Robert Reich Zombie Myths: The Economic Lies that Just Won't Die | Robert Reich

Some myths about the economy are like zombies — they just keep crawling back. Here are the three that eat at me the most. https://youtu.be/j3vbYwZecFU?si=ru-0S4-LC-_N1C5m

🔥 @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “No one can confirm we’ve actually been taking out drug traffickers… the admiral in charge resigned… all these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime… the government’s story is not adding up.”

Literally nothing. Nothing.

In fact, we should probably anticipate it.

So what would stop Trump from waking up in the middle of the night, saying "fuck it," and ordering that the rest of the White House be torn down and replaced with a tall golden tower in the shape of a T?

Tear gassing random residential streets is just absolutely psychotic behavior.

This 22nd Day Of Your Shutdown
Chump,Would Be A Great Day To
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

She of all people. Should not talk about others.

An America First design with Trump and a Golden Eagle. America is crossed out and replaced with ARGENTINA.

Heartbreaking 💔

Motherfucker is shitting on people and tearing the White House down hoping we’ll forget about the Epstein files.

Bitch, we didn’t forget.

Tick tock.

Q: "Trump authorized military strikes...in the Caribbean. 20 people have been killed in six different strikes. Do you believe these strikes are legal?"

Sen. Rand Paul:" "No...These people have been blown up without us knowing their name or any evidence of a crime."

Gov. Pritzker: "The president lies consistently, and he's got a lot of people around him who are sycophants, including JD Vance, who lie on his behalf...It's propaganda."

It was a documentary actually

The Case for the Forever Shutdown Senate Democrats actually allowing the GOP to stop funding the government is only the first step. Now they have to make the case that Trump’s government is illegitimate.

The United States now has an immigration enforcement apparatus that, if it were its own national military, would be the thirteenth-most-heavily funded military in the world. And the president of the U.S. wants to turn that heavily funded, extramilitary against you. trib.al/j6h0dad

So the US had a huge case using high-level informants. Bukele wanted back 9 informants who could expose his govt's deals with that same gang to lower the level of violence, fueling his image as a crime-fighter. That Rubio made a deal was known. That he reneged on informants was not.

Undoing years of actual law enforcement at home (read the quotes in the story) for what the White House press secretary called "fun videos" of deportation flights to CECOT. The Secretary of State, the nation's top diplomat, did that.

Just cannot get over this. Undiplomatic and soft on crime, among other things.

One other thought on this: the Bukele visit (and these events) were months ago and have faded from headlines but this was step 1 of a lawless campaign that connects to the boat strikes. Rubio apparently the driving force behind taking the GWOT playbook to Latin America.
