I’ve heard the U.S. referred to as the richest country in the world. We might have the most billionaires but the wealth is not well distributed & the billionaires are preying on the least well off and vulnerable.

We are a failing state, unable to provide life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness.

The release of the Epstein files is required by law to happen on December 19th.
On December 18th, we will "officially" be at war with Venezuela.

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery.
Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

Trump believes asylum seekers come from asylums and the bully pulpit is a place for him to bully anyone and everyone, but sure he aced those cognitive tests.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Trump doesn’t understand wtf he is doing!

Sen. Roger Marshall on Trump's health: "I'll work 110 hours a week. He outworks me. He's the first person I've ever known that works harder than I do. He runs around that golf course. He's in incredible shape right now. And you talk about sharp! He's playing 4 dimensional chess"
