After the fall of the Roman Empire, Europe endured 900 years of decay and poverty, but at the end of those 900 years, the Renaissance, a time of remarkable artistic and scientific invention, began. Could the same thing happen here?

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

I think many people have a vague sense that Trump is racist, but they don't fully realize just how much the up and coming Republican staffer class is marinating in actual neo-Nazi propaganda online, because the media underreports this story. And it is only going to get worse in the coming years.

The first litmus test for the New York Times and Washington Post is successfully reckoning with and apologizing for their past coverage of Democratic presidential campaigns. If they can't convince news consumers that they've learned their lessons, people will continue to turn to other outlets.

Given how Pence stood next to Trump for four years projecting utter devotion, I can't believe he's one of the few from his party to show a spine, but these are strange days indeed.

Boeing secured an agreement to sell Qatar Airways up to 210 aircraft. The deal could draw more scrutiny toward Trump’s defense of Qatar’s offer to gift the U.S. a luxury 747 jet that will act as the new Air Force One. Well this system is working out for some of us. www.cnbc.com/2025/05/14/b...

Don't just shake your head over this. Move on to the next step: realizing that his supporters will buy it wholesale, and then a majority of the rest of us -- led by the mainstream media -- will excuse them and downplay the severity of Trump's corruption and the ridiculousness of this statement. .

Loomer may not be as dumb as she looks, though her critique of Qatari shill Pam Bondi seems like projection if you look closely at Laura's (unsolicited?) op-eds about gas and oil of late. If it reads like payola, it's probably payola, right?

Beyond the open bribery, it's insane to use a foreign gifted jet as Air Force One from a security standpoint alone.

“the president toured a half-billion dollar luxury 747 owned by the Qatari government which it then gave to him as a ‘gift’ and then he used it to replace Air Force One with the plan of keeping it after leaving office” is the most insane corruption any president has ever done and should end Trump
