Very droopy on one side; that does make one wonder, especially given the lack of visibility and rumours from the other weekend...

 

 

 

 

Remember when Trump made fun of a disabled journalist and the whole MAGA laughed?

 

If anyont makes fun of Trump now, MAGA will cry out "You have no compassion."

 

Again, two standards, or none.

The NY Times - Opinion - Trump’s Policies Are Endangering Your Health  (unlocked link)

 

Sept. 12, 2025

 


President Trump has turned Make America Healthy Again into one of his administration’s signature promises.  

 

By several measures, the United States is the world’s least healthy high-income country.

 

As is so often the case with Mr. Trump, however, he has both identified a real problem and enacted a set of policies that will worsen that problem. 

 

His administration is rejecting basic medical knowledge and turning back the clock to an era when people were sicker and died sooner. ...

 

Here’s what they’re doing:  [headings only]

 

1. Exposing Americans to preventable diseases
2. Making a future pandemic more deadly
3. Eliminating future cures
4. Dirtying the air and water
5. Taking away medical care

I have only one thing in common with Melania: I simply wait patiently. 😁

"Tyler Robinson and his family don’t look like trans liberals to me.

Tyler’s family is registered republicans

His father is a minister and former law enforcement

They have family members in the military.

Oh and Tyler’s parents introduced him to weapons at an early age."

In the time between the murder and the capture of the assassin Tyler

Trump on Fox & Friends on Friday morning, the US president was asked what he intended to do to heal the wounds of Kirk’s shooting in Utah.

“How do we fix this country? How do we come back together?” The Fox News show’s continued that there were radicals operating on the left and right of US politics.

Trump: “I tell you something that is going to get me in trouble, but I couldn’t care less.

The radicals on the right are radical because they don’t want to see crime …

The radicals on the left are the problem – and they are vicious and horrible and politically savvy.

They want men in women’s sports, they want transgender for everyone, they want open borders.

The worst thing that happened to this country.”

Moulton shares death threats after calling on Trump to condemn all political violence: The Hill

Representive Seth Moulton (Democrat Massachusetts) said he’s received threats over his Thursday statement urging the Trump administration to help cool the nation’s political temperature after the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

“My office has received an extraordinary number of violent and graphic threats yesterday and today from right-wing individuals online and over the phone—directed toward me, my family, and my staff—after I pointed out the simple fact that President Trump should join [House] Speaker [Mike] Johnson [R-La.] and other level-headed Republicans in condemning political violence, not inciting it further,” Moulton wrote in a Friday statement on social platform X, with a screenshot of hateful comments under his social media posts.

The Massachusetts Democrat said the “solution” to political disagreement in America is “never violence.”

“It should be easy for everybody to say that,” he told his followers, urging GOP lawmakers to condemn violence “just as I and many other Democrats condemn violence by the left.”

Gavin Newsom started a Podcast. On 7/3/25 his first guest was Charlie Kirk. 

 

 

 

Gavin's 13 year old son's enthusiasm for Charlie was a big reason for him to interview him.

 

 

 

This video gave me the impetus to learn more about Charlie Kirk and MAGA. Gavin and Charlie are having a calm, good natured and robust conversation enjoying laughs together about the big issues.

Yep, you know that. It wasn't them who set fire to the Reichstag, it was the opposition or the yellow star or (insert whatever fits here).

My son would NEVER hold my hunting rifle (under my supervision) in such a way that the barrel of the weapon (whether loaded or unloaded) would be pointed at a person. If this happens during a routine inspection of weapons in accordance with firearms legislation, e.g. when handling them from the safe, you can hand in your licence straight away.

Pity Kirk's views on abortion and transgender people (amongst other things) weren't so robust.

 

Can you please provide a TL:DR overview of the video you linked to? Again we have a video but no real reason of why we should watch it. I have no doubt Kirk could be polite and friendly when it was required of him, but that doesn't change the fact he held some pretty extreme views on a number of topics.

 

I guess what I'm trying to say is I would like you to "sell" me on why I should watch this video, as opposed to "I watched it and it changed my life!"

AlterNet - 'Total sociopath': Trump buried for abrupt pivot from Kirk murder to White House ballroom 

 

12 Sep 2025

 

 

 

Social media appeared horrified at how easily President Donald Trump blew past the assassination of MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk to praise an incoming $200 million White House ballroom.

 

Hours after Trump exploited Kirk's assassination to stoke war against the left, Trump couldn’t stop changing the subject from Kirk to White House construction.

 

How are you holding up over the last three and a half days?” asked one reporter ...

 

I think very good,” said Trump. “And by the way, right there you see all the trucks? They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years. And it's gonna be a beauty. It'll be an absolutely magnificent structure.” ...

 

The people of the United States elected a total sociopath (again),” said one critic on X. “Literally cares about no one but himself,” while another posted, “Trump can’t even pretend to care for 5 seconds.”

[as per Kirk's widow]: "Mr President, my husband loved you. And he knew that you loved him too," she said tearfully, also thanking Vance and his wife Usha for accompanying the casket back to Arizona.

 

I guess the orange buffoon didn't love Charlie back as much as Charlie loved him? 🤷‍♂️
