Are Jews white?

Will the next GOP primaries go to the Trumpyist? Will all this mishegos break the spell? No more Trump Derangement Syndrome. Now it's Deranged Trump Syndrome.

www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02... Does he not understand what it looks like when the richest man in the world accuses some middle class government drone of enriching themselves? Is he the least self-aware person in the world in addition to the richest?

NEW: @apnews.com has now been barred from an event in the Oval Office because it "did not align its editorial standards with Trump's EO renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America." In other words, b/c @apnews.com ACCURATELY calls it the "Gulf of Mexico," it is now being punished by Trump.

Reducing spending does have an impact on the deficit, assuming that's truly an objective you value, but raising revenue does the same thing. Musk spent a quarter of a billion dollars in order to get Trump elected and another forty million for Super Bowl ads supporting his agenda. My questions...

Sometimes you meet someone and think, "Yow, this guy is super smart."It's in their vocabulary, their listening, their compact movements, their ability to contextualize, their self-control, their curiosity. T is clearly not very smart but Elon also does not seem brilliant. Not even close.

I don't want to hear "The chaos is the point," one more time, as though the primary effect is your headache. Putting your thugs in charge of law enforcement and justice is the point. Starving brown people worldwide is the point. Blinding prying eyes is the point.

Y'know the scene in Bad Day At Black Rock where Robert Ryan fires Dean Jagger and then makes Lee Marvin sheriff? It feels like that.

T is happy to have contaminated the CIA agent list. Now he'll use them being exposed as a reason to fire them.

The richest man in the world, who spent a quarter of a billion dollars to get his candidate elected, wants the US to stop spending money fighting malnutrition overseas. It's psychopathic.

Who will save us?

Everyone fired without cause or notice needs to continue reporting for work. Make them physically throw you out. On camera.

Who is the leader of the opposition? Who is organizing strategy sessions, assigning issues, raising funds for lawyers and ads? I don't want to lie down while all this goes on. Where would I go? Who do I give to?Who's creating the network? Obama, Kamala, AOC, Shapiro, anybody with courage.
