Every time I hear a prime minister or president from a democratic country abroad make rational, intelligent, comments, I am envious. Why can't we have leaders who govern w decency, sound judgement & care for the common good. Oh yeah, we did, Biden.

Four have died already. Maybe more. I don't trust anything coming out of this Trump/Hegseth illegal war.

Somewhere out there somebody is planning our next 9/11. We'll pay the consequences for Trump's horror show.

I thought this was a joke. I checked it out. It's true. We live in a time of deadly absurdity. I wonder what hat Melania will wear.

Trump's priorities r something to behold. Nothing like them. Truly the best priorities in the entire world. Too bad the deceased won't be here to see them. But, their sacrifice lets the rest of us enjoy living in the totally hot hot hot USA, our golden age thanks to me. I always liked gold.🙃

I have family members who absolutely swear they are not racist then they say some really racist stuff.

If he could get away with it, Trump would also bomb Minnesota.

I could never get through that interview without screaming. Good on Ayman, he must be a patient man.

The Grand so & so's are fatwas-ing. Yawn. Don't these dudes have better things to do. I hear there's a water crisis in Tehran & severe food shortages for half of Iran's population. Maybe take care of your own people and stop with the fatwah bs.

Some days I just wanna cry. There used to be presidents with soul. Now empty men can get the top job. I wish I were leaving this world a better place for my kids. At 74 I don't think I have enough time left to see that happen.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Betting on war is a soul destroying activity.

You have to wonder just how stupid the trump regime actually is. How do these geniuses think the American people will react to another war in the Middle East? Or, to the spike in oil prices? Or to deaths of service members? This mess guarantees a GOP wipeout in November.

Vance says a whole lot of very stupid things. Even so, I think we'd be better off with Vance in a lame duck, acting presidency than with the demented, reckless, bullshitting orange menace we have now. If only Congress would step up and reign in this horror of a president.

The poor will suffer. Trump very much does not give a even the tiniest shit.

Trump wants, no surprise, to drop the bombs and run, leaving others to clean up the mess. The USA cannot be trusted and the people who have to deal with the wreckage will not forget.

This is one of my pettier impulses but I want the record to reflect just how often this motherfucker said that Kamala Harris was the pro-war candidate in 2024.

Makes me so mad and so sad. We passed over the best to get the absolute worst. America got so much wrong. Now we have to fight our way back to get where we were before the nightmare of magatrumpism. So much wasted time, energy, resources not just for us but for the world.

This is like someone getting wheeled into open heart surgery complaining that the commercials for broccoli were not as well done as the commercials for Arbys. The choice was between a boring, middling establishment pol and a complete lunatic staffed by Nazis and neocons.

I wonder what an opposition party run by people with your sense of retrospective nitpicking would look like. Sore necks from looking backwards, and god knows what sort of injuries from not looking ahead.

Harris did not support genocide. If Harris were president she would have parted ways w Netanyahu. She was not a perfect candidate. That said, she would never have gotten the US into this current horror show.

"Immediately" usually does not mean in six months, but whatever. Supposedly the left wing nut jobs have to help DOD transfer the Anthropic AI stuff to some other less ethical competitor. I wonder what that transition would look like. Maybe Anthropic can inject some subtle safe guards? I hope.

Bill Clinton's sexual ethics sucked. Clearly he cheated/lied/betrayed Hillary. That said, Rs broke the good ol' boy code when they came after Bill. Until then, the extramarital sex stuff was all winks & nods. The guys let it slide w JFK's affairs, HW Bush's 10+ yr affair w aide Jennifer Fitzgerald.
