"What makes Thiel's apparent doubts about America so notable is their timing. On the face of it, it's never been a better time to be Peter Thiel in America.

His political network is all but running Washington.

His protege JD Vance is vice president, serving President Donald Trump, whom Thiel backed in the 2016 election.

Members of the "PayPal mafia," the group of influential executives and investors tied to the payments firm, have had prominent positions inside the White House, too.

"Meanwhile, Thiel's companies are selling contracts to the Trump administration like hotcakes.

In the first quarter of 2026, Palantir reportedly took in $687 million from government contracts, much of it serving the Trump administration's homeland security and immigration agenda.

In March, defense tech firm Anduril, another part of the Thiel network, inked a 10-year deal with the Army worth up to $20 billion."

Trump responds with 500+ word rant:

Oops! Wrong thread... this rant is about the Kennedy Center.

DJT posts 500+ word rant in response to this ruling:

Ukraine forces near the Strait got another drone hit on a Russian ship there.

"The US Navy has been ordered to break the Hormuz Blockade, and an evacuation has been ordered for the surrounding areas near to the Strait and within.
US NAVY ORDERED TO BREAK HORMUZ BLOACKADE, RUSSIA WAR ON EUROPE!

"The US is still talking about a possible deal which is only "hours away," which has led to oil prices falling from their highs, but for only for a short time.

Meanwhile an Iranian officer was killed in Qeshm, and a drone has allegedly been shot down near the island.

Dmitry Medvedev, has stated that Russia is in a state of war with Europe, and they need to sleep with one eye open. Meanwhile Putin and other Kremlin spokes people have tried to run interference, saying the drone is not theirs.

Ukraine has been putting down Russian supply trucks even further in the land-bridge area, and have been pushing the Russians back slowly on the southern front."

"Thiel has enjoyed his time in Argentina so far, sources told The Times, finding common ground with the country's president over their shared disdain for taxes, socialism and progressive politics.

Milei described a recent meeting between the two positively, saying they both view "taxes as theft," Newsweek reported, citing the Buenos Aires Times."

Argentine President Javier Milei has explicitly stated that he and tech billionaire Peter Thiel share the exact same philosophy, describing both of them as "anarcho-capitalists"

Ah... Theil doing what Adolph's Oligarchs did when the ---- hit the fan... move to Argentina.

Figures, he's a big fan Nazism, particularly the Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt:

"US President Donald Trump will only make a peace deal with Iran if it meets all his conditions, a White House official tells AFP after the US leader huddled with aides to discuss a possible agreement.

"The Situation Room meeting has concluded and lasted approximately two hours. President Trump will only make a deal that is good for America and satisfies his red lines," the White House official said on condition of anonymity.

"Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon."

Ah... just one more reason Trump Hates Judges!

They always bring up this, 'Law' stuff. It's like SO ----!

This same Big Ugly Bill killed at least 700,000 kids in Africa, most of whom died of starvation, also to pay for tax cuts for DJT and his fellow criminals.

Trumper are obviously quite proud of their death tolls, whether it's Iranian school girls, African children, or Americans of various sorts suffering.

- accused at least six prior men of raping her

She never said that:

"However, the specific narrative that she "accused six prior men of raping her" is a misleading distortion of her account. In these publications, the six incidents detailed a range of misconduct rather than six separate accusations of rape."

"E. Jean Carroll still terrifies Trump

Justice Department efforts to rewrite history show #MeToo still matters

But Trump can't let it go, and he has tied the 82-year-old Carroll up in appeals courts, where he continues to make shameful and dishonest accusations against a woman he has already been held liable for defaming and assaulting.

He continues to insist she lied, even as he once veered very close to admitting he did it by falsely saying she enjoyed being assaulted.

Now the Justice Department, which has grown even more flagrantly corrupt under the leadership of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche " who served as Trump's private lawyer during both of Carroll's trials " has opened a criminal investigation into Carroll."

;;

"There's a strong chance this investigation will lead nowhere. Trump's Justice Department has already developed a reputation for bringing baseless, politicized cases that fall apart in court but still serve to appease the president's sadistic aspirations.

The logic is haywire: Not only is Trump reminding the public about E. Jean Carroll's accusations, the case could be as doomed as the recent phony charges the department has brought against former FBI director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The reported investigation into Carroll is about more than the president's bottomless narcissism. It's part of a larger, ongoing backlash against the #MeToo movement."

aka starving and dying.

" In a Truth Social post on Friday morning, Trump laid out the main elements in the deal that he wants to emphasize and seemingly suggested he was about to accept it.

He stressed Iran must agree that "they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb."

He claimed the Hormuz Strait must be immediately open without tolls, for "unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions." He noted Iran will complete "the immediate removal and/or detonation of any mines that are left" in the strait.

"Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted, may start the process of "heading home," Trump wrote."

"Between the lines: The MOU states that Iran will agree to negotiate on its nuclear program, but does not include specific concessions.

Fars claimed Trump is trying to "project a fabricated victory" and is "distorting" the MOU's text. The sources Fars quoted claimed that after the U.S. blockade is lifted, Iran will reopen the strait "according to arrangements it determines itself" and that could include "monitoring and inspection of ships, the provision of services, and security measures."

Fars also claimed Iran would receive "immediate payment of $12 billion" in frozen assets" and that no further negotiations would take place until the money was paid.

U.S. officials claim Iran would only receive frozen funds as part of a final nuclear deal.

Fars also said the MOU includes a ceasefire in Lebanon "in accordance with Hezbollah's position." U.S. officials said the deal would include a ceasefire in Lebanon."

- Since the Democrat members of the oligarchy don't want CU reversed it won't be.

"While a large majority of ultra-wealthy megadonors and billionaires do back the Republican Party, the broader American oligarchy encompasses wealthy individuals who fund both major political parties.

Data indicates a partisan split among the richest Americans

Republican-leaning billionaires: Historically and in recent election cycles, the majority of the top 100 wealthiest Americans who actively engage in federal campaign spending have favored Republicans and conservative causes.

High-profile tech and business moguls like Elon Musk have become significant financial backers of the Republican party, advocating for deregulation and lower taxes on capital gains.

Traditional conservative donors like the Koch family network also play a prominent role in funding GOP-aligned candidates and policy groups"

"Like I'm saying even by MAGA 2026 standards Kim Paxton sucks. So naturally he won the Republican primary in a landslide and now moves on to the general where he will face every godless lefty's favorite church boy, James Talarico.

Talarico seems to be that rare breed of Christian who tries to live in
a Christlike manner. He believes in things like empathy, unity, compassion, uplifting the downtrodden.

So, you can see why Christian conservatives think he's the devil and must be stopped."
