Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but Iβm still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

So we're all smarter than the Bank of America securities head of US Equity and Quantitative Strategy?

What worries me is that I am not hearing enough talk about the Epsteins files.
This is an escalation by DHS.
Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at OβHare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.
Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.
The leaders of our armed forces are fighting an illegal war and have broken their oath to the constitution.
They have engaged in a war that cannot be won. It was all started by a criminal president. Now our very survival is threatened. Our sons and daughters will die. Our future in a madmans hands.
Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.

NBCβs Richard Engel: βThe White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commandersβ¦ they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think itβs a joke and put out material like this.β
This is predictable
Costco is now demanding that Trump pay them back for his tariffs so they can refund all of their customers.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and weβre doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Slyngstad always gets it rightβ¦
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
A reflection of the current administration's disregard for humanity, and the frailty of life. Brilliant. :(

More importantly,with all due respect to another GOP liar...
.... what will it cost for Trump and his cult leaders to continue to destroy America,and by default,the world in which we live?
The American public overwhelmingly opposes Trump and Israel's war on Iran.
Among IR scholars, the opposition is even stronger:
86% oppose, of which 70% expressing strong opposition.
Only 10 % support the attack on Iran.

It would be nice to deport him & his family since he has done it to so many people including people who have been born in this country.
Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.
We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.
This is your general periodic reminder that Congressional Republicans could stop this (gestures at everything) any time. Seriously, any time. In fact, it's their job to check the president. They're shirking their duties.

Part of my disgust and disdain for so many people in this country is that that they are so easily duped. All that fuck has to do is call some egregious bill the βSAVE AMERICAβ act and the stupids rush to vote against their own interests, while accusing us of not wanting to βsave Americaβ.
