All those tax dollars going towards Trump’s war in Iran could pay for public healthcare, with enough money left over to build a Ballroom at every school to protect our kids.

Three panel meme
Panel One: Black and White photo of Richard Nixon at the White House Helicopter, waving and the words "I AM NOT A CROOK" written above
Panel Two: Bill Clinton at a podium with the US crest behind him, hands outstretched like he's grabbing breasts . Caption reads: I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT WOMAN"
Panel Three: Screencap of the CBS 60 Minutes interview from last night where Donald Trump states: "I AM NOT A PEDOPHILE"
"Nobody in the history of American politics has weaponized incidents of violent crime to turn them into political capital like Donald Trump. His campaign’s use of the incident in Butler, PA as well as the Laken Riley murder in sick and perverse ways were instrumental in returning him to the presidency."

"Now he’s is using the incident at the WHCA dinner to justify his deeply unpopular ballroom monstrosity.
Trump, members of his admin, Republican members of Congress, as well as right-wing TV hosts, podcasters and influencers went on a full-court propaganda blitz today to use the latest incident to justify not only construction of the ballroom, but even a demand to have taxpayers now foot the bill."

"He lies. And the press corps accepts it.
This dynamic is a part of strategy that's gotten clearer since Saturday. Instead of using the shock of violence to bridge divisions between Americans, the president is enlisting the press corps in creating a reality with which to divide us further."

"The Republicans love to gaslight the public into believing that the Democrats are inciting violence when they tell the truth about Trump. In fact, it's the president who is the greatest source of incitement. That his life has been threatened three times should be proof enough."

"Yet the press corps plays along, accepting Trump's claims uncritically – he was told to get down when he actually fell; Cole Allen is ant-Christian when he is actually deeply Christian – as if the constant mainlining of deceit into the body politic is not going to bring tensions to an even higher boil."

"He is an adjudicated rapist. Ask the New York state courts or the judge who presided over the E. Jean Carroll trial.
Maybe next year — or in the next few weeks, should Saturday’s dinner get rescheduled — the White House press corps could wear pocket squares printed with one of Trump’s many criminal indictments. It wouldn’t heal the hurt, but it would be a better demonstration of the First Amendment’s power and strength."
~ Gary Legum
"Press trust is in the basement.
Per the most recent Gallup polling, only 28% of Americans say they have 'a great deal' or 'a fair amount' of trust in newspapers, TV, and radio. That’s a record low. ...
A black-tie dinner where journalists eat with the people they cover isn’t how you fix that."

Harry Truman (in office 1945–1953) historically had the lowest overall approval rating, at 22%.
The fact that Donald Trump’s overall approval is not yet that low, despite everything, is insane.
Wichtig... ich habe gerade ein Posting rausgehauen in dem Macron gesagt hat, dass die USA keine Ueberflugerlaubnis fuer Militaerjets in Richtung Israel bekommen.
Das Dingen war ein Fake und jetzt ratet mal, auf welche Quelle ich mich verlassen habe? #Trump 🙈
Sorry, dafuer. Hier die Story 👇
"#Trump walks into May with the rare earth truce expiring in six months, the DFARS deadline arriving in eight, the Manus precedent setting origin-jurisdiction as enforceable doctrine, and consumer sentiment at forty-nine point eight, the lowest reading in survey history.
The #Manus unwind cannot be enforced.
The Manus unwind does not need to be enforced.
The Manus unwind is the #MaySummit agenda.
#Beijing wrote it first."

Trump on 60 Minutes 4-26-26 saying I am not a Pedophile
"For a decade I have been following the twists and turns of Donald Trump’s America with the privilege of journalistic distance. On Saturday night I felt the darkness come viscerally close. ...
The past 10 years have witnessed a shooting at a congressional baseball practice, a deadly white supremacist march in Charlottesville," (continued in /2)
~ David Smith
(continued from /1)
"the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol and the killings of the former Minnesota house speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the rightwing activist Charlie Kirk. Political violence is rampant and on Saturday, in a fancy Washington ballroom, Trump and the media glimpsed the edge of the abyss."
"My first thought wasn’t shock.
It was recognition.
Because I had spent the better part of this Saturday documenting exactly how we arrived at a place where something like this could feel — in the most sick and twisted way imaginable — not just possible but almost inevitable."

"There is a close relationship between Trump and violence — not just the attempts on his life but also the violence he’s unleashed on the world, the violence his ICE and Border Patrol agents have caused inside America, the violence he has incited among his followers."

