If I was JD Vance I would be worried - Pope Leo has been very strong speaking out against the hate Vance preaches everyday about immigrants and others he has decided are lesser. I can’t see how Vance considers himself a good Catholic when he repeatly violates Christ’s basic teachings.

Those who won’t call out the Trump administration for its vile actions, are just accomplices. They should just know when the Trump mafia organization come for them, no one will stand up for them. No one will notice.

Tim does outrage for the rest of us. Better than the milquetoast commenters who join in the gaslighting..

Trump hasn’t followed up on any of his promises - he believes his cult doesn’t care - they will vote for him no matter what. We’ll see. He has no understand why the public looks at his policies and sees failure to deliver. They don’t want promises. You can’t feed your family w/Trump’s lies

🥰🥰🥰

And she leaves behind a child who no longer will grow up with any parents. May God bless her family. This event must be crucifying.

Yeah. I guess though the new thing for politicians is to use swear words for emphasis. It still is unusual enough to hear, but I hope it doesn’t become f—ing this, f-ing that. The English language is beautiful and doesn’t to be filthy to make strong points. Use a word enough and it become Vapid

Good commercial - we need some more tough minded lawyers in Congress to call out al the illegal behavior that is over helming our democracy

LOSERS! Not the best America produced.

So what’s on your bingo card - which Latin American country are we going to invade next? Or African? Trump seems to believe that grabbing the resources of other countries is allowable.

You must ask what is so bad in the Epstein files that Trump feels he needs to disrupt the entire world order to hide it? Sounds like treasonous behavior to me.

I think it is ridiculous to take over another country when the administration has no clue how to run the one it was elected to serve. We experience nothing but chaos to coverup all the things they have done which are blowing up as we wait for the better country he promised.

I am so horrified by Trump’s military action against Venezuela. It’s is beyond wrong. The post WWII world was a definite rejection of big countries doing what they want with smaller countries. Goodbye Ukraine and Taiwan, and any other small country. Watch for flight to safe assers

Trump is a tin-pot dictator

The US market was worst performing market in the world in 2025 - something you’d never guess given the hype pushed by Wall Street.

May everyone’s new year be bright! Let’s sweep the ship of fools in Congress out to sea. Power to the people !

They dropped Jack Smith’s testimony to Congress today - all 8 hours. Pleased to hear he strongly felt that if he had been able to bring Trump to trail he could have gotten convictions. They had a huge number of witnesses - it is so sad that Trump was able to run the clock out. Hurray for Jack!

I can’t help but believe that China’s woes won’t impact the rest of the world in 2026. China's industrial profits tumble at fastest pace in over a year - www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

New statement from some of the Epstein survivors: "It is alarming that the United States Department of Justice, the very agency tasked with upholding the law, has violated the law, both by withholding massive quantities of documents, and by failing to redact survivor identities."

We do not have a President - we have a man obsessed with forcing his tacky tastes on the American people. There is going to be one hell of a demolition sale when he is gone - I guess some cult member will scavenge like the people who took away seats when the old Yankee stadium was demolished

I wonder if Musk will ever be prosecuted for the amount of personal information of Americans and other gov’t data he stole during his reign as head of DOGE. Which one has to presume he has used for the creation of his AI model. Such a scam. All his businesses freeload on US taxpayers

For a good chuckle - the alt Sisters song from White Christmas - my sisters and I used to torture each other and our relatives with this song -.we were SUCH devoted sisters youtube.com/watch?v=DDyy...

Joy to the world!

Anti-vaxxers and RFK are a threat to the lives of children. Adults are told to get a pertussis booster before a family member has a baby. It is very traumatic illness for both child and parents. Letting the science deniers have the high ground has been a huge mistake. How many will die?

From my family to yours, Have a joyous Yule. And remember, things can get better if we keep the faith in each other!

Excellent article on PE, with telling stats- it outperformed equity up to 2019 - since then? No wonder they want access to retail investors www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/b...

I can’t get over how unChristmasy it feels in all the stores - no decorations of note, sale signs everywhere, no new must have gifts. As a child I loved the big department store windows and the use of garlands and Christmas lights. And holiday music. I had to search for ornament hooks for my tree

Good luck!

Like Watergate, in the Jeffery Epstein case, the coverup is going to cause heads to roll. Why people sacrifice their careers to protect pedophiles is beyond me.

Wage growth has slowed while inflation is persistent

Feminism has given women a chance to choose the type of life they want to live. The premise of this is so stupid.

They need to update it with more recent proof of incipient dementia.

Well they are in contempt of Congress now!

When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.

Trump killed any chance of getting the Novell Peace Prize with his truly terrible ugly rant about the murder of the Reiners. He must be well along with frontal dementia by the way he lashes out in the most angry ways. Everyone screamed about Biden. Trump is far worse that Biden ever was.

And they told Trump to blow off. I understand that Mike Pence was aggressively advocating against doing what Trump wanted. That must really burn Trump!

So stupid - what kind of mental condition were those men in after being blown up. They likely just only were thinking about surviving!

I think DOGE and Musk already stole our private information. That’s the scandal of DOGE that no one talks about

Awful and so little outrage against it. Love letter to Putin

An exciting visit to ER yesterday because of abdominal pain - ruled out the likely suspects and sent home with instruction. I sat w/husband among 80+ yrs olds mostly in wheelchairs accompanied by caregivers(been there done that), a few with post op problems, and a number of what were apparently2

Jail Hegseth for war crimes! Idiot!

How about reframing DEI as ED -for excellence and diversity. There is no argument against the proposition that diverse group make better decisions. The problem is that some want litmus tests for what qualifies as excellence and diversity. Diversity does not mean standards of excellence are watered

The Trump appointees repeat fantasies to please Trump - he does not need or want to hear the truth. These people are stupid, venial, or hypocrites - or all three

But any cut is not going to revive earnings, is not going to stop AI from spending far too much on capex, and certainly is not going to push inflation down.

How people feel has more to do about how people vote

And none of the members of Congress have any clue what the “real” definition of socialism. There are many versions of how socialism has been applied. It is no wonder that young people feel an affinity to “socialism” without having a clear idea of what it is. They are rejecting America’s cruel 2)

My little man Louie, curled up on his favorite throw on his favorite chair on a chilly Friday afternoon in VT. Hoping that we put on the gas fireplace soon to make things really cosy!

Excellent

Trump is disintegrating-,but no one around him is wiling to confront this face because they are all riding his coattails to get rich by grift. I hope most of these usual people will go to jail and be forced to disgorge profits. I bet most are keeping info so they have something to offer 4 plea deal
