Trump: "I know more about inflation, I know more about everything than anybody in this room. Anybody anywhere in the world. Well, there's a woman sitting over there. She's a housewife but she's very good. She got a natural instinct for business. She perhaps knows more than I do but I don't think so"

On the margins of the American hegemon, the world continues to be held hostage by the crumbling empire's belligerence and erratic impulses.

The video here certainly offers strong reason to suspect this should be charged as Attempted Murder What will happen instead is that this man, possibly paralyzed, will be sent to an African country for torture while the shooter gets promoted

The Trump administration has repeatedly gone to court this week seeking to revive its sweeping mail ballot restrictions before the midterms. But it still has not directly denied some of the most alarming allegations about how the USPS plans to enforce them. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump administration still hasn’t denied USPS whistleblower’s claims
The administration has had several opportunities to explain or dispute the whistleblower's claims since they became public — and so far has not done so.

From his native Pakistan to the United States, Iqbal Masih became an international symbol of the fight against child labor. In 1994, at just 11, he received the Reebok Human Rights Award. He was murdered the following year.

A whistleblower says USPS kept building Trump’s mail-ballot system even after a judge ordered it stopped. They also told Congress they weren’t proceeding. The system is designed to fail: One bad barcode can reject an entire batch of 10,000 ballots. My write-up in the link in the comments.

Markwayne Mullin says ICE agents could be deployed “if there is a threat to that polling place or we’re serving a warrant.” Let me guess, they’re going to call in threats themselves and go intimidate people. They’re making mail-in voting unreliable and in-person voting dangerous.

I was just a kid in the 70s but I remember there was a lot of concern about "Americans taking over everything". I think thats when cancon and pro-canadian rules put in place culturally. Then we kind of stopped worrying about it for a looong time.

According to NYT, Trump was hidden in a catering cart and wheeled onto a military jet for a secret flight out of Turkey last month. 😂 We’re sorry, but we cannot get past the catering cart part. Imagine being Secret Service and hearing, “The eagle is in the chafing dish.”

BREAKING: Todd Blanche has released what he calls a rescission of the slush fund (left). The last lawsuit he mentions is mine (Gill v DOJ). This doesn't change the fact that the "settlement" setting up the fund is still in effect. On the right, Blanche is LEAVING IN PLACE Trump's tax immunity.

ICE is still refusing to follow through on its pledge to equip its officers with body cameras. Their goal is without body camera footage, accountability becomes much harder. If you witness an interaction, remember to keep your camera rolling and document what you can safely.

Todd Blanche admitted under oath that he sees himself as Donald Trump’s personal lawyer. Now he’s violating a court order to release the full Epstein Files, in which his client Trump’s name appears—not a typo—over a million times. And Trump can keep him as Acting AG into 2029.
