Just knowing all nations are taking note that Ukraine's recent success was partly because they left the US out of the picture completely is ... a sweet undertone in the Trump reign of ignorance.

I don't care if the "Big, beautiful bill" (cough) flat out has Trump's minions going door to door dropping eleventy billion dollar checks into every household's hands (believe me, it doesn't) - the second it gives absolute power to ignore the judiciary (it does) that's a death knell to us all. Pass!

I think it's naive to believe putting the 10 commandments in school is suddenly going to bring Jesus into the classroom. At the end of the day, it's just a plaque with words. The same people feigning Christianity will still be moved by cruelty. What's on the wall changes nothing.

Spent $138 at the grocery store today, primarily fruits and vegetables - but a few other staples, too, and if anyone complains about the upcoming meals, I'm simply going to say, "Shut up and eat your tariffs!"

one thing that sucks about being american rn is that the helplessness you feel is probably at least in part a product of how much you've been conditioned to believe in the supreme value of individual acts when collective action is our only way out of all of this

I think it's bizarre that were dismantling democracy levels into the Trump presidency, and CNN's focus is Joe Biden. If ever there were a bastion of journalist integrity, CNN isn't it.

Read a headline from CNN that said, "Trump faces challenges that put his credibility on the line" and I laughed and laughed and laughed. Trump has no credibility. And neither does CNN.

Media is latching on to some corny story about Comey while Republicans in Congress are full on let's "86 American's healthcare, protections and rights... and even their lives." Where's the outrage on this?

I think it sucks that Malcom Kenyatta is potentially going to pay the consequences of David Hogg being incapable of understanding coalitions and unwilling to broaden his view.

I'd like to know what, exactly, the vetting process entailed for the Afrikaners who are being fast tracked to citizenship in the US.

submitted 20 days ago • 0 comments

Calling Afrikaners refugees is really out there. I guess their oppressors were really fattening them up for the cookout? In all honesty, though, wonder how much better off they'll find themselves here in America - where minimum wage does little to keep a roof over your head and your belly fed.

David Hogg is naive and has a lot to learn. I'm not going to crucify the guy, but... he certainly sees through a very limited lens. Hopefully time and experience will broaden his view.

Personally, since GOP is all in on Trump taking bribes, I say the first thing we do is take that free luxury jet, sell it and disperse the proceeds to feed the hungry and whatnot.

Who exactly are these white Afrikaners being fast tracked into our American system while those in dire need from true danger are being turned away? What do we know about them?

If I attempt to drown someone, then opt to resuscitate them, that doesn't make me a hero. I still attempted to drown them. I created the need for resuscitation. It would still be a crime.

I don't understand how paying people $1000 dollars to self deport is a win when they pour far more into our system through taxation that they can't file a return on if they stay. But, you know, I never learned MAGA math.

So, the lesson kids, is start drinking early and often and you, too, can hold a lofty position in the Trump circus.

With the first American ever to become Pope - one who is socially progressive in areas while we are also saddled with a derelict, reckless President who wants to be king, it kinda seems like the world is trying to tell us something. Maybe we should listen...

You mean to tell me that Chicago gets to claim Michael Jordan, the first Black President AND the first American Pope? Good lord you ain't going to be able to tell them NOTHING.

Governor Stitt vetoing a breast cancer screening bill for those at high risk which overwhelmingly passed by OK lawmakers because potential increased premiums are more detrimental than, I dunno... DEATH, is the most Republican thing ever.

Can OK St. Senator Dusty Deevers' wife give him some attention in the sack so the guy can quit obsessing over other people's marriages? Honestly, get over yourself Deevers. Far as I know, in my 8 years of marriage, it hasn't impacted you one bit, yet here you are sticking your nose in it. Creepy.

It's incredible that other world leaders have moments where they have to sit next to Donald Trump and feign normalcy while ignorance pours out of him. How they don't vomit in his lap is a miracle.

Just an aside, but can you imagine how infuriating it is for people being imprisoned by a felon. I mean, beyond the horror of no due process, just knowing a guy with all those felonies paying zero consequences is locking up others. Just insane.

“Where is your empathy for Trump supporters?” Me: I have empathy for anyone who’s been lied to. Until Trump supporters have the guts to admit they’ve been conned, they’re not victims they’re accomplices. When they’re ready to face the truth, they’re welcome to join the fight against this disaster.

I'm not quite sure how you get an American President who doesn't understand that his entire purpose is mired in the Constitution he has sworn to uphold, but I do understand a media that doesn't make this a front and center issue every single hour of the day is not doing its job.

If our government can (with the Supreme Court's help) force tax payers to pay for religious schools, then they sure as hell can do biblically instructed Christian things like house the poor, feed the hungry and take in the foreigner. I don't want to hear one single argument against it. Hypocrites.

Geez. Finally have the votes to at least say, "Nope." but not enough democrats show up for the vote? Sheldon Whitehouse is apparently out of the country. Can we... I dunno, just show up every body? Once? Maybe confront America's concerns at some point?

Senator Lankford said no one in Oklahoma thinks Trump's tariff debacle is going to be a long term, serious issue. Mr. Lankford is lying.

Trump's an idiot. This IS his market due to his idiotic tariffs, his idiotic policies, his idiotic threats, his idiotic yes men, his idiot spin doctors who can't speak truth to him, his idiotic voters, his idiotic congressional enablers & his idiot parents for their idiotic act of spawning an idiot.

Given that there is no civil disorder, insurrection or armed rebellion at present, senior military leaders need to consult with their JAG officers now about the potential need to disobey unlawful orders. They should also consult with Democrats on the House and Senate Armed Services Committees.

Simple reminder: Never let the failures of Trump rest only on Trump's shoulders. He is the albatross that should be hung from EVERY Republican's neck in Congress - his failures exist because THEY allowed, encouraged and signed on to every move he has made. Hold them responsible.

Afraid of his power. Power they give him. Republicans, too afraid to protect Americans from a madman whose only strength is the gasoline & torches they hand over to him b/c of the previous gasoline & torches they previously handed to him. There may be nothing weaker than a Republican legislator.

I dunno... when someone in the Trump Administration says, "No one is above the law!", it kind of rings untrue on account of all the kidnapping, human trafficking, false arrests, rights violations and stuff.

Why are Republicans pushing for more white births if they're just going to kill those offspring with lack of vaccines, lowered food safety standards, limited healthcare, discarded consumer protections and bullets for education? Makes no sense.

MAGA cried "WOLF!" during Obama and Biden's Presidencies and then delivered the actual tyrannical government that stomps all over constitutional rights and no one appears able to stop it. Chosen stupidity. It's infuriating.
