By Late 2026, the Trump Impeachment Parade Set to Begin Anew

The man-child - Donald Dumb - is an avowed criminal, twice-times impeached with a sordid record of sexual abuse, cheating on his taxes, and seditiously trying to overturn the results of elections.

Impeachment does not necessarily lead to him getting booted out of office, because the House impeaches, then the Senate holds a trial where the Senators' vote may or may not lead to the kick-in-the-ass move to oust the criminal out of the White House. Luckily for Trump, the entire Republican establishment in the Senate, including non-MAGA moderates, is so terrified of the Mafioso-in-Chief that they never voted to boot him out. I assume many of them are regretting their cowardice, and some of even are even showing some spine now that Trump's star is beginning to fade.

Should the House fall back again in the hands of the Democrats (The Senate remains a question mark), it is expected to begin a series of impeachment investigations for all of Trump's crimes (illegal financial profiting, nepotism and cronyism, targeted killings, violations of due process in vicious and inhumane immigration sweeps....). The miserable psychotic imbecile is 80-years old. He probably will use an "insanity plea" to weasel himself out of trouble. 

But if the Senate also falls into the hands of the Democrats, the 2/3d majority vote requirement could again save the racist white trash christian nationalist mongrel. But many Republicans by now hate his guts and see him as a political dead-end that nearly destroyed the Republican Party. 

So keeping our hopes high, a Senate vote in favor of his eviction from the White House will be a (using the dumbass's own hyper-superlative language) A FIRST EVER IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE US AND THE WORLD SINCE RECORDED HISTORY THAT NO HUMAN OR ALIEN HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE, because no US president has even been removed from office after his impeachment. Three presidents including Trump (twice impeached), Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were impeached by the House but survived the Senate vote. Richard Nixon, a radical right-wing Republican criminal precursor of Trump, cowardly resigned before his impeachment. He "voluntarily" removed himself from the White House before impeachment, which Trump might also do.

Let the parade begin after next November.

Donald Trump Faces New Impeachment Threat As Democrats Target House Majority

House Democrats are considering launching investigations into President Trump's financial dealings and connections to private companies, contractors, and financial entities if they win the majority in the upcoming midterm elections.

Donald Trump is now facing fresh threats of impeachment if Democrats win back the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives after the November midterms.

However, sources claim Democrats would prefer to investigate him first, using their power to hold hearings and issue subpoenas, before pursuing an impeachment case against him, if at all.

Trump has been accused of using his office as president to enrich himself, his family members, and allies, with figures in several eyebrow-raising cases amounting to as high as several billion dollars.

House Democrats are reportedly laying the groundwork for a sweeping investigative campaign targeting private companies, contractors, and financial entities linked to President Donald Trump if they regain the chamber majority in the upcoming November midterm elections.

The president's financial dealings since he assumed office for a second non-consecutive term have continued to leave a sour taste, with many suggesting he has been using his position to enrich himself and his allies.

Sources familiar with the internal discussions shared that senior Democratic lawmakers and committee aides will prioritize aggressive congressional oversight using subpoenas, public hearings, and document requests to probe administration decisions and corporate ties, per Reuters.

However, lawmakers emphasize that impeachment remains an option if the inquiries uncover evidence meeting the constitutional threshold for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Democrats Learned From Trump's First Impeachment Battles

The move became apparent to many Democrats after what they experienced during Trump's first tenure, in which he was impeached twice by the House but acquitted both times by the Senate.

He was first impeached in December 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress regarding Ukraine, and again in January 2021 for incitement of insurrection related to the U.S. Capitol attack.

According to Reuters, party leaders fear that moving straight to an impeachment vote without first establishing a comprehensive body of evidence could allow the White House to dismiss the effort as purely partisan and trigger prolonged executive resistance.

"We're not going into this to impeach," a senior Democratic aide familiar with the strategy said. "No one wants a failed vote on day one. The focus is on building a body of evidence through investigations that can hold Trump accountable."

Democrats Begin Building Their Case Against Trump

Republicans currently hold a slim majority in the House, but Democrats are tipped to win it back after the November elections.

A Democratic majority would give the party the power to choose the Speaker of the House, lead all congressional committees, and set the legislative agenda.

Inquiries under consideration target corporate donors, Department of Homeland Security defense contractors, and financial vehicles connected to Trump's inner circle and family members.

In fact, two sources claimed that Democrats have already begun firing off voluntary information requests to various companies and regulatory entities, a step aimed at laying the paper trail for enforceable subpoenas should the party win the gavels in November.

Democratic Reps. Robert Garcia of California and Jamie Raskin of Maryland noted that the scope will become broader if they take back the House.

"From sketchy Pentagon contracts lining the pockets of the president's sons, Trump's crypto ⁠billions, and the shady backroom deals for Trump donors, we will ensure we combat corruption when Democrats take back the House in November," Garcia said in a statement.
Trump's Billions In Deals Put His Finances Under The Microscope

In response, the White House reiterated that President Trump remains focused on maintaining Republican majorities in Congress and stated that the administration is fully prepared to respond to congressional oversight regardless of which party controls the House.

Since regaining control of the Oval Office, the billionaire politician has drawn intense scrutiny, with disclosures revealing more than $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency earnings, thousands of active stock trades, and a paid service charging for instantaneous access to his market-moving social media posts.

Earlier this year, the BBC found a pattern of sharp spikes in the number of trades entered just hours or days before the president makes a social media post or grants an interview.

Experts suggest the activity points to potential insider trading, as people place bets on market moves based on information that isn't public yet.

Trump Family Pushes Back On Questions Over His Stock Trading

He also raised eyebrows when it was revealed that he owned shares in several large American corporations and executed more than 3,600 trades in the first three months of this year.

However, his family continues to insist they don't have anything to do with the trades, as they were automatically entered by an outside brokerage firm that the president chose to manage his portfolio upon his reelection.

"Neither President Trump, his family, nor The Trump Organization has any role in selecting, directing, approving, influencing or soliciting specific investments," the Trump Organization said in a statement, per The New York Times. "They receive no advance notice of trades, cannot alter or override the managers' strategies or models, and provide no input regarding investment decisions or portfolio operations."

"This structure was intentionally designed to maintain a clear separation between President Trump and the independent third-party investment managers overseeing the accounts and avoid even the appearance of any conflict of interest," the statement read.

Daddy, Why Are ICE-GESTAPO Police Always Masked? Son, They Are Cowards with Guns

They know they will have to answer to justice in a post-Trump time in America. So they hide their faces like the coward terrorists of Islamic fundamentalism. 

They wear masks because they are afraid of being known as the official terrorists of the Trump administration. 

It is so easy and cowardly to terrorize innocent unarmed civilians with fully-armed, fully protected, fully masked thugs. 

But justice always prevails in the end.

A Senile Trump Continues Sweeping Lies in the Face of Sordid Reality

[Update]: Even his own FUKS NEWS network disagrees with the Great Moron:

Fuks News is slamming Donald Trump's claim that the U.S. "totally" controls the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway through which 20% of the world's oil flows. On Tuesday, speaking to reporters, the dumbass president insisted the U.S. has it all under control.

