All we win are flag draped coffins and higher prices on everything required for us to live and function every day and and an admin committing war crimes in this illegal and unconstitutional war for a convicted felon, pedophile and traitor to our Constitution and country! GOP hates all Americans!
“Section 14 of the Press Law ordered editors ‘to keep out of the newspapers anything which…tends to weaken the strength of the German Reich, outwardly or inwardly.’”

He's as deep as a mud puddle on a sunny day!
Women around the world recognize the lose-lose proposition here: emotionally immature men depend on women to keep them from making the worst possible choices and then demonize them for being killjoy nags.
ThOSE who could stop this—Congress GOP—instinctively know this and won't take the hit.
This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.

“Billions wasted on military buildup. US lives lost. And an affordability crisis about to smack into the American public like a truck speeding down the freeway.”
I'm working on a book outline that argues democracies rely on the constraint of power through functional verification, deliberation and accountability and how thats been hollowed out and captured in the US, and he just tweets it out.
Bummer!
They say there's a first time for everything!
I think it's the adoring echo chamber ass kissing that misleads them a tiny bit.

I knew during Trump‘s first term in the WH that his killing of close to 1 million Americans over his incompetence with Covid and his child separation and Muslim ban policies would just be the opening act to what he’s doing to our country now in his second term!
But hey, those damn grocery prices!
There seems to have been a pause between 2 waves of kittens.

You just know trump thought Iran would roll over like Venezuela did. I doubt there was any real planning at all, just silly faux macho posturing.
Yeah. My favorite politician is Elizabeth Warren. But it was extremely cool to have the chance to photograph him.
Green energy is the best way forward. These fools are fossils. Pun intended.
Thank you.
