As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

Don’t expect the stupid people who voted for Trump to have an AHA moment if they lose their social security, job, Medicare or food stamps. They’ll continue playing the victim and “leaning into The Lord” without taking any responsibility for their decisions. They’re incapable of connecting the dots.

Trump and his henchman, Rubio, Waltz and Ritkoff have forced us to become ghoulish partners with thug war criminals as they figuratively took a bonesaw to Ukraine's resources, dividing war spoils amongst themselves, fittingly, in Riyadh. A dishonorable national disgrace. America is not great.

Hey bros in my replies telling me to “cry harder”, 89 people were cut in the FDA’s human foods program over the weekend, including staff with expertise in infant formula safety. I’m sure that shit won’t affect you right? Not people you love? Infants you love? Just us Libs right?

A lot of folks don't fully comprehend the difference between a million and a billion, so here's an example: A million seconds = 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds. A billion seconds = 31 years, 259 days, 1 hour, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds. The difference is pretty huge.

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

Something you really need to understand glancing casually at any Twitter thread about the layoffs is yes, millions of Trump voters legitimately believe there are just a million federal employees who are paid to do nothing. Largely, this is because absolutely no pushback to that claim ever existed.

The cost-saving claims don’t hold up. Every dollar in NIH research grants generates $2.46 in economic activity, research shows—a total of $93 billion in 2023 alone. “It’s incredible to me that we would give up this thing that has such obvious societal benefits,” says biologist Mark Peifer.
