Ain't this the truth!
Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

It's pathetic that we have a leader always trying to rile us up.
Absolutely not reposting the Trump/Reiner thing. A more blatant attempt to rile us up I have never seen.

Not sure if Republicans will release Trump’s brain MRI to distract from the Epstein files, or announce he’s on the Epstein list to distract from how bad that MRI is.

Great description of this administration!
(WaPo: free) Excellent piece by George Will, well-known conservative. Long ago, he had it in abundance with Trump and his handpicked staff. Perfect summary of the chaos, the ineptitude, the selfishness, and the complete lack of skill to do positive things for the US.

Regarding Venezuela, Ukraine and much more, Trump and his acolytes are worse than simply incompetent.

Trump said today he'll be pardoning former Honduran President Juan Hernandez, who was convicted of drug trafficking and weapons charges in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison.
Waging a drug war on Venezuela while pardoning a narco-terrorist takes hypocrisy to a level once thought impossible.
