If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

An interesting quote I saw relevant to now. "Power does not corrupt, power reveals " Power reveals the core of DJT. A "King" wannabe. Corrupt based on his upbringing. We can hope that now in Trump 2.0 others see that now as he really is. Not trying to "save America" but rather to take it over.

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

Maybe they were hoping for an eventual presidential pardon?

Amen to this!

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Interesting study on the "leach" states compared to the "contributor" states. Leach states are primarily in the south and Midwest, and tend to vote red. Make your own conclusions from this... www.axios.com/2025/02/12/s...

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

But I, and the poster of this, should remind the world that "it is not my fault". I did my best to prevent this shit show that we have now.

Good on her! 🔥 Courage is needed right now! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

Interesting 'disagreement' between Pope Francis and the MAGA 'Catholic' VP Vance. One of them believes in the "What would Jesus Do" and the other believes in MAGA. www.commonwealmagazine.org/francis-trum...

Excellent point! But what Trump really wants is to build a "Trump Hotel" in Gaza.

Elon Musk complains about an "unelected Federal bureaucracy". But that is EXACTLY what he is pretending to be. wapo.st/3X3cD0z

The intro to my local news just announced: “For the 1st time since June, inflation is on the rise again”. Are we great yet? #ProudBlue

Once again, Trump appears to be Putin's lapdog (while pretending to be strong). Trump opposes Ukraine into NATO. I still think Putin has some 'goods' on Trump... Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/w...

Because they know the demographics are against them over time, the GOP (who I used to support) is all about suppressing the vote. wapo.st/4aRi0pf

let’s heal the divide between the far left and liberals online @whstancil.bsky.social, the petty squabbles of the past are meaningless now from what’s happening in the US. let’s build the iron front against the takeover of the country and internet narratives by the far right

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

did not realize this and show you how the right-wing has figured it out (how to control the masses).
