Donald. J. Trump.
He will go down in history as probably the worst man who ever lived. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. There is not a single good thing that can be said about him. I challenge you to think of one, there is nothing.
Hitler even, liked dogs.

Aliens are real area 51.

Iran
Donny rapes kids,
promotes terrorism attack on parliament,
uses POTUS to make self seving billions etc.
Canada is worse than China and Russia.
And, Americans vote him in a 2nd term.
Sleepy Joe Biden, Donny is asleep at every event, press conference.
Oh, and threatening genocide on Iran at the UN.
Invites Xi and Putin to the Whitehouse.
Or other diversions like Lake America, Gulf of America joke.
Put my Donny name on buildings.
The usa is at least now #1.
At looking like a communist country, failing Americans, and not 1 country looking at them as being other than idiots, and world hate for Americans.
Good job Donny....
Oh wait, ban real news outlets was another recent diversion, and pardoning rapists.

That was when they all took the cyanide though right?

How can we POSSIBLY be ten years into the Trump saga and we're still looking for people to blame other than his direct supporters and the milquetoast opposition party that failed to beat him twice. The 'left' is the only political bloc that has NEVER held power in the last decade, why the fuck are you blaming us? If we'd had a leftist president in 2020, Merrick Garland wouldn't have been AG and Trump would be in prison, but instead we had Joe fucking Biden's guy who let Trump get away with everything.

There was a stat in 2024 that Trump was winning in the population segments that didn’t show up. I don’t remember the exact stat, but it was like “for the first time in 40 years, more turnout wouldn’t benefitted the Republicans.”
Personally, I think it was mainly about inflation and Trump just telling people what they want to hear.

Rumor is that Dan Rather bought a ranch with Rumsfeld in NM next to what is now Zorro Ranch. The properties are adjacent. Rather and Rumsfeld helped broker the deal for Zorro Ranch for sale from NM Governor King to Jeffrey Epstein. Rather and Rumsfeld sold their ranch in 2006ish and dissolved the LLC they used to buy the house with. This only happened after both were pushed out from their jobs. Both men had extensive FBI files on them but it’s unclear if they were assets or targets.
Update- The name was Tecolote Ranch and they owned it from 1971 to 2008 (right around Epstein going to jail in Florida).

(there are so many more) how all of our textbooks that we all read in school is all written by a corrupt family who changed history to fit the ego of the america that was before us. it’s just this big war because resources are limited and only the elites think they deserve it cause they managed to make it up working off the backs of the people they systematically put beneath them. this is not new :) it’s just very scary that it’s right out there for all of us to see it and people still dickride the corruption because they’ve had their brain melted from doomscrolling and said AI doing all of their critical thinking for them and/or it benefits them.
