Who will protect the women on his staff between now and Jan 2027? Seems to me that by not forcing him to resign today, they've allowed him carte blanche to abuse without consequences.

NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”

Yeah, but what about the part where Macho Man Petey hid behind his Deputy? The missile stockpile rots from the top. At the same time, Trump never wants to read regular updates, briefings, or status reports. They'd interfere with SocMed posting, TV watching, and his workday from noon to 5 PM.

Is it good when the secretary of defense is so fixated on making sure everyone is white and has tv ready abs that he forgets about munitions bsky.app/profile/carl...

www.samsung-news.com/articles/32K... Everyone and their brothers and sisters know it to be true. And this is another reason we cannot trust our own government to follow thru with anything. Just like investigating Epstien.

Here's some news you can use. Brits are out ahead of the US on Epstein. Congrats, Andy! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Despite Trump's remarks, no new negotiations with Iran are planned Did anyone need to tell you that he was lying yesterday? Oh, and did anyone mention that the press hasn't called him out on it today during an Oval Office gaggle? www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...

Live Updates: Despite Trump's remarks, no new negotiations with Iran are planned, U.S. officials tell CBS News

Trump Says He Canceled Strikes on Iran, Claiming Progress on Outlines of a Deal

President Trump has repeatedly threatened to escalate the war with Iran, only to abruptly back down. Saudi Arabia said its leader had urged Trump not to renew attacks.

I was thinking for a moment there should be a drinking game where everyone downs a shot when the United States Attorney's office for the District of Columbia has to drop a frivolous indictment but then I realized only the United States Attorney herself could survive that game

Man who plays an economist on TV lives in a White House bubble with a sociopath and doesn't know shit about Americans.

A society that vilifies scientists and healthcare workers for trying to save lives is a society determined to destroy itself.

Isn't it sad when you believe the "enemy" over our government? I mean, presuming our government isn't the enemy, which they kinda prove they are daily.

Al Jazeera: Iran has released satellite imagery showing that they have destroyed 3 F-35s and damaged 3 more. They have said that several US service members were killed in the attack, including officers. We are claiming that none of their missiles got through.

Yup, it's BS. He's only setting up for a positive open on the NYSE/NASDAQ on Monday.

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · 4d ago

Trump’s entire statement is a lie. It’s just this week’s walkback of a threat he isn’t willing to actually carry out. What incentive does Iran have to negotiate in good faith? The 30th “fire and fury” message from Trump simply doesn’t hit the same.

The result of disinterested, incompetent, corrupt leadership. Will Trump offer support to prevent future attacks? My $ says he won't. He neither understands nor cares.

Cyber attacks- Minnesota 😡👇🏼

I watched about 2 minutes of Trump's Cabinet Meeting from Camp David. That's all I could stand to see/hear him. But seriously, Trump has large enough bags under his eyes for my wife to pack for a weekend getaway and still have room. And she always overpacks. 😆

Or, the reception room at a low-rent Washington, DC, whore house. Who could tell the diff? Same/Same.