"We totally control the Strait of Hormuz," he said. "We have control over it. Nobody else. Only us. Our navy is unbelievable, and things are going great for our country." The next day, On Wednesday, the Trump sycophant imbecile at Fucks news, Brett Baier, told the MAGA herd of moron viewers that Trump is lying.

"Let's start with the Strait of Hormuz," Baier began. Now, this is a narrow passage between Iran and Oman. It's the gateway between the Persian Gulf and the open ocean. And look at what normally passes through here."

Total oil flow averaged nearly 21 million barrels per day in the first half of last year, equivalent to about 20% of global petroleum liquids consumption. Usually, about one-fifth of the world's liquefied natural gas trade moves through there as well. Despite Trump's lie of the US having total control over the strait, traffic has slowed to a trickle.

And there's another problem building as well. The International Energy Agency says global crude oil inventories fell by 2.2 million barrels a day in July. It expects a global supply deficit of 1.8 million barrels a day in the third quarter. That's more than double its previous estimate.

Trump lies either out of malevolence or out of stupidity. I think it's a hybrid of both, a "criminal idiot".

[End of update]

===========================================

The moronic man-child in the Outhouse is sick. He used to lie to all the American people. Then he lied only to his morons in the MAGA herd. Now he lies only to himself and to the few idiots who advise him.

Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. Traffic through the Strait, according to: https://hormuzstraitmonitor.com/

is 2 ships transiting over past 24 hours, down from 68 pre-war, i.e. 3.3% of normal traffic.

298 ships are waiting to cross but are afraid to do so.

War risk insurance for these vessels has multiplied by 30-fold and is labeled "Extreme".

Yet, the idiot in the white house blathers that everything is great and that we, the US, are in full control of the Strait.

This is beyond mere lying. This is full-blown dementia, backed by the Roy-Cohn teachings to the dumb asshole in the White House, and backed by the generic marketing typical of the American mindset that insists that perception is more important than substance. 

Americans are taught that in order to be happy all you have to do is smile, even if it's a fake smile. Normal people smile AFTER they meet happiness. Abnormal Americans are taught to smile IN ORDER TO BE happy. This is the proverbial "putting the cart before the horse."

Trump Somehow Insists U.S. ‘Totally’ Controls Strait of Hormuz: ‘Things Are Going Great’
Kathryn Wilkens
Wed, August 12, 2026

Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated that the Strait of Hormuz will not open until the U.S. "corrects its behavior," as oil prices hit $90 a barrel for the first time in two weeks.See more

President Donald Trump claimed on Tuesday evening that the U.S. "totally" controls the Strait of Hormuz, adding, "Things are going great for our country."

The president's comments happened during an appearance before reporters at Joint Base Andrews, just after he attended the 2026 Patriot Games in Geneva, Ohio, a youth athletics competition created by his administration to celebrate the nation's 250th anniversary.

"The country is doing well," Trump said. "The stock market's fantastic — record. We have 79 records so far in a short period of time. More people are working right now in the United States than ever before, and prices are dropping fast. Iran is going fine. It's going just absolutely fine. We totally control the Strait of Hormuz. We have control over it. Nobody else. Only us. Our navy is unbelievable, and things are going great for our country."

Over the weekend, however, CBS News reported that Iran's Supreme National Security Council said the Strait of Hormuz will not open until the United States "corrects its behavior." Not to mention, per The New York Times, oil prices hit $90 a barrel for the first time in two weeks on Tuesday.

Also on Tuesday, Trump added to reporters, "I don't trust Iran. Are you saying I trust Iran? I'm the last person to trust Iran. They've lied to me constantly… We own [the Strait of Hormuz], and at some point, maybe they'll do something, and then they get blown away."

Earlier Tuesday, U.S. Central Command said American forces disabled a Panama-flagged cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman. According to an X post from CENTCOM, a Navy MH-60 helicopter fired two Hellfire missiles into the ship's engine room after its civilian crew "ignored repeated warnings," adding, "U.S. forces operating in the Middle East are highly vigilant, lethal, and ready."

Minnesota Republican Primary is Telltale Sign of Both GOP and Trump Debacle

Three "Republican" (we don't know what that term means anymore) candidates ran in yesterday's "Republican" primary in Minnesota One backed by Donald Dumb, one backed by the Republican party, and one sort-of-an-independent Republican that was not backed by either Trump or the GOP.

The winner was the latter. Which means that Minnesota voters, as a herald of the general American electorate, have rejected both Trump's MAGA movement AND the traditional GOP establishment. If you extrapolate this vote by registered Republicans to the general electorate, you can see the depth of dissatisfaction by US voters with both the Republicans and Trump, and why the Progressives of the Democrat Party are flying high in virtually all the Democrat primaries. This should send a signal to the establishment Democrats who are taking sides with the Republicans against the Progressives that the electorate is throwing its weight behind those who are willing to take a firm stand against not only the GOP and Trump, but also against the cowards of the establishment Democrats.

The American people are waking up to the disaster that Trump's racist, xenophobic MAGA extremists of the Radical Right and their enablers and colluders of the establishment GOP Republicans have inflicted on the country, both in domestic affairs and in their warmongering around the world.

Trump and the Republican Party Backed Competing Candidates in Minnesota’s Governor Primary. Both Fell Short
Connor Greene
Wed, August 12, 2026 

Minnesota Speaker of the House Lisa Demuth has won the Republican primary for governor in her state, beating out BOTH the GOP-endorsed and the Trump-backed candidates in the race.

The Associated Press called the race just before midnight on Tuesday as Demuth was leading with about 44% of the vote to Mike Lindell's 32% out of the ballots counted thus far.

Demuth now heads to the general election in November, where she is expected to face an uphill battle against Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar.

The primary saw the three front-runners vying to become the party's nominee in a contest between different factions of the GOP.

President Donald Trump last month publicly offered his support to Lindell, a Trump loyalist better known as the "MyPillow Guy" who garnered national attention in the aftermath of the 2020 election as a prominent election denier. The state Republican Party, meanwhile, opted to endorse Kendall Qualls, a businessman and Army veteran, at a state convention in May. Despite earning neither endorsement, Demuth remained competitive in the race—and ultimately pulled out the win.

Trump has never won Minnesota in any of his three presidential runs, but Lindell, who appeared to open a lead in the polls in recent weeks, touted the President's endorsement days before the election.

"I have an advantage over everyone up here, the [US-born White Trash criminal] Lindell said at an event on Sunday. "I can call up and work with the President of the United States."

The former CEO, like Trump, has vocally denied the results of the 2020 presidential election, which Trump lost to Joe Biden. Lindell has faced defamation suits over comments he made related voting machines, some of which are ongoing. Last June, he was ordered to pay $2.3 million to a Dominion Voting Systems executive after a jury found that he spread false and damaging claims related to the 2020 election.

Prior to that election, Lindell had also become known for his MyPillow advertisements and his self-published memoir What Are the Odds? From Crack Addict to CEO, in which he chronicled his experience overcoming substance abuse and gambling. He stepped down as CEO of the pillow company earlier this month to focus on his campaign.

