Go wipe the floor with these clowns in November, American friends. We're rooting for you to find a way to push these losers out of power and put a stop to their omnishambolic nonsense.

- sincerely, a Brit.

Thanks! God I hope so! It's really our only hope!

Thank you for the article, Mary. Professor Krugman is one of the best economists, in fact. Gas has jumped 80 to 90 cents and I live in an Oil and gas producing region. It’s holding at 3. 89 per gallon. I wonder if the market is being manipulated? Businesses are struggling with inflation and some have closed their businesses, here in the Midwest. I think our voters go to the polls in August. If you like Independent Media, and honesty in reporting if you can please subscribe to Mary Trump Media.

We need first and foremost to make sure the midterms don’t get hacked. Who is building the necessary cybersecurity?

2 groups I know of are analyzing the vote manipulation that was done in 2024: www.electiontruthalliance.org and www.smartelections.us, but I don’t know of anyone working on prevention. Y’all must know that Donald is positively salivating at the thought of the all-MAGA Congress that is within his reach.

Trump thrives on chaos. It’s what keeps him going .

This is a serious question in spite of how it sounds. First, I realize DT has mental issues such as narcissistic and inferiority I assume.

My question is just how stupid he really is. He seems to be very good at reading what people would like or like to hear but beyond that he’ seems to be a one trick pony.

I just wonder who and how many people are the puppet masters behind the scenes thrying to keep a brain damaged president from running the ship aground or sinking it completely.

And this is why Trump's minions are gerrymandering desperately. They know that making it impossible for Black votes to count is their only way to win the upcoming elections.

If that strategy fails, there's the SAVE Act's promise to disenfranchise women, elderly people, and minorities nationwide.

Not to mention the threat of ICE goons staring at us while we wait our turn to vote, followed by the Orange Felon's standard shout about how the election was stolen from his poor little hands.

He’s using every lever at his disposal to stop the inevitable. Despite his lack of situational awareness when it comes to foreign affairs. He has to have enough to know that economic fallout to this ill-conceived war with Iran has electoral consequences, which is why he’s been putting as may roadblocks to the ballot box as possible, because he knows that Americans collective reality to this economic crisis is so a far off from the pristine fiction he’s been trying desperately to pedal. Donald can lie about most things, but you can’t convince a man, who’s struggling to support his family, that he isn’t struggling.

With all the mess going on in this country and the world, I can’t believe that Todd Blanche stood in front of cameras with a straight face and announced an indictment of James Comey for seashells. It’s astoundingly stupid, politically motivated and a waste of time and money.

"It’s astoundingly stupid, politically motivated and a waste of time and money."

And what's SO WRONG WITH THAT? You weren't thinking about those dratted Epstein files were you, huh? HUH? See?

I am joking in a dark and bitter manner Kathy Roeske. You can't make sense of nonsense but you can damn sure make fun of it!

I am praying every night that Democrats take the House and Senate in November.

Yeah, what was Rex Tillerson's description of Herr Trump? F*cking Idiot? Nothing has changed.

Thanks to all. We need to keep the pressure up.

If America is producing more oil than any other country AND we don’t need any other countries oil then why is the price of gas going up?

SLSRPH's avatar

The kind of oil we produce is neither easy nor inexpensive to transform into gas for our cars.

Even if the SoH opened tomorrow, it will take years for oil production to return to normal. Iran has done serious damage to the infrastructure. It will take years to repair it. This is our new normal and it sucks.

"Even if the SoH opened tomorrow, it will take years for oil production to return to normal."

And that is the nuance which goes unsaid while we break for advertisement and station identification interspaced with more ads. The moment to actually inform the public-at-large is lost, never to return.

I strongly suggest subscribing to Malcolm Nance- Black Man Spy on Substack. He's a retired Naval Intelligence Officer and has in depth podcasts every morning. I've learned a lot from him and he's almost always right.
