I agree. Still nuts!

A show of hands?

Is this real? I understand this is out of context, but it makes no sense in any context.

They are completely out of control and yet, I admit to some hesitance in saying nothing surprises me anymore.

It’s a good day to ask again “What more can I do?”

That too.

Timothy Snyder is saying it out loud… what some of us have been thinking for awhile. It is the orange one’s only hope.

Sickening!

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

Another day of interest on the tariffs Trump collected and refuses to give back. American consumers paid the tariffs, American taxpayers pay the interest on Trump holding onto the money as long as possible. Every day the bill goes up.

I have felt the same ever since he entered politics. The power of propaganda and media ownership are his « winning » combination. We also have a failure of some Americans- too many- to think critically and care beyond themselves. I would like to see a breakdown by income of who supports him still.

I didn’t realize I was doom scrolling but…

‘I Genuinely Am Upset That Your Kids Are Vaccinated’ Del Bigtree, a longtime ally of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., isn’t just anti-vaccine. He’s pro-infection.

It's as if they understand and accept the facts and/or expert consensus on a given topic but set policy in the opposite direction to annoy the libs.

Some good news…

Horrific and true

Ugh

More corruption. More Lies. More destruction. More insanity.

Huh?

Just curious, how long does it take to obliterate an already obliterated nuclear program?

Asking for 8.3 billion friends.

In 2019, New Mexico started looking into possible crimes at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch. The Trump DOJ’s federal prosecutors stepped in, told the state to stop their investigation, and hand everything over to the feds.

New Mexico agreed, shut it down, and the whole thing basically went nowhere.
