“In March 2020, Trump approved an agreement with the Taliban (not the Afghan government at the time) for all U.S. forces to leave the country by May 1, 2021. He sealed the deal with a phone conversation with Abdul Ghani Baradar, a co-founder of the Taliban and head of its political office in Qatar. “We had a good long conversation today and, you know, they want to cease the violence,” Trump told reporters at the time. “They’d like to cease violence also.”
He had a good long conversation with the Taliban. Isn’t that nice?
“I dealt with Abdul, and he’s still the leader, strong man, smart man, but he understood that if he did anything because we were losing a lot of people to the snipers. … And he understood. And he said, ‘Yes, Your Excellency, I understand.’ He called me Your Excellency. I wonder if he calls that to Biden. I doubt it, right?
Is there anyone in the world that doesn’t know you can get anything you want from Trump if you just tell him how great he is.

But unlike Trump, Biden’s import duties are thought out and serve a purpose.
“Biden’s narrower aim is to drive up the price of Chinese vehicles in an effort to give American EV makers the time they need to create a thriving domestic industry. As the White House said, “This action advances President Biden’s vision of ensuring the future of the auto industry will be made in America by American workers.”
“Biden’s initiative also is a direct response to alleged aggressive Chinese dumping of low-cost EVs aimed at dominating the world market, something it is doing in Europe though not yet in the US”

Because Trump and the MAGA MORONS have no morals.
Last time Lewandowski worked on the Trump campaign he:
banged Hope Hicks. In Trump’s words, a great piece of ass
He assaulted a female reporter, grabbing her by the arm
He slapped a woman performer on the ass, twice, at a campaign event.
He sexually harassed a female donor at a 2021 charity event.
He was arrested, he was fired, he was charged with assault.
Trump also still has Jason Miller on his staff as a senior adviser. Miller, who is also married like Lewandowski, knocked up a campaign staffer and tried to get her to have an abortion. When she wouldn’t comply, Trump fired her.
“The lasting bond between the two men is clear. While campaigning in Lewandowski’s home state of New Hampshire earlier this year, Trump welcomed him to the stage, musing, “Nobody was closer to me.” At another event, Trump called Lewandowski “a very, very good friend of mine who is very powerful actually.”

“Since I live in a rural area, many of my old friends are Trump supporters. One, a good and generous woman, backs Trump because she feels betrayed by the Democratic and Republican political establishments, and she has a point. When factories closed and good union jobs left the area, she ended up homeless and addicted; four members of her extended family killed themselves and she once put a gun to her own head. So when a demagogue like Trump speaks to her pain and promises to bring factories back, of course her heart leaps”
Reagan killed the middle class in the decade of greed. What do you say to these people who can’t/won’t educate themselves.
A good story about rural people wiped out by drugs. I don’t get the feeling there is the same sympathy for black communities wiped out by drugs.

Apparently they are wanting the freedom to engage in threesomes.
Trump was hoping to hookup.
“Moms for Liberty weathered a scandal over the sexual behavior of one of its founders, Bridget Ziegler, which may have cost it some support. Other leaders of the group have distanced themselves from Ms. Ziegler, who has since left the organization”
“The Southern Poverty Law Center, a left-leaning organization, has declared Moms for Liberty an “extremist group” that spreads “hateful imagery and rhetoric against the L.G.B.T.Q. community.”
The fact that Ziegler wanted to have sex with another women was not seen as hypocritical by the MAGA MORONS. Because they are morons.
Teaching children that gay people exist is NOT grooming. It is totally acceptable and appropriate.

This ought to be very damaging to Trump.

First was Lt. General Michael Flynn. He lasted 3 weeks. He was indicted for lying to the FBI about contacts with Russians. He plead guilty. Trump pardoned him.
Second was Lt. General HR McMaster. Trump fired him after 11 months. He described the Trump White House as competitive sycophancy. He also said Trump wants flattery and is addicted to adulation. See video
His third was John Bolton. Bolton served for 17 months and has said Trump should never be President again. He essentially called Trump a buffoon in this interview.

“Democrats have long wrestled with how to go after Trump, trying strategies ranging from ignoring or dismissing him, as some tried to do early in the 2016 race, to President Joe Biden’s argument that he presents a threat to democracy. This year’s convention culminated recent efforts to needle Trump on topics known to strike a nerve in the former president” … “some convention attendees said they detected a willingness to go after Trump in new and less dignified ways, after years of Biden mostly sticking to sober criticisms of Trump’s behavior, especially his disregard for democratic norms”.
So the party is finally coming around to my way of thinking on how to respond to Trump’s obnoxious and insulting style of politics.
He deserves nothing but derision and so do his MAGA MORON followers. You’re welcome.

They were known as the Central Park Five. He was wrong.
The actual perpetrator confessed and DNA evidence confirmed his guilt.
Trump has not only not apologized, but he insists he was right about his actions
He is a disgrace and so are his supporters.
More than a decade after the attack, while incarcerated for attacking five other women in 1989, serial rapist Matias Reyes confessed to the Meili assault and claimed he was the only actor; DNA evidence confirmed his involvement.[4] The convictions against McCray, Richardson, Salaam, Santana, and Wise were vacated in 2002; Lopez's convictions were vacated in July 2022. All five defendants sued the City of New York for malicious prosecution, racial discrimination, and emotional distress; the city settled the suit in 2014 for $41 million.

“One can say — again — that Trump is a vulgar, thoughtless, and awful man. One can also point out this isn’t the first time Trump has denigrated military service. In 2015, he disparaged John McCain for having been a prisoner of war. Later, while serving as president, Trump called America’s war dead ‘suckers’ and ‘losers.’ according to his Chief of Staff. Now he denigrates Medal of Honor recipients because some are deceased or injured.”
Sadly, the media has grown so inured to Trump that they barely notice what was arguably the most offensive statement a presidential candidate has ever made about military heroes (since the first Trump campaign). That is irresponsible, another step in the normalization of the most morally and intellectually unfit person ever seeking to become commander in chief.

I named 4 for Biden. Let’s see the MAGA MORONS name 4 laws signed by Trump. No bullshit. No ideas. No SCJ nominations. No executive orders. Laws. 4 laws signed by Trump.
We know he sign a tax reform law that blew up the deficit cutting taxes for wealthy individuals and corporations. So that’s one. Name 3 more.
As a refresher, here’s Biden’s 4 laws that helped Americans.
1. Biden passed the American Investment Act and quickly and effectively distributed the Covid vaccine throughout the country.
As a result, the government sent Americans in the low-to-medium income range a $1,400 payment to help fund basic necessities like rent and groceries. Biden also extended a $300 a week federal unemployment benefit for some 9.7 million people out of work at the time, temporarily expanded the child tax credit program, allotted $7.25 billion for small business loans and $128 billion in grants for state educational agencies. Biden teamed up with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to administer and track COVID-19 vaccinations across the country.
2. The inflation reduction Act capped insulin payments at $35 a month and the law is projected to reduce 2030 U.S. greenhouse gas emissions to 40% below 2005 levels.
3. The CHIPS Act has initiated large amounts of investment in microchip plants creating thousands of good paying jobs.
4. The infrastructure investment Act created thousands of good paying jobs while upgrading our transportation system, our ports, and our energy grid.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes: $284 billion for transportation needs, which includes repairing bridges and roadways, public transit and airports, electric vehicles and low emission public transportation; $65 billion for broadband internet; $73 billion for power infrastructure; and $55 billion for clean drinking water.

A Colorado jury on Monday found a former county election official guilty of seven charges connected to allowing a purported computer expert to copy election data from her office as Donald Trump and his allies spread false claims that the 2020 election was stolen and searched for evidence to prove it.
Tina Peters, the former Mesa County clerk, was found guilty on seven of 10 charges, including several counts of attempting to influence a public servant and conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation. She will be sentenced on Oct. 3 and could face prison time.

