Yes. Unfortunately. True.
I often riff on it as a movie mashup of “The Hunger Games” + “The Jonestown Massacre”, Neofeudalism + Cult Mob Repression.

That’s ominous. That was 2007, shortly before “The Great Recession”. It started in December of that year.
Coming soon to a World near you… “The Raging #Trumpcession”?

This is a massively important story. Follow it closely. Whatever the outcome, huge constrictions will be inflicted on water for BOTH residents AND food supply for all Americans. 70% of the water is for agriculture. It’s BOTH climate catastrophe AND consumption.

I’m guessing this does not end well!

Sorry. But. ‘Cause it’s Trump. I can’t help think’n it’s all just a gaslighting scam performance. He really didn’t want to attend. OR. It was determined he was too delusional for the public.

As an FYI. Strait of Hormuz is NOT international waters as #PsychoInChief says. It is shared by Oman and Iran. I have no doubt Trump will deny Untied Nations agreements as non-binding versus his delusional gaslighting.

WTF!? Trump ‘leads’ US to be the number one global terrorist regime. The Lie-atollah IS much more evil than the Ayatollah. MADNESS! EXACTLY what Putin and Xi want. What else from #PsychoInChief?

This is the way to go. All farm land should double as solar energy production. I’ve read a key is to make sure rows of panels are spaced to allow for planting/harvesting equipment to drive underneath.
Hops for beer flourish under solar panels. They're not the only crop thriving in the shade.
Everyone should take note of Trump’s relentless abusive egomaniacal drive. His demands that his show go on regardless. His will to dominate. He won’t stop. He will always attempt “to hit back harder”. To incite “hate”. Every single thing he does is to keep power.

Clearly he should know! Gov Beshear would appoint a Senator to finish his term if he is indeed dead or dies.
What if he’s brain dead on life support avoid an appointment?
