Jack Smith has to be so frustrated and angry that he had all the evidence to try and convict Trump, but circumstances created by others prevented it from happening. I know it would be a hard pill for anyone to swallow. By all accounts, Trump should be in a prison cell instead of our White House.

In a non-autocratic country, we could express hope that someone kills off our leader, and people realize it is sentiment, not action. In this country, no longer. It produces retribution. I guess I must wish good luck to the draft dodging orange faced lying pedophile Mr. tiny hands.

"Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us”

Meaning: "Khaubayn" means debts, errors, or missed targets - not sins as guilt but as misalignment. Forgiveness is recalibration of energy flow. It operates as a law of resonance: what we release, releases us.

"Give us this day our daily bread"

Aramaic: "Havlan lachma d'sunganan yaomana"

Meaning: Not just physical food, but spiritual nourishment. "Lachma" means bread, understanding, wisdom, or vitality. It's a call to receive daily divine energy and life force - the "inner manna" that feeds the spirit.

Venezuela is the major test right now, the place where Rubio's longstanding interests are most in play and where the administration's just-war arguments are thinnest.

The right-wing U.S. administration continues to accommodate its ties to Moscow instead of providing Ukraine with everything needed to end the war.
This hesitation prolongs the conflict and undermines Western credibility.

“At a moment when income inequality, the looming threat of A.I. and the rise of authoritarianism seem to be straining American societal cohesion, a revolt against self-dealing elites may be the only cause compelling enough to bring us together.”

Spanky's speech

I turned him on for 4 minutes and all I saw & heard & felt was a pissed off old man screaming into a microphone demanding I eat a plate of food that's gone bad while he keeps hitting me over the head with a 2 by 4 and telling me this is the best l've ever had it in life.

What more is there to say about the character of this petty, hollow, squalid, overstuffed man? — sometimes the point bears stressing: We are led by the most loathsome human being ever to occupy the White House.

.@pabloreports.bsky.social : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela?

AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

Trump’s mind-set — the logic underpinning his priorities, his morality, his decision making — is like opening up a garbage pail left out for days during a summer heat wave.

The dominant theme is governing by narcissism: being persuaded with money, purchasing his crypto, & obsequious flattery.
