Ah, I see we are in the "finding someone to throw under the bus" portion of Trump's War.

Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

"Stop talking about mass deportations" ? ? ? Too late to try and stuff that cat back into the bag. Note they didn't say anything about stopping the mass kidnappings/traffickings -- I guess they just don't want people to know they are happening. Too late for that too.

Great response. We need to see more people -- whoever and wherever they are -- speaking out like this and turning the narrative back to the REAL issues, rather than these fake culture war dog-whistles.

All good points.

Every time one of these talking heads tosses out their transgender lies they need to be called out. - Gender-affirming surgeries for children under 18 are virtually non-existent - When done, surgeries are typically limited to chest surgeries - 97% of chest surgeries were on CISGENDER MALES.

Just an FYI in case you are a Grammarly user or have been thinking about being one: When called out for using author identities without permission the company's response was just -- "well then, it's up to you to opt-out" (paraphrasing here). Sounds like a good reason never to use Grammarly.

Very true -- the current administration is quite definitely focused on the wrong 1%. "Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare. Undocumented people aren't defunding our schools. It's the billionaires and their puppet politicians."

Just let that sink in. "between 87 and 104 crew members were killed" and the president of the United States laughed and said it was "more fun" to sink ships than capture them. The complete and utter lack of humanity is appalling. And the fact that he is still in office is even more appalling.

This should end his career. But it won’t—not in 2026. Even so—call, complain, speak up, push back. I wish that Anti-Muslim bigots didn’t belong here.

Right? They sure had no trouble hammering Biden (who was actually getting things done for the benefit of the country), but for this petty, unhinged liar they are suddenly deaf and mute.

Don’t Believe One Word From this President….

So basically, ICE kidnapped and then trafficked a U.S. Citizen. Even with proof that she was a U.S. Citizen. And then apparently they did some lying too. Those "agents" need to be fired, arrested, and convicted.

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

Trump says he won’t sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports. Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.

Seems like a pretty fair assessment.

Depravity of this sort is just unfathomable. Also -- all of these individuals need to be fired, arrested, and jailed; they are a clear and present danger to society.

Do House Republican's EVER work?

The Trump's standing to benefit by decisions made by Trump?" What. A. Big. Surprise. Not. And the grift goes on and on and on . . . .

"Trump forced into humiliating reversal" -- serves him right. That's what happens when you go after things with a chainsaw instead of making logical, reasoned decisions. Of course, the American public is, again, who is paying the price for all of this.

She's kidding, right? If the "BOFA Securities Head of US Equity & Quantitative Strategy" was so clueless to believe that this administration was going to do anything other than EXACTLY what it IS doing, then she (and her company) are in the wrong business.

The Republicans; all those in positions of power who have given-in to Trump's "blackmail" or have refused to assert their constitutional authority; and all those who voted for this monstrosity of an Administration: You all own this . . . . and everyone else is paying the price.

Vote. Protest. Run for office. Support new candidates. Phonebank. Write/call your representatives. Do what you can to stop the harm this Administration is causing to the U.S., democracy, and the world.

This kind of says it all: "Also worth noting: Obama's name doesn't appear in the Epstein tapes."

- "17 different explanations" for Trump's War in Iran. - Gas prices skyrocketing. -The new Iran regime still looks exactly like the old one. - U.S. military killed. Really, Russia looks like the only one that is winning (and DT apparently doesn't care that they are helping Iran). ? ? ? ?

In this case, shouldn't Bondi be under arrest for violating the law that was passed to release the files? I'm pretty sure anyone else who "decides" they don't need to comply with a law certainly would be.

Further confirmation of what Trump keeps denying and what Hegseth won't admit to. It was the U.S. that struck that girls’ school.

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion. That's $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

And now for something completely different -- has anyone encountered these? They're intended to eliminate plastic jugs, but with the cost per-load double of regular detergent and the lack of flexibility in how much detergent you want to use per wash, feels like this is just for Tide's profit.

I'll take "False Narratives" for $100 Alex.

So . . . Just to be clear, he’s saying he’s just fine with another country taking actions that will cause the death of U.S. military and destruction of U.S. assets? WTAF?

This is what all big companies should be doing.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

No matter how you slice it, consumers get screwed over and over and over. The money should come directly out of DT’s own pockets, since the illegal actions were his.

Really insane that this is the case.

Worth reading. “. . . In the end, we lose our humanity when we are thrilled by the destructive power of our military. We become addicted to the “spectacle” of explosions. And the price of this habit is almost unnoticeable, as we become desensitized to the true costs of war.”

Indonesia suspends its participation in Board of Peace “Indonesian FM Sugiono said the decision to suspend participation was taken because of the latest military escalation in the region, which has directly affected the foreign policy priorities of countries involved in the initiative”

Instead of spending $50 billion to bankroll Trump’s criminal war on Iran, we could: -Extend ACA subsidies for one year -Restore SNAP benefits for 2.4 million people -And ensure Medicaid coverage for nearly 2 million people It’s not about what we can afford. It’s about priorities.

Certainly sounds like the company should be held accountable for their lack of appropriate action during the initial assault, among other things. Will be interesting to see how this proceeds.

He's like the toddler in little league playing in the outfield that is picking flowers and facing the complete other way while the game is on.

And where EXACTLY do the Florida "leaders" think the lost tax revenue will come from? "FL consistently receives more in federal funding than its residents pay in federal taxes (a "net receiver" state). In 2021, it ranked among the top states for total federal aid received ($58.8 billion)

Like clockwork.

Reposting for visibility.

Seems less than ideal.

Wow did something happen in the US in January 2025?

Imagine what would happen if these folks got an electric shock (or a bucket of Nickelodeon green slimed dumped over their heads) every time they lied? Because it is, you can't trust a single word any of these folks say.

Let that sink in -- 97% of the surgeries trans-haters are so up in arms about are for CIS BOYS having breast reduction surgeries. So, yet again, MAGA and their ilk have stirred up hate and relentless legislation against a virtually non-existent issue.

Posting for visibility -- though I know facts are unlikely to change the unsubstantiated options of those haters working so hard to legislate transgender folks out of existence.

This passage of Cosmos came to mind while I was watching Pete Hegseth strut across the stage at the Pentagon yesterday.

A DOJ source says FBI agents found the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child to be credible: "They would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying."
