Many people are saying that Cadet Bone Spurs is maybe the bravest "man" perhaps ever. Bigly.

Regressives are the epitome of short sighted.

Who would have thought? Anyone paying even a modicum of attention to how Ukraine is devastating Russian ground forces.

The word 'Hubris' leaps readily to mind.

MAGA is a cult where its doctrine is whatever capriciousness spews from the cult leader's addled brain at any given moment. It is all to be taken as gospel, even when the next sentence contradicts the preceding one.

"That kind of stuff."... murder innocent civilians, misappropriate the People's resources... you know, the stuff they were hired to do in order to selflessly Promote the General Welfare.

Well said, agreed wholeheartedly.

And one of my favorite expressions, along with 'good enough today is better than perfect tomorrow' 😊

Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy - Wikipedia

πŸ‘Amazon has been using advanced algorithms for > than a decade to entice us to act on impulse with a single click. It takes awareness and a conscious effort to change.

Everything changed for me when I watched this doc and did the "verify" research afterwards.

Indeed. Like choking the billionaire elite by deleting their apps and not using their products, e.g. Facebook, Twitter, their corporate media outlets, and, especially Amazon.

Do I really need that product on a shelf in a Chinese warehouse to be on my doorstep tomorrow? Imagine the ecological waste!

For elected Republican officials, correct.

The electorate is replete with Obama/Trump voters who continual to feel marginalized, for darn good reason.

The GOP itself just wants power and Trump is their means to it. They'd crawl over their own children and dead mothers to hold onto it.

What if it's both?

E.g. I, for one, have completely changed my consumer habits. I buy local and organic wherever possible and practicable, from local producers rather than big box stores.

It supports my local community, neighbors and friends, and minimizes the packaging/transport eco footprint.

It's amazing that there's more than enough tax payer money to blow $1 BN USD a day attacking Iran, but there's no money to help citizens the preemptive strike stranded. Or healthcare, or education, or infrastructure, or social supports...

Taxation without representation.

If I had it within my power to do so, believe me, I would.

IMHO, our species is in its adolescence and am hoping we survive it and grow up. A long way to go, particularly in countries like the US where selfishness is de cultural regeur.

Odd for a species that needs to work together to survive.

We on the left seem to insist that our politicians be in absolute lockstep with our individual beliefs. It's an Achilles heel for us, it's an incredibly precise personal litmus test. This is the very definition of intolerance. We have no "warts and all" largesse.

7 stages in the historical pattern of Empire Collapse:

Economic Exhaustion and Debt Spiral
Currency Debasement
Military Overextension
Extreme Inequality and Social Polarization
Decadence and Loss of Civic Duty
Loss of Political/Bureaucratic Competence
Diminishing Innovation and Productivity

U.S. total public debt as a percentage of GDP stands at approximately 122% to 124%.

When including total public and private debt, the ratio is much higher, over 720% of GDP in late 2025.

The United States national debt is approximately $38.93 trillion as of March 4, 2026.

Healthcare anyone?

Doesn't everybody? Even if "common ground" is letting the States decide, it's better than the national ban the GOP are clamoring for, no?

No candidate's going to meet everyone's definition of "perfect" on every single issue. The question is are we micro or macro voters?

I'm on the side of all of us who are forced to scrounge for scraps to feed , clothe, educate , and provide needed medical care for our kids and family because the elite are hoarding all the resources/money and giving themselves tax breaks.

I don't need AI and "virtue signalling" for that.

How unfortunate that you lash out with such venom and animus towards someone who is, ostensibly, on your side. It indicates an innate anger, resentment and bitterness in your heart, and for that I am truly sorry. πŸ™

I'm mindful of something I posted recently:
