Optics of GIs blasting away at a handcuffed 50-year old wannabe martyr in a wheelchair are… something. Also a staggering amount of historical illiteracy, given firing squad is traditionally a soldier’s death. Nuremberg nazis begged to be shot, since hanging carries stigma of common criminality.

Hasan was paralyzed in the shooting, so as if this wasn't all bad enough already, sit with the image of him being executed while in a wheelchair for that extra frisson of barbarity.

Replacing American workers with foreign workers so you don't have to pay Americans a decent wage is actually peak Capitalism, but this answer just proves that "Socialism" means "Everything that I don't like."

This monstrous cruelty is what Americans apparently wanted: This is what people voted for. Ultimately the people are to blame. They campaigned on exactly this, no one can pretend this was a surprise. This is a deeply sick nation.

The President has decided that in order to make ground beef cheaper, he will cut tariffs on ground beef. And I'm wondering if he could generalize from this one product to other products, and perhaps concede that tariffs raise prices on American consumers.

We're very happy criminal charges were dropped against our client Justin Carreno, who we were representing for purposes of his federal contracting employment. He lost two jobs due to this frivolous arrest. At minimum, he is entitled to public apology. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

In 1933 Adolf Hitler shook down German industrialists for millions of Reichsmark to establish what he called the Adolf-Hitler-Spende der deutschen Wirtschaft—a slush fund he used to pay off Nazis whose violence got them into legal trouble. In 2026, Donald Trump is quietly doing the same thing.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Absolutely true, and somehow not-discussed point: The US **ALREADY** has all the strategic advantages it could gain by "owning" Greenland. Through treaties and (until now) close NATO cooperation w Denmark The US has a naval base & 'space force' base there. You see USAF planes at Grndlnd airports

The cynics think today's attack on Venezuela is staged and transactional. Maduro is allied with Putin, but in 2019 Putin offered Trump a swap: Russia cedes Venezuela and gets Ukraine. (See Fiona Hill's testimony in Trump's first impeachment trial, h/t @davetroy.com). Even Maduro may be in on it. 2/

So many social welfare programs act as subsidies for corporations. Their profits are literally paid by our tax dollars. The mountains of wealth they have accumulated and hoarded could only exist by stealing it from the workers.

I really don’t have words to describe how incandescently angry I am at Trump’s hosting of Putin. It spits in the face of every American who ever fought against tyranny, it’s an obscene affront to our allies, and the only reason it’s not treason is that we’re not actively at war with Russia.

The billionaire CEO of the third richest company on the planet gives the President an actual block of gold so his company is exempted from US Government tariffs. And the whole thing is broadcast live on TV. Anyone who can't see what is happening to this country is unsalvageable at this point.

Starlink's connection speeds drop below the federal definition of "broadband" at a density of ~7 customers per square mile, according to recent research. The more the customers in an area, the slower everybody's connections get. Data shows that 83% of US Starlink customers get sub-broadband speeds.
