From now on, all my friends are gonna be strangers. I'm all through, ever trusting anyone. The only thing I can count on now is my fingers. I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone. Merl Haggard, 1965.

With a Yale lae degree? He's just acting ignorant to worm his way into the MAGA mold. He must know better. Or maybe he doesn't. Maybe he's just as stupid as DJT. Maybe even as Markwayne or Tuberville or Blackburn.

I'm a little confused here. So now they (the GOP) are attacking Talarico for not telling them, and the public, that they (the GOP) were lying soon enough?

For national security reasons it's really disturbing that the president is so close. Do you think she could tell Putin anything that he or Tulsi haven't already?

What was he so afraid that he was going to say that he wouldn't want anybody to hear? This guy is not much of a politician. This is just stupid. This alone could tank his electoral chances. Constitutional originalist? Free speech defender?

The worst thing, of many bad things, that Musk has done was killing USAID. Millions will die in poverty and misery. Cutting Starlink to Ukraine is coming close. Democracy in Europe may die because of it.

Cutting off Ukraine's offensive and defensive capability during a hot war with the US's longest standing enemy is treason. If DJT ordered it, or if Musk did, either or both should be tried for treason. If Ukraine falls all of Europe is in danger. Democracy is in danger.

Unusual campaign strategy for a Democrat. But something similar has been working for Republicans for the last 10 or 12 years.

Odd that both sides are still bombing one another. Typical Trump ceasefire. Typical Trump peace deal. Nobel Prize for sure.

It's hard to pick a worst for this admin, but RFK may be the one with the most direct effect on the most lives. And he gives false hopes to many who believe in his quackery, along with Oz. He's clearly at the top for most personally repellent. Well, Ka$h, Miller, Mullin--I give up.

It's a mix. DJT is in charge of idiotic vanity projects; Russ Vought of dismantling democratic institutions; Miller of racist rampages; Putin of all to do with international affairs; Musk of tech policy; Luttnick of economic policy; his sons of corruption. Nobody is in charge of defense.

Ironic that they are all so focused on trans kids and so many have "unusual search histories" including their great leader, who has an unusual FBI investigative history, but that doesn't seem to bother them.

This is pure PR. Russia doesn't refine enough to export. If we import diesel that was being sold elsewhere, it doesn't lower our price. It's set on the global market. When US refiners sell diesel in the US it's at the global price. Importing doesn't lower the price.

Maybe we should rename them the Trump files. Not only DJT but most of his government are given high prominence throughout.

Putin bombing schools, hospitals, apartments; the US bombing schools in Aran; Bibi killing men, women and children in Gaza; none of that's too far. But Ukraine bombing the disinformation center of the world is TOO FAR!!?? Elon's money has warped his brain. Go to Mars. Leave us alone.

It's also an attempt to convince US voters that he's trying to do something to lower prices in the US. Ridiculous because the deal doesn't change the supply to the world market so it doesn't change the price, even if it weren't a trivial amount. But MAGA will believe it.

Leon Lowery @alviel.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
The odd thing is that banning US exports of diesel would probably raise the US price of diesel. Prices are set on the global market. The US is the biggest exporter. Reducing supply to the world market would raise the price, even here. DJT understands nothing about oil markets.

There is a ballot initiative industry in this country that contrives issues to do initiatives on and then sells them to local/state groups on both ends of the spectrum: Tipped wages; pot; ranked choice voting; taxes. Issues don't matter. They just want to get paid for setting up the initiatives.

I looked up Griffith Observatory on Wikipedia and found that in their list of movies filmed there, they omitted Rebel Without a Cause. That's where Natalie Wood sat on a Pontiac hood (John Prine).

We used to be proud that many of the smartest kids in the world wanted to come here to study. If DJT gets his way he won't have to worry about foreign students, or foreign anybody else. Nobody will want to come here. Now there's an immigration policy for you: Make this country repellent.

Donnie, because you claim to change the name doesn't mean you own it. Hell, it doesn't even mean you have changed the name. It just means that you are going to call it by the wrong name and cost schools and agencies incredible amounts of money to implement your phony change.

So they are finally going to use the anti-trust laws. But for the wrong reason. The consolidation of media ownership under a few right wingers hasn't bothered them, but resistance to govt suppression of a free press? That's a step too far for this DOJ.
