Iā€™m so sick of people saying this shit, especially elected officials. Heā€™s the president. Declaring himself a king after issuing an order just the day before that says heā€™s the final authority on all laws isnā€™t a goddamn distraction.

Vance calls Zelenskyy "disgraceful" for pushing back on Trump's claim that Ukraine started the war. If Trump tells you that night is day, you'd better echo him or you will pay. America is now a predator nation. thenationalpulse.com/2025/02/19/e...

Trump = performative, ignorant clown Musk = performative, ignorant clown GOP congress = weak sycophants Fox News = disinformation lubricant applied to the average GOP voter <<<< end >>>>

Again, I don't understand why Fortune 500 & Wall Street CEOs are silent about this. "They want low taxes" & "they're in the tank for Trump" are not convincing explanations. Or, if they are, then they're idiots & we never should have treated them as savvy business genius Masters Of The Universe.

Wake up Trump voters ā€¦. tyrants lurking far and wide. Trump cares nothing about his oath of office.

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congressā€™ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent. This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees. Same DOGE is requiring. Make every @gop answer

šŸ’Æ Biden, Obama, Bush, and Clinton need get active ASAP and push for a stop to this DOGE madness.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Where were they during the 2024 election ? Very little thatā€™s happening now should be a complete surprise. Trump was unhinged throughout his campaign. The sanewashing of Trump started in early 2024 by prominent business leaders.

A Secretary of Defense who knew what he was doing would have read that speech before he gave it and then made sure to coordinate with the White House and NSC before reversing some 80 years of U.S. policy and leaving Europe in the lurch while the biggest war since the 1945 was underway.

Just despicable and disgraceful. The US government is now indistinguishable from the mafia.

Regarding RFK, Jr confirmation today, USA should feel the utmost shame. We are supposed to be world leaders in the pursuit of truth, technology, and science. Shame on every Senator who voted for RFK,Jr and shame on healthcare CEOs that were mostly silent.

So far in the last 24 hours, Russia's gotten: - a sympathetic ear/voice installed as DNI - the release of a crime boss - Hegseth ceding Crimea to them - Trump offering a WH visit - The US acting as middleman rather than Ukraine ally

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts Iā€™ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying ā€œWhy are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? Thatā€™s wasted money !ā€ globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

ā€œPOTUS staff walks back President Trumpā€™s remarksā€ gets really damn old. 10+ years of this petulant child. smdh

One reason why Congress needs to secure the power of the purse is, if they don't, Musk and Trump will extort states during elections. They will simply say, vote for us and get your funding. A vote for Dems means we turn off the funds.

Andreessen on X acting like everything is fine with Musk and his minionsā€™ behavior. Andreessenā€™s USAID and ā€œfree speechā€ posts in the last 24 hours are pure gaslighting. If you work at a16z, you should confront him to his face if you truly care about US democracy. Very sad.

Only 3 years and 50 weeks to go

Itā€™s McCarthyism via executive fiat, directed by the worldā€™s richest and most online man who thinks a thing called ā€œthe woke mind virusā€ has infected many parts of the federal government and will destroy ā€œwestern civilizationā€ if not ripped out root and branch. Itā€™s John Bircher anti-communism, 2.0.

Oh, the freak out was justified. Weā€™re still destroying American influence and goodwill one confrontation at a time.

It seems like the early takes are weighted towards the Mavericks assimilating more quickly than the Lakers because LeBron typically needs the ball to execute (much like Luka). I donā€™t agree. LeBron and Redick are too smart to not integrate Luka quickly and efficiently. #nba

Forget the last decade for a moment. Letā€™s focus on the last 7 months. WSJ, CNBC, Murdoch, Bezos, Soon-Shiong, and the boards across most US news media should be ashamed of themselves. Trump was a liar, a racist, and an unhinged, rambling idiot in speeches and debates, and it was constant EXCUSES.
