Most telling part of this rant: That the war will go on until "we decide it is over," not until the aims of the war are achieved - because there are no stated aims; and Trump prefers having none, so any result will allow him to try to claim a "win."

His rhetoric is that of a despot craving more power and wealth and he is angered that the forces of law and representative democracy hold (barely) his iron-fisted imperial ambitions in check.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

The nurses are pissed

Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control.
This is about total control.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment. That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant. Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

If Keith Sonderling truly wanted to “ensure we preserve our country’s core values”, he would not be placing libraries “in lockstep with this Administration” and ordering them to “focus on patriotism” or “promote American exceptionalism”. Ministry of Truth shit.
March 20, 2025
WASHINGTON – Deputy Secretary of Labor Keith E. Sonderling was sworn in as Acting Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) today, after being appointed to the role by President Donald J. Trump. IMLS, an independent government agency, is the primary source of federal support for the nation's museums and libraries.

“It is an honor to be appointed by President Trump to lead this important organization in its mission to advance, support, and empower America’s museums and libraries, which stand as cornerstones of learning and culture in our society. I am committed to steering this organization in lockstep with this Administration to enhance efficiency and foster innovation. We will revitalize IMLS and restore focus on patriotism, ensuring we preserve our country’s core values, promote American exceptionalism and cultivate love of country in future generations,” said Acting Director Sonderling.

Musk/Trump regime actively working to shift the relative distribution of power in Europe more towards Russia. Not to make America safer or more secure, but to assist Moscow and Putin in their efforts to rebuild Soviet-style dominance in Central & Eastern Europe. No other explanation fits.

RFK Jr is a firehouse of disinformation.  Getting measles gives you immunity, but also gives you measles with risks of encephalitis, pneumonia, and death.  MMR vaccine wanes 0.04%/year, not 4.5%.  For the vast majority it’s lifetime protection and it’s incredibly safe.
