Notice the pattern? Putin blames Ukraine for the war Russia started. Trump blames Iran for the war the U.S. started.

Delusion. Noun.
1. (psychology) an erroneous belief that is held in the face of evidence to the contrary.

This is easily the best Jon Stewart segment in years.

2020 Academy of American Poets Prize On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs by Renée Nicole Macklin

Trump may characterize Good's killing as collateral damage—or even *deserved*, but we know better. We've seen it. Masked men covered in arsenals blasting bullets and glass into the face of a poet.

Why should anyone expect the US, under the Trump regime, to do anything for "the benefit of the Venezuelan people" when it cannot do anything for the benefit of its own people?

Wait—these people are anti-fascism now? Doesn't that align them with Antifa?? 🤪

Greenland's gonna need a new name.

The bottom line—Trump is attempting to purchase 2026 midterm votes.

"…someone needs to speak up"? As if pipe bombs are protected by the 1st Amendment??

Nice work, MAGA! 😜

When Fox News moves into the White House…

Be kind to wild animals. And keep your cats inside.

I imagine the white house is hard at work on this—figuring out ways to blame this on China or Biden.

Our president calls people pigs, tells them they have hate in their hearts. Psychologists call this transference—projections of inner feelings onto others.

Pity the poor man for the internal madness he must endure, but beware—he is dangerous.

Single no-payer.

"Immediately" is the key word here. Demand a public explanation before they compose their talking point memos.

The Democratic Party took a big hit when Biden tried to hold on for too long. But they nearly won anyway, only losing by 1½%. Support a new generation of honest, pragmatic people with clear understandings of real problems and solutions and we'll be fine. The times they are a'changin'.

Pity the poor billionaire. 🤪

Bubbles do not burst only in the internet and the financial sector. Bubbles can burst in the public health system and any number of other modern systems dependent on good governance.

Yet in the mind of our new Christian nation, God saved Trump so he could spread crap all over half his citizens. God works in mysterious ways. 😏

Trump's GOP is the party of Hate. Trump is no longer shy about professing hatred toward half his citizens.

Let us be resolved to counter hatred with best attitudes, best efforts.

GOP is not responsible for anything, though they own the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, as well as the CEOs and levers of the media.

"Blame, blame, blame…" is all they do.

Let's not attack the vicious Kingdom for its avarice and cruelty, but for the emptiness of its goals.

We should be demanding answers to questions like: What will we be left with once you make the world "right"? What's your vision? Do you have a vision?

"Over and over in the butterfly we see the idea of transcendence. In the forest we see not the inert but the aspiring. In water that departs forever and forever returns, we experience eternity." ~ Mary Oliver

Ridiculing the quality of AI at this point is like someone, back in the day, ridiculing personal computers based on the Commodore 64.

AI is likely to soon become extremely convincing, and this is its real danger.

"It is pseudoscience masquerading as sound forensics, they say. Some even liken the test to witch trials, where courts decided if a woman was a witch based on whether she floated or sank."

First they destroy the public workforce, then they destroy the centers of learning, of research, of art. Then they come for the press, the entertainment industry. Then anyone who does not wear the red hat. All the while destroying millions of innocent lives as collateral damage.

To what end?

I agree 100% with your main point, but not with your characterization of the 72 million.

We can win the national debate by focusing on truth and solutions. When we get drawn into denigration we are mostly surrendering to their game.

Those who cannot compromise, cannot cooperate, even for those they are meant to serve, serve no one.
