That's how it's done in Venezuela.

Don't like the economic report? Just get rid of it and make up your own numbers.

Everything was so manipulated that people had to use the price of Big Macs to estimate actual inflation.

Blowing up unarmed boats in the ocean and killing those aboard is an act of extrajudicial murder.

It's against our law, international law, and against the UCMJ. The order to do this is unlawful.

Petty, vindictive and stupid, are words fitting for Hegseth and Trump (and most of his cabinet members).

Trump, the guy that blames Biden for Putins war.

He's also the guy that forces service members to break international law and murder unarmed civilians.

He dodged the draft. Cheats on his taxes. Hangs out with pedophiles and klansmen. Adjudicated rapist. Felon.

He's a traitor and so much more.

It's technically oil, but it's the worst and most expensive oil to produce.

A good chunk of their oil is thicker than tar. Barely viscous. It is impossible to transport without mixing in light oil and other diluent.

The real value is for big oil to provide the services. They get rich. We get 0.

I volunteer at a food bank, and they do the best they can do with CASH donations. They make the most of every dollar and use it to get what people need: fresh produce, dairy, meats, cereals, and bread.

The food donations aren't always great. We don't need cans of creamed anything.

They go whirrrrrr whirrrrrr and give people cancer.

Sorry, we can't watch TV because there's no wind.

Maybe the next president can have an ABOVE average intelligence.

Whatever you post about Trump can't be as terrible as his actions:

Adjudicated rapist.
Extrajudicial murderer.
Destroyer of Democracy.
Racist.
Misogynist.
Thief/Grifter.

I remember when Americans had disdain for billionaires and Russia.

I think we still do, but we're currently living through some nightmare paradoxical period.

When will the adults take control back from this idiot gang of maga turds?

Trump really does want the power to hang his political opponents.

Those are his words. We should take them at face value. He's stated it more than once.

He wants tribunals to bypass courts. He wants the power to kill.

Declaring that there are NO unlawful orders is the first step.

Impeach.

I firmly believe the universe is teaming with life, but time and distance are impossible impediments to overcome.

Even if we sent something mechanical flying out in all directions, it's likely humankind will no longer exist in the time it takes, and we'd certainly never receive a response.

In the last 5 years, MTG earned more than $25m investing.

She somehow was able to invest her entire salary and get an annualized 275% return.

She outperformed the market by a huge amount, cheating us with insider info.

And now she'll get a pension paid by tax dollars.

It's fraudulent.

The whataboutism is even a lie. Leavitt is a disaster.

"Oh yeah, well, Biden would think mean thoughts and then run away."

She's defending Trump with grade school retorts.

She has to wake up every day and wonder what fresh hell Trump is going to gift her.

If Congress will no longer act on behalf of the people and they are so hopelessly corrupted, they've left us very few choices.

The midterms, I hope, is all that's necessary.

And I hope the new congress has the balls to punish those who defied and defiled our Constitution.
