This article is exactly how I feel - Most politicians are opportunists - there are few exceptions. There is no excuse for anybody's vote for felon Trump. He has been around and noisy for the last 10 years. One third of eligible voters stayed away from the 2024 election and a little over one third of eligible voters supported him. "Would you hire a scout-master with a sexual predator record for your kids' scout troop?". If you cannot answer this question you are a Trump voter.
100% correct. Never ever to be forgotten or forgiven. I expect when all is said and done, drumpf’s enablers, generals all who put his mad babbling into action will be prosecuted, convicted and jailed. In Nuremberg style trials.
Wow, Rick: serious catharsis, reading this. Thinking of my MAGA relatives and their seeming immunity to fact, even when they know those facts are from my professional experience and expertise. Does. Not. Compute. Maddening. I’ve pulled away for my own sanity.
So true Rick. The MAGA faithful in the voting public... and of course the lame ass GOP Congress & Senators who could shut down the shitshow any time they want to. They choose to keep it going every day. Mantra in my mind: Liars/Cowards/Traitors/Thieves. I've seen those stickers others are mentioning, available online - a picture of trump smirking and pointing a finger saying "I did this", that can be stuck next to store shelf price tags.
Great message about the current state of affairs this VE-Day.
Unfortunately the rest of us here in the U.S. are stuck with tRump’s shit economy as well.
I do want the assholes that voted for Trump to feel the pain.
What worries me is that a lot of MAGAts are just too stupid or possibly “uneducated” to figure any of this out.
Remember Dietrich Bonhoeffer said that the real problem that caused the rise of the Third Reich was not evil but ignorance.
I fear we’re in the same situation here in the United States in 2025.
God willing there are enough people in this country to see what’s happening and turn things around.
In the meantime please be careful out there- especially if you’re flying your own plane. There have been something like 151 aviation accidents this year already, thanks to the people our fearless leader has appointed to run the country. You never know when someone will be directed to fly another aircraft straight into your airspace.
Oh, and congratulations to you and your team on the three Webby’s.
The Uppence is coming. Loopy Loomer attacking Pope Leo XI is madness, and not the good kind. The guy who stepped onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica and said, “Peace be with you all” is your enemy? I may not call myself a Christian, but Jesus is a friend of mine. I’m popping the corn now so I can watch Team MAGA hate on his Holy Wokeness. Love this line from the interweb: “The papal name Leo unsurprisingly shows a Pope who is going to be strong during a time of crisis, historically." So cool that he aligned himself with The Lion. I kinda wish he’d have chosen the name Aslan I ✨🦁💫
"We in the pro-democracy, anti-Trump world have spent years rightly blaming Donald Trump for a broad portfolio of corruption, lawlessness, incompetence, cruelty, and chaos." Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...
Any list of how we're worse off should include "sicker," both because of RFK's shockingly ignorant management, and because of Trump's betrayal of government support for the medical care that many of us paid for during our entire working lives.
I don't wish ill on anyone, and I feel like we should try even harder to understand Trump voters, and...aw sh!t, I can't do any of this forgiveness stuff anymore. They bought the ticket and I hope they enjoy the ride.
More seriously, as they pull away from their own mess, we on the right side of truth and democracy should proactively harness their disillusionment and re-direct their primal rage against their orange god. There won't be many who do that, but there will be enough to shift the political landscape ever so slowly in the right direction.
Unfortunately, the clown bus riders will almost never accept that it was them, let alone their 'Messiah' that caused it. And in the final moments, they will be like the bad guy who dies in one of the Mad Max movies and his final act is to flip the bird.
In fact, at the End of Trump Times, they'll probably go out and set everything on fire, just so they can have a faux Viking funeral for him, while they themselves stand surrounded by the vast kindling pile. Go figure.
Govt stats on COL and how it's calculated doesn't reflect the "real" inflationary aspects of COL as independently verified by private companies such as Shadowstats and Chapwood Index
These companies tell the true story which the Feds don't want you to know but are clearly reflected in our "real" experience The reason that the Fed hides behind their inflation model is they don't want the American public to know that the purchasing power of the fiat currency they hold in their wallets is 95% of what it was in 1971 when the US went off the gold standard
By going off the gold standard the Fed has been able to produce mountains of bad debt over the decades by quantitative easing(QE) leading to the largest debt bubble in world history Now the foreign investors see the fiat dollar as a liability and in the ensuring years we will see its collapse The stage is set Get out of credit and get into gold The price of gold going up means that the purchasing power of the dollar is going down

This says it all.
1000% Rick!!!! I could not agree more!
I'm sad. I thought I was gonna see and hear Rick on video. Oh well. I’ll find him again. Rick makes me laugh.

I wish the MAGAets would read this.

Bless me Saint Joan of Snark, for I have been extra snarky today. My favorite chant of the week is “Da Pacem Domine”. It’s got horses at the end and a great album cover 🐎 https://music.apple.com/us/album/da-pacem-domine-the-chant-of-the-templars/1390137595?i=1390137609

And the MAGAS will find some other BS to justify their Orange King’s actions.

All too true for the white nationalist evangelicals.
