As usual, DJT is talking about himself. He has absolutely no imagination. Oh, wait, apparently, he can imagine himself in prison. I can, too!
This is as easy a test of your belief in the American system as is conceivable: Should this be an acceptable argument from a president?

This is the most important political, legal and democracy story right now. Yet, it has garnered relatively little coverage from legacy media outlets. The outcome in these cases may decide whether we have free and fair elections in 2026. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/as-...

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.

The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.

They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.

Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air

Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

When faith is twisted into a costume for hate, it stops being sacred. It becomes a shield for cruelty.

Well, he’s always been about The Big Lie. But this is a whopper! Way too big to swallow. :)
He keeps looping about wars he stopped and his cognitive tests. And I say even if it is remotely true ( it’s not ) a President shouldn’t be begging for validation on an app.

this is going to apply to so many things, like the concussive looming harms from lobotomizing federal labor and consumer protection regulators
One of the most disturbing things about the U.S. government getting themselves into the anti-vaccine game is that it is a time-release poison pill.

It will take a few years before the worst of the harm is visible to enough people that they will truly understand what has been done to them.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.
