One aspect of functional illiteracy is a severely limited vocabulary. For example, adjectival nuance. trump has 2 go-to modifiers: beautiful and horrible. For women: beautiful and nasty. We have elected a lame brain.

Yes. #PutinsPoodle can stop the war. He’ll just give away the store. This is the first few shelves of canned goods and coffee. He’ll get to the meat counter once the “talks” gear up.

Oh? Some buses blown up in parking lots? Nobody hurt? Wanting to stop the negotiations? Israel pointing to it as excuse to rip the West Bank apart? Uh huhhh…. (‘Scuse me while I do the math.) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/w...

Remember Grover Norquist? Remember “Shrink the government till you can drown it in the bathtub”? Remember “Run the government like a business”? Ever considered that a business is by definition a dictatorship? Well? The reason the Republican senators are not resisting is: They’ve always wanted this!

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Finally… @nytimes.com lets trump have it with both barrels over Ukraine this morning. Tell the young people around you what “the 4th estate” means. Describe your memories of “crusading newspapers” and how they stood up to power. They may not be seen again…
