You may be able to fool mainstream media, but we are not buying your bullshit!&#8221; </p><p>We also answer the question as to how or whether we will welcome our Trump voting friends and family in? Do we? Can we? We also want to ask our audience, &#8220;what should accountability look like?&#8221; We believe that there needs to be accountability in the official enablers and accomplices of the corruption and criminality, but what about personal accountability for those in our lives who betrayed everything that we stand for?

Does he really think that he can strong arm countries into sanctioning Iran (looking at you, Russia) when they have completely thrown away any leveraging power that the US once had? Just as a reminder, Trump and Bibi NEVER asked for international permission nor support before attacking Iran. But now, they think that they can strong arm the same international community to help them get out of this fucking shit show that we are now in? Meanwhile, EVERY FUCKING THING here in these streets is exponentially more expensive and fuck all if you have an unexpeted emergency!

What is it about conservative voters in general and Trump voters in particular that when they think that it is about hurting others, they are all in, but then they are shocked when they learn that they themselves are not exempt from feeling the pain. What makes them think that they are so untouchable, superior and privileged over other people. Could it be the media bubble that they have been living in by buying the narrative that they are superior to the people that they love to hate and the weaponization of hate by playing on the fear factor that &#8220;those people are why you are struggling&#8221;?

He didn&#8217;t run on waging war with Iran, but here we are! On today&#8217;s TBP Daily, Anita and I go over the disaster that is on full display. Because of Donald Trump and the Republicans, the US is nearly out of it&#8217;s stockpiles, the Strait of Hormuz is closed which means shortages of fertilizers, which means that there will be shortages of produce, which means that in addition to gas prices continuing to climb, the cost of food and imports are going up. This is all on top of the already high costs of everything because of Trump and the Republicans disastrous Tariff war. If that isn&#8217;t bad enough, we have lost all respect and credibility internationally. We as Americans can only watch in horror as the world that Trump and the Republicans set on fire burns. </p><p>Meanwhile, we are watching strong democratic candidates emerge from their midterms, so as long as we can get record turnout in the midterms by doing everything in our power to help gain majorities in both the house and the senate, we will be able to once again have one of the branches of government fulfill their role as a co-equal branch of our government by upholding the oaths that they took to the Constitution of the United States of America by acting as a check on this out of control Executive Branch. We all must come together and elect democrats regardless of where they fall on the spectrum.

With millions of Americans having multiple jobs and still struggling to afford the day to day necessities, never mind saving for any unforeseen emergencies or down payments for houses, do the Republicans really think that the American people are going to care more about their interpretation of the history of our country than electing leaders who want to safeguard their rights and protections mandated by The Constitution? We know that they think that we are just that stupid, the question is are we?</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[And You Get Testosterone...

With all of the levers of power, including the agencies that are responsible tor conducting investigations into foreign interference and election security and enforcing the laws are the same people who are continuing to keep Trumps big lie going. Tomorrow night, Trump says that he &#8220;has a big announcement&#8221; regarding &#8220;election security&#8221;. We have reason to be concerned about what he plans to announce. He is a pathological liar who, along with his army of sycophants in MSM and in power, push conspiracies that have been proven wrong. They conflate the evidence based conclusions regarding the 2016 election reported in the Mueller Report to the lie of the &#8220;stolen 2020 election&#8221;, despite the fact that 61 court cases were thrown out for &#8220;lack of evidence&#8221; of election interference as evidenced by the testimony of cyber security expert, Chris Krebs and our intelligence agencies.

His two faced treatment of President Biden and betrayal of his so-called best buddy, the late John McCain. Lindsay&#8217;s legacy is one of shame. His attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election by heading to Georgia to do the bidding of traitor in chief, Donald Trump which potentially. We cannot and should not white wash his story. He should be a cautionary tale to anyone who tethers themselves to vile men. Anita and I don&#8217;t sugar coat it. We are not interested in cleaning him up in order to come together and move on. He should not be celebrated and it would be dishonest and disingenuous to create a story of a man that never existed.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[We Regret the

We go over the massive hypocrisy, double standards and complete delusion when they project what they're guilty of onto others. Their projection is confession. Meanwhile, the list of Democrats who previously endorsed Platner have wasted no time to pull their endorsements. Yet, Donald Trump a 34 count convicted felon, insurrectionist, adjudicated rapist, and credibly accused sexual assaulter and pedophile has their complete support as they work to cover up the Epstein Files that Trump is mentioned in thousands and thousands of times&#8230; Plus, we discuss the blowout by Belgium against the US Mens Soccer (Football) team after the top player for the US was issued a red card eviction rendering him ineligible to play in last nights game. Butt Baby Donald Trump, because he can&#8217;t keep his shit stained hands off of anything, made a call to FIFA fuck buddy, Gianni Infantino to overturn the red card penalty, which outraged and infuriated not only the International community, but also fair minded US citizens. BTW: The last time a red card penalty was overturned was in 1962! He keeps on humiliating US on the world stage and we&#8217;ve had enough!</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