Lindell aligns largely with Trump's approach to many issues, including slashing government spending. Among his campaign proposals was a "Minnesota DOGE," a reference to the Trump Administration's now-shuttered Department of Government Efficiency.

Although he later secured the President's public support, Lindell was beat out by both Qualls and Demuth in the contentious voting process for the state GOP endorsement, being eliminated after finishing third in the fourth round of voting. After ten ballots, Qualls just surpassed the 60% vote needed to formally secure the endorsement.

Qualls, the first Black candidate to win a major party endorsement for governor in Minnesota, called for unity in the party following his win.

"Now is the time to remind everyone what our first Republican President said on the field of Gettysburg: That a house divided cannot stand," Qualls said. "If we're going to win, we got to win as a united Republican Party."

Qualls has never previously held public office, but he was not a new face on the campaign trail in Minnesota. This year's primary marked Qualls' third campaign for a major seat. He mounted an unsuccessful bid in the race to represent Minnesota's third congressional district in the U.S. House in 2020 and previously ran for governor, also unsuccessfully, in 2022.

In his bid this year, Qualls called for a "radical transformation" to the state's tax policy and education system. "We can do a lot more with less," he said to ABC affiliate 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS.

Demuth largely aligned on policy with Qualls, but sought to distinguish herself on the campaign trail by emphasizing her government experience as the first Black woman and Republican woman to serve as House Speaker.

"I am the best candidate who is able to look forward to November and beating Amy Klobuchar and I'll say the Democrat machine," Demuth said in an interview with KSTP in June. "And the reason I know I'm best-positioned to do that is when you look at my work as Speaker of the House I can draw people together."

Demuth, who leads a state House with an even split between the two parties, touted her ability to broker deals and communicate within a thinly divided government.

"I have solid, conservative values that really do cross party lines," she said at a news conference. "It's not just Republican values. They're conservative values that are supported by many Minnesotans."

Tim Walz, who has been the governor since 2019, launched a bid for a third term but dropped out in early January amid investigations into state welfare agencies and government-affiliated programs that were widely targeted by fraud.

Minnesota hasn't elected a Republican governor since 2006, while the last Republican senator was elected in 2002. In presidential elections, it holds the current record among the 50 states for the longest streak of voting for the Democratic candidate; it last went for a Republican in 1972, when it gave its electoral votes to Richard Nixon.

The Cook Political Report rates the Minnesota governor's mansion as Solid Democrat, among those it deems least likely to flip in this election cycle.

Meanwhile, further exacerbating the Radical Right debacle, the Progressives scored a big victory in the Democrat primary in Minnesota.

Progressive Peggy Flanagan Wins Minnesota’s Coveted Democratic Senate Primary, Defeating Rep. Angie Craig in Tight Race
The closely watched primary race served as another test of whether progressives could continue to dominate the 2026 midterms across battleground states

Minnesota has chosen its Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate after one of the most closely watched primaries of the midterm season

Progressive Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan will advance to the November ballot in an effort to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Tina Smith

The other Minnesota Senate seat, belonging to the state's senior senator, Amy Klobuchar, may also soon become vacant if she succeeds in her own bid for governor

Minnesota's Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate has been decided.

Progressive Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan prevailed on Tuesday, Aug. 11, in Minnesota's hard-fought Democratic primary for the state's open Senate seat, defeating her more moderate opponent, U.S. Rep. Angie Craig, in a close race.

If successful in the general election come November — in which she'll run against the Republican nominee, former sports broadcaster Michelle Tafoya — she'll replace Democratic Sen. Tina Smith in January 2027.

Presently the lieutenant governor to Gov. Tim Walz, Flanagan was considered the more progressive of the two candidates, earning endorsements from Sens. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Smith. A citizen of the White Earth Nation, she made history at the time of her lieutenant governor election as the highest-ranking Native American to hold public office; she is also the first and only woman of color elected to state office in Minnesota.

Craig, currently a U.S. representative for Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District, ran on a more moderate platform. Joining Congress in 2019 as the nation's first openly lesbian mother to serve on Capitol Hill, she has previously been a journalist and businesswoman. Like Flanagan, Craig said she was "ready to take on the Trump administration's policies that are hurting working folks."

According to recent polls, Democrats have the advantage in the general election. Heading into Tuesday, Flanagan was leading the top Republican candidate by 6%, while Craig was leading by 7%, per a poll from Emerson College.

Smith, 68, has held her Senate seat since 2018. On Feb. 13, 2025, she penned an op-ed for The Minnesota Star Tribune announcing her decision to not seek another term come the 2026 election, explaining that after a long public service career, she wanted to dedicate her time to her loved ones.

"Politicians are human beings. As much as I love my work, I'm fortunate enough to be able to say that my work is only part of what makes up my life," Smith wrote. "And after two decades of hard, rewarding work in public service, I'm ready to prioritize other things — starting with my family."

Minnesota's other Senate seat, belonging to Amy Klobuchar, may also become vacant later this year if polls translate to actual votes, as she is currently favored to secure the Minnesota governorship. Should she prevail in November, current Gov. Walz (who is not running for reelection) may appoint a temporary successor to the Senate until a special election determines a permanent replacement to finish her term, up in 2031.

Wisconsin Democrats to Score Big in today's Primaries

[Update]: Unfortunately, Progressive Hong lost by 0.5% of the votes to the so-called "moderate" David Crowley.

================================================

Today is primary day in Wisconsin and the Democrats are on a beeline to victory.

Francesca Hong, the 37-year-old restaurateur and chef-turned-member of the state Assembly, is leading in polls by relatively wide margins ahead of Tuesday's Democratic gubernatorial primary. AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh

Wisconsin Democrats are looking to make a significant comeback in the State's November midterms. They are now just two seats short in the state Senate and five seats short in the state Assembly which, if overcome, will ensure they have total control over the state government.

Historically, Wisconsin has fluctuated between Republican control and Democrat control. Some of the most powerful unions had secured a Socialist version of the Democrat Party, which is in resonance with the smashing victories scored by Democrat Socialists across the country as they are ditching the so-called "moderate" Democrat candidates who appear willing to cater to disaffected but still Trump-prone voters. 

The Democrats are looking to undo all the Trump-induced MAGA retreats in social services: They want to expand healthcare, increase education funding and rebuild the state's labor movement that was the bedrock of the Democrat Party.

In recent decades, Trump won Wisconsin by very narrow wins (0.77% margin in 2016; and 0.86% margin in 2024), which suggests a flip back to the state's Democrat control is extremely likely as a result of Trump's tanking popularity, and the anger he has stirred among workers and famers because of his tariffs. 

Trump's victories in 2016 and 2024 come on the heels of a streak of seven consecutive Democrat presidential wins from 1988 to 2012. Between 2000 and 2024, Wisconsin voted Republican in only 28.6% of presidential elections, compared to 71.4% for Democrats. This suggests that Trump's lies and false promises that gave him these marginal victories in Wisconsin are a thing of the past. The state's electorate finally understood that Trump is a cheat and a fraud, and a swing back to the state's traditional Democrat base is within sight.

