De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser. I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more. I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class. I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families. I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant. And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.

The United States is sending this 80-year-old man with a limited vocabulary, face painted in orange pigment, hand bruises covered in caked makeup, girdled pants, and hair that is indescribable, overseas to high level meetings with world leaders, ostensibly to speak to America's interests. But all he will do - like he always does - is insist that up is down and bad is good, and he is smart and they are not, and he will recite grandiose claims of wars he thinks he has ended, he will insult his predecessors, and then - in incomplete and broken sentences - he will rant, ramble, and riff ... it might start on subjects of global import but will descend to windmills, witch hunts, whales, water pressure, and whatever, and the audience will roll their eyes collectively. He will make a few veiled threats, and then - perhaps - dangle a proposition or a concept of a proposition, filled with hyperbole, which enriches his oligarchy, presented as an opportunity, which all should abide because he is competent and smart, and the audience's eyes will almost roll out of their sockets. The world leaders that are the recipients of all this are respectful and smiling on the outside but making fun of him privately at every turn. Each and every one of them knows they cannot trust the 80-year-old man, knows that the 80-year-old man is ill and in decline, susceptible to praise and grift, and they know that if they wait it out a little longer, the 80-year-old man will be gone, and they'll have a more comfortable and less risky discourse with someone else soon.

β€œSo let me get this straight: You started a war, got people killed, torched billions of dollars, threatened global oil supplies & ended up with basically the same deal I had - except Iran gets way more money. And I’m the one you call weak?? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚β€

Here's the real deal, hot off the press: Trump agrees Iran gets sanctions relief, they keep their enriched uranium, they can fund proxies no problem, they get $10B in cash, $50B in crypto, $200B in funds to rebuild, they can abuse their own people - who cares, and the US blockade is removed. In exchange Iran agrees that they'll let Trump lie to the world about what's really in the deal.

Notice how no interviewers or reporters ever press him on this or ask him to justify this or ask him how this wasn’t a pure scam on his part.

🚨BREAKING: A U.S. citizen was riding his bike in Laredo, Texas… when Border Patrol agents pulled alongside him and illegally tried to block him in. When he kept riding, they chased him down, physically grabbed him by the arm, and immediately started demanding identification and asking where he was from. He told them he born in Laredo, Texas. But that was not good enough. The agent asked, β€œWhat high school did you go to?” He answered that, too… and they still kept demanding ID, over and over again. The Fourth Amendment exists for a reason. In America, law enforcement don’t get to randomly stop people, physically grab them, and demand identification because they feel like it. Being on a bike isn’t a crime. You also don’t have to carry an ID on you unless you are operating a motor vehicle… which he was not. So, demanding an ID, without probable cause, is illegal. And the cherry on top? When the man went to use his phone, an agent tried to stop him by grabbing it… apparently unaware the entire encounter was already being recorded by his glasses. If Border Patrol can stop an American born citizen riding his bike, demand his papers, and put their hands on him without stating a lawful reason… every American should be paying attention.
