Someone wrote this to his MAGA friends. I disagree with the working brains part. They have no working brains. A note to my friends who still back Trump:
I am not here to dunk on you. I am writing because you have a working brain, and this story insults it.
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool got a $14 million paint job. Shortly thereafter, the water turned green and the new "American flag blue" coating started peeling off the bottom in sheets. Trump says vandals did it. He claims, without evidence, that someone took a knife and cut a 300-foot slit, a number that grew to 350 feet while he was still talking.
Back on May 4, Trump bragged about that same coating and said, if you had a knife, you could not even cut it, so strong, like powerful rubber. He cannot have it both ways.
And the green water?
A George Mason scientist tested it and found ordinary, non-toxic algae, the kind that blooms in any shallow sunny pool. To fight it, crews dumped hydrogen peroxide into the water.
Hydrogen peroxide is also a paint stripper.
That, not sabotage or vandalism, is the obvious reason the paint came off. They wrecked their own paint job, then blamed phantom vandals for it.
The lone "vandal" they paraded is a 67-year-old Olympian who touched a flap of paint already peeling on its own.
Here is the thing. If they will look you in the eye and lie about something this small, something you can see with your own eyes, ask yourself what else they are lying to you about.
Again, you have a working brain. MAGA is counting on you to stay loyal instead of exercising independent thought.
Prove them wrong. |

Behold the next country that’s been “attacking the USA for the last 47 years”. Israeli media have expressed concern over Egypt's growing military capabilities, particularly in the Sinai Peninsula.
Israeli officials are closely monitoring Egypt's military modernization, acquisitions, and development programs.
Some experts believe Egypt's military growth exceeds the needs of its conventional security concerns along its borders.
There are uncertainties about Egypt's strategic intentions and the potential implications of its strengthened military.

You guys are gonna learn soon what kind of man Trump really is Speaking with Sunday PUNCH on Saturday, Hayab said only victims of insecurity and Christians in Nigeria could determine whether there had been any meaningful improvement in the security situation, stressing that killings and abductions were still occurring across the country.
Hayab described Trump’s statement as a political claim based on misleading information from advisers who did not understand the security situation in Nigeria.
“The right people who should tell whether Trump has succeeded should be Nigerian Christians or Northern Christians, not Trump himself. But probably he is getting his information from the wrong source. I think some of his political claims are not good enough to resolve things.
“Trump should allow the victims to make that confession, not him. The victims are the right people who can tell whether whatever he has done has yielded any success,” he said.
While acknowledging recent US military operations targeting terrorist elements, the CAN chairman said the intervention had not translated into an end to attacks on innocent Nigerians. |

Thank goodness we have good food and beautiful landscape in America. What would’ve been our redemption during this World Cup? Even our famed hospitality as the melting pot of the world came under thread at the hands of his and his cronies. Now they want to take credit for the visitors who are having a good time as if they hadn’t first insulted the whole world.
The president is a criminal who is not respected by anyone. The people in his circle are two-faced hypocrites who are there for a leg up and not because they actually like or respect him. I know he and his followers know that. They can’t be delusional enough to think people support Don out of principle. Look at what the players in the world cup are chanting about him in public.
Is this the respect they say the world is giving him? Embarrassing.

LMAO WOW: Trump stormed into a closed-door Senate GOP lunch and called Republican senators "losers" for voting to limit his war powers in Iran. What happened next was remarkable.
Sen. Bill Cassidy stood up and fought back. "You have not told the American people what's going on," he told Trump directly. "It was supposed to last four weeks. It's lasted four months. Our original objectives have not been achieved."
They got into a screaming match in which Trump called him a “lunatic.” The rest of the GOP sat there quietly while Trump "talked and talked and talked and talked," according to Cassidy.
Trump also brought up Cassidy's primary loss — which Trump caused by backing his opponent after Cassidy voted to convict him over January 6.
Then, less than 24 hours after the Senate passed a war powers resolution reining in his Iran war, Republicans appeased him. They held a late-night do-over vote and killed it, 50-47.
Cassidy was quietly invited to the White House for a private briefing with JD Vance. He came back and flipped his vote. Rand Paul voted "present" to "give the President more space," which is one way to put it.
Trump called the outcome a message to Iran.
The Senate then left for a two-week recess.

