For a 20+ years I have obsessed/depressed about global warming. Then Trump came along. He took my mind off one existential threat to another - himself.

Not a disaster from an Iranian financial perspective. My only wish is that Trump pay for the lives he has taken (e.g. children at school, U.S. service members, etc.) and the money the U.S. has spent on this fiasco. But that won't happen.

Other words he is prone to saying ~under order of President Trump. I take those words as his cop out, like ~I'm just following orders. This swings back to the Patriotic Six Congresspeople who said ~you should not obey illegal orders. Hegseth obeyed illegal orders and gave them.

Why isn't Trump treated like a Vexatious Litigant? He seems to lose many more cases/charges than he wins. And if he were considered to be a V.L. shouldn't he pay the cost of his frivolous lawsuits instead of the taxpayer?

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

People might think that whatever destruction is done to science in the US, we can undo in 4 years with a Democratic president and Congress. The problem is that many areas require specialized knowledge and skills built up over years, and once that's lost, it's hard to get back.
