You know the world has become a very strange place when my wife demands to watch game 3 of the NBA finals just so she can hear Trump get booed.

It still amazes me that a significant portion of the American people still think Trump is a great man who will protect their interests even though he keeps fucking them over. Reminds me of the sheriff in Blazing Saddles - Boy, am I smart! Boy, are they STUPID!!!

As Helena Rosenblatt writes: Liberality is “demonstrating the virtues of a citizen, showing devotion to the common good and respecting the importance of mutual connectedness.” I long for this.

Hegseth's reversal of the helicopter pilots' suspension for the Kid Rock flyover in ruinous for good order & discipline. Now servicemen know they can ignore superior officers' orders so long as their actions align with MAGA. Need any more evidence that this douchebag is unfit for the position?

The next time my wife complains about something I've done I'm going to blame my previous wife, from whom I was divorced 24 years ago. I'm going to call it the "blame Biden" defense.

Trump says he couldn't arrange for evacuation of American civilians from the Middle East because "everything happened so fast." But yesterday (3/4) Hegseth said that before hostilities started DOD was taking defensive measures which included moving some personnel out of Iran's attacking reach. Huh?

Why would anyone be surprised that Trump is telling everyone to disregard what they are seeing about Alex Pretti’s murder? That’s what he did about January 6 and he got elected president. AS LONG AS AMERICANS LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT HE’LL KEEP DOING IT!!!!

There has been some minimal pushback from gun rights groups (NRA, Gun Owner's of America). Of course, NRA blames "leftist" protesters-I guess they were only worried about "jack-booted government thugs" if a Democrat is in office. If you ever needed evidence that NRA is short for fascist here it is.

What the DOJ is saying about the delay in the Epstein files release is bullshit. Any lawyer who has ever done discovery knows there is software than can review millions of pages of documents very quickly to determine what needs to be redacted. They are lying f’ing liars.

Let's say for the sake of arguments that the videos of the Minneapolis ICE killing are ambiguous as to whether the car was headed for the ICE officer (they aren't, but bear with me). The claims by ICE Barbie et al that a riot was taking place are a complete deliberate lie. Par for the course.

What the Venezuelan expatriots cheering Trump's removal of Maduro is that Trump IS Maduro. Their country isn't in any better shape than it was - probably it will be worse since Trump considers it a shithole country. His only interest is oil.

No other country provides healthcare for its population through a private insurance system. Not one. The reason is simple: it is wildly inefficient, fails to meet the population's needs, and is completely illogical. This system needs to be dunked. Medicare for all!!!

Pardon me for stating the obvious but this is the most amoral, petty and deceitful administration in American history. The people manning top positions at DOJ, DOD, HHS, etc., would have been perfectly comfortable in Stalin's or Hitler's government. Meanwhile, GOP leaders cheer them on. Frightening.

We have unfortunately reached the future foreseen by H.L. Mencken: “On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” I wonder if he would be depressed by the accuracy of this prediction.
