June 28: Belgium’s diamond industry gifted Trump an 18-karat gold ring encrusted with 321 diamonds and 75 gemstones. July 24: European diamonds got their exemption from Trump’s tariffs. I'm investigating what looks like cartoonish corruption.

I am a retired middle school teacher. I am old enough to remember compromise in government after the rhetoric settled down. I miss those days and hope for better from elected officials.
He was ahead of himself. Drone shows are better overall.

Newsom: "That $400m Qatari plane? That's not a $400m gift. It cost you $936m. That was what was appropriated as he's cutting food stamps and cutting your Medicaid. He put a billion dollars in the Pentagon budget to retrofit his private plane because that's going with him after the presidency ... "
Let’s get back to recognizing that he was in danger due to attacking Iran and then flying to Turkey in a plane the size of a hotel. His greed and showmanship put him in danger - but he was not alone. Staff and media were not safe.

In Ankara, Trump boarded the old AF1 jumbo jet in view of tv cameras. He was secretly shuttled minutes later to a smaller plane — Air Force C-32A — via airport catering truck typically used to load meals and other supplies preflight, according to a US official and material reviewed by The Post.
Contradicting public statements, Trump took secret flight from Turkey amid Iranian threat
The White House said the president was aboard Air Force One as he left a NATO summit. Instead, his departure included an elaborate ruse that concealed his travel.

Why? Why is he sleeping at meetings ? He seems more alert in other situations. Why????

We’re all getting screwed—Democrats and Republicans alike. The billionaires who run this country don’t care about your politics, they only care about their profits. They don’t see Red or Blue—they see Green. They see us as one opposing team. So we might as well act like one.
But seriously. Baron is going to explode someday. He’s a ticking time bomb

How to admit election cheating and not one word about it is in the media.
Maine Dems get to do what think is best.
Garrett M. Graff@vermontgmg.bsky.social · 2d agoThis — very much this. It’s crazy how Platner yields “Dems in disarray,” when action is taken, and crickets about the right when nothing is done with Miller. Another great example about how the media’s default frame is actually right-friendly.
Trump's approval rating before the midterms is the lowest of any president after 1953.
Iran is now publicly talking about what I’ve been saying since this war started: They’re trying to Jimmy Carter him, and he’s letting it happen while telling everyone he’s winning.
Turns out these people are exactly who you think they are
Imagine if Trump could only tell the truth. It’s not possible but imagine how different our world would be if that one little man was forced to tell the truth.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · yesterdayAs I’ve said for 18 months, Trump can lie to them about a lot of things and they will buy it, but his lies about this stuff aren’t fooling anyone. People know how much they pay for things and how much money is in their bank account. The lies & denials only make people more angry.
Imagine what that money SHOULD go towards. Selfishness on display.
Or forced to recite the ten commandments which are hanging on the wall. Both are a civil rights violation.
