Nature and outdoors lover. Prefer to keep civilization and humanity going on a livable planet, and long past my time. Not enamored with oligarchs and other sociopaths. I'm an optimist in that you have to earn my disrespect.

37 million people live in poverty, 67% of the country lives paycheck to paycheck, and 37% of Americans can’t cover a $400 financial emergency. Our economy cannot sustain itself on these kinds of numbers.

This second Trump presidency must be especially infuriating to anyone who fought in or lived through World War II, where fascism led to the deaths of millions of people and nearly erased Democracy from much of the planet.

And this is good? Another Trump-critical media entity up for bidding by the Trump-friendly oligarchs and no meaningful Dept of Justice to rein it in with antitrust action?

Russia only understands strength. This is the truth the West refuses to accept. Enough. Show some teeth. Next time a russian jet violates your airspace β€” shoot it down. Next time a russian ship comes close to your undersea cables β€” sink it. Russia won't do shit, only whine.

A very good point - and doesn't contradict the point that what Trump did here is also reasonable grounds for impeachment and removal. Both are true!

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Blackwater founder and Maga disciple Erik Prince pitching services in Ukraine Sources say Prince, whose firm’s contractors committed 2007 Iraq massacre, eager to get into valuable drone sector

You can almost feel the War-for-Profit industry salivating over Ukraine. With Trump and Hegseth’s β€œDepartment of War” what opportunities are next? Greenland? Canada? (And how would Trump resolve his devotion to Putin.)

No offense to Trump, who tries his best, but Putin is clearly the alpha sociopath of the duo.

Remember all those law firms that struck a deal with Trump? It’s not totally working out for them.

At least 11 large companiesβ€”including Morgan Stanley, Microsoft, and Oracleβ€”are cutting ties with law firms that caved to President Trump’s threats of political retribution.

A tweet by Dan McLaughlin (@baseballcrank
) posted 14 hours ago features a cartoon by "BLOPER." The cartoon shows three men in a meeting room. One man is pointing at a chart with a fluctuating line that sharply drops, saying, "It was at this point, gentlemen, that the President decided it was his plan all along to reverse course." The other two men are seated at a table, listening.
