America’s ignorance is always underestimated.
And we suffer from too many snake oil salesmen.

I feel like a cranky old man.

Reparations better be forthcoming, and not just for the people who have died in custody.

Jamie Raskin said it best:

We want to be in the moral center and drag the political center to where we are.

His ‘Democracy Summer’ helps us do that. Please support them.

You will be funding the future of America.

We need to rid the world of for profit healthcare. The only thing it has delivered are riches for the wealthy and misery for America.

We must have universal healthcare.

23% swing would work, but that’s tough to come by. The current swing is around 12% average.

Who says we don’t have reparations in the US? You just have to die to get them.

@nytimes.com Maybe you could publish something like this instead of your story about how obscenely rich people aren’t leaving NYC after the Democratic Socialist got elected as mayor…

Perfectly normal to let the President charge a ‘fee’ on selling something international.

I mean how much fun would it be if the President couldn’t run a protection racket on America. Companies?

The most corrupt administration ever.
December 10, 2025 at 4:23 AM
And how ‘great’ has that been for the country, folks?

Nuff said.

Absolutely correct. The #KingOfBullshit strikes again!
December 5, 2025 at 7:47 PM
And we know who is directly responsible for this.
Trump and Elon Misk.
Good thing the have no empathy so they won’t suffer any health effects from the shame…
December 4, 2025 at 6:53 PM
Sorry, that won’t fly. We aren’t at war. GFY, murderer. There is no excuse if the shame you have brought upon America.
December 4, 2025 at 5:40 PM
People think it’s funny now…
But it’s where we’re heading if the techno-Lords don’t clean up their act. Just a statement of fact.

The Presstitutes are failing again! They keep regurgitating the bullshit Trump is spouting.

Just like with Social Security and Voting Rolls, they’re pretending to claim 186,000 deceased and 500,000 double dippers.

Hogwash.

They’re trying to match names again. What a bunch if incompetent dolts.

If our insurance rates and medical spending was the same as the next most expensive country, WE WOULD HABE NO DEFICIT.

Medicare for all would wipe out our debt.

What the Fuck is Washington doing?

Oh my God. The government is corrupted by the for profit healthcare system.

Geek Universal Healthcare post of the century. We’re still waiting for the for profit healthcare insurers to be slaughtered. They are objecting to a 0.3% of spending. Just disgusting. And it could fix this!

The @sfchronicle.com just published this brutal political cartoon. Sums up Trump’s philosophy beautifully. This will end, how well it ends is up to the republicans. It can be peaceful if they let it be.

Just a hint that while Chris Horner, mentioned below, is a Washington lawyer, he’s also a paid member of the federalist society and a known climate denier. The @wsj ignores that when he writes a climate OpEd. The presstitutes don’t want you to know he’s an industry shill. The op Ed was gaslighting.

Remember when Trump claimed his tariffs are going to save the economy? So sad. Here’s how it’s going and how it’s gone. This alone won’t send us into a recession, but added to the other mismanagement, it will almost be impossible to have a soft landing.

Does the reduction of imports look familiar?
November 28, 2025 at 10:37 PM
America first! Am I right?
Trump doesn’t care abut you, he never did.

Here’s a comparison that I hope makes the point. Let’s look at what happened to consumer prices under two presidents: Joe Biden and Ronald Reagan:

Who thinks AI is going to save the world?

In the most recent quarter — Meta, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Oracle — spent more than $100 billion on AI infrastructure, including chips and data center shells. That’s the equivalent of three Manhattan Projects in inflation-adjusted dollars.

The saddest part is it’s too true.
This incompetent #Idiocracy would like nothing better than to muzzle all Americans and treat them like dogs.
