If this were a Greek myth or a bible story we would get a pandemic far worse than Covid this time around and be sinners in the hands of an angry God.

The Fauci hearing perfectly illustrated how living through a once in a century pandemic somehow made Republicans far worse on public health. God forbid we face anything like covid again during Trump 2.0. There will be no Dr Fauci around to try to talk sense to Trump.

Hey, remember when Fauci privately told a reporter on Feb 7th 2020 that Covid was "more deadly than even your strenuous flus... This is deadly stuff" but then told a public press conference on Feb 27th 2020: "This is a flu. This is like a flu"? Oh wait! That was... Donald Trump.

Trump has no clue what he’s doing in the Saudi nuclear deal

The weirdly out-of-the-blue, ill-timed announcement of a sweeping, decades-long, multibillion-dollar nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia just keeps getting more haphazard and nonsensical the more we learn…

“This is what cavorting with the enemy looks like. This communicates to many Americans that the media is in on the game—that it hasn’t merely failed to name and condemn Trump’s fascism but aids and abets it in order to maintain access to power.” www.americaamerica.news/p/can-legacy...

Looks Like Cheating to Win an Election…..

HERE WE GO AGAIN: Israel’s N12 reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday, where Netanyahu is expected to present intelligence claiming Iran is “once again racing towards nuclear weapons and accelerating its actions.”

In the European view, the fact that Donald Trump could be elected president twice and still command over 35% popular support after engaging in depraved, reckless and corrupt conduct is stark evidence of long-term institutional disintegration inside the US. The country is no longer a desirable ally.
