Shame he was such a crushing disappointment. He was handed a mandate for change not seen since the Great Depression and a supermajority in Congress with which to do it. He had a supermajority! His platform was Hope and Change! What change did he bring? For that matter, where's the hope?
Ted Cruz: ‘Vacationing Is How I Grieve’
He has refused his Assent to Laws… For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world… For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury… For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences… A Tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
The people in that photo sure are thin. Young people used to look like that, but they don't anymore. We embraced "body positivity" and terrible diets and now we have fat youths that don't have sex. There's a bunch of macro trends plus the advent of social media but holy crap did kids get fat.
Damn right!!!
I mean, she's a Russian asset and Iran is Russia's key ally and source of drones and missiles. They're crucial to continuing Russia's war efforts. She's probably lying to protect Russia's interests.
We're going to stop paying for health insurance, that will save $5k/yr. We're also going to quit our jobs, losing $150k/yr in revenue. We reduced the deficit by 5k! No, you increased it by 145k. That's the incredibly stupid argument we're having.

There’s stupid … and then there’s Trump Stupid. That’s a whole other level of stupid.

I'm a 3rd amendment absolutist. Troops shouldn't be allowed to sleep in any domicile, that includes a barracks. They should sleep outside, in a tent, the way the founders intended.
Everyone should look on the bright side: We have no idea if Trump will send Seal Team Six after Gov. Newsom. But at least we know that, if Trump did it, he’d be immune from criminal prosecution for doing it.

We're in the minority? State's rights! Let each state decide! We got national power? Federal Ban! Force it on everyone! The same is true for free speech. They supported that right up until they got power. Now they're working to shutdown universities and law firms that spoke against them.

Dragon has been great. It's a workhorse. 95% of the American crew flights to the International Space Station in the last 10 years were on Dragon The other 5% was a failed Boeing Starliner mission that nearly killed the crew; crew which were rescued by Dragon.
If naked disco dancing in the bathroom is wrong then I don't want to be right.
Should we expect media coverage of this?
This bill doesn't reduce healthcare spending, it just transfers it to you and I. And it does it in such a way as to magnify it. Rather than getting regular care through Medicaid they'll wait until they're horribly ill and spend 10-times as much through the Emergency care. And we'll pay for it.
Speak to the true costs: When millions of poor people lose Medicaid they won't just roll over and die. No, they'll go to the ER and rack up 6-figure bills that they cannot pay. Hospitals will raise rates on the rest of us. Hospital bills and health insurance will go up dramatically.
The fact that the attorney general's last job before this one was lobbying for the Qataris is a little on the nose.
Genuinely has anyone *ever* been owned so badly as a man who converts to a new religion as an adult and sorta makes it his whole thing only to see the literal head of that religion rebuke his entire deal and then they choose the NEXT head of the religion specifically because he doesn't like you

I always wondered about the Great Depression and the Smoot-Hawley tariffs: Who would ever embrace an economic death spiral? And the answer is apparently 51% of voting Americans.

At times like this I remind myself that due process has always been a struggle, from the moment it was forced upon King John by the Barons at Runnymede in 1215, only for him to promptly abandon it along with the Magna Carta a few weeks later. He had the Pope annul it for him for good measure.
Cool. Can we get Ranked Choice Voting? No??? We have to maintain the death-grip of the two parties over the government even if it destroys the Republic??? Lovely.... You can expect "Didn't Vote" to continue to lead elections.
This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.
Putin should be hung at the Hague. I support those that have actual plans to effect regime change.
He died sad and alone, isolated in a Siberian prison. His movement was already broken, and yet he chose to fly back to Russia and accept imprisonment as a political stunt. I respect the man's gumption, but we have real fights ahead; if we are to preserve liberty, don't follow his foolish example.
Today's 5% drop in the S&P was but a prelude. The market has yet to price in the affects of these tariffs. The market still thinks this is a bluff, a negotiating tactic, that no one would be crazy enough to revive Smoot-Hawley and trigger a global depression. I hope it's right.

Pete Hegseth Calls For Steep Cuts To Number Of Steps In AA Recovery
Early in every election cycle she hires a couple staffers and has them manage her social media and try to get puff pieces in the papers. Expect articles about how she's an important "party elder" and a DNC power broker and how unnamed people seek her advice... It will all be anonymously sourced....

DOJ Designates Posting Photos Of Balding Elon Musk As Domestic Terrorism
You had a mandate for change not seen since FDR and the Great Depression and in the face of that you passed a few subsidies for private insurance and a modest Medicare expansion. You are celebrating squandering the greatest legislative opportunity in the last 50 years. History will not be kind.
Schumer voted to fund this. He knowingly enabled it, in the theory that it will look better to oppose it in September rather than today. So know that every abridgement of the law is funded by Chuck. He is a feckless coward and a collaborator. He should be driven from the Senate.
They will "disappear" plenty of people but no one wants blood in the streets. Property owners on both sides will vehemently object to open warfare. No one wants their businesses turned into a battlefield. Concentration camps are fine but you do your killing quietly.
It's kind of impressive how perfectly Chuck Schumer is not meeting this moment. Like he brought in punch-up writers to heighten and refine how badly he's botching it.
Schumer? I 'ardly know 'er.
@schumer.senate.gov You're voting to fund the jack boots that will soon stand on our necks.... I voted for The Resistance. Instead I got Vichy France. Tomorrow you become complicit in everything Trump does. When you get a chance, lookup how things turned out for Philippe Pétain.

And then she says spending 2% of GDP on defense is simply impossible and they can only give Ukraine one-twentieth of the shells Russia is firing at them and they won't give them long ranged weapons because that would be escalatory...but you know, be fearless.
You're in the Wehrmacht, stop deluding yourself and resign before this gets ugly. Or stick around be damned.

Listen, we were all young and stupid once. You can’t judge someone for the thoughtless and provocative posts they made all the way back in September and December of 2024. It was a different time back then.
If they wanted to take over the country, they only had to wait like three weeks until every technocratic nerd was unreachably distracted. They fundamentally do not understand us, and that is why they will lose.

As someone trained as a trade economist, it is my duty to share the 1929-1933 Kindleberger Spiral, showing the month-month decline in global trade due to the combined factors of the (global) Great Depression and retaliatory tariffs. Smooth Hawley is implemented mid-June 1930.

Oh my God, yes. Stop selling! Learn how to take "yes" for an answer! And stop selling! Way too many sales reps have zero faith in the product and are just there because they like to sell so they can't "turn it off" after getting to "yes" which gives away the game.

Incompetence bordering on malice. If you're expecting Dems to save you from fascism, take note that they can't even be bothered to leave fascist owned social media. They're in it for power and money. They talk a big game then turn around and fall in line with their corporate donors.
