As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

Who put this MFer in charge of the world?

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 — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Like clockwork.

Proving yet again one of my basic rules on navigating Trumpism: He will always replace an incompetent person with someone more incompetent.

NOPE

AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.

Well would you look at that

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Is this bad? It seems bad.

What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office

Not only *did* they start this war, they have no idea how to finish it.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Shouldn’t Fox pay Fetterman as a contributor at this point?

This fool misguidedly thinking he looks and sounds commanding when in fact he is well known to be a rapist, a pedophile, a friendless and petless wart who to this day is acting in a reality television show as president.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Hillary Clinton never even met Jeffrey Epstein, but was forced to testify about him. #CoverUp

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

After DEMANDING that Hillary Clinton's testimony on the Epstein scandal be held behind closed doors, and even threatening her with contempt for her insistence that reporters be allowed in, the GOP has been sending out photos and info to far-right influencers.

Hypocrisy is the GOP brand.

It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

It will be tough for America’s global reputation to recover after this absolutely shameful vote.
