President Trump burns billions each week on his unauthorized war across the globe.

Meanwhile, folks back home face impossible prices for gas, groceries, and health care.

The disconnect is hard to ignore.

So now the Regime wants to lock up homeless veterans because they are homeless.
Many are homeless because they don't trust the government. This will cause veterans to lash out against the officials who try to lock up these veterans.

Farage forgets which country he aims to govern In domestic and foreign policy, the British right’s vulnerability is its America-worship

Farage keeps repeating Donald Trump's talking points. But Trump is extremely unpopular in the UK (-65 approval rating).

We don't want Trump-style politics here.

Hate to tell you...

The American voters are who fucked us over.

Trump and the Republicans are reaping in their stupidity and the social engineering that got them to that level of stupidity.

β€˜They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

Trying to use less plastic?

Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.

β€œI think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. β€œIt was such a shock."

🎩 Living in America, is exhausting

Hustle culture, is dead we are done

The juice, isn’t worth the squeeze

The game is rigged, so stop playing

We, need a national general strike! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

If we don’t do this now, then we have no future, it’s only going to get worse!

SHUT THIS WHOLE COUNTRY DOWN!

But it isn’t just Trump, they are all there in the slime pit with him, egging him on, laying hands on him and praying over him. Clear the swamp? He’s turned the US into one big filthy swamp and anyone failing in their duty to rid their once proud country of them all is complicit in child rape.

When the President of the United States views "We the People" as a threat to his power, he has abdicated his sworn duty to serve, protect, and defend the Constitution, and must be immediately removed from office.
