The US is at war with Iran. Iran gets weapons from Russia. The US bankrolls Russia by ending sanctions and buying diesel. The US is so desperate to fund the military industrial complex that it has started fighting proxy wars against itself. These are unwinnable wars, not meant to be won.

Trump Signs Order Exempting Russia From Sanctions Law
The sanctions were part of a measure that was named after Senator Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican who died in July.

Thanks to RFK Jr, the USDA scuttled a plan to combat bird flu that included vaccinating chickens, because Brooke Rollins “was concerned about whether it would clash with the Health secretary’s anti-vaccine views”. Seems like a good time to deploy the word shitbirds for these government officials.

I’m a public health voter because US public health is dying of RFK Jr. poisoning. Remember: not one Democrat voted to confirm him. Republicans in charge are either sitting by and letting it happen or ardently cheering him on.

Trump always comes to Putin's rescue. He overrides US Congressional bills, acts and laws - when they are on recess, late at night or whenever he knows the Speaker of the Housed Moses Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune will not defy him. Ask them why do they continue to allow this?
