trump now crying about people being mean to him in a multi-day rant on 'truth' social
fox news guests refusing to take this seriously until we're allowed to see the contents of top secret classified documents
justice dept filing last night lays it out - they obstructed, lied and hid documents. trump is still trying to claim executive privilege as he feels he is the 'true' president.

a lot of hand waving about biden using the 'f' word when trump himself called biden a fascist a couple of years ago. fox news self righteously declaring that biden is the 'true' fascist now. this is spinning up to be an amazing midterm. i don't see civil war happening, this country is purple like a bruise. trump's ridiculous candidates will lose (i predict!) our senate GOP candidate got scared and scrubbed his right-to-life positions. things are getting weird when a venture capitalist is the populist candidate. our GOP nominee for governor is a complete loon who still insists trump won the election and won't hear anything else. LOSERS
sorry it's just so absurd
these were found in trump's office after his attorney swore all docs were contained to the storage room

Well people are stupid...
I mean there's like tons of monarchies in Europe still (and that's not counting the rest of the world).
It would be great to finally get rid of them, but I believe the historical moment to execute and persecute the aristocracy has passed.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
I love it!
PS: Of course the queen is probably doing well and is far from being dead. And if anything had happened to their queen, the bees would know it first.

so the florida judge, appointed by trump less than 2 years ago, is now taking his side against the gov't - questioning whether the docs are classified at all and implying trump may in fact own some of them
trump's position is the gov't is illegitimate and the judge agrees - it's possible. i'm seeing this right???

they interviewed the greek prince on tv and didn't call him prince or anything....the banner underneath just said 'pavlos' that was it....maybe he's so royal he insists on such informality to underscore the exceptionally formal...

our former national security advisor. the wingnuts are convinced that biden bombed putie's pipeline and trump has now offered to broker a peace deal.
chomsky must be thrilled. tucker's pipeline bit was very popular on russian tv yesterday. i'm watching world at war because WE ARE AT WAR
might be overdoing it tho - i dreamed of machine gun nests last night

No you are not! I'm sure every sane person is worried.
But for me, the USA were always a bit like the "Iran of the West" - so no surprises here...

Iran appeared to be pretty liberal before "the revolution" as well, but then things started to unravel very fast...
Thanks for your concern Rischka. Once all those (Putin-financed) right-wing parties start gaining major control of the European Union...
Even darker times are approaching fast, it seems.
