It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

A "President for All the People"

Astonishing first paragraph in an article in today's Inquirer about a pipeline leak in Bucks County:

"More than 2.5 million miles of fuel pipelines run under homes, farms, parks and schools in the US - enough steel line to circle the earth 100 times."

Holy shit, just "Holy Shit!"

Ukraine and U.S. Cite Progress in Talks on Ending War With Russia www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/w...

What a crock! Rubio, Wycoff and Kushner (for fuck sake) are peddling a peace plan written by Putin and calling Zelensky uncooperative! Really?!

This is complete capitulation to the aggressor.

Covert ops. Wow. Exciting, eh? Regime change with US boots on the ground? Noble Peace Prize for the Orange Menace. Oops, sorry...it's the Oh Hell No Peace Prize.

Trump is stark raving batshit crazy. What is this really about?! He just wants to do some war shit.

The idea that 'what's good for business is good for America' is only valid insofar as companies act in ways that are good for the people.

At this, they fail miserably while pursuing profit and wealth.

If this is not changed, and if corporate money is not removed from politics, we have no chance.

Trump was working hard this afternoon to patronize NYC mayor-elect Mamdani. The transparent ploy was to borrow some of Mamdani's phenomenal success with NYC voters.

Meanwhile, I can no longer stand to look at Trump in media coverage. He exudes evil from every molecule in his disgusting body.

Anxiety Over A.I. Spending Looms Over Markets www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/b...

AI will be only as good as we make it, how we use it. Stop paying attention to the exaggerated claims and horror stories. AI can revolutionize the distribution and use of key resources and spot abuses.

Money and power. The room was saturated with it. Being POTUS is Trump's ticket to the whole world of power and money. Other presidents have at least tried to serve the interests of the people.

Not Trump. It's ALL about the rich getting richer - especially him.

The lavish life style of many Americans is often built on the backs of people in other countries scratching out a subsistence living amid exposure to highly toxic conditions.

Any real attention to human rights would shut these practices down.

Why are these monsters smiling?

Well, they both love being surrounded by faux gold-plated trash on the walls.

Also, the amount of money being exchanged behind the scenes is staggering. MBS has an infinite supply of money. And Trump is dipping his greedy paws into it for personal gain.

Trump defends Saudi crown prince over Khashoggi killing

Another food and wine-soaked black-tie banquet for billionaires during hard times for millions of Americans. Great Gatsby Night at Mar-a-Lago was disgusting enough.

This was a celebration for murderer MBS of Saudi Arabia. Horrible.

I guess it makes sense when you have fake gold shit all over the walls to have two disgusting bags of shit in the chairs.

Trump is cheapening the United States into one big whorehouse. We will never fully recover from this travesty.

Watched the first half of Ken Burns' film The American Revolution last night. May be the best Burns yet, and I learned A LOT that I didn't know before.

It's a must-watch for anyone who wants a richer understanding of how the US came to be.
