Buffoonery aside, I think a lot of Americans can't process that multiple generations of Germans renounce and revile past actions rather than treat them as an aspect of of their culture that must be maintained.

What’s ridiculous about this is how immature it is. The world‘s richest man and the world‘s most powerful man have no admirable qualities, they are immature, petty, rude, disrespectful, and unkind. This is not a person to look to as a prototype of anything but cruelty.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

President Trump has long amplified debunked or baseless theories. On Saturday, he shared a conspiracy theory on social media that falsely claimed former President Biden had been executed and replaced by a robot. It was the latest outlandish claim he has promoted online to millions of followers.

I love how Rs are always given the free pass to 'not be informed' about what their own party is doing or the President is doing because they've been saying 'I haven't seen it' for 10 years now and that's good enough. Tweets, pressers, statements. They always look away for some reason and that's OK.

You're seeing America kamikaze itself into a brick wall. It didn't have to be this way. But greed and racism, our two sins, will be our downfall. Too many people still with their hands in the sand.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.
