It's quite the thing when the Financial Times repeats the Trumpian lie that countries pay tariffs on exports.

Still picking on the little guys.
TACO when anyone is big enough to stand up to him. Typical bully.

A humorous breakdown on the current Epstein situation. Although it is likely out of date as more than an hour has passed.

Something nasty in the woodshed
I'm no expert, but I'd probably lean towards thinking that if Auschwitz had been situated in the middle of a vast area of swampland populated by thousands of colossal, carnivorous dinosaur descendants, they mightn't have felt they needed to bother with all that unpleasant Zyklon-B business, never mind the mass graves.

Dementia Donnie - his addled brain making up stuff as if it were real, connecting unconnectable events. It's not even as if there's any political gain in lying about this stuff.

He must have been thinking about another serial killer he admired.

What caused my irony meter to overload was how well the reaction exemplified the point of the cartoon.

Slight tangent but it is related and long too so bear with me or just skip it. It's your choice.
I watched a documentary about a Pastor called Kenneth Copeland. Copeland offers salvation in return for donations, runs a college and many subsidiaries under his umbrella.. He raised cash through donations for an old people's village for example (which never actually materialised) and through the subscriptions and donations, has become virtually a billionaire.
Church affairs are not taxed in the US. There are lots of tax loopholes.
Copeland bought a piece of land and on it, he built a mansion classed as a pastorage (not taxable), a private runway and there is a hunting lodge as well as a Frisbee golf course and... they're drilling for gas oil (how convenient that the land had natural gas?) through fracking. As the fracking is occurring on Pastoral land, it's tax free.
Okay, nothing unusual about biblical level fraud as there are many very very wealthy pastors and what transpires about some of his donations (which make up for a very small percentage of his income), is the link to Israel. His organisation donated monies for cameras and surveillance equipment (for identifying ancient artefacts?!) as well as personal protection equipment and medical packs. It's a good spin - to make your activities look charitable and worthy.
Basically, you donate to receive salvation, the promise of a better life, literature, trinkets and T shirts.
What you also have is a network of evangelist pastors who have become very wealthy on the back of a tax free existence through God. The last thing you need is some liberal woke poking your nose in, threatening regulation and saying you descended from monkeys.
This leads on...
If you roll out this scenario across countless Pastors, you have a collective raising millions for Israel. (There are both Democrats and Republicans who feel that the links with Israel and their influence on US politics is a toxic relationship).
AIPAC: America-Israel Public Affairs Committee is an organisation formed to push pro-Israel policies in the US. AIPAC is deeply embedded is US politics.
What Trump does under his umbrella, is preserve the Evangelical faith (well, the people who have become very rich on the back of that) and maintain the Pro Israeli lobby. The line between Church and Politics becomes continually blurred.
What you have is a cocktail of white supremacist evangelists, media moguls, money, power and control and propaganda is easy to propagate. Propaganda is the tool to deflect from the fraud, wealth procurement and racketeering. The system keeps many people very wealthy of course they will be hell bent on preserving that even if it means demonising groups of people (as a form of deflection), especially those of a different ethnicity who don't necessarily have the political backing and protection. They are an easy target and why not use the opportunity to make money (Miller - Palantir) and political gain through deportations? Makes sense surely? There's no point doing anything unless it serves as self promotion and wealth procurement.
That's the problem with Mandani, he's going to do what?! Be non-partisan and stand up for the rights of individuals?! This is an alien concept to MAGA's (sold on the propaganda). His candidacy must have an underlying agenda created by the thought police and the deep state.
I digressed but I am still trying to get my head around the social and political fabric of the US.
