Substack isn't allowing me to respond to your polls--tells me I need to subscribe. It's doing a lot of that stuff recently--esp on stacks to which I am a paid subscriber

Are you using the web version or the app? And are you logged in? Perhaps there is a cookie problem? You might try logging out and logging back again. Something could be FUBAR with your login cookie.

And I am on a Linux (Zorin OS) laptop. Perhaps that’s involved. Certainly Proton makes trouble for me—the security comes with some negatives—cannot sent photos, some on-line payments won’t go through. Will try husband’s Microsoft piece.

Okay, let me know if you get it fixed. Also, are you using an ad blocker or other browser software that might mess up the Substack cookies? I’ve had that problem before with certain sites.

Thank you--web version (on laptop now) and am logged in. Thanks for trying solution options!

No problem whatsoever, I am sorry you are having this problem. I always try the login thing first on the app and web if I’m having problems. Sometimes clearing out your cookies and then logging in can fix it.

Substack is pretty good, but it does have its quirks and problems. Still very much a work in progress.

I want to believe he’s not this stupid, but then again, he did fall for the deep state plandemic bullshit and he believes everything Jared Kushner says…And we all know who Jared Kushner represents and how they want Iran to be bombed like Iraq.

Trump's not the brightest bulb in the ceiling, but he's not the dimmest, either. He does have a tendency to believe, and to spew, whatever someone told him last.

I don't know, but Trump was very clearly aware the Deep State was trying to kill him on July 13. I doubt he's forgotten that. He probably IS trying to signal that he's just not that much of a threat to them. I'm not sure it matters. They will either keep trying to kill him or they will not.

It's not characteristic of Trump to do anything other than blab exactly what's on his mind at the moment so I have a hard time believing he's doing anything other than that right now. More likely people he trusts that he shouldn't are feeding him bullshit, and he's repeating it. Because he's not a details guy and he doesn't read the fine print, he trusts other people to give him the elevator pitch. Which was his downfall first term and will be again unless a 70 year old dog has suddenly learned new tricks. I remain skeptical.

It truly is the nastiest shit sandwich I have seen in my lifetime. I must drag myself out to vote for the retard as the drunken slut will make Biden look like George Washington.

On the other hand, if she gets in, the empire’s collapse will be even faster than if Trump manages to prop it up for a few more years.

Yes, definitely! We would just finally go down quickly.

You missed the 3rd and most logical alternative:

The Orange Retard is totally bought and paid for by "dual nationals" and hardcore zionist genociders , as proven by the official "presidential actions" (a euphemism för executive orders given by his masters) taken during his previous tenure in the White House - withdrawal from the JCPOA agreement with Iran, decision to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem, assassination of IRGC's Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, "the peaceful bombing" of Syria etc...

FFS, can't you see who his greatest sponsors are?

I am well aware of all of what you just posted. It is no secret and hasn't been for ages. Why do you think it is somehow shocking or even surprising?

But it doesn't answer as to what Trump's game is here. He would still get the money you mentioned even if he did not publicly embrace the Iran narrative. Yet he has done so anyway, so I doubt the money is what motivated him. I think it's more complicated than that, and he knows it.

It might be obvious and a well-known fact, and yet you omitted the elephant in the room, how come? :)
