It’s time for the world to Boycott, Divest and Sanction the U.S
Avoid the Olympics, World Cup and other sporting events. There’s no reason to celebrate the 250 birthday of this fallen nation

What JD Vance really means by this is that Maduro is bound by US laws but Trump is not.

Trump, back in power, is bent on turning justice into his personal weapon. He pushes the DOJ to hunt Jack Smith and his “enemies,” as if ruling were just revenge. The judicial chapter may be closed, but the political war only sneers on.

So in 2026, the USPS will no longer process mail as it comes in. It will process mail when they feel like it. So they can deliver a letter or a package a month later. The Convicted FElon is doing this to prevent mail-in voting without outlawing it. He doesn't want the Democrats to win the Midterms.

Increasingly it appears that Trump was a pimp.
WOW! New reporting by WSJ today that Trump sent his spa workers (young woman) from Mar-A-Lago to Jeffrey Epstein's despite knowing he was "sexually suggestive and exposing himself." In other words Trump committed SEX TRAFFICKING.

Exclusive | The Incident That Prompted Trump to Ban Epstein From Mar-a-Lago’s Spa
Mar-a-Lago sent an 18-year-old spa worker on a house call to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. She complained to her bosses that Epstein pressured her for sex.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas.

Last week Donald Trump was polling at 31%. Mocking Rob Reiner’s passing is going to send him into the 20’s, and his grip on power will be broken. All of a sudden everyone will admit they’ve always hated him.

The lawless lying lunatic you call president and his Republican cult of cons are morally bankrupt. Totally void of decency integrity and morality. These lowlife losers are the cause of the moral decay in America.

“Corporations that have paid to help him demolish the East Wing … Law firms that capitulated are now doing work for the Donald Trump Commerce Department… Bezos, who stood shoulder to shoulder with Donald Trump… No one has said anything about the character of this person today.”

For better or worse, public figures are judged when they die — their character, contributions, beliefs. It's undeniable that millions have mourned Rob Reiner's tragic death, celebrating his talent and contributions. I suspect when a certain public figure kicks the bucket, sentiments wont be the same

DOES THE UNITED STATES PAY FARMERS NOT TO GROW THINGS?

Yes.

Now they will get a bailout from the American taxpayer?

Bailing them out when they grow things and baling them out when they dont is VERY REPUBLICAN (AKA stupid).
THEY CALL THEMSELVES CONSERVATIVES?

I think they are just CONS.

Like Trump does what he is told. They should sue.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.
