He's only in it for the attention and to line his own greasy pockets, and makes Tricky Dick look like Honest Abe in comparison. This is exactly the type of journalism that is sorely needed these days, instead of the mindless 24 hour "news" channels. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpOE...

"By relentlessly telling the population that ‘two plus two equals five’, it helps determine who is willing to go along with ‘two plus two equals five’ and deny basic truths." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The IMF is bearish on the US economy. The Clown-in-Chief should stop blaming Powell - shooting the messenger won’t fix the mess he's made. The tariffs are a dead end, and letting the Orange Moron drive us off a cliff is doing lasting damage. The GOP needs to wake up! www.cnbc.com/2025/04/22/i...

Three months ago, the economy was booming - few dark clouds in sight. Then the Orange Loony threw his tariff tantrums and bashed Powell. Markets have tanked, but the Toddler-in-chief speeds into the abyss. Will the GOP ever grow a spine, or just watch the wreckage? finance.yahoo.com/news/live/st...

"... you don’t need to be a mental-health professional to see that something’s very seriously off with Trump". Obviously many Americans are completely blind to this. We need to prop up primary education in the US and teach critical thinking to prevent the election of another Hitl... I mean Trump.

All Democrats should’ve fought harder for everyone (progressive taxation, education, universal healthcare, labor rights, social safety net, etc.) - but it's tough when those who’d benefit most back the GOP, voting against their own interests and blocking the very policies that could lift them up.

This is how the world sees America now, just three months into the grip of the Orange Disease. It's terrifying how fast we're sliding toward pariah status. youtu.be/EIao2kkB7Gg

The Financial Illiterate-in-Chief is attacking one of the few remaining voices of reason. His tariffs are gutting the economy and draining our wallets, and as always, he attacks the truth instead of facing it. What a dipshit! edition.cnn.com/2025/04/17/e...

Abrego Garcia "... now languishes in a brutal Salvadoran prison - even though, in contrast to Trump, he has no criminal record. This is a challenge to our constitutional system, for the principal lawbreaking here appears to have been committed not by Abrego Garcia but by the Trump administration."

Welcome to American democracy, 2025. Spoiler: the police will be Trump’s hammer for driving the nail of fascism into the heart of American freedom. youtu.be/MY1MPirQTk8

Words of wisdom to start the week.

She saw clearly that "the greatest danger of tyranny is of course from the executive." One day - hopefully soon - we’ll be wise enough to teach Hannah Arendt’s work in every high school across the US. Maybe then we won’t stumble into fascism again thinking we’re just being 'patriotic.'

The current erosion of democratic institutions and reckless handover of economic control to a conman is steering the United States onto the path of becoming a banana republic. youtu.be/3xz7BGAJYhg

An insightful interview with the knowledgeable Professor Scott Lucas: "At this point Trump's legacy is a wannabe bully trying to rip apart the international system and the US system to get personal profit.... Undone by the fact that he is an economic moron." youtu.be/6D2Rzo8JDMY

One Trump, Vance, and Johnson are dragging the US into chaos, and the world with it. The GOP shows open contempt for law, truth, and democracy. It's time for the press to stop playing nice and call it what it is. Expose the rot. The world is watching - and it won't forget.

When it comes to history, Americans don’t just forget - they actively unlearn.

Hopefully, this is the last time we entrust the presidency to a demented narcissistic sociopath. mindsitenews.org/2025/04/01/s...

Every nation gets the government it deserves - The Canadians get smart and we get the most stupid and malevolent narcissistic of all. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Pam Bondi is unable to distinguish between serving the interests of America and serving the interests of Orange McDonald. Endorsing the deportation of an innocent person without due process is authoritarianism and a betrayal of American values. She belongs in jail. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Much like his orange friend in the White House, Elon Musk has built his name and his fortune on cons and lies. His billions from Tesla are based on government loans, tax credits, subsidies, and incentives from the very same system that he now seeks to dismantle. This article is well worth the read.

We could have had an intelligent, compassionate, grounded, and level-headed president. Instead, we chose an ignorant, self-serving, deranged clown. This line echoes in my mind: "For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'It might have been.'" www.thebulwark.com/p/the-americ...

Everything Trump says is a lie, whether out of ignorance, deliberate manipulation, or detachment from reality. The claim that the EU imposes a 39% tariff on US goods is bullshit - The average rate is in fact closer to 3%. His lies is ruining everything! paulkrugman.substack.com/p/trump-goes...

