Spent 12 years living and working in the Persian Gulf area before retiring back home in 2016. And wondered why the hell I came back to a country gone insane. Realizing my mistake 10 years later;I’m now an expat again & grateful to be out.

WOW... he is buying diesel from Iran's ally... and the enemy of all of our allies - supposedly ours too . Nothing says DESPERATE like tRump in a bind turning to his idol for help.

HEY Dems - a lesson from the natural world... IF you don't change (evolve) with the times, you go EXTINCT! simple as that.

That livestream video will ONLY MAKE the shooter a hero martyred and provide the best recruiting video for terrorists ever. Probably exactly what he hopes ... This illustrates how little Hegseth and tRump understand about the folks they consider to be enemies...

The real "fraud" will begin after the election when tRump orders federal forces to take over the voting processing to ensure the results he wants.

Not sure which brand of idiots you refer to... but public executions and chopping criminals appendages off never prevented crime, and sure as hell won't now. We will only create a nation of bloodthirsty ghouls ...

Just remember when Republicans start justifying the live streaming of this execution, THEY were the ones screaming like mashed cats about the video of Charlie Kirks assassination being awful. America's not going to hell, we are firmly there!

Exactly what a "3rd world -, sh*thole country" does... public executions; to instill fear into the masses and appeal to the WORST in our citizenry.

Because the conference - RIGHTLY - says the US is a purveyor of disinformation. Damn the TRUTH hurts little donnie's ego... The EU, Canada & Lithuania should double down on support & broadcast the results of the conference not kowtow to toddler tangerine

I swear the US is hell bent to remain permanently IGNORANT This is another disincentive to come to the US to study and build a life. There are plenty of other english speaking countries - Canad, UK, Australia, New Zealand, etc - that can utilize their skills & ideas. we screw ourselves over, again

"tRump says" - never in the history of the US was there as clear, definite and accurate predictor that a falsehood would follow.

of course she is. she is probably the most visible rat deserting the tRumptanic before the midterms iceberg

It "rattles Capital Hill" ONLY because the idiots on the Hill actually believe he will do so. tRump will NEVER follow through on a promise.

I don't understand WHY there is need for an czar to overlook an industry you won't regulate...

The best way to approach tRump's statements is to realize that those statements are likely (99.9% probability) false &intentionally so. Best you just ignore what the tangerine toddle babbles on a daily basis.

Mikal @mikalt.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
And you'll get the same results as 2 Impeachments and multiple felony prosecutions ... nothing! We have no branch of gov't willing to so much as muss his hair. Wish it weren't so!

Ask the native Americans, we violated every treaty made ...

In my opinion SS is a contract, one made mandatory by the federal gov't. In short, we the people agreed to pay the US gov every month and in return the US gov agreed pay us at a later date for the rest of our lives. I only ask that the US gov lives up to the terms of that contract, nothing less.

IF Obama had taken a real stand in 2014 their would be no Ukraine- Russia conflict. I personally wondered back in 1996 why the heck the Ukranians agreed to turn over their nukes in the first place, If they had not, Putin would never have invaded.

tRump is flailing around like some furious blinded bull trying to distract the US from all the "WINNING". Sadly the media is in colusion. IF tRump farts, the media spend days discuss the volume of the fart and the quality of the smell. They hang upon his every act. THAT is tRump's spuperpower

HEY! What a great place to send tRump (and family) in retirement... THEY'LL fit right in!

Mikal @mikalt.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I must be the 20 million & 1st then... cause ain't no check in my mail. The fact that so many of my fellow senior citizens still support & trust tRump is very good measure of the volume of dementia in our age group.

Yes but when Russia attacked the uS stood by wringing our hand muttering "oh, my" INSTEAD of forcefully AND vociferously standing up to Russia

Exactly WHY no country should EVER take promise made by The United States, no matter what party is in power, as binding... WE have a long history of reneging on our commitments and "deals" , tRump has just done so openly and aggressively with fanatic zeal

Does EU leadership actually believe this will buy one gram of goodwill from the tangerine toddler? His history indicates not a chance in hell. He'll crow about his victory turn around and start the bully tactics again...

i realized years ago that Jennings is quite happy to be the token"conservative", getting knocked down on CNN - it's all about $$ and a job. I wonder though if he actually did more than operate as a punching bag spewing tRump talking points, that he might actually have some valid points of his own

Expressing remorse would be admitting to a mistake... these congressional butt chunks like their cherished leader have no ability to ever do that...

The BIGGER problem is that the American electorate never has and in my opinion, never will vote them out. In my younger decades I believed in a well informed, rational electorate. Now, i see to my chagrin that we are neither rational nor (intentionally - thanks social media) informed at all.

NO surprise here - after Jan 6 ,2021 It should have been obvious to anyone with 1/10th of a brain cell that given another chance his orange obtuseness would try again to seize absolute power. AND yep, he is succeeding...

i would buy your argument to certain extent, however the abuses of elderly in care homes are well documented & the best way to maintain control with a minimum of staff is the use of drugs. SO I still assert it is PROFIT that drives the quality of care and nothing else.

Nope! they just realized they are IN hell

tRump could by executive order pause the US federal taxes... dropping reg gas by $0.20 per gallon AND Diesel by $0.25 per gallon. BUT he really doesn't give a F

Actually it was AI trying emulate its creators by fawning over tRump....

When the medical system is entirely PROFIT motivated, it is expected that care providing companies will do ANYTHING to "maximize profits" INCLUDING sedation of patients to avoid having enough staff to provide quality care. Americans health is always at the mercy of what's profitable...

OMG -it's Dumber & Dumbest , reunited for another season of mind- numbing stupidity. Shoot, they should both share a "tRumpie" - The Golden Dunce Medal - just for this stunt ... But the season is still early & competition among the MAGA, fierce!

I thought that "on day 1" the tangerine toddler was going to have everything fixed.

Mikal @mikalt.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
IF... and a YUGE IF, this country survives the tangerine toddler years, those years will be looked back upon by future generations as 'the age of IGNORANCE" and those generations will marvel at how willingly folks of today embraced, celebrated and furthered the stupidiy...

More accurate picture would be them all lined up, lips puckered in facing the tangerine toddlers bare butt with total devotion apparent on their faces...

You are honestly expecting people to be consistent in thoughts and deeds? I didn't expect God to be that naive.

Two problems: tangerine toddler President wants the world covered not just DC... Second - and scariest- he appears to actually fanatically believe everything he says... which means despite his what is close advisors/supporters say, he is not joking or putting on some sort of act.

STOP using HIS NAME! That is one small step to strike back AND don’t show any clips OR photos of him either. Just tell the story. THAT will make him invite you back quicker than whinging… HE requires immediate attention just like a carbuncle on the bum. The guy is a petulant tantrum throwing toddler
