#Trump says he's "50/50" on Iran deal or bombs, will meet envoys to decide - So folks…we’re probably looking at even more #IranWar which is currently costing billions of taxpayer dollars and crippling the #GlobalEconomy. All because #Israel and Netanyahu told the #TrumpRegime to go to war, it would be over soon and the Iranian regime would fall. WRONG. Meanwhile, at home in the USA we’re facing significant #inflation, job loss and a profound and unrelenting #affordability crisis. Gas and grocery #prices are through the roof; rents are oppressive and going up. One-in-eight apartments is now owned by #PrivateEquity investors - who are on their way to owning everyfucking thing. And still, the narcissistic toddler Trump is throwing a tantrum because congress is denying him his ballroom. While he’s focused on revenge and self-glory, remaking DC in his own ‘golden’ image, the country is ablaze, going up in flames. https://www.axios.com/2026/05/23/trump-iran-deal-resume-war-interview

Happy #MemorialDay to all - Beef prices hit record highs in Memorial Day weekend squeeze - we can afford $29 billion and counting for the #IranWar, $1.5 billion for a Jan 6 slush fund; another billion for a new Whitehouse ballroom and a #TriumphalArch. Meanwhile, #Trump and his family have made countless questionable stock trades and have banked almost $4 billion since his return to office. How is it that #republicans can simply overlook the grift and obvious corruption? #beef #affordability #RepublicansDidThis #RepublicansOwnThis #TrumpRegime https://qz.com/memorial-day-beef-prices-record-high-grilling-costs
