The financial headlines are brutal right now. It’s almost like the experts are shocked that a six-times bankrupt reality TV show host was elected president and is running the United States economy straight into a ditch.

Two Catholics, knowing that they will go to hell for following and supporting the “antichrist” according to the description of their doctrine’s church

We all know the behind-the-scenes script: thugs performing haranguing for a domestic US audience, but also to show their loyalty to their real owner. They pretend to be some sort of inspired geniuses, but they are just two puppets at the behest of a tyrant who runs them from the Kolomna Palace.

Wake me up when this prank and scam is over. Jan 20, 2029.

Any one of these cabinet confirmations is dangerous. The fact that they all came from the *same* network of foreign influences is terrifying. The US has been captured by hostile foreign powers, and it may not be reversible.

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights — ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

They've been scammed all the time, from the beginning of this disastrous national and now international TV show (worst actors, worst scripts, worst ratings, worst audience).

May God have mercy on us for so much stupidity.

Reports of Navajo people being detained in immigration sweeps sparks concern from tribal leaders The DOJ argued in court that Indigenous people don't have birthright citizenship, even though they have for 100 years

The DOJ erroneously argued that under the 14th Amendment Indigenous people didn’t have birthright citizenship, citing 1884 U.S. Supreme Court case, Elk v. Wilkins, but ignoring the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, giving Indigenous people U.S. birthright citizenship

Only a Handful of Republicans in Congress Object to Trump’s Jan. 6 Pardons Even Republicans who once said violent rioters should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law declined to criticize the presidential clemency for violent offenders, saying it was time to move o...

On 21 March 1933 Adolf Hitler was officially sworn in as chancellor of Germany. The same day he pardoned 8,000 Nazis, who had committed violent acts, starting with the failed Hitler coup on 8 November 1923.

Chris Murphy: "Here's the message. If you beat a police officer in this country, you're going to jail for a long time, with one exception. You don't go to jail if you beat the hell out of a police officer in service of Donald Trump ... it put Democrats' lives in jeopardy in particular."

Brilliant

A visual to show how the billionaire donors (and their spouses!) got better seats than anyone else including Trump’s Cabinet nominees.

NOW can we arrest ALL the CEOs of Healthcare companies who deny care and murder people by denial of access to life saving meds?.... They are MURDERERS as well!

Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
And I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

🎼 I love my country
I love my country
Six strings and fiddles
Whiskey from Kentucky
We keep it funky
We like how it sounds
Monday to Sunday
Yeah, I love my country
I'm loud and proud
Rolling into town
Hanging out the window
Like a blue tick hound 🎼

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.

His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

Just absorbing the fact that the first order of business in the new QAnon-inflected MAGA Republican era is to demand that Congress bury its report on sex trafficking and drug allegations against a Republican member of Congress who they're trying to promote to higher office.
