US taxpayers are facing skyrocketing healthcare costs, and US soybean farmers are being undercut by Argentinian ones,

but billionaire investors are happy

and so is Milei:
“There will be an avalanche of dollars… We’ll have dollars pouring out of our ears.”

A remarkable statement about the $20 billion plan that will greatly benefit a well-connected hedge fund manager.

The rules have changed.

Hegseth is projecting how he would fight a war.

Some military leaders fighting against the U.S. in other wars issued similar orders. After they lost, we gave them a fair trial and cited their orders. We executed them by the gallows and the firing squad.

How many of them voted for Trump in 2024 election?

History will likely record the 2024 election as the last fair election before America ended its 235-year experiment with democracy in 2026.

Sincerely hope your assessment is accurate.

A glorious coalition? Reminds me of the 1960’s marches against American apartheid and the 1970’s protests against the Viet War. Go BLUE!😎🎆

Waters and Crowley think Trump’s inane and stupid bobblehead wiggle is representative of “real masculinity.”

You are assuming the 20 millions think. Most won’t bother until their premiums skyrocket.

Tyrannies self-entrench. It will take a political earthquake to dislocate Trump and his MAGATS.

The Abwehr and Politische Polizei existed under democratic Weimar. Nazis renamed the Politische Polizei as Gestapo and broadened the focus to include Jews, Roma, and moderate critics.

Nearly every Trump policy is inane—like we’ve relegated the direction of our country to a bunch of wackos with the mental capacity of eight-year olds.

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

Wiki doesn’t vet anything. Articles are edited and re-edited by reader experts. Pseudo-experts can be banned (fired) if enough other experts ( some nationally renowned) complain. So why so few MAGA sources? I have my suspicions. What do you think?

JohnnBunyan @johnnbunyan.bsky.social · 14d

Another MAGA canard. Wicki does not “blacklist” any source, but if a source is shown to be inaccurate its reference is removed.

You’re not seeing many Wicki references to right-wing sources? Hmmm, I wonder why the shortage of references? /s sarcasm

Let's be clear a what's happening here: the "censorship" and "bias" narrative is being extended to Wikipedia bc the far right knows that getting bullshit into LLMs is how to shape reality as "answer engines" replace search engines. Wikipedia is core to that fight so the grievance blitz is here.
