Trump's America: Everything Gets Broken

Reposted by Paul Racko

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Which #camera maker will be the first to come out with a compact, lightweight, and affordable full-frame manual rangefinder with 28mm manual interchangeable lens, EVF, tilt screen and a decent grip to rival the Ricoh GR III and IV for #streetphotography?

Because of Trump's inflation causing high costs of living, Americans are putting more debt than ever onto their credit cards. US household credit card debt hit a record $1.33 trillion in August.

A reckoning is coming, and none of us will enjoy how hard that zeitgeist pendulum swings.

Sue the hell out of the Trump administration.

Straight from the Nazi horse's mouth. Republicans are defending that evil ideology to this very day.

Johnson: That is not the principles of the Republican Party. You want me to articulate them? We fought the Nazis, we defended that evil ideology.

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

With suits challenging National Guard federalization and deployment in US cities pending in several courts, former Acting Asst. AG for National Security Mary McCord examines why deference to the president is no longer due in cases like these:

When Deference is No Longer Due

Reasons for historical deference to the executive branch's judgement in matters of national security have been severely undermined.
