(Ron Filipkowski) Once again, Mr. Thin Skin, the irrational being in the white House, strikes again. This is the rationale, the REAL reason for why Trump, the ignorant one, struck back at Italy. Such a dope he is; incompetent, childish, doesn't belong on the planet...anywhere.
(Ann Telnaes) Trump and his WAR; he is bored. (Click on drawing once to enlarge.)
(E. Wolf) Previously, Trump depended upon white non-college voters. Not so much now: a NET 44-point NEGATIVE swing, from Feb 2025 to May 2026. (Click on image to force it bigger to read.)

(Ann Telnaes) Marvelous and right on the "money"... Thank you, Ann. @anntelnaes.bsky.social substack.com/redirect/903...
(TIME) List of the countries that Trump has assaulted, invaded during his second term: (2025) Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Iran, Caribbean & Pacific Ocean, Syria, Nigeria, (2026) Venuezula, Iran. NINE separate attacks, EIGHT different areas. Appalling when you list them. time.com/redesign/_ne...
(Contrarian) Thought I would add a picture to the dialog to state my position. FWIW. substack.com/redirect/61c...

(S.Beschloss) Yes, Steve, this will define the Trump years; the best image of him, lost, clueless, thinking about himself, out of touch with his surroundings and others. Just a matter of time before his dementia takes over. @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social substack.com/redirect/48b...
Stunning thoughts by Mister Rogers. Worth hanging on the refrigerator door for sure. scontent-ord5-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-...
Excellent post of a quotation from Lindon Johnson. Would someone in the White House please put this quote on a picture board and help Trump understand? Thank you for your service. www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...
This one is old, but I thought it was timely and valuable.... scontent-ord5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-...
(Meidas) The manufacturing sector has lost 42K jobs sine April 2025...four months. With the slope of the curve plus the effects of tariffs, higher prices, businesses will be shutting down job openings. Thanks Trump. substackcdn.com/image/fetch/...
Perfect Refrigerator Shot. How about them apples, Putin and Trump. Sure looks mighty weird with Russia breaking the truce every time. Time for MASSIVE PENALTIES WITHHOLDING BILLIONS OF RUSSIAN FUNDS. They will pay attention then. scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-...
(Guardian_US) "Nearly 8 out of 10 of US respondents (Including 70% of Republicans) fear that Trump's tariffs will increase the cost of everyday good." substack.com/redirect/502...
(GALLUP) Trump's rating is the lowest of his second term and continues to decrease for all except Republicans. Just wait, some of them will join us when the pain gets too extreme. (Click on the middle of the graph and it will show larger.) substack.com/redirect/77a...
And as would be expected, a significant stock market drop today post-market, after the release of the third of three downgrades of the US by credit agencies: cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_ful...
