American priorities appear bizarre…guns & military above health & equality. Citizens have guns they don’t really need; the military exhausts the budget; health care is nonexistent for many; the rich get obscenely richer; & now the oligarchs are in charge. The slowly unfolding great American tragedy😢

On all the evidence so far, there’s nothing they’ve thought through!
That said, this is an interesting point…🤔

Re: Kelly
They're about to give a man who would be an unbeatable presidential nominee a huge moral platform and I don't think they've thought this through.

He oughta know; he’s both professionally qualified and with plenty of first-hand observations of TACO
Add him to the long list of negative observations from those who’ve dealt with TACO, including the current pack of sycophants…🤬

To be clear, I can profess NIL empirical evidence to support my feelings, but the “multi-tasking” thing in particular is just waaay outside my observations. I observed many women incapable of multi-tasking…& many men doing it instinctively…but again, I profess no disciplined research 🤷🏻♂️

Don’t hold your breath for those files…or at least for all of them
It’ll be “can’t release due to active investigation” and/or “redacted for national security”
Keep up the pressure though…every leak will add fuel to the fire leading into the 2026 midterms

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Well, we can agree on recent academic results and “they keep us down”, but there’s a lot of subjective assessments in the rest…some of which are inconsistent with my modest (75yrs) experience…🤔

So Ukraine…
everyone wants peace by negotiation, but history teaches us appeasement doesn’t work
Negotiations don’t start with giving 1 side everything (esp’ly w/Putin!) but that’s where TACO’s plan starts…& thus the plan is doomed, sadly😢
TACO’s “great negotiator” claims are again proven 🐂💩

Let’s start with getting TACO (& his circus of incompetent sycophants) out of the White House…& then take it from there eh?
The ballot box is the only path outta this 💩show…& the GOP is working hard on multiple fronts to block that path.
Stay focused people…voting rights is the highest priority! 🤜🤛

I’ll certainly agree about “fear-based”…the “far more” bit is kinda reverse misogyny…better IMHO to see that men and women bring different attributes (& weaknesses) to the table…& optimising both is the ideal…🤔
