Q: "Regarding Cuba, there was an aircraft carrier that just arrived there. Are you sending that there to intimidate the Cuban government?" Trump: "No, not at all…I want to help them on a humanitarian basis. We have the Cuban-American population…they've wanted this to happen."
Sen. Tillis: "Did you actually tell Pulte you were going to punch him in the face?" Bessent: "No, sir. I actually said I was going to kick his ass." Tillis: "Good, I share the emotion…I'm not going to support Pulte for DNI…He lost me when he went after Powell."

Trump is throwing out different Iran War narratives to see which will stick. But this isn't a marketing company where you A/B test Facebook ads. This is the US government. This is war.

Anyway - the production values for this special are insane. This is from "Lab Animal." This story was in both the book and the special, and it's creepy in both, but the show junks the "realistic" visuals for something more Don Bluth-y. Somehow this makes it SCARIER.
Raisa Blommestijn legt uit dat Nazisme voet aan de grond kreeg met het beperken van de vrijheid van meningsuiting, dat ziet ze nu ook gebeuren. Slachtoffer Raisa heeft zelf ervaren dat ze steeds minder mag zeggen, ze heeft al 3 jaar te maken met justitie "voor een aantal tweets"
Day 461 - Cutting gasoline prices 50% by 19 JAN 2026 ? Just another broken promise. This video shows trump making that promise on 10 October 2024 at the Detroit Economic Club in Detroit Michigan. He also promised he'd end Russia/Ukraine war in ONE day, and to lower grocery prices on day 1. Nope.
🚨 According to a U.S. Congressional Research Service report, America has lost or damaged 42 aircraft in the Iran war. The Pentagon puts the total cost of operations at $29 billion and counting. #IranWar #OperationEpicFury #NationalSecurity #USMilitary

In 2022, when he was still working the Fox News job that elevated him into the Trump administration, Hegseth decried "insider trading" by federal officials "They enrich themselves while they're supposed to be temporary public servants"
If our governor is so worried about prison population management, I have a bill he can sign. A lighter sentence for Tina Peters just gives a green light to the Trump administration to further attack our democracy.

With everything going on in the world, our minds need a break now more than ever. Do something brainless today, and I hope you have a relaxing weekend. ❤️
I think with how Iran has strategically played this war, from the Lego videos to the ballistic missiles that can actively maneuvre to avoid interception they deserve every single penny of that $300 billion God the stuff I've learned about Iran because of Trump, like their average 105 IQ levels

Homefront also happened at the wake of GamerGate 2014. The US gov't wanted a chinese red scare, instead got a gamer uprising. Then there was a buffer starting in 2016 that would lead to a second gamer uprising in the 2020s. Masterful gambit, indeed.

☀️🌬️ The share of solar and wind power has grown at an impressive annual rate of 13% since 2020. Even so, that rate must more than double to stay on track for 2030. Only a faster pace of change can make up for lost time. Read the #StateOfClimateAction: bit.ly/4owx8y7
Trump and Netanyahu.. When 2 racist murderous war criminals squabble, true colors show, and it’s not pretty 😳. Or this didn’t happen because Bibi has the Epstein files. Who the hell knows… To hell with both of em

Right across our local area, SWR is delaying and cancelling more and more services. While I look forward to meeting with SWR's Managing Director to press these issues in person, I have, today, also called for a debate in Parliament to discuss SWR's poor service.
