The US military sees these drones as children's toys despite 4 years of drone warfare in Ukraine. They prefer drones the size of airplanes, $10 million each, to please the military lobbyists. The real money is tanks, planes, ships.

The New York Times knows crime is not “out of control” in major U.S. cities — in fact, crime is way down from past years and decades — but NYT amplifies JD Vance’s lie without a fact check.
It’s journalism malpractice that helps the fascists.

The crowdsourcing aspect is nice, but Wiki does not allow citing of primary sources, which is an automatic no-no for historians. And, Wiki can never be a primary source for history, because it is secondary.

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

Vance already knows the answer to his question: Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services? Ask a prostitute.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

It’s no wonder that Trump has such a twisted view of war and sacrifice. And the utility of bribes.
Donald was seven years old, and his father was brought before a U.S. Senate committee investigating abuses in a housing program for war veterans and middle class families. President Eisenhower had been outraged to learn of the bribes that developers paid to bureaucrats and of the alleged profiteering practiced by Trump and others. Ike called them "sons of bitches." As federal investigators had discovered, the elder Trump had collected an extra $1.7 million in rent-equivalent to $15 million today-before beginning to pay back his low-cost government loan. He was able to do this because a bureaucrat named Clyde Powell approved the paperwork. Powell, who had never been paid more than a modest government salary, had mysteriously amassed a small fortune. (While it was clear Powell accepted bribes, the sources were never officially identified.) In addition to collecting the extra rent, Trump paid himself a substantial architect's fee. And he charged inflated rents based on an estimate of construction costs that was far greater than what he actually spent. All of this was legal, even if it did victimize taxpayers, veterans, and other renters.

Shouldn't an $88 million grift be front page news on WaPo, NYT, WSJ? Oh, I forgot.

I assume they are Christian and prefer private funding, like charity, to solve problems.
