I have been wondering why we haven't heard who is buying the stolen oil. I guess the answer is nobody.
In terms of religion, I’m 2/3 Christian, 1/3 a believer but not sure certain about what I believe in. Philosophically, I’m half Buddhist, half Christian.
Trump needs a Reichstag fire so bad. I couldn't possibly give an elevator pitch for why we are at war with Iran. His personal poll numbers are lower than syphilis. Epstein. Plus the radical socialist Democrat Party won't fund DHS because they keep killing people. I feel like I'm just waiting for a bomb to go off somewhere. If there was ever a time for one to go off, it is right now. On the bright side, I've never seen the slightest indication that this government is capable of pulling off a complicated operation like that and the president bombing American citizens for political gain might, (MIGHT!) actually be a bridge too far for a handful of Republicans.
that’s basically the “serenity prayer” . . . God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. . . . penned by my downstate Illinois homey Reinhold Niebuhr, minister and active socialist.
The one I like goes something like this: Did you cause it? [No] Can you control it? [No] Can you change it? [No] Then chill out!
The Trump administration is going to get about $10B for its role in the TikTok deal. According to this article, the money goes to the government and not the Trump family. The whereabouts of that $$$ should be the subject of intense investigation ASAP. https://www.wsj.com/tech/tiktok-dea...f?st=Vs7P66&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
The MAGA true believers would absolutely do such an operation. The problem is they're all grifters and would blab for clout, clicks, and cash.
South Korea's official reporting of a meeting with Trump is couched in diplomatic language, but something weird happened. Basically, Trump called the South Korean prime minister (who was in Washington for talks with Vance about tariffs) in for an emergency meeting, and then spent the whole time showing pictures of himself meeting with North Korea's Un and asking for another meeting with him. What was that about? Trying to relive his glory days? Why does he think they wanted to see that, or that they are the gateway to seeing Un? I guess North Korea's answer was no seeing as they shot a bunch of missiles into the Sea of Japan shortly afterwards.
This article is super interesting. see in particular mar a lago face as gender affirming perversion https://www.liberalcurrents.com/pervert-politics-trumpisms-body-obsessions/
Cock your head and recognize, in the bodies and styles of the reactionary right, the same styles taken from drag culture: exaggerated talismans of masculine and feminine, exaggerated performances of manhood and womanhood, all played with completely straight faces. There's no humor or fun here, just a dead-eyed desperation to finally be enough. The vision of masculinity and femininity offered by reactionary camp is detached from any traditional values or material basis. No one ever looked or acted like this back in that 1950s era they venerate so highly. But reactionary camp speaks to—something. https://www.liberalcurrents.com/the-new-gender-synthesis/
I'd point out that the main add on here is the male obsession w/ body perfection. Women have been shamed into wanting that appearance at least since the 30s.I mean the Stepford Wife look was real back in the 70s.
Is this what the kids call looksmaxxing? Cause it just looks to me like a doofus hitting himself with a hammer.
I think we might be in the early stages of the MAGA implosion myself. There is a lot of infighting happening right now.
Saw something somewhere over the weekend that Kushner (and somebody else - Witkoff?) attended a meeting in Saudi Arabia, I think, which was discussing weapons capabilities of the various countries involved. Such are the experts that Kushner and partner have, they felt the need to not bring any technical weapons experts for the region. Clowns, and not taking this war seriously.
Other than impregnating daddy's girl, I have no clue what Kushner has done that warrants having him involved in everything this clown car administration does.
His family did own 666 5th Avenue in NY. I swear, the one conspiracy people on the right didn't go for is all the End Times crap. Kushner + 666, not to mention the orange pedophile being shot in the head - "One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed" (Revelation 13:3). It's just crying out for it!
