How long are you going to put up with this? Is there some evolutionary incentive that demands that you joyfully descend into ignorant fantasy? No one is coming to your rescue. How much is it going to take to get you off your ass and into the street? FFS people, stand up.

Trump: "We will run the country”
Secretary of State Rubio: “Not ‘running.’ It’s running ‘policy.’ The policy with regards to…this.”
Trump: “it’ll be very controversial...we’re in charge [of Venezuela].”

LoL'd at an email I received today. CC interest stayed around 14.5% from 2009 to 2018. Only recently have banks gone off the rails thinking 21.74% is a great balance-transfer deal.
In other news: Trump has ended the CFPB, which will close down in 2026 due to lack of funding...

Okay, here's like, 20 min of my time to show how any graphic (in this case a hastilly made bullet talking paper) can communicate a more *impactful* condemnation of something than repeating the phrase "millions of Americans will see increased health insurance costs" during interviews.

Did anyone see a clear and concise list like this during the congressional standoff? Anyone seeing an arguement like this even now? I whipped this up in literally 20 minutes. Our elected officials SUCK at communication.

I've had family and co-workers who are gun enthusiasts. Heard all the excuses against gun laws. But every excuse involves either selective attention, irrational risk management, ignorance of the phrase "well regulated militia", or relies on a outdated understanding of US exceptionalism.

A spinning top’s wobble precedes its eventual fall.
Every rule and tradition that’s destroyed in favor of empowering the executive branch adds more wobble between administrations. Soon entire presidencies will be spent simply undoing what’s been done by the previous administration.

Hopelessly convoluted research topic: If ICE needs masks, why don’t normal uniformed police need masks? Don’t they deal with more significant threats?
Recent debate on X went unchallenged by the few left-leaning folks in the chat. A main pro-Trump point ignored this basic question.

We the people task Congress to make laws, oversee the Executive branch, and run the budget. Regardless of why, they are clearly incapable of performing their asigned duties. We have given them feedback, an improvement plan, and time to fix their flaws. It's now time to let them go. All. Of. Them.
