Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela.
Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it.

There's more:
Is Trump dangerous? 43% of Republicans have no opinion.
Honest? 44% have no opinion.
Corrupt? 43% have no opinion.
Out-of-touch? 49% have no opinion.
They know who he is. They just don't want to admit it.

funnily enough I think genealogists tend to be unsentimental about the past, because they see the realities of heartbreaking loss in the ledgers.
This is all over my ancestors' death records ("kindbet fieber" or similar)

yikes he’s right. RFK is the only one that wasn’t totally Reeked by Trump.
fwiw insofar as there’s a maga after trump, i think RFK, jr. is an underrated figure for inheriting it, he is unlikely to disappear whenever trump croaks
RFK, jr. is one of the few high profile people in the world who is as naturally and unpleasantly weird as donald trump, and for many of the same reasons

you have to vote for the democrat in november 2028.
any other option - voting republican, not voting, voting third party - is completely and totally morally unacceptable and should result in your expulsion from polite society
