Most Americans agree on the majority of policy issues.... what divides us are mostly the social and cultural issues that the Elites pay politicians to keep in the media and keep dividing us.

Divide and conquer is as old as the world.

"Armed with billions by the mortal enemy of the demos " the oligarchs and corporations " the political elites, Republicans and Democrats, destroyed the careers of those politicians who resisted.

They crushed labor unions. They blacklisted honest journalists and consolidated the press into the hands of a handful of corporations and oligarchs.

They slashed regulations that constrained unfettered greed and protected the population from predatory corporations and environmental toxins.

They passed legislation that created a de facto tax boycott for the rich " Trump famously paid no federal income taxes in 10 of the 15 years prior to his presidency " while stripping the country of its industry and throwing some 30 million people out of work.

Wealth is no longer created by producing or manufacturing. It is created by manipulating the prices of stocks and commodities and imposing a crippling debt peonage on the public."

"These traitors, ensconced in the leadership of the two ruling parties, stripped us of assets and power slowly. They used subterfuge, lies and legalized bribery.

They pretended to honor electoral politics, checks and balances, a free press and the rule of law while subverting all of these democratic pillars.

That old system, however flawed, was hollowed out. It was turned over to the amoral and the idiotic " look at the Supreme Court or Congress " those willing to do the bidding of the billionaire class."

Trump's just trying to arm the Cult.

There should be a gold barreled Trump Model AKs avail on the WH and Post Office sites, Chinese-made, complete with, "My Daddy Trump" stickers.

Also, a Heavenly Special Sale in the, "Office of Faith"!

Gotta Keep Them Micky D's Comin'!

Ketchup Market is through the roof right now in the WH!

Of course, they too have an 'anarcho-capitalist' in power there.

I've been thinking that the Argentine Alps might be a nice place to sit out the coming Apocalypse.

JC, after all, did say that when 'the abomination appeared' that we should, 'head for the mountains!".

And the Abominable Orange Man seems fit the bill.

Trump is playing 1D chess, and getting his butt whipped by what would normally be considered checker players.

Horseshow theory is more about tactics than substance:

Origin: The concept is largely attributed to French writer Jean-Pierre Faye in his 1972 book Thorie du rcit: introduction aux langages totalitaires.

Criticisms and Alternative Perspectives

Ideological Differences: Critics argue that although the tactics may be similar, the core beliefs and goals of the far-left (e.g., communism) and far-right (e.g., fascism) are fundamentally different.

Over-simplification: Some analysts argue that the horseshoe theory oversimplifies complex political dynamics and overlooks the nuances within ideological movements.

Mixed Evidence: While observations of authoritarian behavior often support the theory, it is not universally accepted in political science as a precise model for all political behaviors.

Excellent point. No one predicted his two term success.

But then, he's a guy, and as Michelle pointed out, this country isn't ready for a strong woman.

I hope AOC becomes Speaker, though, at least.

These 'people' have gone along with racist redistricting, ICE terrorists, war mongering and war worshipping, Trump Family and Friends Financial Scams, 100's of thousands of African children starved to death and healthcare ripped from Americans... and a whole lot more.

No one should think they are going to stop now; they'd rather be dead than wrong.

Trump Thanked the 'Great American Patriots' Behind His Golden Statue.

They're Crypto Investors Selling a Meme Coin Called $PATRIOT

Updated Sun, May 10, 2026

The statue was not commissioned by the government or the Republican Party. It was financed by a group of cryptocurrency investors promoting a meme coin called $PATRIOT.

They paid sculptor Alan Cottrill $300,000 for the bronze figure, $60,000 to wrap it in gold leaf, and $150,000 for the rights to use the statue's image to market their token. Before Cottrill had even been paid in full, the group was already using images of his work to promote the coin online.

He sued them for copyright infringement.

The prayer circle, the clergy, the blessing, the phone call from the president of the United States. All of it, for a crypto promotion."

And the guy walking behind him just watches and then keeps on walking calmly along.

The next guy at least steps up and distracts the assailant away from the nun.

"Iran seeks to end the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon, where Israel is fighting the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group, and to ensure the security of shipping, its state TV said. Washington's latest proposal addressed a deal to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and roll back Iran's nuclear program, an issue that Tehran would rather discuss later.

The White House had no immediate comment about Iran's reply but U.S. President Donald Trump on social media accused Tehran of "playing games" with the United States for nearly 50 years, adding:

"They will be laughing no longer!"

Now you've gone and done it! Denial paragraphs incoming!!

Wow... this is a HOT thread, lol!

You mean no one believes him?

AOC wasn't necessarily talking about running for the Presidency; she may well be talking about House Leader or another position.

If Michelle is smart enough to know, as she said, the country isn't ready for her, it's certainly not ready for AOC.

The best electable Dem option would be Obama, who's gone more public recently with the Mid Terms coming up... if only he could run again.

He might even be humble enough to go VP, but he's indicated Michelle might have him neutered if he did anything of the sort.

Love the headline... and Rick Wilson nails the article.
