#trump: "You're taking people's land away from them."

President #Ramaphosa: "We have not."

trump: "And those people in many cases are being executed..."

This demented fucker is doing the "they're eating the cats and the dogs," South #African remix

Tapper is now attacking Hunter Biden as “sleazy.” We see you, Tapper. We see all of you.

"We're the only country on the continent where the colonizers came to stay & we have never driven them out of our country," #Ramaphosa pointed out, after #Trump repeated #FarRight #ConspiracyTheories about a "genocide" of whites in #SouthAfrica.

Both Trump & Secy of #State #MarcoRubio have accused the govt of doing "terrible things" & expropriating white-owned land w/o compensation—something that has NOT happened.

Now that the US News Media has spent several days reminding us that Joe Biden is old, perhaps they'd like to address the deranged moron who thinks that "stage 9 cancer" is a thing and who isn't sure whether he's required to defend & uphold the Constitution.

If you haven't had a Covid booster in six months, I think you're eligible to get another one.
You might consider this, before the Republicans take away public health vaccines, which they're already doing.

Bribe accepted.

#Trump ambushes #SouthAfrica's president in fractious White House meeting

After a cordial beginning, where #Ramaphosa took pains to stress his desire to improve relations w/the #US, things turned #hostile. Trump repeated his false claims of a 'white genocide' in South Africa & then ordered the lights dimmed to play videos he claimed supported his allegation.

REPORTER: Is the president okay with this bill adding to the deficit?

#LEAVITT: “This bill does not add to the #deficit.”

Reality:

Independent estimates from the #Tax Foundation and CRFB say the “Big Beautiful Bill” could balloon the deficit by $3.3T–$5.3T over 10 years due to sweeping tax cuts.

The White House claims it saves $1.6T but the Council of Economic Advisers hasn’t backed that up with evidence.

Bottom line?

The math doesn’t lie. But apparently, the messaging does.

Trump admin lifts hold on offshore wind farm, doesn’t explain why
Reasons for the hold were never backed up, and nobody's explaining why it ended.

F.D.A. Poised to Restrict Access to Covid Vaccines (New York Times)

You'd never know reading the New York Times that charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver are nothing but an authoritarian attack. https://theintercept.com/2025/05/20/trump-prosecuting-democrat-mciver-ice-media

And that they are asserting that J6ers who Trump pardoned for attacking police were ALSO pardoned for prior drug and gun charges. This is not how you make police or the streets safer. It’s how you fire up a mob.
