I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

Bcuz 1 of America’s 2 political parties gave up on democracy & the rule of law. Bcuz the other political party grew out of touch with working class folks. Bcuz too many people are untethered to truth. And bcuz of all that, a bad man won in Nov. And that bad man hired bad people. Like Stephen Miller.

Many of the people who voted for America's political disaster are paying no attention to the unfolding disaster. They don't follow the news. They think the libs are getting owned and that's enough for them. They're clueless about the damage they've done to everyone, including themselves.

The Republican Party decided long ago that lying was a great political tactic, way better than yard signs, door-knocking and robo calls. The GOP realized its lies cost nothing to produce, and right-wing media would happily spread them, also for free.

Trump reduced the tariffs on China in exchange for nothing. He paused the tariffs on Canada & Mexico in exchange for nothing. He postponed tariffs on EU in exchange for nothing. He threatened Russia with sanctions if they didn’t sign ceasefire & did nothing. Art of the Deal.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Vance is a genuine asshole, but I think he also sees assholery as a part of a winning political persona. What he misses is that lots of people see Trump as a fun asshole and that's why they like his schtick. But there's nothing fun about JD Vance and never will be.

The “fluoride removal” bit is a solution in search of a problem. Fluoride levels in Florida are completely safe, help prevent cavities, and keep kids in school. Where’s the evidence it’s been remotely harmful? There isn’t any. No ethics, no morals, all smoke and mirrors.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

There are downsides to the US being the worlds policeman. But in a case like this the US wld normally be convening other powers to help deescalate the situation btw India and Pakistan. Is anyone in Washington even paying attention? Vance I think just said the US doesn’t care.

I just think it’s hilarious that people went to college with the Pope. “What’s Ken up to these days? Partner at a law firm outside Pittsburgh, that’s nice. And Bob? Oh, he’s the Pope.”

The last fellas who came from Chicago, were given a rigorous education in Catholicism and then claimed to be on a mission from God? They destroyed a suburban shopping mall, wrecked about 300 police cars and ended up in Joliet penitentiary. Just saying.

I once met with a Missouri libertarian who was actively trying to defund public schools, and I asked how that would impact his own children. He has nine. He told me he homeschools them. I said you homeschool them? He said well, my wife… Yeah.

If you were born in 2007, that means you were 10 when Trump first entered office, entered high school during COVID lockdown, and entered college at the height of ChatGPT. I have to imagine you are functionally insane.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
