Trump's Golden Age is very real, only it's for the corporations, not the people. Republicans always try to help corporations, not people. The corporations raise prices, not government. Republicans believe in corporate authority and its exploitation of the millions of laborers who make economies.

Trump and Putin are waging the same war. Not helping Ukraine and now helping Russia makes it plain to see. Both want economic communism, not freedom and democracy.

Keep standard time. Start the school days and business hours an hour later and keep it that way all year long. There is no easier solution.

Trump campaigned in 2024 by trying to make pronouncements about a global pandemic to keep the factories and shops open, to downplay the seriousness of the pandemic, and to outright lie about it for his strategy of 'fake reality' to ensure victory in November. His strategy is the same for 2026.

Have we figured out yet that Trump is the figurehead of the corporate hostile takeover of federal government? Republicans want to end the labor and environmental restrictions on corporations to make astronomical wealth regardless of the suffering of laborers and consumers who make it all possible?

Does Trump think he can deceive us with LOVE ME LOVE ME interspersed with subliminal images and get us to pay for it too? Will selectively barring MSNOW, CNN and Politico from presidential events put an end to the ongoing and intensifying exposure of perversity and corruption by Republicans?

Thomas R. Carey🖖 @trc487.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
IMHO: Vance's ban and delayed ending of the ban on the press was deliberate. CNN, MSNOW and Politico were intentionally banned from the meeting with Xi because Trump didn't want to look weak in front of Xi - and because Trump plans on lying about the great meeting and agreements made with Xi.

The only way Trump can annihilate Iran is to nuke them. Only nuking them would "send them to Hell." He said it on the world stage, and so far, it has gotten only a passing glance by the media.

ICE has been out-of-hand all along. Terror and oppression are their deportation policies. Non-criminal immigrants were the real targets all along. And any American citizens getting in the way don't matter. Republicans voted for this, and many other terrible things happening in this country now.

They say Trump is trying to turn democracy into a state-run authoritarian state. The entities most like state-run authoritarian states in the USA are the corporations, and they want to be unregulated again like Russia. Trump thinks he is the owner of America, Inc. Abusing workers is authoritarian.

It is not a coincidence that Rose Garden was turned into a patio, and the East Wing was demolished, and the JFK Performance Arts Center is about to be 'ripped down'. Trump's utter animosity for all things John Fitzgerald Kennedy should be a prosecuted indictment for the derangement syndrome it is.

Thomas R. Carey🖖 @trc487.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
He tore down the East Wing. He's going to rip down the Performing Arts Center. He's going to break ground for his triumphal arch without telling anyone. He screwed up the reflecting pool. He's messing with the public golf course. He skipped Jr.'s wedding because of financial ties to Putin.

Republicans WANTED Trump to seize Venezuela's oil industry. They lied with Trump to start the war with Iran for the same reason that they lied with W to start the war in Iraq: To take over their oil industries. There were no WMDs in Iraq, and the nukes are in North Korea, not Iran.

AI will wipe us out because we will become enslaved to its information and instructions. We will lose our ability to learn how to solve problems on our own. The Carousel in "Logan's Run" is a good idea of what to expect.

Come November, Senate Democrats need to flip five Republican seats to make Fetterman's coming Manchin / Sinema-like renegade votes impotent and meaningless. Manchin and Sinema thwarted a lot of Democratic legislation, and Fetterman surely intends to try too before he's gone.

Upton Sinclair's novel perfectly summarized the kind of government Trump and the MAGA Republicans want to bring back from its collapse that caused the Great Depression of the 1930s: "The Jungle" puts all the horrors of greed and corruption on the table. It's required reading to understand MAGA.

Stop illegal entry into the United States, make all immigrants established here citizens (all 12 million of them, yes). After that, make ICE patrol the borders, and allow a strict quota for legal immigration going forward. All the 'criminals' are the ones sneaking across borders. No one else.

Trump is trying to make pronouncements about the war and his elitist economy in exactly the same way he tried to make pronouncements that the covid pandemic wasn't as bad as fake news was telling us. The same way is exactly the wrong way and why he lost in 2020 and why now MAGA is losing in 2026.