"When the president was asked at a press briefing late Saturday why he’s been targeted by several attempted gunmen now, Trump said he’s 'studied assassinations,' and they often target 'the most impactful people' and 'the big names.'
'I hate to say I’m honored by that, but I’ve done a lot,' he said. 'We’ve changed this country, and there are a lot of people that are not happy about that.'”

"He also used the shooting to promote his ballroom (bunker) and MAGA, of course, blamed 'the left' and said this is why Congress should fund DHS, and by extention secret service.
Unfortunately, STAGED was already trending on Twitter before we received all of these details."

"The problem with having a criminal President who promotes conspiracy theories, incites an insurrection, & lies habitually about everything and is enabled by an entire political and media movement that does the same is that after a while, people don’t believe him and create their own narratives."
"Trump took to the podium a little after 10:30. Referring to the threat of a shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner—which has never happened before—he said: 'I will say, you know, it’s not a particularly secure building, and, uh, I didn’t want to say this, but this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we’re planning at the White House.'"
~ Heather Cox Richardson
"'It’s actually a larger room, and it’s much more secure. It’s got— It’s drone proof. It’s bulletproof glass. We need the ballroom. That’s why Secret Service, that’s why the military are demanding it. They’ve wanted the ballroom for 150 years for lots of different reasons, but today’s, uh, a little bit different, because today, we need levels of security that probably nobody’s ever seen before.'”
"In response to a question about why Trump thought attempts on his life happened so frequently—a reminder: there is as yet no information about what the man’s plan or motives were—he responded that assassins come for 'impactful people' and boasted of how much he has done for the country."
"The old media order dressed up for a banquet and discovered that its own credibility was on the menu. ...
They showed up to preen and party anyway.
They put on gowns and tuxedos, smiled for cameras, and clinked glasses. They feted the president who has made attacking them central to his political identity. They feted the president who has made attacking them central to his political identity."

"The whole grotesque spectacle was supposed to be a celebration of press freedom. Instead, it became a case study in institutional self-abasement.
Then came the shooting. ...
Both last night and this morning, these journalists congratulated each other all over social media for rushing to the White House to cover their own assassination attempts. They should hang their heads in shame instead, based on what happened inside the briefing room."

"We must not allow the corporate media nor even members of the Democratic elite to bully us into not asking questions. While the facts surrounding the shooting are still being gathered as I write this on Sunday morning, there are many questions raised that demand answers.
For starters, we should be suspicious of any and everything involving Trump."

"At a press conference back at the White House, Trump claimed he felt 'everyone coming together' before the shots were fired and called for unity in response to the gunman’s actions. But Trump has spent a decade exploiting every possible fault line to divide Americans."

"He has incited violence against members of the media at rallies, and he kicked off the celebration of the United State’s 250th anniversary in Des Moines, Iowa last July 4th by declaring hatred for Democrats and others who would not support his dramatic cuts to nutrition assistance and healthcare."
"There can be no denying that violence surrounds this regime. …
We also need to recognize that there was violence in that room last night long before shots were fired. And the reporters who had gathered to mingle with members of the regime, for a night that I suppose, in their view, represented a mix of entertainment and obligation, were, by showing up, helping to normalize trauma, suffering, and death on an epic scale."

„Klinische Tests ohne Genehmigung, autonome Autos ohne Auflagen, Kernreaktoren und Nuklearenergie ohne staatliche Überwachung und eine Sonderwirtschaftszone, in der es kaum Steuern zu zahlen gibt und auch die Rechte von Arbeitskräften außer Kraft gesetzt werden. So stellen sich zahlreiche Chefs der Big-Tech-Unternehmen und US-Investoren die Zukunft vor – von Peter Thiel bis Sam Altman und Marc Andreessen. Donald Trump soll es möglich machen. Schon 2023 hatte er im Wahlkampf davon gesprochen, solche Freedom Cities in den USA zu ermöglichen.…“

Interessante Hintergründe zur militarisierten, digitalen Überwachungsindustrie und Milliardärskartellen um Palantir, SpaceX, Thiel Capital und Co.. Die systemische Analyse könnte zwar ausgefeilter sein, die Netzwerke und autoritären Ideologien werden aber gut beleuchtet.
Während diese Entwicklungen derzeit vor allem in den #USA stattfinden, fasst Palantir auch in #Europa immer mehr Fuß. In #Deutschland sind es vor allem die Partei Die Grünen und die Union, die dem Einsatz von Palantir-Überwachungstechnologie auf Länderebene immer weiter den Grund bereiten.
