Rogers is a control freak! He won't even let me sweep out the garbage around here.

Your racist gibberish is ignorant and marked Offensive. Always has been.

Racist much? Or more the misogynistic jingoist Chauvinist type?

THIS thread story was already up per #2!

"Thanedar told Axios in a brief interview at the Capitol that there is "some communication" with Democratic leadership, but, "I didn't seek permission, I just communicated."

Asked about his Democratic colleagues' anger towards his efforts, Thanedar said Trump "has conducted unconstitutional activities. He has conducted impeachable offenses, and I had to do my constitutional duty."

- because there is no equality doesn't mean there is apartheid.

"The literature shows that since the end of apartheid racial inequality has declined somewhat, but increases in inequality within race have more than offset this. Despite momentous political change and formal legal equality, economic equality remains elusive for most South Africans."

Not a white guy in Mom's Basement. In a straight jacket.

Officially now a funny cartoon thread: (semi-Officially)

The Pink Panther - Rock A Bye Pinky

Curses, foiled again!

Trump has Ike's MIC banging on all cylinders, don't he?

"According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Rock Creek has been found to have "fecal contamination" from sewage and high levels of bacteria, including E. coli.

Despite the federal warnings and signs in the area detailing the risks, people have been known to still swim or wade in the water."

I'm speechless... no, really.

"Trump's 46 percent approval rating is lower than that of former President Joe Biden at the same point in his presidency. On May 13, 2021, Biden stood at 54 percent, with a disapproval rating of 42 percent, according to RealClearPolitics.

While Trump began his second term with his highest approval ratings to date, according to Gallup's first poll of Trump's second term, conducted between January 21 and 27, he was still less popular than any president since 1953 at the start of a term and the only one to begin with a sub-50 percent approval rating. Gallup said Biden started his first term with a 57 percent approval rating.

;;
"And, according to data compiled from Gallup by The American Presidency Project, Trump ranks far below other recently elected presidents after 100 days, dating back to Eisenhower, who had an approval rating of 73 percent.

Other recently elected presidents saw higher approval ratings at the 100-day mark, including John F. Kennedy, 83 percent; Richard Nixon, 62 percent; Jimmy Carter, 63 percent; Ronald Reagan, 68 percent; George H.W. Bush, 56 percent; Bill Clinton, 55 percent; George W. Bush, 62 percent; and Barack Obama, 65 percent."

DJT is no JFK in the public's eye.

No wonder Herr Musk is in hiding!

'Trump's Jet Pro-Quo'.... from the Daily Show.

"But... Oligarchs need tax cuts!"- said no sane person ever

- apartheid is over.

"Rowe noted his announcement comes as the Trump administration has otherwise all but frozen the refugee program, with Afrikaners among the few " and possibly only " people granted entry as refugees since January.

Shortly after he was sworn in, Trump signed an executive order that essentially halted the refugee program and stopped payments to organizations that assist with refugee resettlement " including, according to one group, payments for work already performed."

;;
"Trump freeze on resettlement funding leaves new refugees scrambling to adjust in U.S.

That change has left refugees " including Christians fleeing religious persecution " without a clear path forward and has forced the 10 refugee resettlement groups, seven of which are faith based, to lay off scores of workers while still trying to support refugees who had recently arrived.

Four of the faith groups have since filed two separate lawsuits, one of which recently resulted in a ruling that should have restarted the program. However, refugee groups have accused the government of "delaying compliance" with the court order."

They could be held responsible for producing Herr Musk... that would be fun.

"The stated reasons for [Trump's actions] are claims of victimisation, violence and hateful rhetoric against white people in South Africa along with legislation providing for the expropriation of land without compensation," read the letter from white South African religious leaders, which included among its four authors an Anglican priest.

"As white South Africans in active leadership within the Christian community, representing diverse political and theological perspectives, we unanimously reject these claims."

In addition to ties with Tutu, the Episcopal Church has a long history of advocating against apartheid in South Africa. It first began altering its financial holdings in the region in 1966, and by the mid-1980s, the church voted to divest from companies doing business in South Africa."

"The Church recognizes these witnesses " I am thinking of those who report on war even at the cost of their lives " the courage of those who defend dignity, justice, and the right of people to be informed, because only informed individuals can make free choices," he said."

This statement is yet another example of Pope Leo setting the tone, leaning into the Catholic social justice that his predecessor, Pope Francis, was known for. Leo has also called for a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to Israel's blockade on humanitarian aid to the territory."

Trump isn't real big on morals and stuff, so it's nice of the new Pope to mention what is about become a bigger issue in America; the President vs the Law, and the suppression of legitimate factual information.

Another thing he has no use for whatsoever.

I liked this headline I saw:

Swamp Monster Trump Accepts Qatari Plane

He IS the Swamp of corrupt Gov politicians; their absolute Hero.

This all must be confusing for Drumpf; people talking about all this, 'morality' nonsense.

Episcopalian Church just opted out of taking White Afrikaners into their relo program, by canceling much of the program, for this same kind of moral silliness.

Authoritarian Oligarchs don't do moral.

You know what happens when you fire and miss in the Old West, er, I mean Social Media against another big media name?

He still has a loaded pistola.

His YT channel vid from yesterday:

- this is more of a tactical retreat by the U.S

Yeah.... he was getting his fat butt shot off by the market, his Republican House who just killed a small piece of his Budget to protect themselves from a Blue Wave, and voters, who may or may not actually count in the future.

He won't have to bury Melania there; she'll fry away to nothing in the heat.

"China sees the U.S. trade deal as a huge win for Beijing
Published Mon, May 12 20253:28 PM EDT

After two days of negotiations with U.S. officials in Switzerland, the Chinese got the Trump administration to roll back its 145% tariffs, which had all but halted bilateral trade."
