Imagine a US president saying "things happen" whilst knowing that a US citizen was murdered in the most brutal and abhorrent fashion by a foreign state.
It's beyond comprehension.

One would think that Cristiano Ronaldo, coming from such a humble background, would be more aware of the company he associates with.
He doesn't need the money.

Has Trump released his tax returns yet?

Trump said "We have nothing to hide". (now that the files are full of black marked redactions).
He's probably in them so often that it will be barely possible to read anything in them - thick black lines everywhere.

Why has no media correspondent asked Lying Leavitt why Trumps ear shows no sign of a gun shot wound?

Imagine if all those Instagramers and TikTok warriors put as much time into formal education or starting a business as they do into their social media effort.
We'd have far more people producing something useful for the world.
Influencer wannabies.
I know, I know, I'm posting on social media...🤦♂️

A genuine Q.
Wealthy white homeowners use immigrants to clean their homes, do their gardens and clean their pools.
What do they do now? Do they have dirty houses, pools and overgrown gardens?
Or do ICE just not visit their locations because that might upset the services provided by immigrants.

Remember, it's because Trump is in the Epstein files.

Trump says "election results not good for Republicans" as if the results have absolutely nothing to do with his Regime.
He will start speaking in the 'third person' now and blame the GOP as a party for a 'collective' failure.
The GOP "lost by a lot"!!

A real dilemma now for the Trump Regime. Threats haven't worked.
They can't buy all the voters coz that wud mean giving money away. They love money too much.
Maybe they'll have to cancel any future elections.
Maybe use full force against the people.
Yep, it's not easy being a Dictatorship.

When I see the pictures of Trumps soirée at Mar A Lago and think of the cuts to food stamps.
I recall the French had a similar situation in 1789.
I also recall how the French people dealt with it.
And they had a monarchy not a wannabe dictator.

US China Talks.
I would love to read the Chinese delegation notes (the private ones) to understand how they viewed the meeting and its outcomes.
Trump conducts diplomacy on social media (without much thought).
I suspect the Chinese interpretation differs significantly, and is more accurate.

US China negotiations.
It's clear when one reads the detail that China has the US over the barrel. Although US firms lead the way in use of modern tech, they are limited in their ability as a result of China's moves on rear earths.
It would appear that China has strategically played the US well.

I'm finishing A tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens and it is amazing how he describes mid 18th century France and the power of the 'Noblemen' v the 'Common' peasants.
It reminds me of the direction of 21st century USA. The super rich have become the 'Noblemen'.
Total power.
Above the Law.
