It's almost as if they revel in the disdain they create. Almost like a badge of honor in their minds. I suppose it feels powerful to inflict massive harm free of consequence. I suppose it releases dopamine into their oxytocin deprived minds.

Did you ever notice that it is not primarily the crimes committed by those of modest means but, rather, the crimes committed by the wealthiest and most powerful, that do the most harm?

I feel there must be people who embrace facts and rationality and have determined that war is a poor method of dispute resolution. We have a choice to make as a species. Shall we figure out how to share the world peacefully, or shall we risk total annihilation?

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

I'm sorry I reminded people that the atrocities we commit as a country do not belong to Republicans or Democrats. They belong to the United States of America. I only said it because it's true

I wonder if there was any way for them to foresee it would happen?

Another one of these weird posts. Seeking to lay blame on the minority party for what the majority party has done. It sounds like propaganda.

Part of the problem is that politicians think that Americans are just really stupid.... Another part of the problem is that politicians may not be wrong there

I haven’t seen a single statement that the White House is outraged that they accidentally killed 165 kids

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

IDK, call me crazy, but I think it would be nicer to be known for a great educational system, a huge thriving middle class, no poverty and top notch health care.

He likes the idea of annihilation. Most of us find it horrific.

If a country is planning to attack another country, does careful rational analysis, creating extensive contingency plans, creating well defined mission objectives, understanding post invasion plans and objectives, and gaining public support make sense? Or should one person order an attack on a whim?

After watching the prosecution of this war, is anyone still confused about how the felon managed to bankrupt a casino? Dude could eff up a wet dream.

We train, test, license, regulate: hairdressers, barbers, physicians, dentists, plumbers, electricians, archetecs, etc. But Presidents? In the US, even child sexual abusing convicted felons can become President. Hmm - I wonder if there's a flaw here somewhere.

A philosophical conundrum:

If a cyclist rides carefully, slowly and uneventfully on a wide, quiet, well-sighted sidewalk and no one is there to see it, does someone who wasn't there and only ever travels by car but has a bee in their bonnet about cyclists still claim they were nearly killed?

Solar panels losing power due to grime? It's a bummer. But check this out: a new PFAS-free coating combines hydrophilic sol-gel and hydrophobic nanoparticles to keep them clean and efficient. Efficiency jumped from 13.90% to 14.56%! Testing for extreme weather is nextβ€”market launch in about 5 years.

Whatever percent, 30, 35, who continue to support Trump must either be high on something or totally oblivious to world matters.

As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.
