The first of what is expected to be numerous Oktoberfest beers, en route to Munich. Somewhere over France or Spain, it’s hard to tell from up here.

Donald Trump and FIFA is a match made in hell. Both are unashamedly corrupt, completely amoral and only interested in raking in more money. Neither care that they are destroying the beautiful game. They absolutely deserve each other.

Interesting that in this ‘immigration’ action the two individuals murdered by ICE are US citizens. It’s not about immigration, it’s the damaged ego of a small, small man mad because the voters of MN rejected him three times. Donald Trump is a pathetic, deranged, narcissistic loser.

Why haven’t these two done more? Because, secretly they like it. They’re part of the most protected class in America. Laws don’t apply. Taxpayers fund the best healthcare available. Gerrymandered job security. What’s not to like? When an accounting comes, there’s blood on their hands too.

What happened in Minneapolis was inevitable. It’s what happens when a masked mob of untrained, unaccountable thugs are encouraged to terrorize the public. It’s also incredibly inevitable that the regime would defame the murder victim. The same for a congress that will move on as if nothing happened

Maybe it’s just me, but isn’t it weird that we never hear anything about Trump’s chief of staff? That’s usually a pretty high profile job, but she’s completely below the radar.

Charlie Kirk was the product of our time, a provocateur intent on outrage. Because that’s what grabs attention. Did he really believe what he said? Who knows. Most of it was disgraceful. But he was a human being who didn’t deserve to be killed. Another victim of gun violence. And so it goes.

I’m an immigrant currently living in Portugal. The thing I love most about this wonderful country is how I have been received here. My Portuguese language skills are minuscule and I am obviously a foreigner. But all I have seen is kindness and welcoming. I’m seen as a person. It’s so refreshing.

I’m glad for the survival of the 13 year old Trump honored. I am also a cancer survivor, of a rare form that is 100% fatal without treatment. Luckily, Vanderbilt Medical Center utilized a procedure developed with NIH funding and research. Donald Trump has cut that funding. He’s a lying hypocrite.

Nearly 46,000 Palestinian men, women and children have been killed in Gaza. The president of the United States views this as a great real estate opportunity. The Riviera of the Middle East! It’s ethnic cleansing, something I would think Israelis and Jews around the world would find concerning.

My wife is German, she grew up in Munich after the war. She just said the most amazing thing. I was trying to understand why Trump is doing what he’s doing. She said she thinks he is doing Hitler’s final solution passively. Instead of the ovens take away medicine or info about disease. Not crazy.
