Another theory on why Trump made Stephen Miller his COS: he's worried that his Cabinet might try to 25th Amendment him now, so he put his most loyal capo in charge to tamp any potential mutinies down.

Donald Trump has done a lot of terrible things to this country over the last decade. But here’s what I think is most insidious of all: Trump has taught Americans that cruelty is strength, that resentment is identity, and that hating other people somehow makes you superior.

If someone was willing to storm the U.S. Capitol, assault police officers, threaten Congressmen and Senators, and even hang Mike Pence just so Donald Trump could serve a second term, what do you think they'd be willing to do to potentially qualify for a Five Million Dollar government payout?

Here's another dark possibility. Netanyahu can't be happy with this ten-point deal. So, what if he continues to lob a few missiles into Iran to goad them into responding with missiles of their own and thereby force Trump's hand?

Other possibility is he unilaterally announced a cease fire hoping Iran will honor it and allow ships through the Strait of Hormuz. If not, he blames them for breaking a cease fire they never agreed to and starts bombing anyway, but with his typical denials of responsibility.

There's an outside possibility that Trump's 2-week cease-fire announcement is just a ruse to get Iranians to abandon their human circles around their bridges and power plants so that he can move forward with the bombing campaign without killing civilians. Time will tell. #iranwar #Trump #Taco

People keep talking about the possibility of US boots on the ground in Iran. Gang, they ARE there. I guarantee you we have special forces and CIA teams running covert op missions right now. Not tens of thousands. But certainly a few dozen are already there. You have to be naive to think otherwise.

48 minutes long but well worth the time. Sen. Whitehouse lays out many of the Epstein-Trump-Russia connections very clearly. www.youtube.com/live/ylvTFvJ...

Sen. Whitehouse to uncover connections between Trump, Russia, and Epstein.

What part of $90 a barrel oil, 90,000 lost jobs, a new Middle East war, and a spike in inflation is making America great again?

Trump and Rubio assumed Iran would fold again like they did last summer. But Iran now realizes that folding last summer after an unprovoked attack was an existential mistake. They simply cannot do that again and maintain their self-respect as a nation. Trump miscalculated badly.

I just want CNN to stop qualifying every Epstein story about Trump with, "Let's be clear, he hasn't been accused of any criminal activity." He has been accused. He hasn't been cleared.

NBC News's Tom Llamas did an hour-long interview with Trump filled with softballs & filled with Trump lies that he didn't challenge. Worst of all, he did not ask 1 single question to Trump about the Epstein files & the 38,000 references to Trump. Our mainstream media is broken. Subscribe to Zeteo.

Please, please, media outlets, remember the C word: context. You can’t discuss Trump’s apes post - or his ‘blame a staffer’ excuse - if you’re not also factoring in and reminding your viewers/readers about his birtherism, his ‘send her back’ remarks, him calling Somalis ‘low IQ’.

Trump claimed he hadn't spoken to Jeffrey Epstein since 2004. But here is an email from 2018 wherein Epstein claims he was asked for 3 names to replace Steven Mnuchin. Everything Donald says is a lie.

kind of crazy to see republicans attack thomas massie for doing the thing they demanded for years (release the epstein files)

#EpsteinFiles show FBI i'viewed a victim in Jul '19 who credibly accused #Trump of sexual assault, undermining claims he'd not been accused of wrongdoing. Unclear what became of the investigation. Entered in FBI case files the day before Epstein found dead. Uncovered by reporter Roger Sollenberger.

Videos verified by The New York Times show Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday, was holding a phone, not a gun, when the agents took him to the ground and shot him. In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds.

Videos Show Moments in Which Agents Killed a Man in Minneapolis

Federal authorities said the slain man, Alex Pretti, had approached agents with a gun. But videos show Mr. Pretti was holding his phone, not a weapon, when they pulled him to the ground.

And tonight all the main news broadcasts in america will not even mention that their president is unhinged, demented and clearly unfit to lead anything at all. They are so afraid of the truth.

This country thought they were electing Sonny Corleone. What they got was Fredo.

My holiday wish... 📘📚#booksky @booksky.bsky.social

A not too distant future?

Why "by Thanksgiving"? To coincide with a huge Epstein doc dump, I’m betting. In Trump's warped mind he can bury the Epstein revelations over the holiday weekend with a so-called "historic peace deal."

Trump is pushing Ukraine to commit strategic suicide by Thanksgiving.

A headline worthy of SNL's Jim Downey. We are living in bizarro world.

Immature? Sure. But if he can post the sombrero and sh*tbomb memes, we can post this.
