In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers. In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them. So you can see how clear it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

US has a trade surplus with the UK, already. Trade with the UK is just 3 percent of US total trade. Avg tariff on US trade w/UK is already just 1 percent. As Justin Wolfers said on MSNBC...this is not small potatoes, it's tiny little peas. Gains are likely to be a.) small and b.) inconsequential.

Hey everyone. It’s Feb 3rd, and the Democrats have been at home since Jan 24th because the house is out of session. They should have come back, the place is on fire. Get suing, messaging, demonstrating, speaking, everything and ANYTHING

Even with all the talk and fear-casting, I don’t think the good people in this country are even remotely prepared for how bad things are going to get next year, and how quickly that badness will come. It’s still an abstraction - hard to believe. But the guardrails are clearly not going to hold.

The greatest failure of the modern Democratic Party is the apparent belief that basic elements of politics -- selling your policies to voters and reminding them what you did for them -- is somehow tacky and beneath them.

UnitedHealthCare pretends to be in the health care business. Most media people repeat that nonsense. But the interest of health insurance companies is to pay as little as possible, so they are opposed to actual health care providers-hospitals, doctors, etc.-who want us to get the best treatment.

Ford pardoned Nixon. GHWB pardoned the Iran-Contra crew. Clinton pardoned Marc Rich and his half brother. Trump pardoned Steve Bannon, Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, and Charles Fucking Kushner! Joe Biden pardoning his own son doesn't come close to any of those truly controversial pardons. Get a grip.
