Used to be that Nazi salutes were a sure signal someone was anathema, but now trump's right hand guys are tossing their arms up like extras in a WWII Nazi movie.

Is it crazy to think that the many senior citizens who flood Trump rallies quite possibly rely on Medicare and Social Security? And that when he takes it away they might just turn on him?

How dare Trump blame Ukraine for Russia's invasion! Manafort's work on behalf of Russia to destroy Ukraine's democracy was incomplete, so Trump is going to finish the job. Putin is surely enjoying this. As R's like to say, Elections have consequences. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"Elections have consequences" is quite a far cry from "let's let the android from X steal our government while the President takes naps"!

#Trump is ignorant of the peace that NATO and the UN kept throughout the most dangerous century and he is plunging us back to WWI-era colonialism. With his Fascist VP and Secretary of Defense, he is making dangerous decisions that will embolden Putin to invade more of Europe. Europeans know better.

#ElonMusk had better start closing up shop soon. Once the American People realize he is a carpet bagging robber baron, they'll chase him back to Mars!

In Creative Mythology, the great Joseph Campbell wrote of the expansion of the human spirit after the Enlightenment as the sloughing off of literal religious dogma and the birth of the creative intellect. #MAGA uses Christianity as an excuse to revert to a finite & challenge-free microcosmos. Sad.

#CongressionalRepublicans: #Trump, #Hegseth, #Vance, and #Musk are the best the GOP has? "Gulf of America", "Take Russia, Vlad", "Vote Fascist, Europe!", and "Gimme all the money in unmarked bills" is NOT a good look. Add #RFK dumpster fire - "Make America's Germ Active". Your leaders are morons!

#MAGA must not erase #stonewall #diversity or the American Dream. They must not dump international treaties with our allies and friends, or perpetrate #ethniccleansing to create a #riviera for playboy golfers, nor steal the treasury and rip the safety net, or eliminate #birthrightcitizenship. Basta!

#SenateRepublicans and #SenateDemocrats you should be on the same team now: Preserve the Constitution and Separation of co-equal branches of government. I'm looking at you, #JohnFetterman and so many others who want to go along for career longevity.

Just heard #Musk stating that we shouldn't have any regulations, period. Does he seriously believe in the honesty of corporations, being completely dishonest and heartless himself?

My tune of the day - Robert Ballard, Angelique no. 1 is a lovely setting of a French Air de Cour, witten for the Red lioness herself, Angelique Paulet of La Chambre Bleu, arranged for solo 10-course lute. It's a miniature window into Henri IV's court. youtu.be/jRBDFO_BBoo?...
