Now, comrade, I'd vote for him or any Democratic Socialist member of the party early and often. Fuck the Democrats being the GOP-lite. If there's only going to be two parties in this shit-ass system, let's take over this party like MAGA did the GOP.

All thanks to 6 years of Trump's fascist wannabe rule.

Putin and Xi salivating as Bill Pulte is apparently firing our intelligence community

Posted by ATL User icon on July 3, 2026, 11:29:48, in reply to "Week of June 29 Current Events Thread"

BREAKING on MS NOW:

Dozens of intel officials have started receiving notice of their terminations under Trump's unqualified acting DNI, Bill Pulte.

The individuals are officials "who they believe are deep state" and whom leadership claims have not provided complete pictures of available intel.

Trump is also trying to get a master spy list.

Posted by larue33 User icon on July 3, 2026, 13:36:36, in reply to "Putin and Xi salivating as Bill Pulte is apparently firing our intelligence community "

President Trump wants a master list of every foreign intelligence target, including potential recruits and people that U.S. agencies suspect are spies.

The New York Times reports that the White House, through the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, has asked federal intelligence agencies to turn over these names, alarming officials who fear that it would compromise operations or be misused. So far, senior counterintelligence staff at the CIA and FBI have resisted the demands, according to the Times.

“We are old and tired and just want to be taken care of.” - Republican voter, Dec. 2024.

Not sure why I did this to myself, but I read an interview by Ezra Klein of Christopher Rufo

Posted by larue33 User icon on July 1, 2026, 17:23:56, in reply to "Week of June 29 Current Events Thread"

a couple of days ago. Rufo did say he didn't like Trump's crypto adventures, maybe there is some other corruption. Maybe it wasn't good to accuse Haitians of eating pets, but somebody probably did eat a pet somewhere. And all Somalis might not be criminals and terrorists, but most of them probably are, so it's ok to say that.

The really important thing is that Trump crushed DEI and made the world safe for White men again, so he gets a pass on everything else. Somehow I still find it a little shocking that people are willing to say shit like that publicly and proudly,

A lot of people don't know the really interesting twist to all of this.

Details are staggering.

Posted by gullit User icon on July 1, 2026, 13:34:14, in reply to "Everybody knows this was happening but still jarring to read it."

President Trump reported a financial windfall in annual disclosure documents, including more than $1 billion in cryptocurrency income and tens of millions from new foreign real estate deals since re-entering the White House.

Trump reaped a staggering $635 million from sales of his free-floating $Trump meme coin — launched three days before he took office last January — via his company CIC Digital LLC, according to his 2025 disclosures released Tuesday.

The documents list more than $236 million in additional income from selling the WLFI cryptocurrency tokens through World Liberty Financial, the company founded by Trump, special envoy Steve Witkoff and their sons in 2024.

He reported a wide range of additional income sources, including $4.7 million from Trump Watches royalties and even $208,486 in sales of a patriotic version of the Bible.

Trump, 80, is estimated by Forbes to be worth about $6 billion — up from $2.3 billion in 2024, indicating he dramatically increased his personal wealth while in the White House.

This is a church in Lexington, KY, a skit presented at Vacation Bible School for young children. You will see men in military camo type dress carrying what are apparently paintball guns, who repeatedly shoot someone who is supposed to represent Satan. As he writhes on the floor under the assault, the preacher leads the children in a chant of 'take him out, blow him up.' Which they proceed to do.

Thought it had to be fake, but there is also a video from the preacher expressing his astonishment that anyone is disturbed by the skit, which they've apparently been putting on for years.

A nun from the Rio Grande Valley who was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement over the weekend has been released.

Sister Letty Ugboaja of Our Lady of Sorrows Church in McAllen was reportedly detained by ICE while on her way to Sunday Mass. Ugboaja is part of the Daughters of Mary Mother of Mercy congregation.

The church brought attention to Sister Letty’s detainment in a social media post Sunday afternoon.