The Trump tax is now in effect, yet another move in the Orange Fuhrer's revenge against America and the world. Expect higher inflation and slower growth. This is what we get for electing a demented clown as president, and filling Congress with his loyal henchmen. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The most important message in these challenging times. Please share with everyone you can.

Trump on the campaign trail: "Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods. Truth: The only things sinking faster than stock prices are US democracy and our standing in the world. finance.yahoo.com/news/live/st...

This may be the best opportunity so far for Californians to get universal healthcare, tuition-free college, paid parental leave, and a fair minimum wage. www.euronews.com/2025/02/12/w...

Just watched Sen. Markwayne Mullin on Meet the Press. He's the embodiment of everything broken in today's GOP - every sentence was 'Trump says…', 'Trump plans…', 'We have a strong leader…'. Not a single independent thought. Just blind, mindless loyalty. A complete sycophant.

At record speed, all voices of thought and reasoning are being forced out of the current administration, leaving us only with lies and misinformation. The question is: when this shitshow ends, how long will it take to rebuild a government grounded in merit and integrity? www.npr.org/sections/sho...

The brutal truth about this administration and the stupid tariffs is that there are no winners except for the president's cronies. For the rest of us - people and businesses alike - it's only a matter of who will lose more. Inflation isn’t a risk - it’s a guarantee. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-R8...

Saying out loud what everyone we're all thinking right now.

Felon Musk’s axe keeps swinging. Meanwhile, our ex-junkie HHS Secretary wants viruses to "run through the flock" and is waging war on mRNA - say goodbye to breakthroughs in cancer treatment and infectious disease prevention. We need more mental care, for our leaders! www.cbsnews.com/news/job-cut...

Agent Orange has stubbornly clung to his 1980s-era tariff views, incapable of evolving despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Tariffs are generally a failed idea, discredited by serious economists - but he's doubling down, and we’re the ones paying the price. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I'm sure the Democratic leadership will do a great job of letting the MAGA morons get away with their stupidity. It's become their trademark.

Professor Timothy Snyder is moving to Canada: "So if you want to rip the heart out of a democracy directly, if you want to go right at it and kill it, what you do is you go after the facts." Sounds familiar? It's not a bug, it's a feature of the Republican party to destroy the American democracy.

Had this car in front of me today - the license plate makes it very easy to identify the most brainwashed driver on the road.

It’s reassuring to have a Secretary of Defense who genuinely prioritizes transparency.

I'm trying to imagine what the U.S. would be like now if we had a leader who respected the Constitution, valued law, order, decency and democracy, grasped elementary economics, supported education and research, and wasn’t driven by a vendetta against his own country and people. #ElbowsUp

The Democrats have a range of stand-out politicians who understand everyday issues – and are ready for the fight. For the sake of our country and democracy, the party establishment (Schumer, Jeffries, Durbin) need to step aside for the likes of Bernie, AOC, Jasmine Crockett and Pete Buttigieg.

Great outline of Trump’s revenge tour against America: "It is almost as if he wants to inflict pain not just on a specific set of individuals but on the entire nation as well." The MAGA people are like abuse victims with Stockholm syndrome - defending and embracing the very person who harms them.

The election of 2024 will go down in history as the one where xenophobia brought down the US.

Psychologist and writer Mary L. Trump, also Donald's niece, offers this assessment of his character: "Donald today is much as he was at three years old - incapable of growth, learning, or evolution; unable to regulate his emotions, moderate his responses, or absorb and synthesize information."

Too good to go unnoticed.

Once again, the Russian orange asset delivers for his master. The so-called most powerful man in the world walks away with nothing - no concessions, no leverage - while Putin dictates all the terms. Another triumphant day for the Kremlin. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I never thought that I would ever write this, but today's words of wisdom come from conservative Republican former Speaker of the House: "Trump's not a conservative. He's an authoritarian narcissist." youtube.com/shorts/5oMHz...

Traitor JD Vance should not be allowed anywhere in the US - He should move to Russia with his best friends Peter Thiel (who bankrolled his Senate seat with $15 mill.) and Curtis Yarvin, and they can enjoy living in a corrupt authoritarian society just like the one they want to transform the US into.

As Trump and his cronies tear the US apart at breakneck speed, former allies are rapidly forging new alliances - this time, without Washington. No nation can depend on the US anymore, except for Russia. youtu.be/ReT2nbYNdBU

The difference between Trump I and II is that this time, the forces of evil have had time to collude and tilt the game in their favor.
