This info makes me truly sick. The U.S. has become the thug of the world. Who will ever trust us again?

Just looking at the photo itself, Trump has a dumb thumbs up and a stupid smile. Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi is making a fist. I’m not a writer, so I can’t even come up with any words to describe how disturbing this image feels to me.

Happy 250th Birthday USA, you are now officially a rogue state. I can barely stand to read your summaries anymore Mary, but keep them coming. You, Shanley and HCR are documenting the demise of the nation in real time. Future historians will thank you.

Everything is being turned into a Trump organization transaction. That is the sole purpose of a man who is not content to ruin the US but the entire world. Trump is not a wannabe king. He's a despot in every rotten sense of the word.

About the Strait, the quote “I want to be reimbursed” says all you need to know about the wannabe king.

The Trump coup continues, apparently extending beyond despotic rule of the U.S. to seeking to rule the world and plunder its assets by force, threats and bribery.

Tomorrow night Trump and the coup masters will return to 2020 election denial and Big Lies to set the stage for 2026 midterm election interference and denial of unfavorable results.

That major media is giving Trump a platform for this Hitlerian propaganda absurdity tells us how far we’ve gone towards an unrecognizable country that no longer pretends to honor the rule of law much less truth.

Same here , Joy. That’s what their vote got us,not what was promised, nor most expected, and will get far worse. I don’t hate the fooled nor the complicit, as most of them will get bit eventually too.

Trust is gone for generations , and more innocents will continue to suffer. Sorry.

For those of you who can , remove yourself best possible from dependency of systems , create your own entertainment, live simply as possible,teach others lovingly -whoever else -how…and why. Corporate will absorb all they can out of anyone, and that was the feudal plan.
