@randahl Ok from time to time I read arguments from left side of #USA and people stop. Just stop. He's not demented. He know what's he's doing. He is a perfect #capitalist who will fuck up any other nation so USA can grow and abuse other countries.

Same with the #ICE guy shooting this woman. She almost run over him and because USA is such a fucked up country he #shoot her in the face. Just like any other policeman would do. So the problem is not only with ICE but with gun control in USA.

@randahl #USA is a perfect machine running on abused majority of workers who can't afford shit. All their life is based on generating #profit for corporations that will send them to war so minority of rich people can get even more money.

#Trump is perfect #president for such country. I know it's scary but it is true. He will do whatever he wants and he is not demented. His values are different than yours. He thinks in terms of money and USA as a country. Nothing else matters.

“We are gonna be meeting in the very near future”

Trump thinks the plan to help convicted felon Jair Bolsonaro escape from Brazil worked, and appears to tell the press that Bolsonaro is coming to the US to meet Trump.

The press then informs him that Bolsonaro was caught trying to escape, to which Trump replies, “Is that what happened? It’s too bad.”

That doesn't seem odd to me at all. That's a #MAGA #President #Trump doing the crimes that MAGA expects in order to keep MAGA happy. Everything in #America is quite MAGAishly corrupt and the #RepublicanParty just loves them some MAGA corruption.

Predictable like clockwork, Trump accuses the newly released Epstein e-mails of being a hoax.

How does that even work?

These e-mails came from the Epstein Estate. They were stored on and timestamped by a Gmail server. They were reviewed by the FBI and shared with Republicans on The House Oversight Committee, so how could Democrats fake that?

Is he saying Democrats took a time machine back to 2011 to get Jeffrey Epstein to write that Trump spent hours with one of the rape victims?

Come on.

I’m sorry I’m being so sweary lately but we as a people shouldn’t be massacring people in boats, holding the coats of genocidists, kidnapping people and sending them to countries they have no connection with, running concentration camps for kids, sending masked arm men to beat citizens in the streets, taxing working people trillions of dollars and giving tax breaks to billionaires, denying people prescribed medicine on religious grounds, or countenancing this giant protection racket. Fuck that.

Trump and Marco Rubio are preparing to wage economic war on #Nicaragua with 100% tariffs. Nicaragua is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. The people of Nicaragua are deeply religious Christians. This will hurt them the most.
