The ONLY thing he’s achieved in life without resorting to cheating or extortion is uniting decent and reasonable people across the political spectrum in our shared hatred of him and his followers.

So millions of Palestinians are killed as he turns a blind eye to humanitarian aid blocked by Israel, he and Netanyahu and his son in law swoop in like vultures to steal their land and he wants a Nobel for a peace deal because all the Palestinians are dead and can’t fight back.

Perhaps some Democrats in Congress don’t get that the criminals in the White House have been sowing discord and creating an illusion of widespread lawlessness in order to invoke the Insurrection Act but many regular folks on this platform have been telling us this is comingl for many months.

Republicans have devolved into these aggressive and juvenile displays of what they believe makes them look tough. What a bunch of ignorant clowns.

You’re lucky to be a UK resident because you have so many countries you can flee to.

I’ve been kind of mad at his wife for not DOING something about him after his stroke but it turns out she’s TRIED, to no avail. His staffers know he’s impaired but he doesn’t listen to anyone. Mental illness or no, it’s difficult not to judge him. He should have resigned after his stroke.

He should have resigned after his stroke. It has changed him and not for the better.

Yes, more of this, please! James Brown seemed to be in awe of the other two musicians. It's a side of him I've never seen and his humility is endearing. There is nothing like live music. Such joy.

Someone in my TN town today blamed the exorbitant-and-rising cost of living on people who are moving here from out of state. Not tariffs, not Republican policies that favor the rich or the Big Ugly Bill. And not a word about what's happening in politics from the governor or members of Congress.

Top advisors to Hegseth and Miller leaked that Trump wanted the 82nd Airborne to take a turn in the barrel. The culprit reporter used state-of-the-art technology, taking a photo over the shoulder of the advisor who was using Signal in the airport.

It must be incredibly frustrating for scientists with practical ideas for solving problems like this before they become catastrophic. We know Mark Reisner warned us in the 1980s what the future holds for the West if they don't deal with water resources but it turns out many politicians are idiots.

Not so different from young men who joined al Qaeda because they had no prospects. This has Reagan's fingerprints, eg putting college out of reach for poorer kids and shackling those that took out loans to debt that's almost impossible to discharge. Or they could join the "volunteer" military.

For now. There's a terrifying dystopian novel that's haunted me called The Water Knife by Paolo Bacigalupi in which the western states are at war over what remains of the Colorado river. Homeless cllimate refuges across the west are trying to survive. Really not far-enough fetched for my comfort.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

There must be a name for that, like wallet ethics. Remember how popular green energy was for a short time when oil was a brazillion dollars a barrel.

I thought this robot was just a big peeping Tom for the longest time until I realized he's been amusing himself by hoovering up the balls hit out of bounds at the pickle ball courts at the Y next door and watching while the seniors go nuts trying to find them.
