Trump is like the Sun King Louis 14 of France. A madman consumed by gold and mirrors. And a Madman today

Christmas Day address by King Charles made me so homesick for a leader. As I wish y’all a Merry Christmas and Holiday please take care to love your family and friends.

Trump has made more money in this year as President- est. 1 billion, than his entire business career as a failed developer

Does anyone feel weird about the commercials from Saudi Arabia- the PIF stuff that state that because they give so much to the US for development that they want us to reciprocate with making chips and products in “the kingdom” its “the Kingdom” that freaks me out.

When the midterms turf out the Congress, we need ti change the Pardon rules. No Kings!

Where does the money received from Tariffs end up? Treasury? so how can we see the actual amounts? And from what countries?

Today. And, I'm told, will be on C-SPAN.

No President should have the power of a King!

If the Dems control the House someone should advance a bill to remove pardons from the President.

If North Carolina enacts this new map, it will be sued. I don't bluff and I usually win.

The russian army struck a kindergarten in Kharkiv. One person was killed and 7 others were injured. As of now, all children have been evacuated from the kindergarten. Help protect Ukrainians from russian terror. u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-ni...

Cockroaches! Jamie Diamond is right on… we have a cockroach economy and I suggest a cockroach country. So let’s kill the bugs.

Some very good, very damning reporting from Politico.

Pentagon Press Corps is refusing to accept the policy. About time the journalists step up and step out to protect the public.

Canadian Thanksgiving today. I lived there for 14 years and often wonder if I should return. Maybe if Canada took the USA as its 11th Province, it might work out better for us all.

I suspect there is much more to this story. “We further welcome today’s signing of the letter of acceptance establishing a Qatar Emiri Air Force facility at Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho,” Why? To sell more jets?

Chicago PD: arrest these motherfuckers threatening civilians. Put them in jail. Let the courts sort it out

Three things: 1.Trump owns the government shutdown. 2. Republicans did it at his behest, to give him a big distraction. 3. Release the Epstein files.

White House Deputy Press Secretary seen here posting data showing how much more prevalent right wing domestic terrorism is than left wing domestic terrorism... while thinking she's showing the reverse. Apparently she can only read headlines, but not the actual graph with the data.

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

“…[I]f discord is going to rule the world, with each guy at the next guy’s throat, all harmony gone—why the only thing…to do…is to make that harmony inside…while the snarling world gets pulverized. —Mezz Mezzrow, “Really the Blues,” 1946

We need to build a new opposition movement. In this video, I lay out the challenge ahead and what I think we need to do to make it happen. Please watch, comment, and share. youtu.be/_GUgnpAYMCc

Now we see Trump buying ownership in Intel and offering Tik Tok to buddies while Jared completes a joint deal with the Saudi Wealth fund to buy Electronic Arts. Like Putin, Trump consolidating power by building an Oligarch network for power control and riches.

Trump’s Oligarchs. It started with the Presidential Inauguration where many of the Tech Bros were brought to attend: Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, Shou Zi Chew, Sam Altman, etc. Then gifts and deals for the Orange Man.

So...this week I was inducted into the Georgia Writer's Hall of Fame. I love that my home state of Georgia honors writers in this way. And I love that this year, when coverage of everything from food safety to vaccines to climate change matters so much, they picked a science writer!

Trump’s quick “yes” to green lighting NATO’s right to shoot down Russian drones and jets will put the EU and all NATO in the leadership role of the Ukraine war. Will they respond?

Why can’t the EU and Countries that border Russia engage in taking down drones, missiles and planes when they enter their airspace? It doesn’t have to be a NATO defense and leaving Trump out may be a good way to make him commit.

That restriction used to be ONE AM, ONE FM, ONE TV station, and ONE newspaper in any market. Now they can own 49.9 percent of all of them. This goes back to the 90s.