Francesca Hong is a 37-year-old restaurateur and chef-turned-member of the state Assembly. She is ahead by leagues for today's (Tuesday) Democratic gubernatorial primary. Hong is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America who hail mostly from the liberal state capital of Madison.

Her opponent among the Republicans is none else than Tom Tiffany who is a radical-right republican member of the House Freedom Caucus. He has the backing of Donald Trump with whom he is in cahoots by voting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. As such, Tiffany is a born loser in these elections. But Hong has to first defeat Democrat David Crowley who has been arguing that she could lose the race against Tiffany, a reflection of the ongoing civil war between so-called "moderate" Democrats and the Democrat Socialists. 

Hong meanwhile keeps pushing her message: "It is about the solutions, not just the labels," Hong said. "The solutions we're presenting actually meet the moment to solve the problem that the system is rigged against working-class people."

Although polling indicates Hong still has a healthy lead, Crowley and his allies are hoping for a repeat of last week's Democratic primary in Michigan, where a centrist candidate outperformed the polls.

Crowley, despite a reputation as a fairly progressive county executive, has been running as a centrist, talking up the need for pragmatism and finding solutions rather than dreaming of systemic change. That retreat by Crowley from aggressive posturing is seen as his Achilles heel and indicates perhaps a lack of conviction on his part given his past.  "It's just disqualifying him with a block of voters he needs to win," said one strategist.

Netanyahu-Trump: MAGA Loves Zionists; Zionists Not Love MAGA

Want any more proof of Israel's lawlessness vis-a-vis the world? Not one UN resolution since 1947; not one peace plan negotiated with mediators; not one offer of a peaceful settlement... none, nothing, has been accepted and implemented by the Zionist colony in Palestine. It never stopped raping Palestine, in slow, gradual installments, all the while claiming to seek peace. At this very moment, Israel is ethnically cleansing Palestine by demolishing villages, expelling, killing, displacing and arresting thousands of innocent Palestinian villagers. It is doing the same thing in southern Lebanon and southern Syria. 

The world has gone far out on a limb to accept the fake justifications for the existence of Israel over the dead corpse of Palestine. How much farther is the world willing to go?

It is oxymoronic to expect a colonial rapist to seek peace. When you begin your career as a rapist, the moment you stop the rape you lose your identity and your raison d'etre. 

Trump's "Board of Piss", his ramshackle alternative to the United Nations, has stalled. The Zionist criminal Netanyahu refuses to abide by the Board's decisions, just as Israel has always refused any UN intervention and any UNSC resolution that might rescue Palestine from the claws of the colonial criminal Zionists. 

What will Trump do? Dismiss his Board of Piss to stay on the good side of his Zionists handlers? or further dig deeper the chasm between the Fascist colonial rapist of Palestine and the United States. It was bound to happen. All other countries have essentially learned that the Zionist narrative - a hodgepodge of made-up antisemitism, Holocaust guilt, anti-terrorism, and fake victimhood as justifications for continuing the rape of Palestine - is a Big Lie.

Netanyahu Rejects Trump’s New Gaza Plan as Major Split Opens Between Israel and the US
Favour Frederick
Mon, August 10, 2026

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly rejects Donald Trump’s 15-point Gaza plan, insisting that Israeli forces will not leave Gaza until Hamas has fully disarmed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly rejected Donald Trump's latest plan for Gaza, exposing a significant disagreement with the US president at a critical moment in efforts to prevent the war from restarting.

Netanyahu told his government on Sunday that Israel does not accept Trump's 15-point roadmap in its current form, particularly its proposed sequence for Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawal. His rejection comes even as Israeli forces have sharply reduced military operations in Gaza under pressure from Washington.

The dispute now centers on a crucial question: must Hamas surrender all its weapons before Israeli troops begin leaving Gaza, or can disarmament and withdrawal happen gradually alongside each other?
Netanyahu Has Drawn a Clear Line on Withdrawal

Israel's prime minister insists that Israeli forces will not leave Gaza until Hamas has been fully disarmed.

Speaking at the beginning of a cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said Israel could not accept the 15-point document as currently written. He insisted Hamas must surrender everything from heavy weapons to smaller arms before the Israeli military withdraws.

Netanyahu said Israel remains in discussions with Washington and suggested some US proposals are acceptable while others are not. Israeli officials have already communicated their reservations to the Trump administration.

The position puts Netanyahu at odds with an important element of the US-backed roadmap, which envisions Israeli forces withdrawing as Hamas gives up its weapons and a new security structure takes control.

Trump Wants the Process to Move Forward

Washington is pushing a plan designed to connect Hamas disarmament, Israeli withdrawal and a new security system for Gaza.

Trump announced last month that progress had been made toward ending the conflict, saying both Israel and Hamas had agreed to a framework involving the removal of Hamas weapons.

Under the proposal, an International Stabilization Force would work alongside a newly established Palestinian police force to provide security. Gaza's civilian affairs would be handled by a US-backed Palestinian technocratic administration under the supervision of Trump's Board of Peace.

Nikolay Mladenov, the Board of Peace's Gaza envoy, said discussions over the roadmap remain active. He has indicated that Israel would withdraw "sector by sector" after Hamas weapons in particular areas had been surrendered and made unusable.

That sequencing is now one of the biggest obstacles separating the sides.
Hamas Has a Different Interpretation of Disarmament

Hamas says it remains committed to the roadmap but has stopped short of accepting Israel's demand for complete disarmament before any withdrawal.

Senior Hamas official Basem Naim said the group remains committed to the roadmap agreed in Cairo and called on US officials and mediators to ensure Netanyahu follows through.

Hamas has avoided describing its commitment as outright "disarmament." Instead, the group says its weapons would be handed over and stored under the authority of the new Palestinian administration.

It has also linked implementation to Israeli actions, insisting that Israel must withdraw its forces and halt attacks as part of the process.

That creates a fundamental sequencing problem. Israel wants Hamas disarmed first. Hamas wants Israeli commitments implemented alongside its own.
Israel Has Already Changed Its Military Approach

Despite Netanyahu's objections, Israeli military operations in Gaza have been scaled back as Washington pushes negotiations forward.

Israel sharply reduced attacks following Mladenov's meeting with Netanyahu. According to a source familiar with Israel's position, the military agreed to restrict operations to situations it considers immediate threats.

Israel has also halted the targeted assassinations it had been conducting regularly against militants it accused of involvement in the October 7, 2023, attacks.

The shift gives Trump some leverage because Israel remains heavily dependent on US military and diplomatic support. Yet Netanyahu's public rejection of parts of the roadmap shows there are limits to how far he is currently prepared to follow Washington's preferred approach.

Netanyahu Is Also Fighting a Political Battle at Home

Any concession on Gaza could carry a heavy political price for Netanyahu as Israel approaches its October election.

Netanyahu is seeking re-election on October 27 while facing pressure from both voters and members of his right-wing coalition.

Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich backed Netanyahu's refusal to withdraw before Hamas is destroyed, arguing that Israeli forces should not retreat "even a millimetre" from Gaza.

That pressure leaves Netanyahu caught between two powerful forces. Trump wants movement toward ending the conflict, while Netanyahu's hardline political allies want Israel to maintain military control until Hamas has been completely dismantled.

