Am I the only one who finds it absurd that the US government seeks to punish a comedian for a joke, yet ignores a presidential threat to demolish an entire civilisation?

I'm not sure about you, but I think the collapse of US hegemony, a global price spike and recession, and a new ground war in the Middle East are far worse than drag queens reading books at the library.

why aren't other countries helping us with the strait of hormuz after we started an unjust war, cut off trade, and insulted them for a year?

From November 2024. I don't believe Trump is in control of this war. I worry about how he may try to control it now that the war is here. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/just-answe...
The other important thing is that Trump’s goals are different than those of the people around him. Trump cares about money, power, and immunity. The Project 2025 men have an ideological vision that he likely doesn’t care about but will enact anyway. Others surrounding Trump badly want a war with Iran. The potential nature of this war is frightening. Trump is obsessed with nuclear weapons and has been since the 1980s. He’s spoken frequently of using them, but at the same time, he says he fears them. He believes the world will end in nuclear annihilation. My fear is that the way Trump deals with his fear is by becoming the one who pushes the button.

The President who demanded a Nobel Peace Prize for himself sure gave up negotiations quickly to start a war with Iran. What a disaster, Americans don't want another war in the middle east.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

If you examine Trump's first-term pardons, you'll understand the criminal networks backing him. And that a disproportionate number are tied to one source: Jared Kushner. Interview here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2l1...

Before DOGE, systems meant to serve millions of people were being run by a few harried employees using outdated systems. And now, after DOGE, they are being run by even fewer, even more harried employees on those same outdated systems!

Not a peep from Musk about this government spending. Was the chainsaw from him worth it, Elon?
A tweet from Armand Domalewski reads: “The total USAID budget was $35 billion by the way.” Below it, a retweeted post from More Perfect Union says: “BREAKING: The Trump administration is doubling its Argentina bailout to $40 billion.”

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚
