The Regime Everyone Wanted to Topple Just Rebranded Itself Trump got to talk regime change, the Iranian state got to wrap itself in the flag, and a women’s soccer team ended up demonstrating the whole scam in real time.

Trump Just Pardoned Ticketmaster When No One Was Looking The Trump DOJ settled with Ticketmaster, while state enforcers said they'll continue. The judge is mad, the parties showed "absolute disrespect for the court, for the jury, for this entire process."

If you think the global leadership didn't know this would happen, you're naive.

Two known war criminals, with warrants for their arrests, have now expanded their wars.

They all knew.

They did nothing to prevent this.

The American government is the worst of it, as far as complicity.
Shameful.

HE CHEATED.

I question the intelligence of anyone saying this is false and voter suppression.

He's Putin's Puppet, and corrupt Russia has infiltrated our government on every level, and in both parties. The sooner we admit this problem, the sooner we can start fixing it. Until then, we are f****d.

With a Prolonged Pause, Where Are China's Launches? Holidays, failures, and politics are all parts of the answer.

It's been over three weeks since a Chinese rocket flew into orbit, with previous failures, politics, and a national holiday being the joint cause of a prolonged pause

Gas prices spike across US amid Iran war • Pennsylvania Capital-Star Americans are paying more for gas Monday as the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran chokes off a significant route for roughly one-fifth of the world’s petroleum products.

In Pennsylvania, the average price for a gallon of regular gas is $3.58, according to AAA. That’s 11 cents higher than the national average and up 46 cents from a week ago.

Only 17 of 67 counties are below the national number.

Right now, Iran is firing off hundreds of CHEAP missiles and drones (that can be quickly manufactured) every single day, and most are being shot down by VERY EXPENSIVE interceptor missiles. These interceptor missiles are difficult to produce, and in short supply.⬇️

I do need the American people to stop viewing Trumpism as blunderous policy failure.

It is a full court press to subjugate you into poverty and despair. There is no witticism or gotchya or logical superiority that can combat that.
