America is solidly in our, “Scream ourselves to sleep, shit ourselves awake” era.

Conservatives rage that Democrats didn’t stand for the cancer-stricken child Trump exploited—but they ignore his cuts to cancer research. Pure performative outrage.

This. I was surprised at the positive effect this meeting between Starmer & Zelensky had on my mental well-being today, but so bloody needed, especially after the diplomatic trainwreck of yesterday. Feeling proud nails it.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Exactly. Trump will no doubt gauge media response to his meeting with Starmer & based on his fragile ego will renege on any so-called promises made to the UK (if any..)

He is a liar & a narcissist who changes his mind on a whim & seemingly whatever appeases his buddy Putin.

In “Way of the Kings” there’s a cursed king who doesn’t know whether he will wake up a genius or an idiot each morning.

That’s how I am now with anger. Today I am very angry.

Well children, this is no longer the Washington Post that brought you Watergate.

What a sell out, but then consider the source: Jeff Bezos

Apple accelerates US investment and job creation Contributions will exceed $350 billion over five years, adding US jobs, investments in domestic suppliers and fueling the App Store economy.

Nailed it.

And similar investment blurb by Apple back in 2018 for $350 billion & create 20,000 jobs over five years.

How very predictable of Tim Cook.

Yeah, well why don’t we all send Elon Musk an email and have him report what he did last week, WITH receipts?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

But you’re right Trump doesn’t respect anyone, least of all those who work for him. He trusts no one, which is the hallmark of his second term, seeking retribution against those he deemed were disloyal to him, and yet he has zero loyalty to anything or anyone, including Musk & Vance.

Well as someone who is related to the Krays, never thought I would see someone more evil than Reggie & Ronnie, & yet Trump is devoid of any humanity, too. At least the lads had some redeeming qualities, compared to the hellacious Mango Mussolini & his sidekick Musk

Agreed. I’ve never actually hated anyone in my life because it is futile to do so, but he has absolutely no redeeming qualities, and frankly there’s a special place in Hell for the people who still support him. I cannot even..

Yes I am angry at the Biden administration for continuing to supply arms to Israel, pausing shipment only once over Humanitarian aid. But there were only two choices in 2024. This wasn’t an “electoral buffet” where we could pick and choose our issues. One choice was fascism. The other was not.

Funny how those in right-wing media spun endless conspiracy webs about Biden being “compromised” over Hunter’s business deals, yet Elon Musk — swimming in foreign ties, gov't contracts, and so much more — gets a free pass. Did they all suddenly run out of red string?

“Earn your vote” ?? Sure in an ideal world that has not been co-opted by billionaires buying an election.

I have far more anger with Senate Democrats who are doing fuck all to fight back, never mind the ones voting yes on Trump’s cabinet nominees.

That is where your ire should be, not on Harris

What are you? 12? Welcome to 30 years (me) of political mediocrity here in the US with both parties. What “worthy” thing did you want the Dems to do in the face of a Putin-loving autocrat who’s going to ethnically-cleanse Palestinians from Gaza?

But hey extra Kudos for using “twat” in a sentence

Fuck the high moral ground brigade. We knew this would happen. THEY knew it would happen should Trump get elected & yet they “wrung their hands” over Biden & could not bring themselves to vote the Harris ticket.
