Trump going on a random rant about how dumb Biden is when he was addressing the troops at Fort Bragg is another quality Diaper Don moment. I generally don't pay any mind to flubs, we all make them. But when you're attempting to insult another man's intelligence, it's pretty hard to ignore a fuck up that makes you look dumb. Also, Trump insulting anyone's intelligence is pretty wild.

President Donald Trump hurled another insult at Joe Biden during an address at Fort Bragg Tuesday, declaring that his predecessor was never the “sharpest bulb.” “I’ve known this guy for a long time. He was never the sharpest bulb,” Trump, 78, said of Biden, seemingly confusing the idioms “not the sharpest tool in the shed” and “not the brightest bulb”

Sister sent this in a few minutes ago on her drive home from work. We can’t let them normalize this.

Sitting in traffic to protect the homeland from people sitting in traffic.

True heroes Making America Great Again.

The only real hope is that since US Fascism is essentially Southern Conservative in nature and ran by Republicans, it will be too inept to be effective.

Trump just told the White House press pool that an Israeli air strike on Iran “could very well happen” soon.

I can’t tell if he’s subtly giving Netanyahu a green light for a planned strike, blabbing about an imminent attack, or just spitballing with the press. Or is this just a negotiating tactic to get a deal with Iran?

He’s so fucking cavalier about his job that it’s hard to take him seriously on anything, never mind what could be one of the most consequential decisions of his presidency.
I guess Netanyahu took the green light.

Trump cancels work permits for over a half a million migrants and tells them to leave ASAP


Proving once again that its not about legal or illegal, its about nationality and skin color. Evidently, they ran out of the MS13 types pretty quickly. They've 'now moved on to deporting brown people that we knew were here working legally at jobs nobody wants.

Trump/MAGA: - All migrants must be leave now!
Also Trump/MAGA: - We need migrants to work on farms, factories, services and construction!

From what I hear the Afrikaner immigrants were farmers. Maybe they can take their place picking strawberries?

Myself, along with my wife and eldest daughter, and her friends will be going to our local "No Kings" rally in Delray Beach Florida on Saturday.


It wouldn’t surprise me if he says that these are rallies all over the country ARE supporting HIM. Right-wing media will report that with manufactured evidence and all Trump supporters will believe it by Saturday evening. They are living in a different reality.

Listen to this POS:


My family and myself will certainly be on high alert since this fucking psychopath gave the ok for anyone to run us over

This is how fascists roll. Guess DeSantis has never heard of the Nuremburg Trials. I love how our Governmental leaders are always attempting to deescalate civil tensions. So, if a mob of ICE comes up to drag me out of my vehicle and I am in fear for my life, I can run over the whole damn bunch, back up and do it again and again? DeSantis' word does not make something legal. Drivers who hit protestors can be prosecuted. Or shot in self-defense. People protesting peacefully and legally will be completely in their rights to shoot and kill any driver they fear is heading towards them. Something Meatball probably didn't think about. Exactly how many J6 Capitol rioters should have been shot Governor?

He will be thrown into the dustbin of political history along with his felonious wife in less than two years. Another bag of trash that needs to be taken out. I know it's difficult. Be patient.

I took a cruise to Ensenada 6 years ago, and about every 30 minutes saw a military vehicle with armed troops driving down the street. That's not uncommon there apparently. I never thought that would be California though.

And it's only gonna get worse, unfortunately, and the scary part is while I know probably a lot of the Marines are here because of orders. There are some that are MAGAs who are thrilled to be able to help Trump carry out his plans.

I bet all of these that support this had a good paddling when they grew up. Made them what they are.

I've got an uneasy feeling those born in territories that are granted automatic citizenship are on the list somewhere. May be close to the bottom, but we're on there I'd bet.

I've spent a lot of time in Baja CA, mainly in Rosarito. Federales are very common down there. Mostly to give the appearance that the government is protecting tourists. That said, Los Angeles, CA, USA is not Mexico. Nor is it supposed to governed like Mexico. Those of us in Southern CA do not want soldiers on the street. Heck, at this point most of us don't really want do nothing cops either. We also know firsthand that it is completely unnecessary and only further instigating things. Which as everyone knows is the point by this administration. Noem was clear yesterday when she stated the feds were down here to liberate us from our elected officials.

