“This is someone who made his money by ripping off American taxpayers and who shouldn’t come anywhere near a position of authority over tax dollars,” said Sen. Ron Wyden about Schuler’s appointment. “He’ll fit right in with the Trump administration.” By @peterelkind.bsky.social

Zelensky is not a dictator. Putin IS a dictator. Zelensky didn't start the war. Putin did. Trump is a chump. And Zelensky has been a great leader, taking Ukraine through one of the darkest periods in their history. I wish we had someone like that… But instead, we have Trump.

Traitor tRUMP the mob boss in action yet again doing his mob boss act. Nice little country you got there. It would be a shame if something happened to it.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Oh look, $200 million in waste by the federal government. $200 freaking million to lie about the border to "thank" traitor tRUMP, or rather feed his bloated ego. Funny how greedy thin-skinned bully Musk and his DOGE team missed this one. Why is that? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

I went to the White House web site yesterday. There is a link where you can send a comment. I asked why tRUMP always praises Putin & never once criticized him. I spelled his name as tRUMP. It felt good & made me laugh a bit. I think I will make a habit of mocking him using the White House web site.
