I’m a sixty something guy with 20 odd years experience in medical ultrasound and 20 odd years experience in medical equipment sales. Now quite happily retired.
I live happily on a small lake in eastern Ontario Canada with my wife and one dog named Alice.

We gave Jay Bhattacharya an opportunity to clarify his vaccine stance: does he REALLY believe that the vaccine is worse than the disease? Instead, he launched into a defense of MAHA as the future of scientific inquiry, and never really gave us a straight answer...

If we should remain a democracy three or seven year hence, our success will be used to discredit us: If democracy survives, then that is proof that it was never under threat in the first place.

Anyone who with manners and good mental health would apologize for an appalling statement making two tragic murders all about himself.
Donald is not such a person.
He's always been a clueless sociopath who thought selfish, wicked things. Now there is no filter to stop him from expressing them.

Q: “A number of Republicans have denounced your statement about Rob Reiner’s murder. Do you stand by that?”
TRUMP: “He was a deranged person… I was not a fan… I thought he was very bad for our country…”
*mentions Reiner’s beliefs about Trump and Russia in particular* 🤔

Danes have it right. The US is not a reliable ally. It is using tariffs & military threats to secure dominance.

One way to think of the Trump Admin is as having SHIFTED the $$ we used to spend on curing cancer (and providing care to Veterans and protecting nature and etc) to snatching brown people off the streets.

When a billionaire with major government contracts & ties to authoritarian governments calls to "Abolish the EU," it is not an ordinary political opinion. It is a foreign state actor hostile to European democracy, pushing terrorist rhetoric, and destabilizing regional security.

Looking forward to more thoughts from Belgium on why freezing Russian assets is an escalatory move that might compromise the peace process.

Look, people, there is no evidence that Senator Tom Cotton was caught pleasuring himself while watching the video of those survivors clinging to a portion of a wrecked boat until they were murdered by a second missile.
There's just no truth to that at all. Stop saying it.
