So it seems you have to be a verified war criminal to get an invite to join the Board of Peace. No surprise here.

Having seen segments of our military deployed against law abiding US citizens, and I may no longer feel the urge to thank members of the military for their service.

Excerpts from the press release for the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. If MAGA and Trump had any self awareness, they would read this and understand why he had no shot of winning it, despite their protestations. www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace...

So the guy who claims to have reduced the price of medicine by 1500% thinks the BLS jobs numbers look incorrect? How can anybody be so stupid to support such an obvious moron?

So the government can't maintain adequate traffic control at Newark and staff at the airport say it's no longer safe to fly there, but the most pressing National Security Threat is that we get 25% of our movies from overseas?

Maybe gays and trans people in the military weren’t the problem. After all, there was no need to spend a lot of money on a make-up studio until the Fox news host took over. Now our military is led by an ignorant, self-centered snowflake.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

The law enforcement spokesman at the FSU shooting said "... we will not tolerate this type of activity..." Sorry, but when you don't do anything to stop an activity, you are tolerating the activity.

Trump could shoot one of the Supreme Court Justices on 5th Avenue and the remaining justices would be like "That action is one that's protected by Presidential Immunity." And then they would all bow down to their King.

After the Trump administration has completely destroyed the First Amendment perhaps they could work on returning the Second Amendment to something that looks at least a little like the original intent of the amendment.

Since idiots in the US elected a pro-Russia, pro-North Korea leader, can someone explain to me why we should continue spending $1T a year on a military built to protect us from Russia and North Korea? Trump wouldn't lift a finger against aggression from either of those countries.

How pathetic it is that a man in his position still gets his ultimate pleasure by saying "You're fired!". And thousands of Americans will lose their jobs for no good reason because of this.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?
