The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

Ideally the President of the United States and the stupidest person on the planet should be two different people…

Buttigieg: "We lived through a war that was sold to us on false pretenses when I was younger. This war has not been sold on any pretense. The president just went ahead and did it."

If we already won, why is our navy too scared to escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz?

We killed 160 girls in a school on Day One and called it investigation-worthy. There is no euphemism available. No framework sufficient. We did this. With our money. In our name. That's not strategy. That's shame. I'm appalled with our country. Donald Trump is a war criminal.

A tomahawk missile costs the taxpayers the same amount of money as one five-year major NIH research grant. Remember that every time they tell us one of those missed the target, blew up paintings of enemy aircraft or tanks, or was the fifth and unnecessary hit on the same target.

If you ask Trump if he wants us to use social media to connect for the resistance ahead, he would say, "I would prefer you didn't." Nah. It's true he does not want us connecting like this but he would probably just drool and shit himself. Reposters vetted for the next one.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

Being a sane American right now: It's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: She knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.

I can so relate to this.

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

There's a code of conduct that says remove your cap when the national anthem is played in a stadium so one sure as hell removes it when honoring fallen soldiers.

The real problem is that we have a president who is being blackmailed by Netanyahu and Putin.

Whatever it is, it must be pretty bad.

Why on earth would a GOP Congress go along with this?

The ultimate answer is money.

The Trump administration has released a proposal to overhaul the rules that govern federal layoffs a move that would make it easier to carry out sweeping arbitrary terminations across agencies.

Trump keeps talking about his "excellent rapport" with Putin The nuclear treaty expired a month ago and Trump didn't fight to extend it Russia helped get Trump elected proven by our own intelligence. Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. Not once. Not even now when Russia is helping kill Americans.

So... if the 2nd Amendment was created in order to combat a tyrannical government... Where are all the assholes with guns to fight this tyrannical government we're currently in?

Our representative government is almost gone. We have a criminal conspiracy masquerading as a federal government.

They are doing virtually nothing for the average American.

Their focus is on personal wealth and power. And unwavering loyalty to the authoritarian ruler.

Rescue America. VOTE!

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.
