โ€œA country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."

A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

I shudder to think. What makes it worse, is there are people I know that I always considered smart, intelligent, thinking individuals that have fallen into that category. There is no talking to them, or reasoning with them.

Because he enrages the people they hate. As long as he pisses off the people and groups his supporters don't like, they will accept anything he does. It is both sad and frightening

He didn't release #Epstein files, he covered them up

He didn't stop any #war, he started new ones

He didn't bring #prices down, he pushed them up

He didn't bring back US #jobs, he killed them

He didn't deport dangerous criminals, he murdered citizens

FFS, why does anyone still support him?!?

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

Plus, the reason is not even the myriad of horrible vile things she did, its because she said Trump approved her ads.

Fuck ICE Barbie, but this is not accountability, it's deflection. She's still in the admin; another hardliner takes her place.

The irony is not lost. This is *exactly* like removing 'religious hardliners' Iran.

The common thread is, religious fanatics are dangerous and should not be in government.

Add in, they are still years away from standing up the new semiconductor mfg facilities that started under Biden, so even with raw materials, nothing to process them. Oh, and most of the fabrication machines are still manufactured off-shore. I use to work in that industry, its not a popup industry

Star Trek has always been about exploring the human condition while also having some fun, thought provoking, and weird sci-fi concepts.

Getting tired of media illiterate chuds and fake fans trying to convince you it was only about the cool spaceships.

Starting a war on 2 fronts with a 3rd (Gaza) and 3.5th (West Bank) front not entirely peaceful seems like a very bad strategic move. It also begs the question of how huge their munitions stockpiles must be to think they can sustain this. Nobody's production capabilities are endless...

๐Ÿ’ฏ Exactly! He (and others in this administration) remind me way too much of scenes from the A Team movie, but they're all on the bad guy's side.

A so-called "double tap" strike with "precision" munitions that blew up a school and killed dozens of girls and others counts as a "stunning aerial success"? I'm not sure "shock and awe" means what they think it means...
