Someone in his administration told him he ended 8 wars. And that GDP is awesome. And that he's creating jobs. And that his poll numbers are great. Trump doesn't have a clue what's going on, he only knows what he's told.

Yeah guys, Alex Karp of Palantir is a totally normal guy who just happens to quote several minutes’ worth of a Nazi speech, before doing random tai chi and leaving

Karp is a dangerous, completely unhinged lunatic and it’s made worse by the fact that he’s obviously on coke too
Wait till you read how he was fucking hired

If we learned that the Obama or Biden DOJ was casually monitoring the comings and goings of a reporter for any reason, much less b/c she was the lead reporter on all things Epstein, it would be a Watergate-level scandal but of course since it's Trump, one day (at best) and we move right along 🙃

LA: We're working hard to prepare for the "transit-first" megaevents that will bring literally millions of people from all over the world to navigate our city without cars

Also LA: We're building brand-new sidewalks you can only use one person at a time
Yes, the city needs to actually repave streets. Yes, the city needs to repair sidewalks. Yes, the city needs to install curb ramps.

But the bigger problem is that when LA decides to do anything at all to "help" pedestrians, the result looks like this complete and utter bullshit

The "From the river to the sea!" people are strangely silent. Now why would that be, since they always seem to protest when more pro-Palestinian folks are in power? I wonder who funds those protests? 🤔

The President of the United States appears to be getting regular IV infusions, the public doesn’t know anything about it, & the DC media evidently doesn’t care.

We are months into the mystery of Trump’s hands, the White House is lying, & I’ve seen a grand total of one serious news story about it.
Trump looked pretty rough today -- note that both of his hands are discolored

This is not Trump being stupid, tho Trump is a very stupid person. This is not Trump being played, tho Trump is one of the most easily manipulated people who’s ever lived. No, the truth is scarier. This is Trump working for & siding with Putin. This is Trump, the Russian asset.
Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."
