MAGA: "We don't want no Sharia law here! We don't want to be like them Muslims!" (Hesgeth announces live-streamed public execution, like Saudia Arabia, Afghanistan, N. Korea, Somalia, and Iran.) MAGA: "Yeah! More of that! Woo hoo!"

Meanwhile, RFK Jr. says no prob, while MAGA morons say "the Amish don't vaccinate and they don't get sick." “Many of our patients, by the time they present to us, they’re already so sick that they require hospitalization or even ICU stays.” www.ms.now/news/measles...

Measles is spreading through Pennsylvania’s Amish country. Doctors are scrambling to keep up.
At a rural clinic near the heart of the outbreak, physicians describe patients arriving gravely ill, while federal officials dispute the death toll.

Nuclear non-proliferation is a noble goal. But speeches such as Trump's at the UN will, probably, spur other countries that Trump has threatened (or even not threatened) to develop nukes. Like N. Korea has. Iran CERTAINLY will not abandon its quest now. Moron. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Trump's restraint with Russia is infinite, as he's compromised. Whatever happens, Trump will NEVER turn on Putin. Vlad could bomb a U.S. military base in Europe and he'd blame Biden.

“It will enhance the visitor experience at Arl. Nat.

Not sure, but I believe that Trump "renaming" Lake Ontario to Lake America means in a few months the entire lake will drain completely, and possibly take Erie with it, out of embarrassment. Everything he touches turns to 💩.

1/2 MAGA saying Fetterman's comments prove GOP policies are right reminds me of Mario Puzo's George anecdotes. George, his friend, was in a military hospital ward for soldiers who had been shot in the head. One visit George told Mario, "I have this great idea that'll make millions!" Mario said,

DJIA (though NOT the economy) is down to 52,000. Crude oil up to $102 bbl. On a positive note, Trump's Midterm Convention looks to be a huuuuggge failure - just like our economy under his "leadership."

Trump says Iran's military has been obliterated. Also we're respected and feared the world over. Then these two stories one atop the other. The first shows that Trump is a liar (which we all knew). The second means our adversaries, in spite of Trump's lickspittle approach, don't fear us at all.

Welker, ahead of the airing of her show “Meet the Press,” told NBC D.C. affiliate WRC-TV that Trump is “going to loom large” over the November midterm elections. She noted that he endorsed several candidates in the primaries and said he had “some mixed results.” And then this. What a f-ing baby!

Trump's right. China won't invade Taiwan and Russia won't attack NATO while he's president. That's because they know Trump still has two years to destroy our military and alliances and they don't want to get in his way. They may attack when he's gone and before a new president can repair the damage.
