Dear New York Times et al,

He was never a successful businessman.

  1. He inherited 400 million dollars and turned that into zero dollars.
  2. He went bankrupt 7 times.
  3. Some of those bankruptcies were casinos, literally a licence to print money which he couldn't manage.
  4. He conned kids with cancer out of money once. That's why he can't run a charity anymore.
  5. The following business ventures no longer exist or are insolvent:
    a. Trump Steaks
    b. Trump University
    c. Trump Mortgage
    d. Trump Vodka
    e. Trump: The Game
    f. Trump Ice
    g. GoTrump.com
    h. Trump Magazine
    i. The New Jersey Generals
    j. Trump Airlines
    k. Trump Entertainment Resorts (filed for bankruptcy FOUR TIMES)
    l. Trump Tower Tampa
    m. Trump Taj Mahal
    n. The Trump Plaza
    o. Trump Castle
    p. Plaza Hotel
    q. Trump Media and Technology Group
    r. Truth Social
    s. Trump Shuttle, Inc
    t. Trump Fire
    u. Trump Power
    v. Trump's American Pale Ale
    w. Trump Marina
    x. Trump Casino, Indiana
    y. Trump Style
    z. Trump World Magazine
    aa. Trumpnet, LLC
    ab. Trump Entrepreneur Initiative
    ac. Trump Fragrances
    ad. Empire by Trump
    ae. Trump Mattress
    af. Tour de Trump
    ag. Trump Network
    ah. Trumped!
    ai. Trump Menswear
    aj. Trump Home
    ak. Success by Trump
    al. Trump Hotel Bedding Line
    am. Donald J. Trump Eyeglasses
    an. Donald Trump Regency Lighting
    ao. Select by Trump Coffee
  6. Of the 16 companies that were manufacturing Trump-branded products in 2015, only 2 remain in business less than 10 years later. Neither of those companies are American. One is located in Panama and the other is located in Turkey.

Stop saying "successful businessman". My little company founded in 2014 has been in business longer, employs more people, and makes more income than 99% of his ventures. The difference between him and me is access to capital, which means he gets unlimited bites at the apple, and I get just this one if I'm lucky.

Ginni Thomas was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Her consulting firm also stands to gain if Trump is re-elected.

Yet Clarence Thomas hasn't recused himself from Trump's presidential immunity case.

How is this not a scandal of epic proportions?

“In one of those moments that you can’t believe is not satire, Antony Blinken met with Arab-American leaders and warned them that if Palestine got statehood, the US would defund the United Nations and potentially the World Food Program, plunging the developing world into starvation. It wasn’t enough for these fascists to starve innocents in Palestine, they’re now threatening to do it across the world. They would really rather kill millions more than stop doing genocide.”

Jeff Brumley highlights a new book by Brian Kaylor and Beau Underwood called Baptizing America, which shows that the problem of fusing Christianity and Americanism into white Christian nationalism goes way beyond white evangelical churches. It has been part and parcel of white Christianity in the US across the board for a long time now, and pointing to white evangelicals as the sole problem lets other white US Christians off the hook.

Nicole, #CovidIsNotOver.

Both presidents and parties failed. The pandemic is now endemic, which means “here to stay” much like how #HIV arrived and never left.

#SarsCoV2 is constantly mutating, is immune evasive, and unlike HIV, is airborne with CO2 when an infected person exhales. It hangs in indoor air with CO2 like how smoke lingers from a cigarette. About 40% of infections are #asymptomatic.

STUDY finds “patients with #COVID19 may have an increased risk of developing respiratory diseases. Even during the 24-month follow-up, the risk of asthma and bronchiectasis continued to increase.” Risks in COVID patients rise:
49% asthma
30% bronchiectasis
59% COPD
81% ILD
59% PVD
39% lung cancer (which may be incidental to the study)

Reinfection much worse! Compared to 1 infection, reinfected patients' risk were 3x+ higher for asthma, COPD, ILD, and lung cancer.

If the person you are insisting to add the alt text is disabled as described in their profile, perhaps.

Because, I for one, usually do. But my health can cause inconsistency due to flare-ups.

    If the reaction to covid is a test for how the powerful deal with climate change—let the plague spread, deny people resources, and hold no one accountable for the damage—we are in tremendous trouble. Everyone is assured that a savior is coming: an agent of the Lord or the law. I cannot attest to the former and I am pretty sure the latter broke down long ago, but I understand the rationalizations. It is a horrible feeling to be a pawn in someone else’s plot masquerading as prophecy. Kendzior, Sarah. They Knew: How a Culture of Conspiracy Keeps America Complacent (p. 122). Flatiron Books. Kindle Edition.
    Wouldn’t somebody do something, if it’s really that bad? Yes, they would: they would stand back and let you die and profit off the pain and other people would stand back and let them. Inertia is action; complacency is complicity. Normalcy bias is more destructive than paranoia. It encourages people to rationalize abhorrent behavior, to ignore open evidence of sadistic plots, and to dismiss the emotional resonance of an end times narrative as something intriguing only to fools. The most logical conclusion of why this is happening—powerful corporate and political actors have aligned to profit off predictable catastrophe, in what writer Naomi Klein has called “disaster capitalism”—is also the most horrifying. There is no way out but through, and that’s the crux of the fear. The apocalypse takes longer than you thought. Kendzior, Sarah. They Knew: How a Culture of Conspiracy Keeps America Complacent (pp. 122-123). Flatiron Books. Kindle Edition.

    🇨🇳, meanwhile, is taking action by repurposing antivirals like to treat their infected. 🇺🇸 continue to offer non-sterilizing vaccines and that’s it.
