Trump demands that Smithsonian turn over their documents for planning for the 250 year events by Tuesday. It must be a positive, Trump-heavy and white-dominant interpretation of American history

Smithsonian should just send them all of the Epstein files that they have access to.
In 1976, it was the National Park Service that led the federal bicentennial commemoration efforts. You know, the agency Trump gutted? I could not imagine a more different national mood between 1976 and now. In 1976, it was a celebration of freedom. Now, it's jackbooted Nazis roaming the street.

Anecdotally I don't really know anybody who isn't worried about their job and lets just say the economic vibes from that do not accrue to the favor of the party in power.

What an embarrasment ... I wonder if he'll change his mind and back Machado as VZ pres if she gives him the prize.

Trump to meet Machado, says it would ‘great honor’ to accept her Nobel prize

President Trump said he looks forward to meeting with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado next week, adding that it would be a “great honor” to receive her Nobel Peace Prize.

Machado told Fox News host Sean Hannity on his show earlier this week that she would like to give her Nobel Peace Prize, which she won earlier the year, to Trump.

Trump, who has repeatedly suggested he should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, told Hannity on Thursday he’d be pleased to accept it from her.

“I’ve stopped eight wars,” Trump said. “I think it’s been a major embarrassment to Norway. Now, I don’t know what Norway has to do with it but that’s where the committee is located, a lot of Norwegian people.” ...

Just the best deal maker. Thinks "spheres of influence" should be a thing again, so he is giving up all our global influence for literally nothing in return.
This admin has already explicitly spoken of the use of military force.
Their idea of influence is for the United States to be the Nazi Germany of the Americas. Trump is to the Americas as Hitler was to Europe. Although, if I am being honest, it's not going to be him. Another Republican will happily take up the mantle when things really get going.

Well that would be some trade - a country for a statue.

Nah, he might get forced to change his mind after seeing that Delcy has trouble to solve due Diosdado Cabello acting.

Dude's picture on the front of the times showed his right side drooping visibly and he's popping aspirin like chiclets to have "thin blood". You'll never convince me he didn't have a stroke.
We'll all find out in 2029 when Tapper releases his tell all book about how everyone knew.

Really rooting for the stroke here, and not just for Hair Fuhrer.

GOP, Grand Old Pedophiles at it again.
Poor Epstein, all he had to do was hold out a few more years and they would have invaded whole nations to protect him.

UK threatened with sanctions if Starmer blocks Musk's X

The UK has been warned it could face US sanctions if Sir Keir Starmer attempts to block Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, amid mounting concern over its AI tool generating sexualised images of women and children.
Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican Congresswoman and ally of Donald Trump, said she was drafting legislation that would allow the US to sanction the UK if the UK bans or restricts X under the Online Safety Act.
Luna, who sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said any move against the platform would amount to “a political war against Elon Musk and free speech”.
Her intervention follows revelations that users have been exploiting X’s AI chatbot, Grok, to create non-consensual sexual images, including images involving children.

A MAGA dipshit was defending Trump raising the retirement age, their logic to me "yeah, but it only applies to people born after 1960, so it's not like it's gonna be everyone." I asked if they understood anyone born before 1960 was already of retirement age. I'm a mellow person, but any conversation I have with any of his cult seems to piss me the fuck off. Every single one of them is dumb.

I guess with their thinking, Trump could have made it so recently retired people had to return to the workforce for a few years? LOL