With Netanyahu already struggling in opinion polls, accepting a compromise perceived as too favorable to Hamas could deepen problems with his political base.
The Biggest Obstacle May Be Who Moves First

Israel and Hamas appear to accept parts of Trump's broader framework, but neither side wants to surrender its main source of leverage before the other acts.

Israeli troops currently control roughly two-thirds of Gaza, while more than two million Palestinians have largely been pushed into a narrow coastal area, many living in tents or damaged buildings.

More than 1,250 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since the US-mediated ceasefire began in October 2025, according to Gaza health officials, who say most were civilians. Hamas has not disclosed how many fighters were among those killed. Four Israeli soldiers have also died in Gaza during that period.

Trump's roadmap attempts to break that cycle by tying disarmament, withdrawal and postwar governance together. But the disagreement over timing threatens to undermine the entire arrangement.

Netanyahu's rejection does not necessarily mean the negotiations are over. Israel remains in talks with Washington, and Hamas says it still supports the framework. The harder task is convincing each side that it can take the first meaningful step without giving its opponent a strategic advantage.

With Netanyahu insisting Hamas must completely disarm before Israel withdraws and Hamas demanding Israeli commitments as part of the same process, what compromise could realistically persuade both sides to move forward with Trump's Gaza plan?

The Zionist Colony in Palestine is Scraping the Bottom of its Friendly Countries Barrel

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar is on a beggaring campaign in Latin America, trying to run the same old stale lies Zionists use to groom Latin American governments into becoming bouncers for the criminal genocidal state of Israel.

Latin America has several right-wing governments affiliated with Donald Trump, and by extension with Israel. But the populations of these countries have soured against Israel because of its genocidal colonial ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Palestinian population which resonates with the indigenous populations of Latin America.

As a sign of its despair at its growing isolation around the world - only the US and the insignificant Marshall Islands vote in favor of Israel at the UN - the Zionist colony in Palestine is mounting a desperate asskissing campaign across Latin America, including Ecuador and Colombia. With Europe essentially now firmly on the side of the Palestinians traumatized by the Zionists' daily crimes, Israel has nowhere left to go except Latin America and Africa.

In Colombia, the new right-wing dictator Abelardo de la Espriella, is already reversing the more balanced policies of his predecessor, former President Gustavo Petro who severed diplomatic relations with Israel in 2024 after accusing the Jewish state of "genocide" in Gaza. Espriella has also received a bribing "donation" of 1$billion from Donald Trump to entice him to kiss ass to the Israelis.

The Zionist foreign minister declared, "Not only will we rebuild our ties, but we will take them to new heights." New heights of killings, displacement, land theft and rape of Palestine.

The Zionist is so despaired that he sees a "golden age in relations between Colombia and Israel begins today". Wow, when you no longer have decent friends because of your behavior, you scrap the bottom of the barrel for ANY friend to give you pity and compassion. 

In Ecuador, Sa'ar became the first Israeli foreign minister to make an official visit in 44 years. FORTY FOUR YEARS is a long time in relations between two countries. The Zionists would have to take the Ecuadorians back to kindergarten and feed them all their lies to justify their existence and their tormenting of the Palestinian indigenous population. 

Obviously, Latin America's recent turn to right-wing dictatorships is a boon for the FAscist apartheid state of Israel. But these dictatorships are historically known to have a short half-life. Argentina, for example, under the despot Javier Milei, is one of Israel's most enthusiastic friends. The Messianic Evangelical Christian Zionist Milei, just like his American alter ego, the dumbass Trump, has made three presidential visits to Israel, and has qualified the relationship in biblical bullshit terms as a "moral, spiritual, and political" union. 

El Salvador's Nayib Bukele, who is of Palestinian descent but seems to have forgotten that his grandparents fled the pogroms by the Zionists in his ancestral Palestine, is another prominent regional asskisser of Israel.

As Donald Dumb's star is inexorably fading in the United States, so will the me-too Trump-imitation despots. They will crumble like statues made of matchstick as soon as the Great American Moron sinks into senility and oblivion. 

Iran is Winning: Donald Dumb's Desperate Push to Unconditionally End Iran War

He's ready to let Iran become nuclear just to get out of the swamp into which Ben-Yamin Natanyahu drove him. Which explains the mounting frictions between the Zionists in Palestine and the Imbeciles in Washington DC.

Donald Dumb is discovering the downsides of working with scheming hypocrite Zionists, and Zionists are discovering the pitfalls of working with an idiot they thought they could manipulate ad libitum. For example, the Dumbass president's own "Board of Peace" wants Israeli forces to withdraw from Gaza as part of a 15-point plan, but Netanyahu is refusing, thus forcing Trump into a corner. 

A proverb says it is better to deal with a smart enemy than with a stupid friend. Donald Trump is a stupid friend and the Zionists are even more stupid for thinking they could count on an ass in the White House. 

Now we learn that Trump is confiding to his advisers that he may abandon the objective of the war - a non-nuclear Iran - just ton get out of the mess Natanyahu plunged him. Remember, five presidents before Trump refused to be bamboozled by the Zionists into a war against Iran. But the "Stable genius" moron Trump agreed and he is now having buyer's remorse.

In the end, Americans are inward-looking self-ingratiating solipsist isolationists who believe they are at the center of the universe. So when they venture outside their domain, they become helpless losers who don't understand the world. So when push comes to shove, they will cut their losses and walk out of the mess. 

The danger in Trump's reckless cowboy-style policy is that, should he fail in denuclearizing Iran by means of war, he would be giving Iran a victory. The choice of war to achieve an objective carries the risks of gifting an indirect victory to your enemy should the war not go well. Even when clear objectives were articulated and a strategy well planned, previous wars by the US failed to achieve their stated objectives (Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq...). When a poorly planned war without specific objectives is waged just to please a friend like Israel's Natanyahu, the risks are much greater. 

With the benefit of hindsight, compare the Imbecile-in-Chief's approach to Iran with that of Obama and Biden, and decide who was was right. The problem of the Radical Right-Wing Republican Fascists behind their idiot Trump is that they get uncomfortably close to the Zionists who lead them like dogs on a leash. That relationship is littered with dangers. And the Iran war is the prototype of this failed policy of listening too much to the lies of the Zionists and their colonial ambitions. 


The Great Moron having second thoughts about his fucked up war with Iran.

Apparently, Donald Dumb is worried sick of the looming debacle in the November midterms that he is lashing out at those Zionists who "advised" him that the Tehran regime will fall within days of a massive military campaign. Now that he is taking stock of the disaster three months before the midterms, Donald Dumb is considering abandoning his push for a nuclear agreement with Iran in favor of reopening the Strait of Hormuz whose closure by the Iranians has sent the global economy in to a spiral of rising inflation, so much so that economists have been warning of a major depression like the one in 1929. Donald Dumb has been told he shouldn't be another Herbert Hoover. 

The problem for Donald Dumb is whatever exit he may find out of the war just to save the economy is a victory gift to Iran. he has told senior aides in recent weeks that he could accept an outcome in which Tehran fully reopens the Strait of Hormuz without reaching a broader deal over its nuclear program, according to the Wall Street Journal.

