There will be blood on his hands.

That interview with Samantha Powers, who was the head of USAID, on Rachel Maddow was heartbreaking. You could see it is her life’s mission to do this humanitarian work.

So hear me out. If we all adjusted our W2 withholdings to $0 for a month or two, we might get someone’s attention….

hey, remember when WaPo was ignoring Project 2025 to instead both-sides whether Kamala was black?

Hopefully, China will fill the void.

China or Russia

I think Russia is a little occupied at the moment. In any event, I’m beginning to realize we’re not much different than either of the two.

Agreed mister P has others fish to fry but Africa has a lot of natural ressources

And whether they give them to Russia or China, makes no never-mind to me. We deserve to lose it all to other powers.

China will be more than happy to step in!

“Democracy dies in the darkness”

Remind me— which billionaire oligarch forbade his pet news agency from making a presidential endorsement?

So we let the poor be taken over by our enemies. We can either help them or we can fall to our enemies as they slowly take over the world. As usual Trump has a narrow vision. Destruction is what we are in for and Congress just watches.

Suspending USAID should not be congress's priority. Congress should communicate to the executive branch that its powers can not be undermined. Congress should make it clear that treason and sedition will not be a pardonable offense.
