I somehow don't understand how someone can be a "genius" and "savvy" leader and at the same time lose 40 combat aircraft, including bombers, in one day, in their own parking lot.

Trump, due to his mental inadequacy, reliably detects opportunities for abuse, that is, in situations where a considerate, decent, and educated person would strive for something, he does the exact opposite. It is not an insult, but an observation, to infer that whoever voted for him is a sadist.

Well, it's a double malice from the Arabs. They're playing Trump (of course). But they're also showing US what it has truly become. A submissive slave who gets passive-aggressively gifted from time to time. This situation is so terribly stupid, on so many levels, that it's hard to even comprehend.

Think back to the feelings you had when you were bitten by a mosquito. That violation, alienation, disgust. Maybe you even killed it instinctively. That is exactly how people with mental limitations like Trump perceive... you. And unlike you, they have no remorse.

If, for example, Trump or his accomplice don't do something truly terrible today for tactical reasons, let's remember that they've already done it.

The idea that a complete loss of trust, centuries of effort, and trillions in societal wealth, all in few months, is really a big deal is just a footnote, compared to what Trump and his accomplices will eventually pull off in digital age. We are the society. Let's resist, while we can.

Because of course he calculated that if he took over the United States and did what only the biggest asshole would do in their name, Zelensky would have no choice but to surrender. Why this didn't happen, this idiot will never understand.

What happens when the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes like everyone else? We can invest in a stronger, fairer America — where every kid has a quality education and families aren’t bankrupted by one medical diagnosis.

Healthcare and education are human rights.

Blue is new black.

9k for abdomen CT scan in US? Not an expert but searching such service in the middle of Europe gives me 50-150 USD. Can this be right?

It was always a myth…

And today's: 7. rigid formations within towering backdrops 8. militaristic discipline 9. media savviness

"Ukraine should have 'courage of the white flag'" this Pope advised Ukrainians whose children - unlike him - will not be given the opportunity to die a natural death and be buried "simple, without particular decoration." These people say what they know is wanted to be heard. But credible it is not.

But it is over now. The damage is already too great from an individual's perspective, and can no longer be effectively concealed. Knowledge always converges to truth. Lies are not compatible.

Religion is Fascism: 1. centralized authority and absolute truth 2. suppresion of dissent 3. use of myth, symbolism and ritual 4. moral absolutism and group identity 5. promise of salvation or utopia 6. cult of personality (aka divine figure)

Let's not pretend that this is a different choreography, with a different purpose, than Nazi rallies. Stating power in order to push ideology that is constructed on a violent lie.
