To be honest, I could not care less what #Trump admits or not
The chance that he is lying when speaking is almost absolute, we can think for ourselves and don't need confirmation from a madman
The sheer amount of lies is the actual problem, scandals, lies and distractions while he gets even richer of the massive corruption and most people scramble to get by
Trump is an example of the true worst of humanity

I just read that Trump is pushing to acquire Greenland again and making threats.

As a U.S. citizen, I can only shake my head in shame. To all of our allies and friends:
I'm so sorry! I didn't vote for him. I hope the midterm elections can make him a "lame duck".
I truly hope that the next presidential elections bring us a more presidential president.

RE: zirk.us/@CindyWeinstein/116874…
Considering what #MitchMcConnell did to prevent #BarackObama from putting #MerrickGarland on the #SCOTUS after Antonio Scalia died, it wouldn’t surprise me if the cretin from #Kentucky told his staff to keep his death secret until the #midterms decided his Senate replacement!
Governor #AndyBeshear should name his replacement effective immediately, unless McConnell proves that he is alive.

[Reposting a screenshot with alt-text]
Given everything else going on [waves arms] the fact Mitch McConnell is now a zombie politician helping to maintain the Republican Senate power base by blocking a disgruntled ex-Republican from running for his seat is just 'chef's kiss'.
This simulation is too over-the-top to be a drama. I'm convinced we live in a dark comedy written by fans of Doctor Strangelove.

So basically Mitch McConnell is a vegetable on life
support in the hospital rn and bc his wife fled to China
there’s no one with power of attorney to pull the plug or
give up his seat...
Which is likely by design bc if the seat were vacated
before August 3rd the election would become a special
election which would allow Thomas Massie to run as an
Independent and potentially win.
And the entire Republican Party is going along with
this sick charade bc they are wholly owned by a foreign
country who views Thomas Massie as a serious threat
to their power.

My note to Sen Schiff. I left messages w/Sen Padilla & Congressperson Chu. Please spread the word & let the fediverse know if you've contacted your reps.
Dear Senator Schiff,
Please do everything you can to find out if Mitch McConnell is alive, dead, capable of serving or not. This needs to be resolved before time runs out and a special election can't be held because of Kentucky rules. Do not let McConnell -- even in death or someplace in between -- continue his assault on democracy.
Never let these genociders rest.
Report: Hind Rajab Foundation has welcomed reports that Israeli genocider Itamar Ben-Gvir has cancelled his planned trip to NY for a UN policing conference.
He cancelled the trip following calls for his prosecution & planned anti-genocide demonstrations.
Israeli leaders have travelled the world expecting impunity. That expectation is beginning to erode.

This will probably be one of the most iconic photos of our time.
This is a picture taken by Reuters of members of the white nationalist group called ‘Patriot Front’ riding the metro into DC to march on the capitol for the 250th anniversary celebration of the United States. It was taken today, July 4th, 2026.
Those of us who rightly remember American history, we see only one true patriot in this photo, and she isn’t wearing a mask.
Only cowards wear masks. - Rev. Benjamin Cremer