According to The Journal, Donald Dumb is thinking that he has done sufficient damage to Iran's nuclear infrastructure to prevent it from rebuilding it "during the rest of his presidency", thus dumping Iran's nuclear file onto his successor.

But Iran has smelled blood. It knows Trump is sick and tired of a war that has ruined his domestic standing with the American people, and in particular with his herd of MAGA morons. Therefore, Iran is retaliating and making harder for Trump to reach the exit ramp. Tehran is adding more conditions and demands for reopening the Hormuz strait, including permanently end the war, withdraw U.S. forces, lift sanctions and the naval blockade, release frozen Iranian assets and pay war reparations. In other words, Iran wants to turn Trump's Zionist-inspired misadventure into total defeat.

My fellow Americans, next time you have to elect a president, don't listen to the fantasy land promises of any candidate, Republican or Democrat, because they are either deliberate lies or promises they know are impossible to keep. Look for the character of the candidate, for their integrity, for their humility and for their consistency.... None of those character traits are found in the dumb asshole now sitting in the white house. Trump's disastrous term is because of a moronic American electorate that values machismo over intellect, that prefers the streety bad boy over the smart educated individual, and that doesn't see through a lying criminal felon. 

The Liar-in-Chief Can't Help Lying. His Maid Jeanine Pirro is Stumped...

 ...defending the Great Moron and refusing to go along with his lies. The senile demented man-child is way out there in a universe of his own where even his own adorers dare not to go.

The Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial is a textbook example of Trump's pathological condition confronted by his dumbfounded faithful followers who have no idea how to balance the truth with their love for the Idiot. Why can't they come to the realistic conclusion that the Idiot should be removed from office?

Listen to this:

On Sunday, the idiot-in-chief continued to hurl the lie that vandalism was behind the botched renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, because this moron can't admit to himself and to the people that the failed renovation was because he hired a fellow criminal felon to do it. Instead he makes up a story of vandalism to present himself as a VICTIM, which is a trait he shares with his Zionist handlers: They rape the world and yet say they are victims.

The Great Moron declared, "There was substantial other damage to the Reflecting Pool, also but, unfortunately, there is no video or proof, other than the damage, itself." When he first lied by blaming vandals for damaging the Reflecting Pool, he said he had proof. "We have photographs, or tapes, like moving cameras, right?" he said just days ago. He later told reporters, "We also have pictures." When pressed to show this evidence, he said they would come out in time. "You'll see it in court."

Now his lovers and adorers find themselves trying to defend the imbecile-in-chief while at the same time having no proof to back him. Jeanine Pirro, the former Fox News host who is now U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, was forced to drop the criminal charges against former Olympic athlete David Hearn, who had been accused of damaging the Reflecting Pool. She released a statement admitting that the damage was caused by a botched installation and not vandalism.

Pirro must be contemplating her future after the senile idiot is out of office. If she continues to back his lies and engage in a kangaroo prosecution, she risks losing the case and be seen as a blind servant of the Fool-in-Chief, which doesn't help her in a post-Trump America.

As evidence of the delirium of the senile old geezer, in the same post where he said "unfortunately, there is no video or proof, other than the damage, itself", he continued saying that "a highly credible witness" who works for the National Park Service saw Hearn "violently" rip the "somewhat delicate coating."

There seems to be no limit to the deranged mind of this individual who doesn't realize his own ridicule.

In May, Trump described the lining as "so strong, so powerful" that it couldn't be cut with a knife. But finally, the criminal idiot admitted that "there was also some contractor error done," but insisted it "was relatively inconsequential."

Trump had the Reflecting Pool renovated in the spring in an attempt to restore it before the Independence Day celebrations over the summer. However, the project was almost immediately plagued by problems. In addition to the lining coming loose and peeling off, the pool turned green with algae only days after reopening. Trump blamed vandals for the algae as well.

The Upcoming Civil War Between the Center and the Extremes in US Politics

DEMOCRATS: UNITE AROUND THE YOUNGER GENERATION OF PROGRESSIVES IF YOU WANT TO CLEANSE THE COUNTRY OF TRUMP'S FILTH

Why is it OK for Republicans to turn extremist, racist, violent MAGA Right wingers (rare are the moderate Republicans these days who stand up to Christian Nationalist and criminal felon Donald Trump), but not OK for Democrats to turn Progressive?

American voters now understand that, in order for the middle-center politics to return to normal, the Democrats have to fight Trump's rightwing monopoly over the GOP by moving the Democrat party further to the left. What is good for the goose should be good for the gander.

The bottom line: The American voters have had enough of the corruption, the racism and the chaotic management of the country. Now is not the time for compromise and for cowardice on the part of the Democrat traditionalists who are on AIPAC's payroll and are republicans in disguise (like Manchin, Sinema, Fetterman...)

================================================

James Carville is a Traitor Democrat. He's got nowhere to go but to FOX News to showcase his archaic vacuous semi-MAGA opinions

James Carville is metamorphosing into a MAGA shill by attacking successful Democrats who tell him to him to leave the party and join Trump's MAGA if he's not happy.

The future Senator for Michigan, El-Sayed, commented, "Why does anybody still listen to James Carville? He said one smart thing once, which he seems to have forgotten."

A clearly senile Carville expressed his despair, "I don't know what I can do. I can't take it, please mama help me. Such vicious people. Wow."

El-Sayed, a progressive backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., defeated Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary Tuesday and will face Republican Mike Rogers in November.

Sen. Bernie Sanders said, "if Carville doesn't want to share a party with progressives, "he can start his own party."

Carville has repeatedly itched on FOX News about the influence of progressives in the Democratic Party and previously said he would not remain in the party if far-left figures like Piker became a larger force.

Despite his hysteria about progressives in the party, Carville said he thinks El-Sayed will win the Michigan Senate seat.

"[El-Sayed's] got some slack. He'd probably use every bit of it, but I still think he's going to win," Carville added.

‘Voters are fed up’: Michigan primary forces Democratic party to accept leftwing shift
David Smith
Sun, August 9, 2026

Standing before The Spirit of Detroit, a landmark bronze statue in the city's downtown, in the early hours of a Wednesday morning, Abdul El-Sayed channelled boxing great Muhammad Ali. "We shook up the world," he declared.

The 41-year-old former public health official had just delivered a knockout blow to the Democratic establishment, defeating the US congresswoman Haley Stevens to claim the party's nomination for the Senate in swing state Michigan.

El-Sayed had campaigned on a boldly progressive agenda of universal healthcare, halting military aid to Israel and sweeping campaign finance reform. The moderate Stevens had received $60m from outside groups, including $30m from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) and its affiliates.

It was the latest and possibly biggest tremor in a political earthquake consuming the Democratic party. Its leftwing insurgency was no longer confined to deep blue coastal cities; it had breached the walls of a critical midwestern swing state. Now it is forcing a reckoning about the party's leadership and its ideological direction ahead of the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election.

Matt Duss, executive vice-president of the Center for International Policy and a former foreign policy adviser to the leftwing senator Bernie Sanders, said: "It's dissatisfaction with the status quo. It's dissatisfaction with the establishment. This is an anti-system moment.

