I don’t have any mental health training but it appears to me that MAGAs demonstrate behaviors consistent with psychopathy and sociopathy. Some of these behaviors include taking joy in the pain of others, aggression, irrationality and loyalty to a specific person or gang. Cont…

Markets are predicting the Fed to raise interest rates today. My question is; are these people stupid? Trump forced Jerome Powell outand launched an investigation against Lisa Cook for not lowering interest rates. I predict the interest rates will stay the same and Trump will have a meltdown over it

Anytime I hear about any federal agency undergoing “extensive restructuring” under this administration, I expect the worst and now it’s the NSA being altered. Sen Wyden opposed Gen. Rudd’s 3/10/26 confirmation to head the NSA in part bc he wouldn’t commit to getting warrants to spy on Americans.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... I know we were all banking on dominating MAGA in the midterms so we can bring Trump to justice but this ruling means we need to be working on plan B (I think a nationwide general strike) because it’s unlikely the election is going to be free and fair

Senate Republicans are mad at Fauci for not answering questions about why their penises are so small and why they can’t satisfy their wives or men they meet on grinder Their 2nd question is answered by their 1st one but the reason they’re so small is they handed over their manhood to the tiniest man

As America is coming close to losing its measles elimination status because of the conspiracy theories promoted by Trump and RFK jr, it dawned on me that this is happening because after years of learning to believe lies republicans and MAGA have developed herd immunity to facts, logic and reason

Wait a second, are you telling me the AI bubble, the very thing keeping this crappy economy propped up, could burst? In just about every conceivable way, Trump and his admin have screwed up the country. The nation needs to repudiate Trump at the ballot box in the midterms

Operation Epic Fury It is abundantly clear that the administration spent more time coming up with the name of the operation than planning the war or even coordinating the lies they tell us about the reason for the war and still settled on the most juvenile and stupid name for an operation in history

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... It’s not lost on me that the Trump admin is demanding access to AI tools for mass surveillance purposes as well allowing drones to kill humans autonomously while also trying to designate Antifa, something that can’t be be considered organized, as a terrorist group

It’s great that the Supreme Court stood up to Trump for once but we can expect markets to have a good day and for Trump to take credit for the rebound while complaining about the SC’s “foolish and illegal” ruling.

Even if Trump’s BLS didn’t cook the books (he fired a previous commissioner for a bad jobs report) economist Justin Wolfers shows us how fragile this aspect of the economy is. It’s worth watching because knowing is half the battle- GI Joe

Even the propagandists at the WaPo can’t hide the Trump admin’s cruelty and incompetence, but what I’ve highlighted here should be bigger news. It’s kinda seems like the Border Patrol needs to control the narrative before more people find out that Trump’s Gestapo has shot another human being

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

I can admit when I’m wrong. I thought the NRA and other gun rights groups would side with the Trump admin on the murder of Alex Pretti but they are calling for investigations into the shooting of a law abiding citizen at the hands of federal agents and I’m pleasantly surprised that I was wrong

www.theguardian.com/us-news/live... This yet another travesty that should’ve never happened but MAGAs thought protecting “white culture” was more important than preserving democracy.

ICE agents should familiarize themselves with The Night of Long Knives.

If Trump feels threatened by them in away, there’ll be a purge

I think it’s necessary to remind people that FARC, a Marxist-Leninist guerrilla group, fought the Colombian government for 50 years. Venezuela is neighbors with Colombia and Marxist-Leninists aren’t fond of America. Trump is dragging us into another quagmire like Iraq and like Iraq, it’s about oil

I just saw a headline on the WaPo claiming the economy grew at its fastest pace in 2 years over the summer😒 Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of economics knows this is pure propaganda. Increasing unemployment, rising prices, more small loans going into default doesn’t equal a growing economy
