      This is the biggest disaster for America, never mind Trump, to the Mooch, it’s the beginning of the end.
      The Middle East countries, the EU, even after Trump, all these countries will reflect on how can Americans put someone insane into the White house; and America can’t be trusted any longer. America is finished; that’s from lil ole me in North Yorkshire, Uk.
      And the bit you 2 are missing is that Trump DOES NOT CARE; he’s just shifting the pressure and narrative away from the Epstein files because he’s not just guilty; it’s looking like he’s a murderer or an accessory to murder with what’s emerging in New Mexico and Epsteins ranch there.
      Trump is in panic and ultra desperation mode now and doesn’t care what he sets on fire as he crashes.
      He’s set the world economy on fire.

      And follow the money, channels like Bloomberg will show you where the money is going, and war is really about the money.

    Look at Trump's interior decoration choices: this is not a person who sees beyond fantasy or self-aggrandisement. A man who kits out his own living spaces like hotels is a person who sees the world as a hotel, and wants it to function as one: fleeting, focussed on him, and without responsibility. It is a world of veneers and gold leaf, where you never admit to the existence of the frantic kitchens, the basement maintenance room, or grubby service elevator - the very things that make it all work and that allow you briefly to experience that fantasy. But it is just that: a fantasy.

I usually work from home but caught up with some friends on Thursday night; I also donated plasma this morning and all conversations revolved around what the US and in particular, the orange pdf is doing right now. Amerikkkans have no idea how they are despised throughout the entire planet right now and will do for years to come. Oh and I had to pay double for fuel this morning and everything i bought at the supermarket was a $1 more than i paid last week. Thanks Amerikkka! BABA forever!!

Israel needs the oil, and they are invading Lebanon. No Trumps ever serve or served. And Trump trots out Melania. We know she does not give a flying fvck. Trump is in very deep trouble. He has lost 50% of Maga. In Kansas, Trump flags are indoors. I saw a big one for sale in a thrift store yesterday. Trump will be impeached in February 2027. His cabinet will largely go to jail. His pardons will be voided due to his impeachment.

    Critical 1796 warning was about the rise of political factions. George Washington believed that political parties could become “potent engines” for ambitious individuals to undermine the government and the will of the people. He cautioned that loyalty to party over nation could foster a “spirit of revenge” and lead to the rise of “cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men” who would usurp power for their own ends. He urged Americans to prioritize national interests over party loyalty to preserve the republic.