Not to sound like a trump supporter because im really not, but we needed the national guard and also i think we also NEED the marines.
They dont arrest, they protect the federal buildings and workers, so the Police can actually handle the rest.
Otherwise the Police would be so overswamped because again of our useless mayor cutting funds, that they would not be able to do anything.

When you got people loot and running around in the streets, sitting on random cars trying to pass though, and others throwing rocks down freeways at cars passing by, this is NOT a peaceful protest.

Los Angeles has the most incompetent mayor in history, she has no idea how to handle a city and rather be in Ghana. Our Governor is even more incompetent, rather fight it out with the president at the cost of the people living in California to pump his image up in hopes to become the next president.

Im so tired of having to vote for the lesser of two evils these past decade.
And yeah, i heard it many times, just get out of california, well, that is easier said then done. If you live in california, your most likely either really really poor, living off social aid of some sort, or highly vested, and can't afford to move either way. The state tax's you every way possible including adding additional tax on the sale of property over a X amount. Our state insurance commissioner has no idea what a healthy competition of provider means and chased out all the property insurance companies leaving only a few left to control the prices at a stupidly inflated amount.

These past few days i have seen the "Peaceful" protest all these BS news outlets have been speaking of, and they are not peaceful.

You wave a foreign flag on american soil, attack federal officers with commercial grade fireworks, attack federal buildings, again all while burning the american flag and waving a foreign flag. Claim California was stolen by the US and go on "Peaceful" protest. This is not justification of immigration laws. Its a borderline of insurrection, regardless of the case of cause.

What did Waymo have to do with this ordeal to get their cars torched? What did Adidas do to get looted? What did the many hard working los angelinos in the jewelry district who didn't even participate in the immigration crackdown deserve to get their businesses looted.

I honestly feel bad for the migrant community, but this is NOT the way to make a presentation to the rest of America, that you need a voice.

The protests were mostly peaceful before Diaper Don got involved. There were tiny bits here and there of problems, problems the LAPD could have easily taken care of. But things went straight into the shitter when Trump decided to unlease the Marines which turned California into a military state. California would have been better off if he hadn't gotten involved. But instead we got rioting and looting. I'm not excusing the idiots who are tearing shit up, but Trump is the root cause of all of this shit. I'm in So Cal and nobody I know wants the Marines here. On par for his track record for basically everything, Trump's making shit way worse.

He's pouring gasoline on what would have been small brush fires that would have went out on their own without any damage. I know he hates Newsom and the state for not voting for him. So I believe he's happy to see Cali in the state it is.

That's the thing, i feel this was all escalated because of the feud they have against each other and were stuck suffering because of it. They should just be thrown in room together and both should just beat the hell out of each other.

And give our mayor pom poms too while she's at it. That's about all she is good for.

But Newsom isnt' the one taking negative actions so your comment isn't very useful. It is Trump who is actively sabotaging California and it won't be just with the troops; he is doing other things that is inappropriate like making a list of federal money provided to California so he can cancel those grants and similar that he can - but it goes further - frequently he makes a decision on who can get aide during disaster and how much based on if the state supported him. There is of course much more all of it inappropriate. It is fine if you disliked Biden policies but he didnt' decide to withhold aide from states where governors attacked him and oddly enough there were no mass riots during Biden 4 year term which we are now seeing only months into Trump's administration. Basically Trump creates mass unrest but it of course gets much worse look at the idiots in his cabinet. He coudln't even pick intelligent people because knowledge and intelligence was not a requirement for those positions - he just need people who would do whatever he decides to do no matter how outlandish it might be.

So about the only thing positive of locking Newsom and Trump in a room to duke it out is that Trump would pee in his pants.

I still can't quite figure out the relationship between Trump and war.

I mean, clearly his blather about ending the Ukraine war "on day one" has been exposed for the pack-of-lies that it was. And he seems quite eager to take credit for Israel starting war with Iran (and presumably did give them some sort of 'green light' for going ahead with it?).

I still don't think he's exactly in the neo-con camp. He seems far more likely to initiate violent conflict at home than abroad (doesn't seem to me he has much interest in, or knowledge of, the world outside the US).
But that's not the same thing as being a force for global peace, obviously. He's a different kind of promoter of global chaos than the neo-cons, though - the mechanism and the motivations are different.
