NYT is a propagandistic disgrace.

You know, things Democrats like, like information, governance, health, welfare, services, civil rights, the rule of law, education, employment, commerce, environment, air safety, highways.

Gee, is this reminscent of when Trump fired the whole Pandemic Response Team and junked the government's preparations in his first term, so we were totally unprepared for Covid? He floundered, making every wrong step, and a million Americans died.

"He," who? The doctor, or Trump?

Zing!

Didn't take very long for them to change their story, did it?

What delusional BS is this?
What does he think is going to happen to DC-area restaurants and businesses with Congess shut down and federal workers about to be furloughed and fired?
For a supposed "businessman" he seems to have no idea how business works.

Everything must always be about him. He makes it so.

A blatant violation. This Administration recognizes no laws, regulations or moral responsibilities to their actions.

I don't suppose even if we still had state hospitals for the mentally ill and incompetent that a rich bastard like Thiel would end up in one.

But he clearly belongs in one.

In a large gaggle of credulous dumbfucks, Buddy Carter always manages to stand out.

We can train ally nations' pilots at our bases. That's one thing. I don't think anyone has a big problem with that. Giving them their OWN bases on our soil is quite another.

I for one cannot even imagine a legitimate purpose for a Middle Eastern Gulf State needing a military airbase inside the Continental United States.

Let me revise that... I cannot imagine ANY REASON for this, defensive or offensive.

Dignity?! From Scalise?!? The sponsor of Trump's oligarch pig-fest "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," the soulless swamp mutt who sold out his own constituents? Party-Over-Country Scalise? Sell-Out Scalise? WHAT does he know about credibility or dignity!

I mean...
KILLING people on small boats 1200 miles from our shores on a preposterous allegation of smuggling?

DESTROYING millions of pounds of food aid destined for famine relief?

UNLEASHING secret police on our own shores?

WITHDRAWING drugs and services that have been preventing AIDS deaths?

Trump is only deserving of an ICC arrest warrant for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Well, I'm gonna start with the position that Ro Khanna is one of the good guys. And then follow with rejecting the idea that it is required to embrace the Israeli government lest you be an antisemite. Those are two different things.

That said, try not to associate with antisemites!

That would be hilarious, but Greta Thunberg is on my wishlist for the Peace Prize. So are Mark Carney, Claudia Sheinbaum, and Mette Frederiksen, three national leaders who've stood up to Trump.

For that matter, how is any American farmer, rancher, industrialist, investor, or banker going to trust our own government again?

Is it possible we need a new Constitution and parliamentary form of government so a freedom-fucker-upper like Trump is never possible again?

Noem apparently has helicopters. She couldn't find a "hidden" war zone from a helicopter?

Liberty View @libertyview.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, and also.... Look at those boats the DoD blew up. Did any one of them have the range to travel 1200 miles to US continental waters? That's a multi-day trip in a fast boat with a lot of fuel, and preferably, you know, some weather radar and a cabin, things those small open boats didn't have.

You have my undying support from Sunset Park, Brooklyn!

On the other hand, I wouldn't be sad if they gave it to Greta Thunberg.

And unless the judge is a fully paid member of Trump's Mar-a-lago Club, I don't see how this "case" survives a motion to dismiss.
