Even if Trump’s weird obsessive lies about wind farms were true, how would abandoning energy projects already under construction be justified? I’m fully aware this admin couldn’t care less about justifying their policies. This is a thought exercise not a question.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

mind-boggling to me that i still have yet to see a single democrat utter the phrase “every republican president of your lifetime has destroyed the economy and started a war”

“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” - Hannah Arendt

It’s weird how when workers were unionized and earned more money, and the extreme wealthy were taxed at extremely high rates, society was considered at its best by Republicans. The irony is that those same Republicans are the very ones who have been working to destroy these characteristics.

Kinda throws a wet blanket on his whole ‘Somalian’ Feeding Our Future outrage that happened in Minnesota. I guess Aimee Block’s main issue was not coming up with the bread to purchase a pardon.

Let them eat each other. Witnessing this may be the only pleasure the rest of us will receive.

“Dueling is still a thing” is the kind of argument you expect to hear in the mall sword shop, not on the floor of a US Congress hearing.

How about we go ahead and investigate the lil’Nazi anyway?

Well, well, well…

Yeee.

Overwhelming political rage is my new AU-RA! IG: @devandaily

So Mikey J told the guy who reads passed notes aloud in meetings, the guy who has an infamously filterless mouth, who doesn’t think anything past the tip of his nose is real, and then thought he was what? Was he going to abracadabra into a normal human with tact & decorum? 😂🤣🤪🤣😂🤪

I’m beginning to think this Trump guy ain’t the sharpest bulb in the crayon shed.

What did the Mafia, Genghis Khan, and the Robber Barons have in common? Despite their greed and megalomaniacal tendencies, they invested in the community - even if selectively. These guys here are new breed of parasites fighting to rule over the landfill they’ve built their empires on top of.

Why would any country not be building nukes at this point? 1/

This sabatoge by the Trump administration was overturned 2 months ago. In other words, Trump's administration shut down a $1.5B project that was *2 months away* from providing power to the grid - out of spite.

They did ‘many actions to mitigate that price rise’ except not starting a war with a country who clearly has massive leverage over oil supply. They forgot to do that action. And herein lies the greatest mistake, and one they continue to make - they are incapable of leaving well enough alone.

At least 20 schools and 10 hospitals have reportedly been damaged in Iran, disrupting children’s access to education and critical health services. Approximately 180 children have reportedly been killed and many more injured.

You know…I’m starting to think this Trump guy is not very smart.

No comment.

If you’re not following @chrismurphyct.bsky.social , the time is now. He’s been kicking ass keeping the people informed of the shit hitting the fan in the MidEast, and the reality of the weaponized incompetence of this administration. Thank you Senator. You’re a real one.

Found in the wild. Red box added by me. Due process for an 'illegal' is not like a thief getting a refund, it is like a thief getting due process, which they do. The analogy collapses on basic logic. The U.S. needs to eat more prunes, because shit ain't getting through to some people.

Anyone else feel like this isn't being discussed enough? It seems very open-ended at the moment, and I was only able to find two articles about it this morning.

It's so bizarre watching these grown, supposedly professional, people behave like they do around Trump. The groveling around the White House in oversized shoes, nervous laughter, clapping until their hands hurt - it’s a flea circus built to entertain an 80 year old child who regularly shits himself.

They’ll never just admit to being wrong. Never admit to not knowing what the fuck they’re talking about. Never admit that all the ‘hysteria’ and ‘overreacting’ by Democrats and anti-Trumpers wasn’t hysteria or overreacting after all.

Weaponized incompetence.

And breeds terrorism. Most people would be driven to extremism to some degree if someone blew up their elementary aged daughters because they needed a distraction from their pedophilia.

When diesel prices go up, all prices go up. Farms, trains, semis, chemical plants, paper mills, and on and on…all rely on diesel. The silver lining may be that massive supply disruption (the second in 6 years) could motivate the population to demand more sustainable alternatives.

I know I shouldn’t be surprised by these hacks, but JFC. Can someone in Congress please grow a pair of balls and rein in Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber before they set off nuclear winter?

Our politics are fundamentally corrupt. And our economy is rigged against working people because of this corruption.

1/ Austerity is the Republican’s way of undermining democracy, destroying faith in institutions, and setting the stage for their strongman authoritarian wet dreams.

Just when I thought I had enough of the internet 🤪

We are at war because Trump is a pedophile and Republicans don’t mind he’s a pedophile.

I’ve noticed one of the main challenges with climate change deniers is they unable to comprehend rates of change. This is obvious when you hear one say “Well the climate is always changing!” This is a failure of the public education system.

Crimes that LEOs can get away with: murder, theft, drugs. Crimes that millionaires & politicians can get away with: insider trading, voting fraud, espionage. Crimes billionaires & political elites can get away with: everything previously mentioned + rape, pedophilia, destroying the constitution.

That’s what the DeepStateSorosBorderInvasionists wants you to believe as they shove their AntifaShariaGreenNewDeal down our throats to accomplish the real goal of GlobalistDragQueenClimateLockdownism as described by the HunterLaptopVaccineMicrochipTyrannyplex. Anyone who knows anything knows that.

“And by savages who torture, rape, and murder, I mean anyone who doesn’t think like me. And by peaceable citizens, I mean only people that I like.”

This is a historic moment for the country! The first UN chair who has been in a porn shoot!

Gotta hand it to them, they are creative. If only they could use that creativity for something positive and productive, instead of destruction and greed. I guess that’s impossible at this level of moral rot.

Drugs. Every one of them are on fucking drugs.

‘The US president is rudderless and appears to be operating on whims to distract from allegations of child rape and collapsing economy’ - is the real headline.

Still not getting into Valhalla.
