If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

Correct. Homan saying “in theater” says it all — they view themselves as at war with other Americans

In a month full of lousy news, I can’t think of a better way to end it. Thank you, Pete Buttigieg.

I don't give a single solitary fuck about what happens to Bill Clinton, specifically, but I also want to go on record as saying there is no one, famous or a personal friend, who I hold so dear that if they were a rapist, I would not want that news coming out. Name, shame, prosecute. ALL. OF. THEM.

Yeah, hard to explain that... #TDS #ItsAcult #MAGAtNation

Remember what Trump said about Rob Reiner and John McCain when he dies. I don't want any revisionist bullshit about how he was "controversial". He is a total piece of shit with no redeeming qualities and his obituary should reflect that.

I know I've been beating this drum for over seven years now, but Donald Trump is a very and truly sick man who should be in a mental or penal institution and certainly not the White House.

So poignantly haunting yet heartening. Chag Sameach.

Honestly, this Trump post is a posthumous badge of honor for Rob Reiner. Because if this is how Trump speaks about someone after their death, then they clearly did something right in their life.

Rob Reiner started his career as the moral center of a hateful world. His life and work carried that spirit for generations. Losing him now, in such a violent way—as authoritarianism tightens its grip, oligarchs consolidate their greed, and Hollywood gets stripped for parts—feels profoundly unjust.

Couldn't agree more. All of these proposals are constitutional, reasonable, and vital. (1/2)

Serious question - By continuing to give Trump cover for all of the criminality, which now includes murder on the high seas and possibly piracy AND starting an illegal war, could certain members of SCOTUS be held liable for being accomplices for the crimes while Trump is immune?

Much as I am amused by the concept of FIFA-a perennially corrupt organization-both having and adhering to an ethics code I must admit, the thought of somebody stripping Trump of his participation trophy "peace prize" is particularly tantalizing

Okay for once I totally and completely empathize with President Trump.

This is the correct name now..

Trump has approved a 28-point plan to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. “The deeply troubling details now circulating show what Trump wants: to help the Russian president,” Phillips Payson O’Brien argues, “and to weaken Ukraine, perhaps fatally.”

"Trump’s 28-point plan plan calls on Kyiv to cede territory, accept limits on the the size of its military, and renounce ambitions to join NATO — all long-standing Kremlin demands." Canada stands with Ukraine against Russia and Putin's PIGmented proxy. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
