Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark Americaโ€™s birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, weโ€™re getting screwed and heโ€™s getting rich.

I'm an old white man, the worst kind of man; but I've voted a straight Democratic ticket since studying Political Science in 1964.

Frankly, if this comes as any surprise then you really need to start paying attention.

When Democrats say they represent most Americans, they tell the truth (and that includes members of minority groups).
When Republicans say it, they lie. That is the difference.
Our country is ruled by parties & their platforms, not by personalities. A candidate's race is moot to an informed voter.

Cuba reacts after Trump issues "last moments" warning The Trump administration has indicated it will turn its attention to Cuba once military action in Iran wraps up.

Trump War II , against Cuba, apparently will involve Noem's Shield of the Americas.

Trump said that he looked "forward to the great change that will soon be coming to Cuba" and said the current government in Havana was in "its last moments of life."

Ogles: "Muslims don't belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie."

Remember in 2019 when GOP Rep. Steve King defended white supremacy? GOP leadership stripped him of his committee assignments.
Now Republicans don't even bother to pretend. Rep. Andy Ogles tweeted today that โ€œMuslims don't belong in American society,โ€ and we all know GOP leadership will do nothing.

7 Shocking Things Women Weren't Allowed to Do Until Pretty Recently It wasn't until 1975 that the Supreme Court struck down the ban on women serving as jurors.

Since itโ€™s international womenโ€™s day, I think it might be fun for women to do all the things women used to not be allowed to do in addition to the regular protests, like ride a train.

Donโ€™t let your uterus fall out when riding a train today!

We are led by selfish liars and carnival barkers who lure US into a small tent that shelters the wealthy from taxes.

Selfishness. Zero-sum-minded people feel that they benefit when groups they don't identify with are deprived of something. The GOP's carnival barkers convince them that their whiteness is their identity, not their economic class, to lure them into a small tent that shelters the wealthy from taxes.

Trump trips all over himself but is still standing, propped up by his loyal TrumpTroopers who serve him instead of US.

Part of my disgust and disdain for so many people in this country is that that they are so easily duped. All that fuck has to do is call some egregious bill the โ€œSAVE AMERICAโ€ act and the stupids rush to vote against their own interests, while accusing us of not wanting to โ€œsave Americaโ€.

In the modern world, the "social contract" replaces the ancient rules that worked for small tribes: e.g., we don't need to expand global population, so you can spill your seed onto the ground without being whacked.

Foreign policy in a secular democracy should be guided by law, diplomacy, and the national interest, not claims of biblical obligation. When elected officials frame modern geopolitics in theological terms, it risks replacing careful statecraft with ideology.

Stop listening to promises. Ignore emotional triggers.
Accept that our country is run by two parties, not personalities.
Understand the general legislative history of each major party: when in power, the GOP picks trillions from our pockets.
Always vote Democratic unless you're wealthy and selfish.
