Oregonian who doesn't have the patience for this clown show nonsense anymore. Middle aged white guy who is only getting more leftist the older he gets. Dad to a kid and a cat. Partner to a spouse who makes him a better person everyday.

Well, shit. I guess backing up fellow fascist criminal Bibi wound up being more important than that Nobel Peace Prize. Get ready, folks. We are about to be fucked like we can't imagine.

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

This ‘College Protester’ Isn’t Real. It’s an AI-Powered Undercover Bot for Cops
Massive Blue is helping cops deploy AI-powered social media bots to talk to people they suspect are anything from violent sex criminals all the way to vaguely defined “protesters.”

It's well past time that we start seeing some young primary challengers to these fossils who are under the mistaken impression that we still live in the days of "my friend across the aisle."

Ain't going to be no NATO left if Trump gets his way. Maybe a EuroArmy, but they're going to have their hands full on the Eastern front.

80+ years of building strong partnerships with our allies, all of the trillions of dollars and blood spilled in doing so, and this compromised psychopath flushes it all down the toilet in one day. There's only one guy who benefits from this: Uncle Vova. This. Is. What. Treason. Looks. Like.

I knew from the moment it was announced that this meeting was going to be a setup. Stagecrafted like a damn reality show to try to humiliate Zelenskyy. Trump has no more plausible deniability; it is now clear as day that he serves Putin and will gladly destroy all of our hard-earned alliances.

Goddamn, for someone I've never met, I loved that man. For all the shit in the world, we are still a better place for having shared it with him for the time we did.

Trump's ego was part of it. But my bigger disgust comes from him showing the world in no uncertain terms that he serves the whims of his master and fellow thug in the Kremlin, and to hell with all of our hard-earned allies. We can no longer be trusted.

Trump's meeting with Zelenskyy was a setup and a trap from the get go. Good on him for not giving in to Trump's thuggish shakedown attempts. If it wasn't clear that Trump is working for Putin before, it should be now. We cannot be considered a reliable partner by any of our former allies anymore.

Read up on the Technocracy movement that Musk's grandfather, Joshua Haldeman (the guy who decided to move the family to South Africa to benefit from Apartheid), was involved in. Rule by a cadre of self-appointed "genius" elite who know better than the rest of us proles... sound familiar?

Letterkenny is kinda just every character saying their catchphrase in 50 different ways every episode. Or contrived wordplay spoken in a way nobody speaks. Followed by a huge slow-mo fistfight set to a banging soundtrack. And I say this as someone who *likes* the show.

Carter showed us that you don't get elected by being straight with Americans and telling them difficult truths. Regan showed us that you get elected by placating us with bullshit fairy tales of exceptionalism. An unfortunate political playbook that still works today.

The Democratic party is bound and determined, once again, to be the Washington Generals of political parties. It makes sense, since we're headed into a Putin-style system where there are technically "elections" featuring toothless, obsequious opposition parties that pose no threat to the regime.

"Owner of a car company" sounds so benign. He's an unelected foreign-born oligarch and the richest person on earth. This is James Bond villain stuff, and we're just pretending it's the same wacky Republicans-as-usual BS we've been dealing with since 1994. This is orders of magnitude worse.

So an unelected, foreign-born, potential illegal immigrant oligarch is calling the shots? Nobody voted for this guy. Even the people who voted for Trump didn't vote for him. Trump's not even in office yet. How the hell is this real life?
