I am so far left I make Elizabeth Warren look like Barry Goldwater.

DM me if you have something to say.
Don't if you think this is a free dating site.
President Dumbass said "it's about drugs" and then mentioned oil about 90 times today.

The attacks in Nigeria are religion-based. trump claims the (Muslim) terrorists are "slaughtering Christians". he says he's the Nigerian president is directing the strikes.
Bola Tinubu is Muslim. Do you think he's ordering strikes against Muslims, or is he just PLAYING TRUMP FOR THE IDIOT HE IS?

I saw trump's "Merry Christmas" message to dead terrorists, and I have to wonder...

When someone close to him mentions "Christians", does he say, "I forget. Are they the good guys or the bad guys?"

This is worth a couple of minutes of listen. I don't know Jesse Wells, but... Spot On.

Good news: inflation is unexpectedly down.
Bad news: it's a trump admin statistic so it a lie.

The data is from late of Nov., when there were many food sales for T'giving. They said home prices were flat, which is a lie.

Rule of thumb: good stats from this admin are lies. Bad stats are suppressed.

trump has rolled back Biden's CAFE from 50.4mpg to 34.5mpg by 2031 and auto manufacturers are already cutting back on electric vehicle production.

When a Dem becomes president in 2029, I hope one of the first things he does is reinstate the 50.4, by 2031. Teach them to listen to a moron.

trump's stooges are cracking down on "left-wing terror groups". They call it "antifa" and that makes them...

No matter. Call the few left-wing "terrorists" what they are, mr trump: "the competition".

Attention president dumbass:

The hero who disarmed the Bondi Beach shooter let him walk away. Hero was later shot and the shooter picked up another gun and killed more. Hero could have tried to shoot him (without knowing how to shoot) or beat him with the gun.

That is the "fog of war". Idiot.

Nicki Minaj has gone from left-wing, pro-trans, anti-trump to trump's new bff.

Makes me wonder... what does she think she's going to need a pardon for?

In the past, protection rackets were proposed & enforced in secret.

No longer.

"Nice little company you got here, NVidia. It'd be a shame if something happened to it, like you can't sell to China due to security concerns. But for 25% of profits, we'll let you. Let us worry about the constitution."

Ever offer a toddler, one who is just learning what money can do, the choice between "a shiny new quarter, or this crumbled old dollar" just to see what he picks?

That's trump in one sentence.

Paramount is challenging Netflix in acquiring Warner Brothers Discovery.
- Paramount is now controlled by MAGAt money.
- trump says he'll be "involved" in assessing the deal.

Any bets on who'll own WB next year? Personally, I don't think Netflix can match any Ellison bribe.

WaPo reports that the SCOTUS seems to favour allowing the prez to fire heads of independent federal agencies.

This means, the only private discussion they still need to have is, if we ever allow a Democrat to win the presidency, how do we take it back?

When is a journalist, foreign head of state, cabinet member, or any elected official going to tell Trump to his face that the emperor has no clothes?

One might be followed by an avalanche.

Republicans have a new prime directive: Defend the indefensible.

That's it.
December 6, 2025 at 11:06 PM
In a perfect world, once trump is out of office (in prison, dead, something), all of the people he pardoned will be back in prison* for "bribing a government official". That's still a crime, right?

*exclude the J6 thugs. Sticking your nose up the president's butt is not yet a crime.
December 4, 2025 at 2:30 PM
trump has decided to pardon former Dem rep Henry Cuellar. Cuellar must be using his money laundering and bribery skills to give to trump, rather than take for himself.

So it's all good, right?

Bad guy: possible low-level drug mules off the Venezuelan coast. Kill them all!

Good guy: former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, who flooded the US with drugs. Pardon him! (in exchange for a hefty bribe)
December 2, 2025 at 1:23 AM
trump SAYS he's trying to stop illegal drugs yet he pardoned former Honduras president and drug lord Juan Orlando Hernández, who is probably more responsible for flooding the US with drugs than anyone else on earth.

Any guess as to how much the bribe was that he paid to trump? I'm guessing US$10B

A great example of what's wrong w/the USA.

One guy suggested the poverty level should be $140k. Some think that's wrong. Did they offer reasons TO THE AUTHOR why his reasoning is flawed? He might rethink some of essay, or defend what he wrote.

Arguing is not communicating.
An investor called $140,000 the new poverty line. Experts disagreed but said he had a point.
Michael Green’s tally of the costs of raising a family in the U.S. today is going viral, even if some economists scoff at his math.

If trump/repugs were serious about crime, they'd be deporting convicted criminals to foreign countries, and leave the day and restaurant workers alone.

Does anyone think that Hegseth's "kill them all" is NOT an admission that he wanted to leave no witnesses to his illegal slaughter of foreign fishermen?

Here's how the Mamdani and trump meeting played out:

trump: NYC isn't getting a cent in federal money.

Mamdani: I understand. How big a kickback do you need? Is 10% enough?

And the rest of the meeting was haggling over percentage.
November 24, 2025 at 2:24 PM
No matter what you think of president trump, you have to admit that he knows US constitutional law. I mean, it's astounding, the percentage of SCOTUS decisions that have gone his way.

The only other explanation is, of course, the obvious one, the one everybody knows.

Quitter Greene is resigning from Congress, effective two days after her five year mark.

I'm sure she didn't realise that by doing so, she receives a lifelong pension and health care.
