Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off

Apparently, Lindsey Graham's drunken Fox News bullshit isn't working in the more clear-eyed Middle East.
Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but Iβm still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers β and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
There seems to be a lot of people in Israel who have no problem killing innocent people. #Palestinians

American hubris is frigginβ disgusting and immoral.
We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

Like clockwork.
In other words, a war crime. Actually, not in other words. In those exact words.
Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich donβt create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people β and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.

Itβs FINALLY hitting you? Damn youβre DENSE!
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and itβs good sheβs gone.
But this doesnβt change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
Very strong statement from the First Lady of Iraq:
AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money launderingβ¦ So if youβre asking me if Iβd support impeachment, I do
This is an inside look at one of the major players in getting Alberta to separate from Canada. He is sleazy with close connections to Albertaβs Far Right premier. (She told him she wants to stay on as Alberta leader after it breaks from Canada.)

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
"The Peace President."
Not only *did* they start this war, they have no idea how to finish it.
