The most powerful nation-state in the world is led by an 80-year-old toddler who requires constant self-soothing to ignore the reality of his 33% approval rating - and all the people around him & in his cult act like this is fine, like he's not a lunatic living in a bubble of his own delusions.

I'm thinking trump's people want everyone to imagine he *is* having an affair with harp so they don't see what's really going on - she's trump's emotional support nursemaid, ensuring he can wallow in his sundowning delusions that he has created a Golden Age and is not incredibly unpopular.

The bare fact that blanche met with Maxwell while her appeal was still pending, and after the prosecutor in her case had been fired, and then proclaimed trump absolved, is a flagrantly corrupt act that by itself should sink his nomination for anyone who cares about a legitimate justice system.

A crucial point: this could be made to happen in a way that doesn't depend on or facilitate advancing the interest of private property profiteering -- as almost always, the problem is plutocracy and the answer is democracy.

To the extent that politics in the US and Democratic Party can be said to be democracy-based, as opposed to exercises in plutocracy-based population management, you need people who GET VOTES, not people you think can get the votes you think they need.

“The epicenter of cartel violence is not Mexico, it’s the U.S. The cartels are fueled by the U.S.’s demand for drugs and armed with U.S. weapons, and thanks to the U.S., they are able to orchestrate enormous bloodshed and chaos throughout Latin America.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

When trump says countries and companies "receiv[ed] Billions and Billions of Dollars that they should not have been able to receive," he's saying Americans should not have had the freedom to buy things from those countries and companies, right? What else could that mean?

Please pay some attention to Syria. In the Northeast, DAANES is creating a model of democracy governance that empowers local communities & women in particular. They are imperiled by the new govt forces in Damascus - an al-Qada spinoff group backed by Turkey. Support DAANES & democracy in Syria!

When capitalism works as intended, money makes money at a macro scale - there is system-level profit/"growth." But when money makes money, the top few percent who own almost all the money *make* almost all the money that money makes. So when capitalism 'works,' wealth concentrates into plutocracy.

Whatever else he did, it is indisputable that Kirk used his platform to sow hate & bigotry in America's public culture. He also tried to end American democracy & steal the 2020 election from the 81 million American citizens who voted against trump &/or for Biden.

That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.

Every policy trump and the republicans advance is based on LIES that the media just lets flow - from the "Russia hoax" (lie) to "migrant crime" (lie) to tariff emergency (lie) to the crime emergency in DC (lie). If the media can't call these lies, is there any hope for a constitutional republic?

The most reasonable explanation for trump's total capitulation to putin (& the photo where he looks like he's been scolded & won't meet putin's eyes) seems to be that putin showed him kompromat or evidence Russia helped him in past elections & told him it's time for payback.

The Democrats should create a "shadow Justice Department" that works on gathering facts and analyzing which charges can be applied to the actions of particular people. Create a public database of people and potential charges with links to relevant facts and applicable law.

Remember when trump said his uncle taught the Unabomber at MIT? That never happened. Epstein told friends he was taught by the Unabomber at UCLA. I don't know if that happened, but it seems like trump's memory of epstein's story leaked into his sundowning brain when he was talking about his uncle.

Why don't they clear trump right now by releasing every page that mentions trump? Why did trump lie & say bondi didn't tell him he was in there? Why don't Republican elites care about the epstein files anymore? What are they covering up? It's hard not to think it's pretty bad, right?

trump/bondi could release the leatherbound 50th birthday book RIGHT NOW. It's presumably stored somewhere in a plastic bag with an evidence number, along with other physical evidence seized from epstein's properties. trump/bondi can prove there's no trump letter in the book any time they want.
