    Fucking guy can’t even count, and yet passed three, count them 1,2,3, “cognitive” tests. Again, from Letter From An American:

    But Trump simply began the Iran war without consultation with Congress, and administration officials have refused to appear at hearings, instead briefing Congress behind closed doors. At an annual fundraising dinner for Republican members of Congress, Trump appeared to acknowledge he was violating the Constitution. He spoke of the “tremendous success” of what he called his “military operation” in Iran. He continued: “I won't use the word war ’cause they say if you use the word war, that's maybe not a good thing to do. They don't like the word war because you are supposed to get approval. So I will use the word military operation.” 

    Proud of your vote?

    $37 million to be exact. This hits home. Foreign steel as local (to me) steel mills are facing grim outlooks. Overtime has been restricted to an as needed basis. This doesn't effect only the Steelworkers, but their local regions as well. When Bobby doesn't earn extra wages, he no longer has the money to contribute to the local businesses as well.

    From Letter From An American. Real classy guy:

    And then, at 7:49 tonight, the president’s social media account posted a graphic video of a man killing a woman with a hammer. The screed that accompanied the video attacked Haitian immigrants, former president Joe Biden, and “the Radical Democrats in Congress.” The post echoed the usual vicious racism to which Trump turns to feed his base. But it is hard to miss that hours after his wife gave an unexpected press conference about Jeffrey Epstein, Trump posted a video of a woman’s murder.

    More background on the graphic post. I heard the dog whistle, did you?

    Trump posts graphic video of woman’s killing in Florida 

    President’s post on Truth Social is in keeping with a pattern of using shocking video to sow fear about immigration and justify mass deportation

    Besieged by questions about his war on Iran and his wife’s statement on Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump tried to shift the national conversation back to his immigration crackdown by posting a graphic, distressing video of a woman in Florida being killed last week by a man he described as an illegal immigrant from Haiti.

    The video, taken by a surveillance camera outside a Fort Myers gas station, showed a man identified by authorities as a Haitian immigrant using a hammer to bludgeon to death the woman, who was reportedly a clerk at the gas station.

    Trump’s decision to elevate such graphic images of a woman’s death by posting it for his millions of followers on Truth Social was startling, but in keeping with a pattern of using shocking video of violence attributed to undocumented immigrants to sow fear about immigration and justify mass deportation.

    In his State of the Union address in January, when Trump introduced the mother of Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian woman who was murdered on camera in Charlotte, North Carolina, last year, he dwelled on the gory images. “No one will ever forget the expression of terror on Iryna’s face as she looked up at her attacker in the last seconds of her life,” the president said as her mother wept in the gallery.

    Trump also tried to present those images as an argument against immigration, by falsely describing the North Carolina-born man arrested and charged with killing Zarutska as an immigrant. “She had escaped a brutal war, only to be slain by a hardened criminal set free to kill in America came in through open borders,” Trump said, incorrectly.

    The video that Trump posted on Thursday was originally surfaced bythe Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin on Tuesday, the same day Trump was threatening to commit a war crime by bombing Iran’s civilian infrastructure. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement that the suspected attacker in custody was “released” in 2022 by the Biden administration and given temporary protected status, although it is unclear whether that information is accurate.

    Trump has been trying to foment hatred of Haitians given temporary shelter in the US since his 2024 campaign, when he infamously made the false accusation that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, were “eating the pets of the people that live there”.

    The baseless conspiracy theory about Haitian immigrants eating pets was first popularized that year by JD Vance, the Ohio senator who became Trump’s vice-president. At the same time, Vance argued that Haitians who had a legal right to live and work in the US with temporary protected status should be considered “illegal” because the law had been abused.

    The administration’s efforts to remove temporary protected status from Haitians and other immigrants seeking safety has been blocked by multiple courts.

    The distressing video of the murder was first posted on social media earlier on Thursday by DHS, which slightly blurred the violent attack. The department has consistently used social media images to inflame anti-immigrant sentiment amid a sweeping crackdown that has also targeted legal immigrants, with a stated goal of deporting more than a quarter of the current US population.

    The Fort Myers News-Press reported last week the suspected killer, who is homeless, had attempted to withdraw cash from an ATM in the gas station and, after being unable to do so, demanded that the clerk give him cash. The following day he fatally attacked the clerk, who was an immigrant from Bangladesh, with a hammer, the outlet reported.

    When Trump shared the brutal video, with a long caption railing against what the president wrongly called “temporary protective status”, the video of the woman’s last moments was not blurred.

    Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, commented that DHS and then Trump shared the video “for exactly as vile a reason as you can imagine; basically Breitbart’s old ‘black crime’ vertical as official government policy. There hasn’t been an administration this openly racist since Wilson invited the KKK to the White House.”

    Reichlin-Melnick was referring to a section of the far-right website Breitbart which sowed racist hatred by focusing on violent crime committed by Black Americans and immigrants.

    In 2019, the journalist Michael Edison Hayden obtained more than 900 emails sent to Breitbart editors in 2015 and 2016 by Stephen Miller, who is now Trump’s main domestic policy adviser, urging them to focus on violent crimes committed by people of color and immigrants.

    $37 million to be exact. This hits home. Foreign steel as local (to me) steel mills are facing grim outlooks. Overtime has been restricted to an as needed basis. This doesn't affect only the Steelworkers, but their local regions as well. When Bobby doesn't earn extra wages, he no longer has the money to contribute to the local businesses as well. 
    Bobby shouldn’t have voted for trump.
    Bobby may not have voted for Trump. In this case, if Bobby = me, then in fact Bobby did not vote for trump.

    Believe me I get it. I work in the welding industry. I’m in and out of all sorts of plants and work shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of other trades. Unfortunately the Bobby’s like you and me in this cohort are highly outnumbered by the Bobby’s that voted for the guy.  Our demographic of generic blue collar working in the trades Bobby’s are much more likely to be in the voted for trump category than the have any amount of common sense and sanity category. End of the day most Bobby’s voted for trump and against their economic interests and got us here. Now we all pay.
