He can call it chopped liver for all I care. Congress will still fund it, and US service people are being killed and injured as are Iranian soldiers and citizens. Seems like war to me. Jesus.

I don't really get why she's so upset, but whatever.

Are you talking about the Independent Party in CA, otherwise, I didn't know there was an official Independent party.

There are more Republicans indicated for voter fraud than Democrats.

Take Russia, for example.

The Putin/Trump connection can't just be blackmail ... it must be love. /s

Medicaid slashed; ACA slashed; Medicare soon to be slashed; Consumer Fraud division slashed; Stock market oversight slashed; Civil rights enforcement slashed....if we ever get our democracy back, we'll have to start all over from 1945 on...

Don't they need to be modified to meet Canadian standards, or is that just in the US?

Horrible. One person, one vote. That billions are poured into our elections makes it no longer a democracy at all. Overturn Citizen's United.

I've only ever seen our County Lifts bus pick up 1 (looks like white) person at a time for $6. They wouldn't stop by my address when I was disabled because...I'm still not sure why. Didn't want to, I gather. I relied on Uber which averaged $10 a ride.

lol. The emperor's cabinet.

Iran controls the northern part of the strait while Oman controls the rest. Oman complies with international law. Iran no longer does. Most of the oil and liquified natural gas is from Saudi Arabia and services primarily Asian markets.

lol. Sort of reads like the banned book list that I have posted on my fridge.

This is expressly why religion is protected by the Constitution and why there is supposed to be a separation of church and state. Is this hate speech or protected 1st amendment stuff, is my question?

In practice, Congress has not declared war since WWII, but Congress has never failed to fund wars, regardless of congressional leadership (Dem vs. Republican). And Congress will not fail the president again, I fear.

I think Trump has reached the zenith of his incompetence, don't you?

We know. We know.

I worry more about the US's nuclear capability under this incompetent and mad regime (ours).

They may not be kidding about this Armageddon thing.

I'd like to hear the famous Nixon defense..."They all do it. He just got caught." They do?

I don't think I've watched or read legacy media since Trump was elected.

Yeah. It is simply obscene to rely on oil and gas, either domestic or foreign.

lol. If you can make up facts, you can make words apply to whatever you want. This is nonsensical, but then, what's different?

10.03.2026 19:40 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes. We used to have a press that would keep tabs on the administration's fudged figures, but it doesn't seem to be so now.
