"It cannot be stated often enough or vociferously enough: the Trump Administration is helping Russia to conquer Ukraine. The United States of America has taken the side of an aggressor against its innocent victim."

Letting people with severe mental illness and addiction rot and die on the street and completely dominate the public realm is not a progressive ideal. The families that rely on transit, libraries, parks and streets deserve safe, clean, comfortable, corpse free spaces.

The Vice President who built his political identity on a fabricated story about immigrants eating pets in an Ohio city of 60,000 people, then watched bomb threats shut that city down for weeks, is now very concerned about the quality of American political discourse. Noted. The debate he wants to have freely and openly is the one where nobody brings receipts.
.@VP torches a Radical Left lunatic in Kansas:
"The only chance the Democrats have is to interrupt and shut down the debate — because what we have a free and open debate, the American people will realize that all the Democrats are selling is a fat load of BULLSHIT."

If he keeps saying things like that, it will become impossible for Canadians to pay for their own drinks in any bar in the democratic world.

A remarkable claim that got my attention, explained with a remarkably absurd attachment to simple correlation and bad math. Just literally invented whole cloth. I don't know why people feel the need to do this.

I’m not sure what’s more disturbing: that he keeps talking like this or that grown adults laugh at him like they’re twisted voyeurs at a sideshow act and not an audience listening to the President of the United States.
Trump: "So I'm studying him. And I made the mistake of saying that I started off by studying his ass. I just wantasink. And then I looked at his feet and they were massive. I made the mistake of studying his anatomy. Maybe I should do that with Ken Paxton, but I'm not sure your body is gonna qualify."

"What we seem to be getting back to is the nineteenth century. Then politics tended to be centered on the fight between liberals (broadly speaking), and illiberals or anti-liberals.
That struggle, and the various victories and defeats of each side, defined the history of many nations throughout that era. We thought for a while that we’d moved beyond that. We were wrong."

I dunno, the likes of Google and Apple sure cared about Trump renaming stuff, as they had their map apps change the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. If this is a non-issue, then why did they do that? They're obviously concerned about some sort of retribution.

Good @WSJ dive into the World's Dumbest Tariff:
"America Needs Canada’s Aluminum. Trump’s Tariff Exposed Just How Badly." wsj.com/business/aluminum-ta…
"Trump’s trade war has cast Canada’s aluminum smelters as the enemy—and U.S. businesses and consumers are paying a price."
If a Democrat is elected in 2028, I'm waiting for this POS to recover from his current muteness and freely criticize their economic policies, as he has remained resolutely silent throught the entirety of this ongoing tariffs nonsense. Real profile in courage there. 1/2
Jamie Dimon to a country that pulled its gold out of New York: you have three armies within 400 miles, while gold in America is protected by two oceans and the US military
“If we have the strongest military in the world and the strongest economy in the world, we will be the preeminent reserve currency. It is those two things.”
“I was in a country somewhere in the Middle East, and also in Europe, and the people said, we took our gold out of the vaults in New York City and moved it to our country. You know what I said to him? I said, you have three armies within 400 miles who can come take your gold.”
“That’s the real world. You’re not thinking clearly about safety. That gold is protected by the Atlantic, the Pacific, the United States military, the rule of law.”
“But if we are not the preeminent military and economy, you will see our reserve status come down.”
2/2 Dimon actually praised Trump's tariffs in Jan. 2025. Zero doubt he won't hesitate to criticize the policies of the next Dem POTUS.

they're not worried about invading countries taking the gold, they're worried about the united states taking the gold

mocking the gaudy decor of the Cheesecake Factory is coastal elite snobbery, but it’s A-OK to knock a lodging chain that’s sheltered tens of millions of truckers, seasonal workers, and families traveling on tight budgets. got it got it got it. just memorizing the rules!
