“They’re gonna come in and they’re gonna say, ‘Sir, we are sorry,”’ Trump said. “They’ve treated the United States very, very badly. I think a deal will be made but it’s gonna be fair.” Nope. Canada has nothing to apologize for. Trump never apologizes even when he orders literal atrocities.

At some point the people of the US need to organize a bit and issue statements to the effect of "Hey, active duty US military, if you use force against US civilians we'll shoot you right in the face. US military acting against US civilians is unconstitutional. So don't do it."

Susan Collins pledged to serve just TWO terms. Now she’s running for a SIXTH. Trust matters. Promises matter. Troy Jackson is fighting for working families, lower drug costs & protecting Social Security. After 30 years, Maine deserves more than “concerned.” #MainePolitics #TroyJackson #SheShed

If you dislike Trump, your assignment for this election is to only vote for Democrats. Do not skip the election. Do not waste a vote on a non-viable 3rd party candidate. Everyone clear on this assignment?

Talking about my struggles with being overweight still makes me uncomfortable, since weight can carry moral judgment in ways that other health challenges don't. But that fear stops too many struggling from getting treatment that could extend their lives.

Anyone who suggests that private business runs things better than government must remember: Making the public believe that keeps private business getting revenue, and it maybe was true when there was lots of competition, but oligarchs don't need to compete on price anymore: it's all gouging.

I've lived long enough to think I'd have seen it, but is there an accented "r" character with a ~ or something to indicate an "r" sound that rolls on the tongue, and an "r" with a umlaut that indicates an "r" sound that rolls in the back of the throat? There should be.

Hi, Norwegian here
In the USA, medical school tuition is
typically over $200,000.
In Norway: Nothing.
Students get government loans for living
costs. Each semester you pass, up to 40%
converts to a grant.
This is why a cashier's child can become a
doctor in Norway. Your academic abilities
matter, not who your parents are.
Follow for more from a social democracy,
where dignity is not a privilege.

Suppose Dems win a majority in the house and senate, and make JD Vance an offer: "we impeach Trump, YOU become president, but you must NOT veto the following things". JD doesn't comply, gets impeached too.

Russia's really good at defending their territory, but terrible at offensive attacks. …but what we see time and again is an army will do better defending itself than attacking others. So maybe attacking Russia would be difficult, but Russia is not a serious threat to ANYONE. Not at all.
