Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

Looking forward to finding out why this administration has started this war

In the last 14 months of Biden's term, 1,740,000 total jobs were created. In the first 14 months of Trump's current term, 150,000 jobs were created. That's a ratio of 11.6 to 1 ...

The idea that "Republicans do better on the economy" is and has always been BS.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didn’t back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

Very nice. I’ve been riding Zwift since November and rode outside last weekend. It almost killed me and I only rode 24 miles. But yep, felt good to get outside

Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.

Gas prices skyrocketing.

Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.

Another war in the Middle East.

Are we great again yet?

One incredible point that the brothers brought out this morning.

The Iran War is like COVID in that it is just another Trump mess. COVID first came up in 2020 and Trump said it would be gone in weeks.

This war is a CLUSTER and we have 2 1/2 years of this crap. www.meidasplus.com/p/meidastouc...

I'm in Texas. Can confirm. About a week ago, I filled my car up and gas was $2.85. I saw it was $3.15 Wednesday. It is going up fast!

Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.

ICE detain U.S. Army veteranβ€”a 50 year old woman with major health issues.

20 plus armed agents stormed this residential neighborhood to arrest her at gunpoint.

Her crime? Kate just took part in a peaceful protestβ€”evidently her 5 foot tall stature intimidated these agents.

ICE cannot be reformer. DHS was poison from the beginning.

Abolish ICE
Dismantle DHS.
Prosecute every person who violated the law or abused the public trust.

People in urban areas like Dallas, Houston, and Austin have never really like him that much. But he has a huge following in East and West Texas where it is more rural. School vouchers pissed a lot of people off in rural areas. He could be in for a tough year. We'll see more later.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.
