Trump to generals: "We have beautiful paper, the gorgeous paper. I said, 'throw a little more gold on it, they deserve it. I want the A paper not the D paper.' We used to sign a piece of garbage ... I want to use the big beautiful firm paper."

Interesting how unprofessional Vance is. He talks like a mafia boss - no class at all. And what’s he doing posting on social media while the world is burning! These guys have no idea what their jobs are.

Of course they don’t want ANY of their names released.

That’s hilarious since he arrests Americans without due process.

There is absolutely zero benefit from anything this administration is doing. All I can think of is some high school play where untalented kids who can’t read are trying out for parts and the stage crew keeps setting up the wrong scenes and the teacher in charge is boozing it up behind the curtains.

I have been told by several healthcare pros that plain old Medicare is much better for anyone with serious med issues. They said Advantage plans have benefits like lower premiums, dental, etc., but the insurance company approves or not; with Medicare, you can choose any doctor and they approve.

He’s *reverent* toward Putin. With him, Trump, Rubio, and the rest, the USA is being governed as a province of Russia. Look at the rhetoric, at the policies, at the decisions. They all serve Putin and Russia. They’re making us the Russian Republic of America. And I think it’s not accidental.

Texans: The Lone Star on your state flag represents independence and patriotism. The USA needs you to live by those principles now, for all our sakes, as your governor shoves poison down your throats. Stand up for yourselves, and for the Lone Star and all 50 stars on the flags you claim to revere.

I am America. My mother’s ancestors fought in the Rev War; my father’s ancestors came from IRE to build a life. The descendants worked in factories for low wages but now are public servants, lawyers, business owners - they care for each other and others. We can’t let that America fade and die.

Feeling and loving all of the comments!! I was brought up to believe we allow all and take care of each other! So many reasons people come here as my grandparents did! Love all. ❤️

Shameful.

I never thought I’d see the day when an American President treated a dictator who has no trouble killing people an invite to ride with him in a U.S. car and walk with him on a red carpet. Not only embarrassing but disgusting.

Israel has crossed the boundary between justifiable defense through aggression and indefensible atrocities. This author (with whom I don’t totally agree; I think Israel cross the boundary a LONG time ago) tries to navigate the matter from an informed perspective.

Abhorrent. There is no excuse for this. Hamas unleashed a force of hatred they cannot have expected would burn so viciously for so long. Israel has gone way WAY beyond acceptable moral boundaries. Condemnation and sanctions are needed, immediately.

Trump’s DOJ granted a CONVICTED KID SEX TRAFFICKER immunity so they can…what? Gather information they already had to convict her? Is that what we’re supposed to believe? Trumpworld is corrupt beyond all morals, ethics, and law. If MAGA falls for this crap, there really is no coming back for America.

Content from CBS and all Paramount outlets is now poisoned with the Trump/MAGA agenda. It is not safe for consumption. Choose a different provider. (Yes, US soccer fans, this applies to the Champions League coverage too!)

Precisely, unequivocally this. @jamestalarico.bsky.social hits the nail on the head, over and over again.

Reminder: Ghislaine Maxwell's father was the disgraced UK newspaper man Robert Maxwell. He looted his companies' pension funds to avoid bankruptcy. When those crimes were close to being discovered, he died by suicide. Wealth by crime, then escape by death. Familiar? moneyweek.com/505757/great...

This is the party line right now but it has to be more than this by next summer. Wealth tax, repeal tax breaks for $bnaires, hold Netanyahu et al to account and fly aid into Gaza, and restore kids' meals, science research $, Medicaid/Midicare funds. For a start!

This is the Trump effect. "Art of the deal" my ass. The world is turning *away* from the US Dollar. That is not - NOT! - a good thing for the US economy.

The “party of family values” strikes again. That’s two in one day. At least they’re consistent.

The S&P 500 CEOs took home an average $18.9 MILLION last year.

Trump and Republicans just handed them a collective tax break of $738 MILLION.

That's worth 80,000 people's Medicaid, 300,000 people's SNAP food assistance, or 900,000 kids' school lunch.

What are we doing here?

Agnotology = word of the last decade.

“Proctor found that ignorance spreads when firstly, many people do not understand a concept or fact and secondly, when special interest groups – like a commercial firm or a political group – then work hard to create confusion about an issue.”

Sound familiar?

Maybe he just realized that Iran provides 90% of China’s oil. They are not going to be happy that their oil supply will be messed up. Think Trump thought about that?

Quite a few people are working on this.

And if they eat “on campus”.