What we call data centers, George Orwell called the Ministry of Truth. In his novel, 1984, the Ministry of Truth is one of 4 ministries of Oceania: Truth, Peace, Love, and Plenty. Like the Ministry of Truth, 'data center' is a deliberate misnomer. Propaganda is what truth and data is really about.

All this retribution and election fraud fake charges coming out of Trump and Republicans stems from their attempt to prove to us that all the indictments, convictions, civil suit losses, corruption, abuse and perversion that IS Trump is due to Democrats trying to destroy him. Trump is a saint.

If one sought out Trump's former personal assistants across the decades of his various enterprises, one undoubtedly would find very close to him a young, luscious platinum blond woman. We know about a lot of them already. How many more have there been? Harp may turn out to be the strangest.

On camera, Harp quickly typed something Trump told her. She works late at night with him - typing his posts for him for Truth Social. She isn't just printing out social media for Trump. She's typing up his posts for him. Trump can't type with a keyboard, but obsessive and devoted Natalie can.

The corporations WANT higher prices for everything. They had to raise wages for essential workers during the pandemic, which has forced them to accept living wages - something they are still resisting. Minimum wage won't go up until everything is more expensive to offset diminishing profit margins.

Most of the problems in America and the world at large would be resolved if the employers on this planet paid at the very least not minimum wages but wages of competence - today's living wages. Cheap, oppressive labor for private wealth remains the reason why all civilizations to date have failed.

Max Miller claims his ex-wife has mental illness issues. When his victim speaks out, the response: 'it's a private family matter' used by the Johnson allows Max to lie about his ex-wife's mental illness to discredit her accusations. It works. It's infuriating to the victims. And totally unjust.

Republicans aren't afraid of Trump. They fully understand that Todd Blanche is as corrupt AF because Republicans are corrupt AF. Republicans aren't afraid of Trump. They are in bed with him. Going along with Trump to avoid his primary wrath is a pretense - an excuse to go along with what he wants.

Trump wants to establish the official MAGA Party. He has to make a lot of MAGA followers rich to create the affluence they can exert over the MAGA minion needed for a legitimate political party. And he wants to use American tax revenues to do it. A sane person would use his own money...

If Trump can't be indicted while he's POTUS, he can be impeached, convicted and removed from office - and then he can be indicted. This is why he claims the elections are being rigged. He can toss out the results if they are. If Democrats take Congress, his many crimes lead to his incarceration.

Trump lost in 2020 in part because of downplaying the covid pandemic. He tried to fake news it, when 25,000 people died from it during his last week in office. He himself caught it and received medicine for it that kept him from dying. The election wasn't rigged. Trump is why Trump lost. Not Fauci.

What if Republicans have been rigging elections for decades - especially in the largest black districts in southern states? What if Chris Krebs discovered and dismantled all of it in 2016? And Trump didn't know until 2020? Trump fired Krebs for declaring 2020 to be the most secure election ever.

Our history is nothing but examples of men raising armies and arsenals to kill people and impose dominion over them. None managed to rule for long. Instead, they caused the inevitable collapse of economy and society. Who knows how many such men have spread death and ruin over the past 6,000 years.

Thomas R. Carey🖖 @trc487.bsky.social · 24/07/2026
If Trump can discredit the men and women who successfully indicted, convicted or fined him for his corrupt and degenerate activities, then he can claim that they must have been out to destroy him because they're 'sick people'. Trump & Blanche weaponized the DOJ to wipe clean Trump's dirty record.

Trump's 'speech' was part of a schedule of events that started in 2025 and will culminate in the 2026 Midterms. It's a constant drip drip drip of deception that will escalate into contesting the midterms. Someone should look at the history of Putin and how he has subverted elections in Russia.

Trump is attacking 'innocent until proven guilty'. Slander and claims of fraud without evidence violate it. Accusations of crimes without evidence apparently has no penalty besides getting tossed out of court. Accusers without evidence should face stiff penalties for their malice. Even POTUS.

FOX aired all of Trump's voting lies and slander. CBS joined the speech a few minutes in and left before it ended. ABC, NBC and CNN did not air the speech but ran the live feed on streaming channels. MSNOW cut away after 17 minutes. No prime time happened to Obama in 2014, and to Biden in 2022.