"We see this not just in our country but in democracies around the world. Voters are fed up with an elite establishment that is simply not delivering for them, that doesn't feel their pain, that doesn't seem to know or care about their struggles, and that's part of why Abdul succeeded."

The past decade of US politics has been dominated by the rightwing populism of Donald Trump. But leftwing populism has been running – and flourishing – on a parallel track since Sanders' outsider campaign for president in 2016 was ultimately beaten back by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic establishment.

Duss added: "The 2016 Sanders campaign was sort of the Big Bang for the rebirth of the progressive left in the United States. We've got a lot of others who joined Bernie. We've got a lot of great leaders on the progressive left now and are glad to have Abdul El-Sayed run."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a bartender who was an organiser for Sanders's 2016 campaign, pulled off a stunning upset two years later against an incumbent in New York's 14th district, becoming, at 29, the youngest woman ever to serve in the House of Representatives. She was joined by a small but vocal group of progressives known as "the Squad".

Sanders ran again in 2020 and, though he lost to establishment figure Joe Biden, his team had significant input into the surprisingly progressive agenda of the Biden presidency. But the events of 2024 – Biden's abortive run for a second term, Kamala Harris's coronation and Donald Trump's return to power – exposed a chasm between the party leadership and the grassroots.

***

Last November, Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist laser focused on affordability, beat establishment favourite Andrew Cuomo to become the first Muslim mayor of New York. He then helped three insurgent candidates win Democratic primary elections in New York. The "Mamdani effect" swept through Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Washington state, Wisconsin and Washington DC.

The driving factors include frustration with Trump, the cost of living, corporate money in politics and the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Reuters/ Ipsos polling showed Israel's favorability among Democrats plummeting from 59% in 2018 to just 22% in May 2026. The influx of Aipac money into political campaigns has become toxic for younger voters.

In Michigan, which has the highest percentage of Arab Americans relative to population, El-Sayed accused Israel of committing genocide and built his campaign around a demand to end unconditional US military aid to the country. This positioned him directly against Stevens, who defended the US-Israel relationship and benefited from massive Aipac spending.

El-Sayed's ultimate victory – coupled with wins for progressives Will Lawrence and Donavan McKinney in House races in Michigan – marked a watershed moment, a high-stakes proof of concept challenging the myth that leftwing populists cannot win elections outside Democratic strongholds.

Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota, perceives a general break within the party flowing from various sources including the "staleness" of its current leaders, Chuck Schumer in the Senate and Hakeem Jeffries in the House – both ardent supports of Israel. "Gaza and Israel has become a lightning rod for all the other issues," he added. "There's a sense that the Democrats have been patsies in the face of Donald Trump. When Democrats say they want to fight back, they mean it.

"Donald Trump has radicalised the Democratic party," he said. "This revolt within the party would not have happened without Donald Trump. He is provoking a kind of earthquake, raising lots of unsettling questions within the Democratic party - its direction, its leadership, its policy priorities, its beholdenness to big donors."

Trump has rattled the old orthodoxies that prevailed in US politics for decades. If the right can conceive a radical programme in documents such as Project 2025, why can the left not be similarly ambitious? There is little appetite to return to the pre-Trump era, a broken system that led to his rise in the first place, but rather to reimagine wealth redistribution, stronger unions, democratic reform and a just foreign policy.

Joseph Geevarghese, executive director of Our Revolution, a group born out of Sanders' 2016 run, said: "You're seeing a maturation of the progressive movement. You're seeing the infrastructure that's been built over a decade come into play. There's a resonance of the message in reaction to the failed populism of the right but you're also seeing increased sophistication in the organisation of the left."

The rise of groups such as the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has occurred in tandem with a crisis of confidence and identity within the centrist wing of the Democratic party. At a moment when Trump paints the landscape in big and bold primary colours, the moderates are widely seen as timid incrementalists who lack ideas or superstars to compete with El-Sayed, Mamdani and Ocasio-Cortez.

Geevarghese commented: "Because some of their funding depends on corporate donors, moderates have to pull punches. They are not able to articulate the causes of people's problems. You've got progressives who are able to call out the corporate class and the corruption of our politics and how that affects people's standard of living."

***

Even as they recognise the ground shifting beneath their feet, progressives warn that centrists are not likely to surrender the power they enjoy courtesy of Wall Street and Silicon Valley without a fight.

Norman Solomon, director of RootsAction and executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy, said: "One might say that hell has no fury like corporate Democrats scorned. I'm thrilled by the results in Michigan but at the same time I'm a bit apprehensive about the blowback from the powerful forces that have been accustomed to literally running the national Democratic party for many decades, arguably since the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) was so successful at the beginning of the 1990s."

The DLC was founded by Al From, who in 1989 handpicked Bill Clinton to steer the Democratic party toward the centre ground, creating the "Third Way" movement that was pivotal to his 1992 victory and later emulated by Tony Blair in Britain.

From reflected this week: "We've been focusing on beating Republicans and the democratic socialists have been focused on beating us. We've got to fight back. We've got to make it harder for them."

When Clinton first campaigned for president, 43% of Americans thought of themselves as moderate, compared to 36% conservative and 17% liberal. That picture has changed radically in the intervening years of polarisation.

"Our formula is the right formula," From insisted. "Obviously we're in a different world and you have to communicate it different and you'll need ideas that further the same underlying values, as we did, but they've got to be modern ideas, maybe different ideas because circumstances have changed. Our platform was for the 1990s, not for the 2030s, but the principles are the same.

"The democratic socialists want a different system. They don't want to further democratic values. You look at their platform: they want to get rid of the Senate, the presidency, the supreme court; they want ownership of business; they want to get rid of police; they don't want to fund the military."

"That isn't the historic Democratic party. It's not the party of Roosevelt that saved capitalism and saved democracy in the world in World War II. It's a different ideology, it's a different party. "

The true test of viability for El-Sayed – a Rhodes scholar, doctor and son of Egyptian immigrants – will come in November when he faces Mike Rogers, a former Republican congressman, in a race that could determine the balance of power in the Senate. After an unusually rancorous campaign, El-Sayed was quick to urge "the things that unite us are so much bigger than the things that divide us," and Stevens was equally quick to back him.

Indeed, progressives and moderates across the country are likely to maintain an uneasy co-existence for the midterms as each plays to their demographical and geographical strengths in common cause against Republicans. Trump and the House speaker, Mike Johnson, have been seeking to revive a cold war-style panic by branding democratic socialists as "radical Marxists" and "godless communists".

Donna Brazile, a political strategist and former interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, said: "The question is, can two different wings of the same party function, unify and function as a governing majority if the Democrats win the majority? I contend that the answer is yes. We'll agree on very important matters like the economy, improving the lives of the American people, making things more affordable again and not focusing on vanity projects, so the extent that we're all running on the same message of affordability, the answer is yes."

But then comes 2028 and a time for choosing. The centrist group Third Way is planning a new $15m effort to discredit democratic socialism between now and the next presidential election, the New York Times reported. Some Democrats argue that progressives have won only a handful of races – albeit high-profile ones – among hundreds taking place across the country and the extent of the insurgency is exaggerated. Others believe the Michigan result means the leftwing lane just got wider.

