Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
You guys see where this is going? Right?

“.. Memphis, after all, has long been one of the most dangerous cities in the country, with a murder rate about twice as high as the nation’s capital ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
Same advice for Canada, Germany, UK, and any other country where this is cropping up. Crush it now, before you’re like we are in the US.
Don't assume that because they're idiots they're not a real threat. Don't assume that because you laugh at them they are a joke. Don't assume that because they are small they can't take control. Take a lesson from here, stop them now, utterly, and conclusively. -From Threads
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
It just didn't have to be this way windsorstar.com/news/local-n...
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the “pathological irony of crisis”: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
Now this fine judge deserves a prize.
If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
So the photos we get of the “golf outing” today is a pale and feeble looking one of him getting to a car at the WH and this one of him returning. Nothing from the course.
If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀

"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."

Let me do it through YouTube in the UK.
Thank you!! Yes it seems like the 501(c)(3) that YouTube uses as their donation medium does restrict who is able to donate easily, but I appreciate you guys outside of the convenient donations for taking the time to look it up and donate regardless!
I want reporters to start asking him if he’s alive… is he a Trump bot… if not prove it… gaslight the hell out of him like he does us.
I just hope we live to see the “Death of Stalin”-style movie about it
Fatality.
I guess he changed hats and won’t go anywhere near the press for 5 days for no particular reason. Also can’t get any video of him actually playing golf from the usual sources.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."

There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
(Hence why any Londoners complaining about their public transport get jumped on on UK social media)
Though where I grew up in rural Hampshire there are just no Sunday buses at all - likely the case in most UK towns & villages. Whilst when I lived nearer to Bham city centre there were a lot more buses - pre smartphone didn't really need a timetable Mon-Sat til late - though still less on Sunday.
Sunday buses are once an hour from my nearest bus stop in the Black Country near Birmingham, England. Twice an hour from another bus stop a little bit more of a walk to be fair.
There’s nothing like seeing two subway trains leave the station, looking at the “next train” signs, and seeing “2 minutes” and “3 minutes”. Oh, and this was 11am on a Sunday. Frequency is freedom.
The problem with Reconstruction was that the Slave Power was mostly left intact. Property in land remained concentrated.
Bouie ends the “real or a show?” debate by explaining that it’s both at once. It’s real, a show, and their vision for the future, one that isn’t in place though possibly could be if it keeps going. Don’t fall for the show and take the reality seriously, resisting the vision. All simultaneously.
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
Yeah, man, totalitarianism is when people listen to experts. Good talk, always a pleasure to hear from you.

I sometimes ask myself what exactly it means to be an “urbanist”. Near the top has to be making international comparisons and trying to understand which cities do different things the best. Contrasted with the “my city is special” or “we’ve always done it like that” parochialism people have.

Surprised Vance hasn't even tried tbh. I'm sure he wants a chance at being dictator himself.
So he isn’t dead, just insane. Any other President who posted that would have been relieved of his duties immediately.

People are talking about this story that was just published by the AP within the last day or so. What I find most interesting about it is that I wrote about it a month ago covering all the same details found in the AP. Didn't even get a mention. Oof. open.substack.com/pub/extremea...
Labour Party pandering to the far right is repugnant. "Purchase of snowmobiles, timeshares and furs prohibited, despite asylum seekers receiving only £9.95 a week." www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Increased instances of this is partly a result of Farage and divisive media rhetoric. Division benefits their narrative. The irony is the nurse has contributed far more to society through her work than these two ever will.
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction
It’s human trafficking.
The brutal truth is that Ashli Babbitt thought the Capitol Police wouldn't shoot a white woman. Because everything in her life experience, up to that point, taught her that she was exempt from lethal force by law enforcement. That turned out to be an inaccurate assessment.
All the damn Trump people know, deep down, that Ashli Babbitt thought the Capitol Police wouldn't shoot her despite repeated warnings. Guess what? She was very wrong in that assumption.
Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own. She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.
Iran bombed it - or a similar target in Tel Aviv - during the Twelve Day War I think?
Ex-Israeli minister Danny Ayalon: "This is where Hamas is." Me: "Danny, where is the Israeli military headquarters?" Ayalon: "Tel Aviv." Me: "It's in the heart of Tel Aviv. So can a Palestinian group blow up all of Tel Aviv to get to [it]"? Ayalon: "No." Full interview: zeteo.com/p/danny-ayal...
Trump lied to Ashli Babbitt & the MAGA mob & sent them to stop our votes from being certified on Jan 6th. Trump killed her, right? Her death is completely his fault.
If the Democratic Party intends to win this fight, it must stop functioning solely as a party & instead step into its moment in history: to lead a pro-democracy movement capable of confronting this authoritarian threat. https://www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stand-up-america-the-time-for-a-pro?r=2lckc
Earlier this week, a Utah District Court struck down a gerrymandered map, giving power back to the people. The decision in Utah affirmed what we already knew to be true: we must hold leaders accountable when they violate the will of the people and try to cement power through partisan gerrymandering.
I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.
While Twitter was once the platform of choice for a majority of science communicators, those same people have since abandoned it in droves. And of the alternatives available, Bluesky seems to be their new platform of choice.
As we all know, the United States is the only country on the planet where these drugs exist. It definitely has to be the drugs that we alone use. Can’t be something else.

The despot is a senile TV addict, so all the work is left to 25 year old 4chan shitposters who think they get their 1000 year reich if they make the women who wouldn’t date them in college cry.
it's so bizarre to me how the administration's understanding of what makes authoritarianism is not, you know, patronage and regime consolidation, but such hamfisted propaganda it wouldn't get past a hollywood copyeditor. like, they genuinely think the poster is how they win, not consolidation.
Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?
RFK Jr is driving this country towards an almost certain public health disaster. If Democrats can’t stop it, at the very least they can get it on the record now that they wanted him gone and the GOP wanted him kept in. Underline how they own the disasters to come. It’s Politics 101.
Trump’s "state capitalism" has nothing whatever to do with public ownership, socialism, helping the working class, or improving national security. There is no real industrial policy. It’s all about centralizing ever more control over America in the Oval Office.

JD Vance on Trump sending troops into cities: "The president is not going out there forcing this on anybody." (Tell that to Los Angeles ... )
At least on Paramount+ UK, the credits didn't go all small straight away as usual, in retrospect a clue about that scene.
Make no mistake — RFK Jr. and Trump’s endless attacks on the CDC, public health experts, and established science threaten lives and undermine our global research leadership. Vaccines save lives. We will never stop speaking up to protect that indisputable scientific consensus.

It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.

Look how long Kissinger lived.
I'm wondering: in 2028, when trump tries to put himself on the ballot for a third term, whether states are prepared to keep him off the ballot and what the Supreme Court will do. I think it's pretty clear cut, but I thought that about immunity, Dobbs, and section 3 of the 14th Amendment, too.
