"Donald Trump's effort to restore American traditions"

Yeah! Like Racism, Bigotry, Jingoism, Misogyny, Homophobia, War Mongering, and Xenophobia!

Not to mention that New Republican Tradition, Pedophilia!

Or the GOP's love of Presidents who are lying convicted criminals; finger rapists and woman defamers, banking frauds and those who told their DOJ to illegally overturn a Pres Election!

Gotta love these great American Traditions!

"82nd Airborne Deployment to Israel Went Unannounced

A leaked deployment order shows that troops went to Israel, a detail omitted from Pentagon announcements about a CENTCOM deployment."

Does this meant that kids won't buy Trump phones?

I mean, what will Corporations do if they can't brainwash kids at an early age?

"Every parent can see it with their own eyes. Social media is making children unhappy," said Starmer, who has two teenage children. "I've heard first hand from families crying out for change and we will do right by them."

The move, expected to take effect early next year, makes the U.K. part of a growing global movement to tighten online safety for children. Australia, Canada, Brazil and Indonesia have introduced legislation or announced age-based restrictions or requirements for children's access to social media. France, Spain, Denmark, Thailand and South Korea are among others studying or developing similar approaches."

And... Nuttyahoo is not amused:

"The Iran deal is an American failure that endangers Israel

The senior American official distorted the truth in a briefing to reporters:

The centrifuges will remain, the enriched uranium will not be removed, and Trump himself contradicted him the next day.

Iran won on the money issue: Lifting sanctions on oil exports will channel tens of billions of dollars to the Revolutionary Guards, more than they earned by bypassing sanctions.

Senior US official to Israel: "You will not be a signatory to the agreement, but every action you take will have to be coordinated with the US."

"But even before we have the details, it is clear that Trump has failed to achieve every one of the goals he put forward for this war of choice, and now he is determined to sign, seal, and deliver America's capitulation as quickly as possible."

The Atlantic article at the thread link is mostly Paywalled, so here's another source for it:

"Equal Protection under the Law is a Constitutional guarantee in America, and when the moneyed elite become Corporate Oligarchs; buying politicians and Laws and Gov Contracts the way Musk and his ilk do, they are outside the bounds of the Law."

But the Cult don't need no stinking Constitution.... they have King Trump!

A LIE only Cultists could believe.

"Jared Kushner's new fund raises old questions

Kushner has spent the vast majority of his time since last summer on geopolitics, as a volunteer at the behest of President Trump. First on Israel/Gaza. Then on Russia/Ukraine.

And most recently a trio of meetings with Iran, prior to the war.
Affinity, meanwhile, has been operating as if it's business as usual.

Its 30-person team now has committed around 80% of Fund 1, including in the pending $55 billion buyout of video game giant Electronic Arts that also includes Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and Silver Lake.

On that deal, Affinity basically acted as the buy-side banker for lead investor Saudi PIF, which also is Affinity's anchor limited partner."

"Jared Kushner's ties to the UAE include a historic political milestone and lucrative private equity investments. He helped negotiate the 2020 Abraham Accords, normalizing ties between Israel and the UAE.

Since leaving government, his firm, Affinity Partners, has secured hundreds of millions of dollars in investments from UAE sovereign wealth funds Affinity Partners

.Key Business and Financial Dealings

Affinity Partners: Kushner's private equity firm raised over $1.5 billion from Gulf state backers, including the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and other UAE sovereign entities Affinity Partners.

Well, more of a 'man' than him.

It's almost funny... Drumpf gets a 2nd chance at a Negotiation, and treats it as if it's World Peace.

Iran's Leader is laughing all the way to the Bank.

- Did DOGE fire those guys?

No, they are running (ruining) Social Security now.

- what else could it be.

It could be that some people aren't out only for themselves, but are aware of the needs of others.... foreign concept for you, I know.

Of course, coming from, and planning to return to, one of the most Corrupt Countries in the world as you do, I can see, as can most people here, where your confusion (not to be confused with Confucius) originates.

Confucius taught that a person's worth is defined by their moral focus:

"Wealth and rank are what men desire, but if they can only be retained to the detriment of the Way, they must not be kept."

"To be wealthy and honored in an unjust society is a disgrace."

"The superior man thinks of virtue; the small man thinks of comfort."

"The mind of the superior man is conversant with righteousness; the mind of the petty man is conversant with gain."

- Confucius

Don't forget to turn over your DNA to the Elites in China who own the Security Services there when you Go Home.

"The deal was put at risk earlier Sunday after Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah traded blows in Lebanon. Israeli strikes in Beirut prompted condemnation from Trump, who warned Iran and Hezbollah not to strike back."

What they agreed to is for Trump to give Iran at least $25 Billion, NOT for a "Peace Deal" to end the war, but rather to stop the fighting long enough to come to the Negotiating table again, where everything is debatable.

It's his Birthday present to himself, and it's only cost taxpayers massive amounts of money to MAYBE replace the Obama Deal that DJT tore up.

"Lebanese officials said three people had been killed in Sunday's attack, which Israel said was on a command centre run by the Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it was in retaliation for "Hezbollah's launch of aerial targets toward Israeli territory" earlier on Sunday.

The latest Trump-Netanyahu spat comes less than a fortnight after the president reportedly called the Israeli leader "------- crazy" in a phone call.

It came after Israel resumed its aerial bombardment of Lebanon.

A source told Axios that Trump told Netanyahu: "You're ------- crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this."

Another source said Trump was "pissed" on the phone call and at one point shouted at Netanyahu: "What the ---- are you doing?"

Well, we know what kind of Birthday Card DJT likes to send HIS closest friends:

"Cory Doctorow

Dear Comrade Trump: On this, the occasion of your 80th birthday, I write to extend my sincere thanks for all the work you have done. After decades of deadlock, you have inspired the world to action! You have done more to de-dollarise the world than any American leader in history. Without you, there would be no way that Ethiopia would be revaluing its national debt in yuan. (more)

Jennifer Egan

Happy birthday, President Trump! By any measure, you have racked up a staggering number of accomplishments in your 80 years. You've managed to nullify the bulwark against fascism that our three branches of government were meant to provide.

You've transformed the presidency into an ---- of corruption and self-dealing that would make last century's robber barons blush. You've erased whatever goodwill and respect America commanded internationally, and ceded our relevance in the realms of science, medicine and climate technology for the foreseeable future.

You've elevated racism

and xenophobia into law, hobbled higher education and gutted women's rights. The sheer quantity and variety of your assaults has rendered your detractors punch-drunk, faced with a daily choice between trying to confront your lawless Hydra and maintaining some semblance of normal life so that our kids will believe they still have a future."

Dear Donald Potus on your birthday.
Hair is wispy,
Skin's gone crispy,
Now you're 80,
Don't be so hatey."

It's SO hard to know where the stupid stops and the lying starts with Trumpers:

"Epstein case was an open investigation under Biden
The Epstein case was an open criminal investigation during the Biden administration, Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie K. Brown explained on social media.

Brown's extensive reporting since 2017 has shone a light on the crimes of Epstein and his longtime accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Her book about Epstein, titled "Perversions of Justice," is a New York Times bestseller.

"They had an open grand jury. ... And even after Maxwell's conviction, the case was on appeal " anyone in law enforcement knows you don't open your case file when it's still under appeal," Brown added.

Victims were still going to the FBI with information during Biden's term, but that changed when President Donald Trump's Department of Justice reviewed the files and closed the case in July, Brown said."
