For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Zero interest rates let some people in Silicon Valley luck into riches without much breadth or depth of knowledge, but because they became rich, they convinced themselves they are geniuses, and that their genius extends to everything, and thus their opinions about everything are informed by genius.

80 years ago today: Marines raise the flag on Iwo Jima. We in the pro-democracy camp fight for the America that won World War II, and for the America that after the war worked to further advance the American idea. We know what side we would have been on 80 years ago, and what side we're on today.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

The Trump tax scam permanently lowered the corporate tax rate to 21%—costing us $1.3 trillion. Corporations went on to buy back stock, give their executives huge raises, and price-gouge consumers. Nothing "trickled down" to workers or consumers. This is why we call it a scam.

Trump’s plans to pardon the Jan 6 insurrectionists is a slap in the face to the officers who risked their lives to protect OUR house & the congressional members within. It’s infuriating! Trump’s support for LE is all a lie.

Brace for Impact: “I’ve been told it’s going to be shock and awe as far as executive orders and all the lists of things that are going to happen on January 20th. And that they’re going to throw a lot into the first day.” - Bret Baier Trump is going to treat the presidency like a hostile takeover.

Puppet Trump has lost his last mind if he thinks that Democrats will agree to raise the debt ceiling RIGHT NOW, and allow him to dole out UNLIMITED BILLIONAIRE WELFARE unquestioned throughout his “presidency.” Republicans will control government, so THEY must pay the bills. Find some other suckers!

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

The Republican “Dep. of Gov Efficiency” is a distraction from their $4 trillion billionaire welfare scheme. If you were $10k in debt and worked hard to cut it to $4k, the next step would NOT BE TO BUY A $4M HOUSE. They want to cut from you, while THEY GET $4 trillion. It’s the GREAT AMERICAN SCAM!

Dems/media condemning Joe for pardoning Hunter right after a psycho who has spent 4 years ranting that he was going to go after him is the most toxic kind of phony virtue signaling imaginable. Don’t forget to pat yourselves on the back from your perches on the moral high ground.
