Pet peeve over the day: TV journalist need to stop using the phrase “all eyes will be on…” No, not everyone on earth will simultaneously watch whatever it is you’re telling us all eyes will be on.

How sad that Pope Francis spent any of his last moments with JD Vance, that regrettable piece of shit. If there is a god, something good would have been planted in Vance’s dark heart.

Wow! As clearly unqualified as Pete Hegseth was to become secretary of defense, even I expected him to last longer and do better than this. Please remember that his appointment is a reflection of the judgment of our president and with the complicity of the Republican members of Senate.

This is a group of AmeriCorps volunteers in Muskegon, MI who just learned that their program funding has been cut by DOGE. They are all being sent home at the end of this week, seven months before their program was supposed to end. A beautiful program slashed so oligarchs can keep their tax cuts.

No single human should have the power to tank the global economy. Our system is broken. Trump needs to go and Congress needs to do its job.

Want to do something to get the Republican’s attention and resist? Just quit buying things! Nothing like a massive drop in consumer spending to crash an economy.

Why tariffs will cause a disaster: 1) For many products there is no US industry to supply. 2) Where there is US supply, there is no capacity to ramp up. 3) Only an idiot would build a new factory in the US based on tariffs; the future is too uncertain. 4) Demands will exceed supply, prices will rise

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

Can anyone provide a rational argument in support of Trump’s tariffs? If he’s trying to level the playing field with nations that impose tariffs on US imports, aren’t there ways to do this without making us pay tariffs? If he’s trying to strengthen US manufacturing, who’s available to work?

Signalgate: Every participant in this chat should be fired or impeached. Trump’s idiocy in appointing this unqualified and careless group to cabinet positions is unforgivable. He must be impeached. Can you even imagine the uproar from the Republicans if the Democrats had done this?

How long would Trump’s senior cabinet members have continued to discuss highly sensitive info on unsecured apps if they hadn’t accidentally included the editor of The Atlantic in their chat? Where other crap are they pulling that hasn’t hit the news? This is only the smoke…what’s in the fire?

Anthem Medical Insurance denies claims for air ambulance services because they were not pre approved. Seems most people requiring a life flight are not gonna have an opportunity to get pre-approval! Great example of why a murdered can become a folk hero.

Over 90% of the Great White North flatly refuses the notion that we’d be better off part of America’s Kakistocracy. 92% would take up arms and a staggering 80% categorically hate America’s rapist in Chief.

A kakistocracy is a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. The word was coined as early as the 17th century, and is derived from two Greek words,

Dear Democratic Party, I’ll donate money when you demonstrate that you can pull off a strategic and effective resistance to MAGA. Until then, quit asking and quit behaving like losers.

Did you know that the Saturn 5 rocket never had a major catastrophe? Seems to me there’s a good argument to be made in favor of the careful and conscientious approach that created the Saturn 5 vs. the SpaceX approach when real lives and public funds are at risk.

David Frum’s explanation for Trump and Vance’s treatment of Zelenskyy: “He shames them. Every time Vance looks at Zelenskyy he sees a better man. And he hates it because, if you’re JD Vance you have to know that you’re a troll, you’re a bully. You’re just a lesser person.”

Can you imagine if Roosevelt had pushed for Churchill to resign so another British leader could make peace with Hitler during the London Blitz? This is the stance of the current Republican Party towards Zelensky.

If ever there was evidence that we should doubt the wisdom of those who support Trump, It’s captured in the last sentence of the attached paragraph from an article in The Atlantic.

IMPEACHMENT NOW!! We’ve all just witnessed a mob-style shakedown of a small nation struggling for its survival. Zelenskyy must never agree to a mineral deal without a multilateral security guarantee. Trump and Vance are traitors to everything America has stood for.

How on God‘s green earth does JD Vance dare to call Zelensky disrespectful? What right does that Ivy Legue putz have to show disrespect to that man after what his country has been through these last three years? What the hell has become of the United States of America?

How many times did Trump repeat the phrase? “you don’t have the cards“ to Zelensky? Trump has no moral character. The point is, you do not invade a sovereign nation. Impeachment now! Trump is a traitor to all that America has stood for.
