"Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread and wouldnt think of praying to the Lord. Terror will grip them, for God is with those who obey Him. The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed, but the Lord will protect His people."

Why Do So Many People Think Trump Is Good? The work of the moral philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre helps illuminate some central questions of our time.

77 million is only about 1/4 of our country. But fully half of US citizens are disengaged- they don't support him, but won't vote if their perfect candidate isn't on the ballot. This is what must change. An extremist minority should not have been allowed to install him.

Mad King Donald I has crashed the US economy. Now it appears he is spreading his insanity to the whole world - and I'll bet he has no idea what he has done.

The Crime of Human Virtue Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

Choose humanity.
Choose peaceful resistance.

“Let’s be antifascists, by which I mean let's be humans. Let's be wise and normal and silly and joyous and brave and hopeful.”

This is a classic case of FAFO. MAGA needs to turn off Fox and watch what the trump admin does, not what it says. Deregulation so industry owners make more, hiding Epstein files trump promised to release. It's all part of the same feint.

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It makes them feel superior to their wives-the only way their frail egos can function around Women.

I’ll just leave this here.

Trump raises tariffs on China, markets crash, wealthy buy up stocks, Trump backtracks on tariffs, markets go up...profiteering... same game every few months..

Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the “ancient art of lying” and manipulation.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."
