Yes, every vote, specifically your vote, my vote, our vote, matters in 2024 in USA 🇺🇸 and everywhere. Everyone, Register *and* VOTE! 🗳️https://vote.gov "For Shits and Giggles" (idiomatic, vulgar) For no particular reason, just because it is fun or entertaining; or to relieve boredom. synonyms ▲ Synonyms: for grins, for the heck of it https://lnkd.in/e3wEPcHY https://lnkd.in/emznYaUu

My newest video has to do with a wild few days in the Republican Party. You can find it here: https://lnkd.in/gDxyp2wi

At this point in time this needs to be understood.

For the first time in a month, Trump has retaken the lead over Harris in national polls. They will debate tomorrow, and it will probably be their only one. In this video, Hasan gives tips to Harris on how to get under Trump's skin to get him off his game: 1) remind him he is a convicted rapist; 2) accuse him of being the puppet of foreign governments; and, more. It's fun to listen to for liberals and progressives (like me). https://lnkd.in/gMRDvEgX

Donald Trump sees new wave of support from wealthy donors amidst his conviction in New York City. Here is a list of new wealthy donors who are considering or have already pledged support for Trump: Doug Leone, Sequoia Capital: "I have become increasingly concerned about the general direction of our country, the state of our broken immigration system, the ballooning deficit, and the foreign policy missteps, among other issues. Therefore, I am supporting former President Trump in this coming election." Forbes net worth: $7.9 billion. Shaun Maguire, Sequoia Capital: Announced on X that he was donating $300,000 to Trump after donating to Hillary Clinton in 2016. David Sacks, Craft Ventures: Hosting a fundraiser for Trump in the Bay area with tickets costing $300,000. Chamath Palihapitiya, Social Capital: Hosting a fundraiser for Trump in the Bay area with tickets costing $300,000. Bill Ackman, Pershing Square: Likely to back Donald Trump after supporting Democrats in the past according to the Financial Times. Forbes net worth: $4.3 billion. Steve Schwarzman, Blackstone: Announced he will be backing Trump for the 2024 election, saying he shares "the concern of most Americans that our economic, immigration and foreign policies are taking the country in the wrong direction."

Not POLITICS. Country First. Democracy First. The Rule of Law FIRST.

CONGRESS is KEY we need a PRO Business Congress.

Duh! Perhaps, this will cause more of his extreme supporters to recognize how they’ve been duped and conned by the former president who only looks out for himself and is the poster child of narcissism. “Former President Donald Trump's recent acknowledgment that he lost the 2020 election has rattled prominent far-right figures, with some saying they will lead a campaign to keep him from being elected in 2024. At least three times in recent weeks Trump, the 2024 Republican party nominee, has acknowledged that he lost in 2020 "by a whisker." "He beat us by a whisker. It was a terrible thing," Trump said of President Joe Biden during a 45 minute interview Aug. 4 with podcaster Lex Fridman. He used similar language at an Aug. 30 Moms for Liberty summit and an Aug. 23 press event at the Southern border. Despite frequently and falsely claiming that he actually won the election and making the issue a central point of his 2024 bid, Trump has occasionally over the last few years admitted that he lost. Trump lost the popular vote to Biden by 7 million votes and the Electoral College by 74 electoral votes. His effort to overturn the election culminated in Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters hoping to stop the certification of his defeat.” #nooneisabovethelaw #justice #accountabilty #stoptheinsanity #voteoutMAGARepublicans #ethics #commonsense #leadership #integrity

Welcome to the Ultimate Showdown: Conning Conundrum Syndrome vs. Trump Derangement Syndrome! In one corner, we have... Conning Conundrum Syndrome (CCS)! - Symptoms: Unshakable loyalty, denial reflex, and the blame game shuffle. Victims insist they haven't been conned by Trump and Putin, despite overwhelming evidence that could make a blindfolded jury shout "Guilty!" And in the other corner, we have... Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)! - Symptoms: Uncontrollable eye-rolling at the mention of Trump, spontaneous fits of fact-checking, and an intense urge to debunk every tweet. Accused sufferers vehemently oppose Trump, sometimes with a fervor that rivals a sports fan during the playoffs. CCS - "Conning Conundrum Syndrome" is like having a GPS that stubbornly refuses to recalibrate. You're headed for a cliff, but it keeps saying, "Turn right in 100 feet." You’re convinced the destination is glorious, but spoiler alert: it’s a steep drop into reality. TDS - "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is like having a highly sensitive radar that detects every single Trump-related blip, no matter how small. You’re hyper-aware of every move, comment, and typo, often resulting in high blood pressure and a sudden urge to tweet. Denial vs. Obsession - CCS: "No way, Trump’s perfect!" - TDS: "No way, Trump’s terrible!" Blame Game vs. Blame Flame - CCS: "What about those emails?" - TDS: "What about that tax return?" Loyalty vs. Paranoia - CCS: "Trump could do no wrong." - TDS: "Trump can do no right." The Hilarious Hypocrisy: - CCS sufferers are like fans at a magic show, utterly convinced that the magician’s tricks are real, while TDS sufferers are the skeptics yelling, "I see the wires!" - CCS Remedy: "Come on, admitting you've been conned isn't that bad. Think of it like realizing the magician pulls rabbits out of hats, not thin air." - TDS Remedy: "Hey, take a breath. Sometimes it’s okay to let a tweet pass by without a full investigation. Not every blip is a bombshell." In the grand scheme of things, both CCS and TDS could use a little bit of perspective, a dash of humor, and a lot less stress. After all, life’s too short to be stuck in a syndrome, right? So, whether you’re staunchly defending or constantly critiquing, remember to laugh along the way. Because in the end, we’re all just trying to navigate this crazy world, one conundrum at a time.
