"A lot of thoughts spring to mind in relation to this, but at the very forefront, one question: do the US’s evangelical Christians, who overwhelmingly support Trump, have a red line and if so, can they find it with both hands?I’m stating the obvious but it’s worth raising again, if only to boggle at the sheer shamelessness of a religious community that has thrown in its lot with Trump."#Trump #WhiteEvangelicals #WhiteChristianNationalists #bible #PerformativePiety/5

Trump’s post on social media came shortly after the #US #military seized another tanker associated with the smuggling of #Iran #oil.“I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot & kill any boat, small boats though they may be...that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz,” #Trump posted. “There is to be no hesitation. Additionally, our mine ‘sweepers’ are clearing the Strait right now.”“I am hereby ordering that activity to continue, but at a tripled up level!” Trump wrote.

If you suspected #InsiderTrading by the #WhiteHouse, you were right: https://x.com/gothburz/status/2047148829917528134That's my kind of evidence - from someone in compliance who monitors the trades. And yet nothing is done. Massive #corruption: $2.1 billion in two months Who could do an investigation, Follow The Money? #uspol #trump #oil

@wdlindsy FWIW, one of the common ways by which an authoritarian followers recognise the authoritarian leader is, they perceive him [sic] to be a special kind of man who "can do thing not permitted to mere mortals". Immorality is often explicitly a feature sought for in the Führer, although authoritarian streams have varied substantially in what kind of immorality is expected and what kind is unacceptable.Historically, though, acquired visible deformities have been a far higher barrier to one's ability to maintain one's status as an authoritarian leader than anything that the leader might do. Some Byzantine emperors even made a point to mutilate the face of their predecessor and/or rivals rather than outright murdering them. (And some first murdered, then mutilated. "Overkill? What's that?")

So we always have to rely that somebody stops him? The next times, too...? Just take the nuke codes far away from this maniac, PLEASE!..."Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson alleged on a podcast this week that US President Donald Trump wanted to use the nuclear codes against Iran during an emergency White House meeting, but that he was stopped by General Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Johnson described the interaction as "quite the blow up." It comes as concern mounts over the US president's unpredictable behaviour, as many lawmakers voice doubts about his mental state."https://www.france24.com/en/was-donald-trump-blocked-from-using-the-nuclear-codes-against-iran-1#uspol #iran #Trump

@wdlindsy I need to see him below 30%. Every new poll shouts “new low” but for months it lingers in 32-36%…

@cartoonmovement @Cassandra this really captures the revulsion I feel about the current US administration. Thank you.

@HamonWry @MelissaBearTrix or if a Family Member would just punch him in the dick

@HamonWry oh, and it is just starting. I just got notice from 3 factories I work with in Asia that they experience supply chain disruption and skyrocketing transport cost and therefore need to raise prices.

@Nonilex His approach has strong “You can’t fire me, because I quit!” energy.

No, US doesn’t have a president, that’s a lie from media. They never had, they have a King, probably the best King in the world.Fake news are so common today, and especially from media#shitposting #kingofamerica #trump

Middle East War UpdateTL:DR Trump started a war he doesn't know how to end and the economic consequences will be with us for years to come And for some reason, his supporters still think he is a genius 🧐The Strait of #Hormuz remains closed, disrupting 20% of global oil supply. Brent crude has surged past $112/barrel. The OECD now forecasts US #Inflation hitting 4.2% this year. Expect higher gas, food, and fertilizer prices. Airlines are squeezed. Interest rate cuts? Forget it. The Fed is boxed in.A conflict that started overseas is about to land in your grocery cart.#trump #iran #StraitOfHormuz #idiocracy

It's about time a major news organization starts covering this. Trump's cronies are making money off of his insane actions.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cge0grppe3po#USpol #InsiderTrading #Trump #Iran

@wdlindsy If you look at it from a paedo-adjacent movement position, it makes sense that they want more pregnancies. More kids to choose from to abuse. ***Shudders***They all need put in the bin.

@wdlindsy oh if only those pesky interests wouldn't fight with each other, then "conflict of interest" wouldn't ever be a problem! I joke, but that really does seem to be the currently accepted approach to analyzing a person's conflicts of interest: if they're working for the government and doing business at the same time, it's fine so long as the obvious conflicts of interest are classified as "potential". Jared Kushner might be the Second Coming for all we know! then all of his interests would be harmonious, presumably

@wdlindsy What I find most fascinating about these stories is how easily a guy like him could just have milked the job and built a comfy nest egg without making waves. Like it would have been stupidly simple to just have fun and not become an obvious weirdo