Rantings of a deranged lunatik basilico: I'll educate you.
Obama spied on Trump campaign in two stages. Stage 1. NSA as revealed by Snowden collects metadata on every American .Phones, geo location, emails, bank account,travel , everything etc. Thats a well known fact. FBI gave at least 4 individuals access to this database to dig up dirt on Trump. Common suspects are the law firm that paid off Steele dossier ie Perkins Coie ( Marc Elias) , Neil Ohr ( whose husband was Bruce Ohr and worked as assistant AG National security division at the DOJ), and possibly Glen Simpson founder of the firm Fusion GPS that hired Cris Steele. The NSA director general in April 2016 discovered thousands if not millions of unexplained searches on Republicans especially Trump and shut the contractors access to that database
FBI now needed a FISA warrant granted by a judge to access the database. At this time around May 2016, Hillary under her email investigation plotted to paint Trump as Putin puppet to divert attention. FBI instead of investigating Hillary opened Crossfire Hurricane on July 31,2016. Obama was briefed by Brennan about the plot on August 3, 2016. In August 2016 FBI attempted to obtain a FISA on Carter Page, a Trump campaign consultant was a Russia plant but they lacked any justification.
Stage 2. FBI and DOJ then used Cris Steele pee dossier to lie to the FISA court that Trump campaign was coordinating with Russia. Full surveillance of Carter Page granted on October 21st 2016 and continued till mid 2017 with FISA renewals being granted by judges every 3 months. Whoever Carter Page talked to or associated with was also fully surveilled. Implies Trump himself was being spied on, Everything from phone calls,email literally the most intrusive surveillance.
So Watergate is a drop in the ocean compared to the evil
Hope that clears the matter about JD Vance comments.
The rest is history.After Trump win the IC community did everything to get rid of him leading to impeachment, 2020 steal,jack Smith, assassination attempt,etc. All to protect themselves . |

Translation: "Watergate is just another Tuesday for us". Well, he has a point. when you compare Nixon to Trump it makes Nixon look like an angel. And In Nixon's day, Congress still took its constitutional responsibility seriously. Vice President JD Vance is now praising former President Richard Nixon's legacy and suggesting that the Watergate scandal would have little political impact today, saying it's "crazy" it ended his presidency in the first place.
Speaking at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, Vance said: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."
Nixon resigned from office in 1974 as the Watergate scandal unfolded, becoming the only U.S. president to resign. The scandal involved a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and a subsequent White House cover-up that ultimately led to bipartisan calls for accountability. |

Secret spies parading the pool looking for scapegoats to pin his incompetence on. And all for touching the water of a public pool? Wouldn’t it be amazing if they put this much effort into investigating the Epstein files? Or even helping to improve American citizens lives?
And somehow the cameras and security caught the people touching the water, but definitely missed someone climbing in with a knife to cut a 350’ slit?

They always think they know better than the experts until they mess up and have to have their mess fixed Pentagon Reinstates Mandatory Flu Shots Nearly 300 Recruits Fall Ill at Air Force Boot Camp
The Pentagon is bringing back mandatory flu vaccinations for all new military recruits after a flu outbreak at an Air Force boot camp in Texas sickened nearly 300 people.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made the flu shot optional in April, citing medical autonomy and religious freedom. But on Wednesday, the Pentagon confirmed that all military boot camps will once again require the vaccine for recruits.
The change comes as a three-week outbreak at Lackland Air Force Base has led to 275 confirmed flu cases. Officials said the decision to restore the requirement was not related to the outbreak, explaining that exceptions allowing mandatory vaccinations had already been under review.
According to a source familiar with the situation, only about 40% of recruits at Lackland chose to get vaccinated after the shot became optional.
Military officials say close living quarters, limited sleep, and the intense nature of basic training make boot camps especially vulnerable to the spread of illness. |

