- The prevailing "Trump got paid from a country that sponsors terrorism" narrative is reductive. #Qatar is NOT the same as KSA or UAE. Donald is an egregiously corrupt criminal who cannot by law accept the luxury airplane. But there's a lot more to Trump/Qatar than meets the eye.
- I guess Donald got over the “Qatar funds terrorism” issue from his first term. Remember there was a blockade that ended when the Kushners got their 666 Fifth Avenue loan. www.justsecurity.org/69094/timeli...
- Trump to accept luxury Boeing 747-800 plane from the Qatari royal family that will be upgraded to serve as Air Force One. The plane would be donated toTrump’s presidential library when he leaves office, allowing him to continue using it as a private citizen. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...
- "The saints of our godless era are the beloved writer-illustrators of rhyming children’s books. To say anything bad about them is tantamount to blasphemy. It’s almost like these works were handed down to Moses on Mount Sinai, who immediately passed them off to the editors at Harper Row."
- Nazis. Pure evil.
- A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind. “They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.” www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...
The cruelty is the point. Shameful what has become of our country. To be clear though, one of the "children" was 19 that doesn't know how to drive and called their aunt who picked them up at the gas station. Sketchy framing of the story.- Thanks for clarifying. Doesn’t make it any less awful though.
- Yeah, I was finding it hard to believe that Trump, Couchfucker, and Marco von Ribbentrop had anything to do with the India-Pakistan ceasefire. Turns out, they lied.
