"Collusion with Corporate Elites: Instead of nationalizing industries, Ortega has formed a close, mutually beneficial alliance with Nicaraguan business leaders, favoring pro-business policies in exchange for political backing.

Authoritarian Consolidation: His government has severely repressed democratic freedoms, dismantling political opposition, violently cracking down on protestors, and declaring an end to future elections.

Social Conservatism: Ortega's administration has adopted socially conservative stances, including the implementation of a total abortion ban and the suppression of feminist and LGBTQ+ groups."

- Russia conspiracy.

Which was thoroughly Debunked by the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee Investigation.

AI is actually SI; Simulated Intelligence... "it mimics human reasoning through statistical pattern recognition. Instead of possessing actual awareness or understanding, it relies on complex algorithms to predict the next logical output based on massive datasets.".

He only has eyes for Vlad!

MAGA is splintering over things like Forever Wars and Hidden Epstein Files.

And Republicans had already split into Lincoln Project patriots and Trump Cultists.

Our Corporate Oligarchs, with all their wealth and power, are looking much like stressed out Russian Oligarchs these days.

Additional yachts may not really be worth meeting Madame Guillotine.

Just sayin'.

I remember having my new-fangled 8 track cassette player, and several albums, stolen out of my '67 Firebird.

One of the albums was, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", and when the Fuzz were taking the Theft report, one of them asked me, "In a goddam what?".

- forced to use "reconciliation" because they don't have a 2/3rds majority.

Yeah, but see, the Parties are the same!

Oh, wait... maybe they aren't equally evil; maybe one of the only two choices is, often enough to support them over the ONLY other choice, not quite so abomibable, eh?

Shot her from behind as she walked away?

Definitely a Trumper. A wonder that he hit her, though.

Perhaps DJT has a friendly competition going on with Vlad... who's winning at the moment:

"Russian troops survive just 20-30 minutes on Ukraine's front lines, CIA director says"

Meanwhile back in Russia, where gas lines are as bad as in Crimea... State Propaganda Media is eating itself:

"July 20 is the birthdate of music legends, including the late Buddy Knox (1933), Carlos Santana (1947), Paul Cook (1956) and Stone Gossard (1966). It's also the anniversary of a timeless song's release.

Dylan's signature song was covered by many other legendary musicians and bands, including Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones (fittingly, given the song title), Green Day, Michael Bolton and Nancy Sinatra."

"Bob Dylan with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Al Kooper at the Newport Folk Festival 25/07/1965

This was the second of three songs in the famous 'Dylan goes electric' controversy at Newport, played right after 'Maggie's Farm', and before 'Phantom Engineer'.

He then left the stage and came back to play two more songs on an acoustic guitar."

"Spain Humiliates Trump After He Refuses to Get Out of Victory Photos

Donald Trump presented Spain's World Cup team with the trophy ... and then refused to leave.

Trump handed the World Cup trophy to Spain's team alongside FIFA president Gianni Infantino, after they beat Argentina 1-0. But the U.S. president then refused to leave the picture, apparently trying to run out the clock before the traditional trophy lift by chatting with the players as he jockeyed for a prime position in front of the group.

Spain's team, however, was not having it. Video footage of the historic celebration captured several players politely pushing Trump away as they prepared for their official photograph."

Well, he's certainly not going to blame his Lard God Trump, who lied about going after the most dangerous criminals.

50 people have died in Custody, and what, 10 or so murdered in the streets?

Not to mention all the people deported to poor, squalor-ridden dangerous prisons in other countries.

This it the 'Murica Trumpers voted for!

More lame Whataboutisms, same lame source.

The only reason 1Nut hasn't been deported is that Nigeria does have SOME Standards!

BJ wants someone to be strict with him again.

And Courts? Kings don't need no stinking Courts!

"A report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies published in May estimated it will take until at least 2030 to restore the U.S. missile stockpile to prewar levels, leaving a multiyear "window of vulnerability" for the United States in potential future conflicts.

Since that study was published, the United States has only continued to execute military strikes, and Trump's war against Iran has racked up a total estimated bill of more than $100 billion.

U.S. Central Command said that the latest series of strikes had "successfully hit Iranian military coastal surveillance and air defense facilities, maritime capabilities, and missile and drone storage sites."

Iran also claimed that the U.S. attacked a nuclear power plant in a "dangerous assault on Iran's peaceful infrastructure."

So far, at least 17 American service members have been killed in the war."

Apparently it's hard to count on those tiny fingers... with that deluded brain.

He's like Visitor, but with a queue.

- "federal law bars political campaigns from coordinating with outside entities"

One wonders what part of that fact 1NeuteredChinaboi doesn't grok?

- Also what is wrong with just returning the $10M if it comes from a source you have been critical of?

You should ask someone to please buy you a clue:

"In a statement, Talarico spokesperson JT Ennis said the campaign "has no control over contributions to any super PAC," noting that federal law bars political campaigns from coordinating with outside entities." in #17

I thought this was about DJT's Secret Service Code Name?

US announces another troop death
The U.S. military said the service member was killed in Iraq during the "controlled detonation" of a downed Iranian drone.

Thinking that allowing Corporate Personhood, Money as Speech, and Billionaires owning politicians... isn't thinking at all.

Trumpers are such flunkies.

"Russia launched 41 missiles and 125 drones across Ukraine overnight, according to the Ukrainian air force. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said most of the missiles had targeted the capital.

U.S. President Donald Trump has said he is prepared to grant Ukraine licenses to produce Patriots, the most effective means of intercepting Russian ballistic missiles, potentially bolstering Kyiv's defenses. However, the details and timeline remain unclear, and full production could take years."

Orange Nero twiddles his tiny fingers as Vla continues his long-held passion for targeting civilians.

Trumpers estatic!

One might easily assume both Russia and China have reason to aid Iran's authoritarian Gov: Iran is a perfect Tar Baby for the US to get stuck in in the ME... yet again.

And easily done, as we have the perfect sap in the WH more than willing to get stuck.

Noteworthy.

As is the fact that Rand modeled her 'superman' on serial killer William Edward Hickman, as he, "represented an "amazing picture of a man with no regard whatsoever for all that a society holds sacred" and praised what she saw as his bold, individualistic consciousness."
