Covid began in 2020. Trump bungled it into a deep recession. Biden had the economy humming again on January 19, 2025. Trump Crash 2.0 might be two Covids deep. The sooner he is defeated, the better for everybody.

The US economy is deteriorating in parallel with the political situation. Appreciation of this fact is clouded in the media. Ignorance is papered over by a disingenuous debate and journalistic equivocation. We need to unlearn some “basic economics.

This is true. But a convincing BS machine. Uses active verbs and vigorous language.

Still waiting for the "mass". American industry cannot stand "mass", so they show up in blue states to terrorize, not on Iowa dairy farms, in South Dakota packing plants, or at Florida resorts. Just terrorism, not deportation.

This very thing has happened before. Trump cuts Ukraine aid, some faction of the GOP revolts, Trump blames the stooge. And there are always stooges. That's all he hires.

Apparently Putin is tired of the flak he's getting for killing Ukrainian civilians, so he's going to kill some Russians. Surprised he hasn't done this already. Killing his own and blaming others is a theme of his rule.

They are paying back their donor/owners for the cost of purchase.

Biggest wealth transfer? Not sure Reagan's wasn't bigger, cutting taxes on the rich and imposing big new payroll taxes on the working class. The bailout of the banks in 2008, while homeowners got the shaft was huge. It just that now sucking at the veins of the public is just more out in the open.

The con man can't con if nobody listens. Maye Trump's genius is generating just enough outrage. time to get to work dismantling the oligarchy. The shameless grifters will die by themselves.

Often it feels like we are living in a “New Reconstruction”

A massive backlash against progress in civil rights.

Yet another spasm of white supremacist patriarchic rage.

In her furious dissent, Jackson writes of the Supreme Court's decision: "The project of stymying one of the country’s great civil rights laws continues." She likens today's ruling to notorious decisions after the Civil War cutting back civil rights statutes. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

JUSTICE JACKSON, with whom JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR and
JUSTICE KAGAN join, dissenting.
The Civil Rights Act of 1871 was an exercise in grand ambition. It had to be. In the wake of the Civil War, the American South was consumed by a wave of terrorist violence
designed to disenfranchise and intimidate the country’s
newly freed citizens and their allies. The threat was existential—not just for the newly liberated, but for democracy
itself—and required bold intervention. It was precisely because the goals of the 1871 Act were so ambitious that those
most committed to the structures it targeted, including
many in South Carolina, opposed the measure so vehemently.
A century and a half later, the project of stymying one of
the country’s great civil rights laws continues. In this latest
chapter, South Carolina urges our Court to adopt a narrow
and ahistorical reading of the 1871 Act’s first section, which
is codified today at 42 U. S. C. §1983. That venerable provision permits any citizen to obtain redress in federal court
for “the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities
secured by the Constitution and laws” of the United States.
South Carolina asks us to hollow out that provision so that

Another illegal move. 85% of Trump's moves are illegal -- as later determined by the courts -- but the law is just another obstacle to the grifters and the oligarchs. Do what you want, legal or illegal, and create the chaos to exploit.

No unbreaking this.

This is a man who never should have been president. What a fiasco. "Nutjob" is the N word that fits. All four of these countries -- Russia, Iran, Israel and the US have fascist nutjobs at the top. And they're the ones going to war. The world is not safe unless working democracies dominate.

The result of decades of work by the pro-oligarch wing. Installing the unqualified, stealing seats, funding the Federalist Society. They now control the Court and the Republican Party. Democracy is in the rear view mirror.
