Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

Political cartoon showing an international tribunal with judges saying “À bientôt!” (“See you soon!”). Below them sit four handcuffed figures with blood on their hands representing different actors in global conflicts: a Russian military leader, an Israeli leader, a Hamas militant, and an Iranian cleric.
