Formerly lots of different things. Once a believer in the collective wisdom of the American people. The 2024 election cured me of that delusion. I am against ignorance, apathy, cruelty, and selfishness. Almost anything else is welcome in my boat.

Men pulled Mr. Abrego Garcia out of his productive, loving life and threw him into a wretched prison in El Salvador. Now men like Trump and El Salvador's Bukele claim that they do not have the "power" to bring him back home. Trump's American agenda is fit only for Orwell and Kafka. NO ONE IS SAFE.

Trump's White House is now playing word games. Instead of agreeing to rescue Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the El Salvador prison into which they threw him -- as a federal judge and our corrupt SCOTUS ordered -- Trump's deep thinkers say they've only been told to FACILITATE, NOT EFFECTUATE his return.

Republicans may think everything's copacetic. 34 felony convictions. Fomenting a violent insurrection. No big deal to the GOP. But the world has been paying attention. They could write off 2016 as a glitch. But the fact that we went back for more. And this time with obnoxious JDV. AMERICA IS ALONE

At last, it's happened. Donald Trump calls our government fat & bloated. Elon Musk says that Americans are soft & spoiled. What seems to have occurred is some kind of time warp. The White House is now the Sun King's Court at Versailles. Or Mar-a-Lago. HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO STAND FOR THIS?

The MUSKRUMP CUTS to the NOA will have life or death consequences in my red state as well as all the others who are impacted by Deadly Tornadoes every year. It's data from the NOA's National Weather Service that saves lives. Maybe the Republicans want to privatize weather data. Then water & oxygen.

RFK Jr's come out swinging. He axed a program for developing a Covid vaccine in pill form. And he cancelled a committee analyzing what strains to include in next season's flu vaccines. Republicans claim they're all about pruning the federal budget. But RFK Jr's on track to prune the population.

Republicans are the party of tax cheats. Their billionaire donors are vampires sucking our lifeblood. Billionaires never have enough to quench their thirst. They'll hug our flag --maybe JD can even hump it. But the truth is, paying taxes is literally how we support our country. That's patriotism.

It's disturbing to hear Elon Musk, the country's biggest parasite, disparage the honesty & work ethic of civil servants. It's jarring to listen to empty heads like Alina Habba & Laura Ingraham disparage the importance of government jobs. "Go out & get a real job," snarks the bony-hearted Fox shrew.

I heard Rachel Maddow lament the firings of Joy Reid & the others. She said it was a bad decision all around. But that it was NOT HER CALL. Being bright is not enough. If you've got leverage, but are too fond of a big paycheck to use it, then please just stay quiet.

The 12 federal agencies that Musk & his crew have decimated ALL have ACTIVE INVESTIGATIONS of him & his business practices. He's making the government SAFE FOR MUSK FRAUD. In the Gilded Age, the robber barons used to bribe politicians. MUSK BOUGHT THE USA FROM THE TRAITOR OF JANUARY 6. GOP APPROVES.
