www.economist.com/middle-east-... If anyone thinks this group of morons has thought this through you're as delusional as they are. I couldn't think of any worse 'leaders' as these clowns to be navigating current events successfully.

Trump, as always, has no plan, only bravado and bull$hit, and we'll continue to pay the price for generations for both his domestic and foreign 'policies'. The US can and must do better than the current clowns in office. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/u...

More American consumers are expecting higher unemployment since the crash of 2008-2009. Are we tired of winning yet? www.sca.isr.umich.edu/files/featur...

This is complete bullshit, the US does not need military parades or other dog and pony crap. This is autocratic nonsense. apnews.com/article/mili...

This really puts this self inflicted disaster in perspective. #maga #morons www.voronoiapp.com/markets/-Tar...

What say you? 👇 Mad yet?!

Trump and his family stand to gain substantially from their corrupt crypto ventures. The rest of the economy will be subject to large and unregulated risks. Beware. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-crypto-inc

Trump and Elon are closing the dept of education so they can renew their tax breaks

You mean like Bud Light?

Do we need any more proof that the vast majority of Republican politicians are a bunch of scared little wusses. Trump is a coward and a bully, stand up to him. What happened to courage and integrity in the USA? politicalwire.com/2025/03/19/m...

apnews.com/video/white-...  White House press secretary says French should be 'grateful' to US they are 'not speaking German'. The most unqualified administration ever, I guess one prerequisite is that they all failed grade school history. Such stupid simplifications make the world more idiotic.

We have not completely realized the damage we have inflicted. It will only become apparent years and decades from now. We have to change course, or the course will be changed for us. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

apnews.com/article/trum...  EPA head says he'll roll back dozens of environmental regulations, including rules on climate change. Of course he will, taking us back to the environmental degradation of the 1960's. Pitiful. #epa #science

Trump on 15 August: "Egg prices are up 43 percent". On that day the egg price index was $3.20 a dozen. Today, nearly two months after his inauguration, egg prices hit yet another record high at $5.90 a dozen. Now he wants everyone to "shut up about the egg prices". #trump #eggs #economy #prices

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

This 'administration' has thrown to the scrap heap a century of ally building, decency, and promotion of principles, all led by a sexual felon draft dodger, a Nazi sympathizer, and a hillbilly couch-rapist, as well as their sycophantic followers. #treason #traitor www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Nothing will ever trickle down.

Yup, no doubt, he's hiding something and we all know what it is. #trump #putinspuppet #disgrace #coward www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/o...

Rieckhoff: And what I would tell folks is: if they treat veterans like this, if they treat retired generals like this, how do you think they're going to treat everyone else? How do you think they're going to treat you? We are just first.

Political extortion, is this what we've become? Embracing enemies, shunning and shaming allies, gutting science research across the board, and upcoming increased tax breaks for the billionaire class. Trump Administration Pauses Intelligence Sharing With Ukraine www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/u...

Donald Trump famously believes that "trade wars are good, and easy to win," as he tweeted in 2018. The market, however, believes the opposite: That a trade war is bad, is easy to lose, and could plunge the U.S. into an avoidable recession.

As a veteran I find it appalling that a draft dodger con man and the worlds richest exploiter are doing this, but I am also ashamed that so many veterans couldn't see through the MAGA BS years ago. #education #veterans #disability apnews.com/article/trum...

This is subtle but nonetheless concerning. I received this e-mail today from the VA with a video from the director that I wanted to watch, because I'm intrigued by the title. But it's only available through Musk's Twitter. No text, no other options. Why Twitter? Makes one wonder. #VA #dougcollins

I guess Trump lost his nerve, it may have been ideal for him to research this issue beforehand . My prediction, he'll back off on many of these "red meat" initiatives because he knows they are unpopular with the majority of the US. But of course he'll claim victory. apnews.com/article/trum...
