Princeton and Harvard again outdoing themselves populating our government with malignant morons. Please tell me he got in through money/connection - or else I have to doubt the intellectual capacity of all their grads. If they had any self-respect they would rescind his diplomas.

Some of us have been screaming about this since the first boat annihilation. There is no Congress-sanctioned War. Every killing has been extra-judicial. No attempts at interdiction. Just MURDER on the high seas - drug traffickers or not. From the excellent @magixarc.bsky.social

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Bynum: If you can find money to send $40 billion to Argentina but you can’t find money for food for kids and seniors, I have a problem with that. If you can find money for two airplanes for Kristi Noem, then you can find money to feed American children and seniors.
