I can't help but wonder what Congress would do if Trump gave Putin Tomahawks with the premise of ending the war sooner. He basically said Russia deserves everything they stole by criticizing our own country for leaving Iraq..particularly without their oil.

It was not on my 2025 bingo card to see an Ocean’s Eleven–level jewelry heist at the Louvre. The rest of us are watching the economy collapse, but apparently someone’s already turned their “disaster planning fund” into a full-on retirement strategy.

When this story broke earlier today Republicans claimed it was probably fake news since it was reported by the NYT. Now multiple media outlets have confirmed it, including Fox. Hegseth and Vance are complete morons for pulling this dumb stunt.

Maga won't change anytime soon. The Dems need a platform that brings apathetic voters to the polls and this time it may be even harder because of voter suppression. The hate is strong in Maga world.

The only thing Trump is good at is exploiting people's hate,fear and prejudices and that's comes natural to him because he has the same tendencies. He doesn't know a fucking thing about anything else and repeats the same worn out tropes over and over. Never details on anything.

If someone wrote a script for a movie ten years ago with events we are living through now, no one would have produced it...claiming it was too unrealistic. I'm still not sure it's reality.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

Wikipedia's pages on Christianity are some of the most astonishingly blatant pieces of propaganda I've ever come across, regularly citing social darwinists to claim that Christianity didn't violently convert people.

Of all the people CNN could’ve platformed to tell a personal redemption story, they chose the least authentic and deserving person in America for their dwindling audience.

I feel so sorry for Zelensky and the Ukrainian people having to put up with Trump. He will always be a Russian asset. He is compromised going back to his first trip to Moscow in 1987. He came back from his trip pushing Russian propaganda. I'm so disappointed in my country.

It's not his tone. It's the garbled words and incomplete sentences with no apparent knowledge to which he is speaking. In others words, Trump is a fucking idiot.
