#uspol The United States is the world’s biggest producer of both oil and natural gas, and Mr. Trump has made it a priority to increase exports of these fossil fuels. That's the REAL reason he refuses to acknowledge climate change. Not so - everyone else. Who's he going to sell the oil and gas to?

And let's be clear. tRump cancelled his meeting with the Dems on the CR. So it's tRump's shutdown - call it for what it is. Make him own it.

Sure... I've heard that before... the Mitch McConnell tactic of promising future agreements and then reneging. Don't buy the BS.

Seems like free speech, and in particular, political free speech, continues to be censored, despite having a permit. This government is not going to stop their censorship, especially when it links tRump to Epstein. Release the files!

"rounds were found near the suspected shooter containing 'messages that are anti-ICE in nature,' FBI Director Kash Patel posted an image of rounds on X." Sorry, Kasshole Patel has no credibility. Two dead, one injured, all detainees . Shooter kills himself. Hmm! I'd like an independent investigation

It's been my experience that when you want to influence how people behave, and respond to you, starting by ridiculing them is a highly ineffective way to achieve your goal.

Personally I believe the use of Ivermectin is linked to autism. Of course, I have absolutely no evidence, but because I imagine the possibility that I might be right, I'm right. Pregnant mothers should avoid Ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19 symptoms.

#uspol tRump keeps plugging oil and coal while, "VCs plan to avoid allocating funds to Western startups that can't compete with Chinese peers, with some already halting investments in Western battery cell manufacturers and looking to collaborate with Chinese firms." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Absolutely! Keep the peasants uneducated and they will lack the tools to see through our lies, and we can dominate them utterly. That is how Christianity has dominated western countries so effectively for 2000 years. Educate them and they discover the truth.

tRump's DOJ shuts down the investigation while tRump seethes because prosecutors couldn't find enough evidence to prosecute James Comey and Letitia James. Now THAT'S justice, Republican style. This is who we are now.
Atticus (@atticuspund.bsky.social) reply parent
I have to admit that this is wryly amusing. When one puts incompetent people in positions of authority, one should not expect things to go well. With tRump's appointments, one SHOULD expect the chaos to continue. Blunder on Tulsi! Along with the rest of your cohort. It's all going to shit.

A clear message to the FBI here. Don't look at crimes committed by members of the administration or connected to it. Our "Injustice Department" will shut it down. And cash payoffs are the new normal way of doing business. Don't call it a bribe. Got it?

And still no-one is challenging his authorization of extra-judicial killings. In what alternative universe is this acceptable. The SC should be ruling TODAY that this is a criminal act and exceeds his executive authority. It should also be an impeachable offense but we know how that works, Mitch.