Foreign Affairs › Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by cococandy(f): 1:39am On Jun 24 |
basilico: To o be honest I don't understand exactly these details. I'd like to compare this IPO to say Aramco or others . Anything the media pushes ,I just cannot trust a single thing from them especially when they have targeted Elon Musk right now. I have not taken a firm position on the SpaceX IPO apart from knowing it's not the current revenue streams that drives investors I to buying Elon Musk controlled stocks The facts you need to know are that the rules were changed overnight to accommodate their company for mass public investment (the kind you get with IPOs) when they otherwise were not yet qualified for it. Talk about DEI for the billionaires. If you’re waiting to hear it from Trump or Elon before you believe, ask yourself why that is. And ask yourself why any of them would be inclined to tell the truth about it. I wouldn’t care if all investors were willing informed consensual investors. Afterall most of it is some sort of gambling anyway. You win some. You lose some. And that’s a risk people willingly take when they invest. For employer managed funds, people invest passively because they’re assured their money is being invested for them in time-tested funds and companies that have followed all the financial rules to the T. But that not the case here and that’s why there’s controversy. But you can’t sincerely say that you don’t see the issue with backyard dealing of that nature. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by cococandy(f): 1:23am On Jun 24 |
basilico: You are upset pension companies are buying into Elon Musk companies. If there's evidence of fund managers being coerced , that should be dealt with under the law. Just my thoughts Changing the rules specifically to accommodate spaceX and then buying up their stocks with people’s 401k and pension funds when they had no idea this was happening is unethical. It’s like saying “let’s follow the law” but when someone powerful is about to do something against the law, you chance the law two weeks prior to the date they informed you they’ll break the law so that they officially “didn’t break the law anymore”. I know you people are Elon fan boys. But even you can see how dirty this is. And when people lose their funds you’ll say nothing illegal happened. Therefore they can’t complain.

I’m not here to argue if you believe in him or not. Investment should be optional especially if they’re going to do it in the backyard manner that they just did. That’s my grouse. basilico: So it's still trading at the IPO offer price . Investors bought into SpaceX shares many hoping for a quick buck ,many in for the long haul. I do believe there is a term like market correction. Long term investors believe in Musk pulling off his crazy ambitions . Starlink. I have ISP experience ,I wondered how it would be any threat at all to ground based fiber. Today governments, airlines and shipping companies are dying to get onboard .Starlink generates huge business for SpaceX which has bigger dreams. Tesla. It's no longer a car manufacturer ,it's more of a software engineering one. It's robot Optimus set to debut in Mars .
Investors bank their money on Elon. Those in for short term will weed themselves out. |

folake4u: Last week, I wanted to buy this stock when it was at $192 but the market had closed for the day.
I'm not a fan of Elon but I think it'd bounce back. Fingers crossed. The problem is people who have workplace managed retirement accounts didn’t get a choice whether to buy it not. Their money automatically got invested in it. I can stomach a loss on a choice I made. Not one that was made for me. Especially after rules have been bent and twisted to make it happen.

SpaceX has wiped out 900+ billion in market value in just two weeks of their IPO. Now they’re already having to take out debt through a 20 billion round of bond sales.
If only someone had said something…. Oh wait 🤦🏽♀️.
This is just the beginning though. More scams to come. No one can do anything because anyone that can hold them accountable has been gotten rid of.
According to Elon fan boys, Let him cook. Or something like that.
If you don’t agree to lose your 401k/pension to this scam, you’re just jealous.

This pope is elite. I feel like this message is especially relevant to conservatives and of course hyper-religious Nigerians who don’t understand that there are more important components of morality than sexual conduct. We have an insane number of lying, corrupt, cheating, child abusing/molesting, fraudulent and unjust group of people amongst us, who think they’re more morally upright than others just because of sexuality. Pope Leo emphasized that morality should not be reduced to s*xual issues alone, arguing that there are far greater ethical priorities such as justice, equality, freedom for men and women, and freedom of religion. He stressed that these core values should take precedence in moral and social debates, highlighting a broader and more inclusive understanding of ethics beyond personal or private conduct.

Obama and men like him still give me hope for manhood.
The example Trump sets is that it’s okay to cheat on your pregnant wives, have porrrrn stars service you while your young family are home by themselves. Import international escorts who are best friends with child trafficking gangs.
If your first wife complains too much, she falls down the stairs and gets buried in an unremarkable spot in your golf course. Now said golf course is a considered a cemetery and you are tax exempt for that property. Now she’s quiet and you get to make money from her corpse too. Do all that and call it savvy business by a conservative family minded Christian man.
He’s everything that’s wrong with manhood. No wonder he appeals to the degenerates among men.

You know the black man should’ve taken personal responsibility by not being outside. What was he doing outside when he ought to be indoors as a black man.