“Trump’s transparently false and really strange Truth Social post on Sunday that claimed “there was nobody there” at a rally Harris and Walz held last week at Detroit’s airport. In fact, as documented by news photographers and television crews, an estimated 15,000 supporters greeted and cheered the Democratic candidates. A crowd that size is hard to miss.“
He’s also having memory problems due to old age:
Trump said he remembers the encounter vividly because the chopper had mechanical problems and had to make a white-knuckles emergency landing.
The problem is that Brown says he never rode in a helicopter with Trump, period. And a different man — former California state senator Nate Holden — says it was he who once accompanied Trump on a chopper, bound for Atlantic City, that had to put down due to a malfunction. A former Trump aide who was also on that trip confirmed to Politico that Holden was aboard and Brown was not. Both men are African American; otherwise, they look nothing alike.

How weird is he?
He’s from a dysfunctional family in South Africa and he’s estranged from his father.
He used Canada as a stepping stone to emigrate to America
He’s had multiple wives and mistresses and a dozen children.
He used in vetro fertilization to have his first 5 kids that lived. Twins and triplets.
In 2022, the elder twin officially changed her name to Vivian Jenna Wilson,[509] reflecting her gender identity as a trans woman and using her mother's surname because she no longer wished to be associated with Musk.[509] Musk blamed the estrangement of his daughter on what the Financial Times characterized as "the supposed takeover of elite schools and universities by neo-Marxists", and has said that her gender transition is primarily what sparked his drive to "destroy the woke mind virus".
Vivian responded publicly, criticizing Musk for lying about her and the circumstances of her transition; claiming that Musk was "cold", "quick to anger", "uncaring and narcissistic”, whose infrequent visits commonly involved him berating her for being feminine.[513]
Great Dad!
His first divorce occurred after 8 years of marriage
In 2008, Musk began dating English actress Talulah Riley.[514] They married two years later at Dornoch Cathedral in Scotland.[515][516] In 2012, the couple divorced, before remarrying the following year.[517] After briefly filing for divorce in 2014,[517] Musk finalized a second divorce from Riley in 2016.
Totally normal and stable!
In 2018, Musk and Canadian musician Grimes said that they were dating.[521] Grimes gave birth to their son in May 2020.[522][523] Musk and Grimes originally gave the baby a name that would have violated California regulations as it contained characters that are not in the modern English alphabet,[524][525] which they then changed.[526][527]
In December 2021, Grimes and Musk had a second child, a daughter born via surrogacy.[1] Despite the pregnancy, Musk confirmed reports that the couple were "semi-separated" in September 2021; in an interview with Time in December 2021, he said he was single.[528][529] In March 2022, Grimes said of her relationship with Musk: "I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we're very fluid."[1] Later that month, Grimes tweeted that she and Musk had broken up again.[530] In September 2023 it was reported that the pair had a third child, a son.
What a weirdo.
In July 2022, Insider published court documents revealing that Musk had had twins via IVF with Shivon Zilis, director of operations and special projects at Neuralink, in November 2021.[535] They were born weeks before Musk and Grimes had their second child via surrogate in December. The news "raise[d] questions about workplace ethics", given that Zilis directly reported to Musk.[536] Their third child together was born in early 2024 via surrogacy.[537][2] Also in July 2022, The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk allegedly had an affair with Nicole Shanahan, the wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, in 2021, leading to their divorce the following year.
More weirdness
Apparently this guy can’t get women pregnant with his dick. It’s all IVF and surrogacy. Or maybe women can’t stand to be in bed with him.

Haley said Trump was “unhinged,” in February, before backing him at the Republican National Convention in July
These people had their reputations destroyed working for Trump. People like Jeff Sessions aka Mr. Magoo, Reince Priebus, and Mark Meadows who is under several federal and state indictments.
“no one has been more explicit in their dislike of Trump than Mark T. Esper, Trump’s other former defense secretary. He claimed in his 2022 memoir that Trump asked whether U.S. troops could shoot at civilian protesters, and suggested the United States secretly bomb drug labs in Mexico. And on the third anniversary of the attack on the Capitol he told CNN, “Yes I do regard him as a threat to democracy, democracy as we know it.” After saying on HBO on March 29 that he “definitely” is not voting for Trump, he said on CNN, “I’m not sure we can survive another four years of Donald Trump.”
