Trump Translator:
“We’ll get it done” = I have no intention on doing anything unless it makes me money.
"Many People have told me" = Voices in my head and fictional people have complimented me.
"A lot of people don't know" = I just learned something most people already knew.
"Believe me" = I just lied.
"In Fact" = I'm about to lie.
"He's a great guy" = I will deny ever knowing this person after they begin to tell the truth about me.
"MAGA" = Making my pockets fatter off the American tax payers.
"Nobody knew" = Everyone knew except me.
"Huge" = moderate to below average in size.
"Loser" = someone who makes me feel inferior due to their talent or accomplishments.
"Policy Briefing" = Turning on Fox News.
"Liar" = Someone telling the truth about me

Truths about Trump:
The “billionaire” who hides his tax returns.
The “genius” who hides his college grades.
The “businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 years.
The “playboy” who pays for sex.
The “Christian” who doesn’t go to church.
The “philanthropist” who defrauds charity.
The “patriot” who dodged the draft”
The “innocent man” who refuses to testify
*****************************
Christianity was born from an ancient fertility cult back when darkness, fear, ignorance and violence was the order of the day. Add in a virgin rape and birth, a zombie or two to scare the idiots, and you have the nexus of organized religion. In modern times they figured out how to monetize those same base instincts by preying (no pun intended) on those around them who are weak of mind lack or willpower. Theocrats and fascists walk hand in hand in America, and in the halls of Congress. The well manicured illusion of separation of church and state has always been a fucking joke from the beginning.

Let’s stop the wishful thinking and face the stark reality: There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day. In 13 weeks, Donald Trump will have locked up the Republican nomination. In the RealClearPolitics poll average (for the period from Nov. 9 to 20), Trump leads his nearest competitor by 47 points and leads the rest of the field combined by 27 points. The idea that he is unelectable in the

Obamagate

Trump: Obamagate. It’s been going on for a long time. It’s been going on from before I even got elected, and it’s a disgrace that it happened, and if you look at what’s gone on, and if you look at now, all this information that’s being released — and from what I understand, that’s only the beginning — some terrible things happened, and it should never be allowed to happen in our country again. And you’ll be seeing what’s going on over the next, over the coming weeks but I, and I wish you’d write honestly about it but unfortunately you choose not to do so. Rucker: What is the crime, exactly, that you’re accusing him of? Trump: You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody. All you have to do is read the newspapers, except yours.

How Extremists Took Over Israel

The Unpunished: How Extremists Took Over Israel After 50 years of failure to stop violence and terrorism against Palestinians by Jewish ultranationalists, lawlessness has become the law. h ttps://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/16/magazine/israel-west-bank-settler-violence-impunity.html Ronen BergmanMark Mazzetti By Ronen Bergman and Mark Mazzetti May 16, 2024 This story is told in three parts. The first documents the unequal system of justice that grew around Jewish settlements in Gaza and the West Bank. The second shows how extremists targeted not only Palestinians but also Israeli officials trying to make peace. The third explores how this movement gained control of the state itself. Taken together, they tell the story of how a radical ideology moved from the fringes to the heart of Israeli political power. PART I.
