    “With the war it’s just artificial, it’s a little bit high, it’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They could take out a city. Let ‘em take out Los Angeles. Let ‘em take out San Diego,” Trump said, drawing cheers from the crowd. “This is a very small price to pay and it’s going to be over very soon. It’s essentially almost over with.”

    Every time I think my faith in humanity couldn’t be shaken further, I find ways to be surprised.

      It’s a crowd that would actually go to a Trump rally in 2026. Don’t hinge your faith in humanity on self selected bad people.

        Is anyone doing any kind of facial recognition on any of the shots of the crowds that get out? Any bets on how many in the crowd are part of the traveling circus?

        We should be tracking every person who still attends a Trump rally. They are future terrorists.

      I’m not sure why some palaver from a Republican event would affect your feelings about humanity - there’s no humanity involved.

      Am I the only one who thinks that maybe he accidentally disclosed their October surprise?

      Could this government be planning something for No Kings protests on October 17th?

          The guy wants to be putin, and the administration demonstrated multiple times they have no issues with killing Americans.

          Epstein himself wrote:

          recall ive told you " i have met some very bad people " none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body… so yes- dangerous

          And fucking Epstein was a monster himself.

          Your assumption is good for judging people we don’t know, but we know him very well. During the pandemic he found a way to enrich himself. During Venezuela he bombed fishermen (never provided evidence to the accusation) so he liked innocent people only to create excuse to amass Navy in that region to do the operation. And now that dust settled all of our was to basically steal their oil.
