Fascinating to see that all the dirty, tired, old tricks used by warmongers for the past two decades are no longer working.
Americans across the board have woken up and are tired of the BS and lies.
This US-Israel War in Iran is a political disaster, and the Trump Admin knows it.

Do I have to join some sort of a movement or can I just call it common sense to say I'd like mentally unwell people out of leadership positions if the products they make or the people they oversee have the ability to kill
Karp, Musk, Trump, Hegseth... JFC, how hard is it fill positions of power?

Trump is wearing his own branded merchandise while attending the dignified transfer of troops that he sent into battle to die in an illegal war
Heโs literally using dead American soldiers as props to sell campaign merchandise.
What kind of a degenerate, vulgar sociopath does that

Ossoff on Cobert's show: "This whole Epstein saga has exposed the lie of the very core of Donald Trump's political project. It's been a lie since he came down the golden escalator. Which is that this guy cares about or ever wanted to anything to help working-class and middle-class Americans."

Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill โ despite profits hitting $90B โ thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill.
Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund.
Quite a return on investment, huh?
