Where to begin? I can’t be the only one to see the subterranean salivation in trump’s attempted plans to take over the coastline of Israel, develop it to benefit himself/family and license a golf course, hotels, and probably some casinos.

This is why I’m still feeling disgusted with Progressive Dems who refused to vote because they dove right into the Russian Troll Pro Pal misinformation Pool. 3 months or so BEFORE the H Group attacked Israel, a post-invasion analysis showed that Russian/Chinese (Troll/Bot farms) companies created thousands of fake accounts (In English) for the specific purpose of pushing Propaganda tailored to enrage younger Progressives (under 40) enough to detach them away from Moderate Dems, and eased them towards embracing Trump’s rhetoric.

Those who didn’t vote FOR Trump, stayed home and allowed Trump to win. It worked.

As a political sci major, I studied Political Propaganda.

It’s a virtual nuclear weapon to Russians and we need to be talking about this often.

We need a discussion on that now,

💯🎯 and the shocking amount of support Trump has within Israel is something I will never ever ever ever understand.

The conservative Israelis love American tax dollars to bankroll their own genocide of the Palestinians

I thought about staying 🤐… but I have to at least put forth that your perception as expressed here is lacking an appreciation for the nuance and complication of this situation.

The entire length of the Gaza Strip is coastline. He wants to turn it into Miami.

Bonnie  Reeves's avatar

Who is going to visit his hotel there---- A dumb idea.

JODY NEWMAN's avatar

Look up pictures of Eilat, find pictures of what the Gaza Strip looked like when Israel relinquished it. You might* quickly understand how valuable this property will be/is 😉

Notice he's just going after the immigrants in democratic states

If I was a duck's avatar

Weren't a whole bunch of red state governors begging him not to go after the migrants in their states?

What happened to Dr. Phil? Early onset dementia? And as one Brit said Trump is the Picasso of Pettiness.

E.C.'s avatar

Dr. Phil is a has-been. This is an attempt at last-gasp fame. What he's really doing is further damage to his already questionable reputation.

He has always been a phony. Too old to continue his shit show

Why don’t these old guys retire and enjoy their fortunes?

Addicted to the limelight and the power it brings -- even if momentary.

Musk needs to listen to what Jona Laks says. The German attitude towards Nazis and neo Nazis isn't about guilt; it's about learning from the past so it doesn't happen again. (I was going to say he should TALK to Laks, but I fear for Laks in that scenario: she'd be blasted from her chair).

Musk is echoing the trope of so many MAGATS that teaching about the warts in US history, particularly slavery but also manifest destiny and the treatment of indigenous people, will somehow make white students "feel guilty about themselves."

No guys. We remember to prevent.

Excellent breakdown of things we need to know and why. More like this will keep us sane and focused; imperative these days and for at least the next 645...

Thanks

Note 4: So. What else is new. I now have come to believe that they are just part of the show now, making AS IF they're terribly opposed but doing nothing, nothing, and even more nothing.

.

I thought they'd take the time between the election and now to have plans in place to neuter the Nazis, but, no. So. Fuck the useless pricks.

Poor AOC, pretty much left swinging in the breeze by her party...

OMG!!! It's just too damn much...gotta laugh to keep from crying!!

Note 6: KC is too Trumpy. Philly is too Fettery.

Note 9: Getting the Palestinians out of Gaza to make room for real estate developers was always the plan. Wiping out the Palestinians was always a bonus in the eyes of Netanyahu.

Note 10: The Democrats don't need bartenders, they need more AOCs. A LOT more. Maybe, if we need a bartender, perhaps Hegseth would be available?

Note 17: Like I said before, it's all just for show. We (everyone who's not a millionaire) are owned and fucked.

Note 20: Dr. Phil shouldn't have to spend the day with painful and crippling diarrhea. It should be a month. At LEAST.

Trump broke a law in firing the IGs? There's still "law"? I'll be damned. Whaddaya know. Naaaah.

Who wants a drunk bartender?

WTF is wrong with Democrats?!?!? I mean really, they lose an election which I personally think Leon had a hand in it but that’s neither here nor there. Get over it!!! Stop Trump from doing all this insane shit and stop voting UNQUALIFIED PEOPLE INTO HIS ADMINISTRATION!!! Holy shit! AOC and Jasmine Crockett are the only 2 making noise. I heard that as well that Sen. Whitehouse might vote for the brain worm because they grew up together. He better fucking not. Let’s all fucking swamp his offices with calls that if that motherfucker votes for that insanity, he might as well go fuck himself because we’ll run primaries against that asshole. These guys are fucking pussies. Enough of this shit.

The Democratic party is not getting another dollar from me unless they get off the dime and start taking action against the right--and I mean more effective action than writing letters to people who can't read.

I love these daily updates because it gives me a chance chuckle a bit, in lieu of the rest of the day, which is just so depressing.

Ellen's avatar

Thank you. We should ALL be making fun of the bullies, it's their only weakness, being embarrassed. Keep up the good work!!

Harriet Buchanan's avatar

You're absolutely right! One of Trump's favorite lines during his campaign was, "The world is laughing at us!", not because it was true, but because he couldn't think of a worse insult. He would so fear being laughed at himself!

During Trump's debate with Kamala, he lost it completely when he said, "They're eating the pets." and it elicited such laughs from her. No wonder he wasn't allowed to face her again.

Chiefs are not Trumpy. Patrick, Travis, and Taylor are about as far from MAWA as you can get. Well, at least Travis and Taylor. I just can’t see Felix A-U, Hunt, Chris Jones, Pacheco, Reid, Juju….being part of the Make America White Again cult. Butker can pound rocks with his patriarchal B.S. and I wish an early retirement and karma on that azz but can’t paint the whole team with his conservative religious bigotry.

SophieM's avatar

Kansas and Missouri voted for trump. Chiefs fans have always been racist with their stupid tomahawk crap, etc. trump is currently crowing about the Chiefs "win." Additionally, mahomes never did publicly disagree with his wife's support of trump. Fuck the Chiefs and their billionaire owner, hopefully, they will LOSE to the Eagles.

As someone who was a REAL therapist for 40 years I am appalled by what Dr. Oz is doing. If he sitll has license it would be revoked.

My daughter moved to Culebra (a small island off the coast of Puerto Rico) to escape all things trump. She’s been living there for over 3 years. She woke up to homeland security there this morning, checking everyone for id. If you don’t have it they want your birth certificate. LOOK IT UP! Oh and thanks maga

Are you serious? Wow! My husbands family all lives near San Juan (ironically, his brother works for FEMA). It's shocking how many people believe Puerto Ricans aren't American citizens!