Geevarghese commented: "All of the electoral energy and enthusiasm is on the left and, at the end of the day, for a candidate to be viable in the 2028 presidential, they're going to have to articulate a full-throated economic populism. That's what's needed to make it through the primary and ultimately that's what's going to be needed to be the antidote to Donald Trump."

Speculation is already swirling around who might carry the progressive banner into the next presidential primary. Mamdani, born outside the US, is not eligible to run, and said he does not want to. Congressman Ro Khanna of California, who campaigned for El-Sayed, is frequently mentioned but the most intense focus is on Ocasio-Cortez, who is 36.

Henry Olsen, a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center thinktank in Washington, said: "If I were AOC's advisers, I would look her in the eye and say, 'Do you want to be president? If you want it to be president, the time is now. You will never have a better chance to own a lane that wants a leader.'

"One of the things we've seen across the world in the last decade is young female leaders captivating the left. Why not a 39-year-old AOC?"

Jewish Julian Epstein Betrays Michigan Democrats Because Victorious El-Sayed is Muslim

Jewish Democrat is an Islamophobe. He backs a MAGA candidate in Michigan because victorious El-Sayed is a Muslim.

Can't expect anything better from a Jewish Zionist than to betray his own party because he hates Muslims and supports genocidal Israel. American Zionists are facing a seismic challenge to their tight hold on the country after the American people have witnessed first hand the genocide and ethnic cleansing that Zionist Israel is perpetrating in Palestine.

Support for Israel by the American public, long brainwashed and prohibited from the slightest criticism of the Zionist colony in Palestine, has tanked over the past two years. The American people now have a more balanced view on the Palestine question and are demanding a change in the US blind support to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel. Which explains the victories that have been scored by all the pro-Palestine candidates in the primaries across the country.



Democratic attorney Julian Epstein - no relation to Trump's pedophile friend Jeffrey Epstein - is now betraying his own party by supporting a MAGA Republican Senate candidate, Mike Rogers, and stabbing victorious Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed in the back, citing concerns about - what else? - ending the blind support that the US has given for decades to the genocidal criminal Zionist colony in Palestine.

Because the Democrats are taking a more balanced and fair position on the Palestine question, Julian Epstein says "The Democrats have gone off the deep end," because "they want to destroy our Constitution", which is how Zionist propaganda brainwashes the American public. Throwing their customary accusations that any Muslim is a terrorist and any critic of Israel is an antisemite, the Zionists who have held America on a leash for decades are in utter panic and despair at losing the privileged position of steering US foreign policy.

Such is the Zionist despair that Epstein and others are lauding and praising their real enemy, Trump's MAGA candidates. Zionist Americans with dual Israeli-US citizenship and well-paid by the Zionist lobby AIPAC will betray their own principles, their own Democrat voter base, and their own country in defense of the criminal state of Israel.  

On Tuesday, El-Sayed won the Democratic primary against Michigan Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens, who represents the status quo Democrat establishment that is just another version of the Republicans. These "middle-of-the-road" Democrats want to go back to business as usual with a Republican party that no longer does business as usual because Trump has hijacked the Republican party and has turned it into a money-grabbing oligarchy of billionaire criminals who don't give a hoot about the average American citizen. 

In his own words, Epstein repeated the same propaganda talking points of AIPAC:  

"El-Sayed parrots Sen. Bernie Sanders' delusion that attaches no importance to generating wealth — and only cares about redistributing it," Epstein wrote. "He expresses sympathy for Mideastern terrorist movements that masquerade as liberation efforts, giving cover to terror attacks on Jewish synagogues in the US ('hurt people hurt people') and going to absurd lengths to avoid offending supporters of Iran's slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He doesn't believe the planet's only Jewish state has a right to exist."

It is up to the American voter to understand that Zionist propaganda no longer has a monopoly over public opinion in the US. The time has come to turn a page on the past decades of blind support for a criminal colonial genocidal state whose foreign settlers arrive to Palestine ready to kill thousands of innocent indigenous women and children, demolish their ancestral villages, and make a mockery of democracy by claiming to want the lunacy of a "Democracy for Jews only".

America spends money and treasure in defense of an indefensible human rights colonial rapist, Israel. It has to end. 

DICK-Traitor Trump To Run for an Unconstitutional Third Term in 2028

The coward 5-times draft dodger during the Vietnam War and who mocked dead veterans as "suckers and losers" is now defiling the military uniform with AI-generated images as he prepares to cheat in the 2026 and 2028 elections, juts like he tried to cheat in 2021.

And his racist GOP sycophants and herd of MAGA peasants applaud him because they are desperate to keep America WHITE, just as it was during the 19th century, excepting of course the Black African slaves, the Chinese railroad builders, and the native American Indians, all of whom didn't count as "Americans".

Trump is a parasite. He attaches himself to famous Americans, or he adds his name to whatever important building or institution in the silly and idiotic belief that this makes him "great". The imbecile has it all upside down: You must earn greatness. You can't simply stand next to a great American to become great yourself. But the simple-minded moron just doesn't understand.

‘Trump 2028’: President poses as decorated general and threatens to run again in bizarre series of AI posts

‘Trump 2028’: President poses as decorated general and threatens to run again in bizarre series of AI posts

President Donald Trump went on a late-night posting spree on Truth Social on Thursday, sharing a Trump 2028 poster as well as images of himself inserted, apparently with the help of AI, alongside famous figures of American history.

One post featured Trump in military regalia alongside Generals George Patton and Douglas MacArthur, who served in World War II.

Others put the president alongside his famous White House predecessors.

In one image, Presidents Trump, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington all appeared to sign a map of the United States.

Another Truth Social post had Trump standing and laughing alongside President John F. Kennedy at Camp David.

Perhaps most strikingly, the president used his post barrage to again float running for a constitutionally barred third term.

The Republican has often mused aloud or joked about a third term, including donning a Trump 2028 hat at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, though he has also said he's aware he can't run.

In the Oval Office on Thursday, President Trump again blurred the lines.

"We'll have a big percentage of the chip business by the time I leave office, which could be a long time," Trump said. "Who knows? But it could also be fairly quick. They say two-and-a-half years. We're gonna find out."

In the same conversation with reporters, the president spoke about his thoughts on Vice President JD Vance's potential 2028 campaign, describing the present as "too early" to make an endorsement.

In private, the president has reportedly told Republican donors he prefers Vance in 2028.

The Independent has contacted the White House for comment.

The president's allies have also offered mixed statements about a Trump 2028 run.

"It's been a great run, but I think the president knows, and he and I've talked about the constraints of the Constitution," House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters last year.

Podcaster and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon has said there's a "plan" that would allow Trump to seek office again.

"He's going to get a third term. Trump is going to be president in '28 and people ought to just get accommodated with that," Bannon told The Economist in a video interview.

In October, the president admitted he can't run for a third term, calling it "sad."

Critics have accused the president of leaning into authoritarian tendencies through a variety of actions, including cracking down on the press, the use of masked immigration agents and the display of large banners of his face put over Washington government banners.
