of politics .., that they have to pick one of the two political parties. My career is not politics. I'm just a human being.

I sometimes wonder what the woman is doing who I used to be married to 20 years ago. Someone who was my life for 10 years and now they're just someone I used to know.

Someone should write song about that.

🎵 Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody🎶

Sometimes people follow me and I'm like, "Narc."

Don't worry. You just have to vote really, really hard for Democrats. That will do it.

President Donald Trump promised Friday that he will make it harder to vote in the upcoming midterm elections.

"The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections," Trump falsely posted on his Truth Social page. "This was not what our Founders desired."

Trump claims to have "searched the depths" of legal arguments on the subject.

"There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!" Trump threatened.

A new GOP proposal would impose strict voter ID requirements. Trump, who has previously cast his vote through mail-in voting, said he wants to severely limit who can vote by mail.

"Also, the People of our Country are insisting on Citizenship, and No Mail-In Ballots, with exceptions for Military, Disability, Illness, or Travel," Trump said. "Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

I prefer the olympic sports where it's racing versus judging. If you are the fastest, you win.

It's interesting that Trump has just made it so the president can wage war completely on his own as a negotiating tactic. The president can murder anyone and kidnap presidents and tariff anyone who doesn't pay up.

A year.

let's go all the way back to 1995 for some poetry. https://www.pifmagazine.com/1995/10/numb/

Over the next few months, the fashes in the US will ramp up their killing until they reach an industrial scale. They're building out the concentration camp infrastructure after getting all of money in that Big Beautiful Bill dems couldn't figure out how to stop. Administrative detentions. Altercations like we've already seen turn deadly will happen more frequently. More people will disappear. People have got to snap out of this trance the democratic party has put people in. We need to take actions right now. We need to send a clear message to politicians that their careers are over if they don't reject all forms of fascism. TODAY. People can not be like, "Well killing Palestinians is fine because they're over there, but they can't kill us." Zero tolerance or you're out.
