if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Over the last nine days, the house has been out of session while the Democracy is sold for parts.
Would have been nice had the Democrat come back on their own and sued, yelled, stood up, etc. Anything but stayed home

Does Donald Trump honestly expect us to take seriously the notion that Fox weekend's Pete Hegseth, The Real World's Sean Duffy, RFK Jr, Dr. Oz, Kash Patel, and JD Vance represent the "height of genius" and the "best and brightest" -- his proclaimed standards for his government? Seriously?

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.”
Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity.
The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

Trump was just raising tariffs on Columbia, not Colombia, and for once I agree. 8 CDs for a penny is absurd.

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.”
“Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.”
“Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.”
“‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us”
Pause.

America's biggest problem isn't having a president who routinely lies to its citizens, including saying he didn't know what Project 2025 was, it's that over half of those citizens either don't care about or applaud the deceptions.

We’re meant to calmly accept the absurd idea that any white man is innately qualified for any job or position, no matter what his education, resume or proven capabilities and any non-white man or woman inherently stole their way into employment via #DEI. This of course is pure, undiluted fascism.
