Baby-boomer peers: They are destroying your 401Ks and taking away your Social Security. Is that enough - finally - to turn you against the GOP forever? To go out and protest in the streets?

If this is true… then they are trying to start up brutal racial unrest again, on top of the economic pain everyone is about to feel, so they can use violent force on protestors. I’m sure it will be worth the clicks though Ben.

I don't think there's precedent for this level of open corruption at the federal level, certainly not in the last 100+ years.

This is really rough. I’m as annoyed as anyone when I see a cyber truck, but why can’t we just quietly judge in our hearts?

After ten years, I will still never get over the fact that we knowingly decided to make our dumbest, cruelest person leader of the free world.

It's economically destructive and geopolitical insanity and bad for the United States in every possible way, but more than that, torching our relationships with our closest friends and literal neighbors in Canada and Mexico is a profoundly immoral thing to do, and should be denounced as such.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

People need to understand that we are in an entirely new paradigm. It is now Russia the US against Ukraine and Europe. This is not a shift in US policy, it is a transformation of what kind of country the United States is in the world

now would be a good time for liberals to make a massive investment in progressive media. decades of relying on the ny times/wapo/ap/cnn has been a failure and they're now more right-wing than ever. everything is turning into a miniature fox news and liberals dont want to put money into this.

The way predatory people like Musk operate is they get their foot in the door incrementally. Just comply with my email, what’s so hard about that? Then when people give in because they don’t want a hassle, he owns you. Then he comes back next time demanding something much worse.

Hitler said “close your hearts to pity” in 1939. Religious leaders today call empathy a sin while covering for the regime. It’s all this same moral numbing.

71 years old and finally achieving his dream of killing children. Not just some children here or there, like he's been doing, but thousands of children annually, systematically, by destroying one of the pillars of public health, one of the greatest achievements of humanity.
