We might not be able to nail him on taxes, but the Epstein files still give me hope.

I want Obama to go on the attack full time. FFS, it was the Birthers that gave Trump his start in national politics.

That’s what happens when you put the president above the law. Of course only GOP presidents need to be above the law.

A scapegoat in the making.

“No stupid rules of engagement” and “no mercy”.

Biofuels sound pretty reasonable until you notice that 10,000 people per day starve to death. Plus it still produces CO2 and methane when burned.

No, the GOP is too complicit to stop it.

NSPM-7 in action. We are all enemies of the state if we criticize the administration.

Does anyone else think the Girl Scouts should not be selling deadly addicting drugs? This stuff is harder to quit than fentanyl.

Methinkest the man behind the curtain is V. Putin.

Remember when he said he trusted Russian spies more than our CIA?

Can you hang that on the DOJ building?

Ukraine has shown the world how to win a war. Against any sized adversary. Without war crimes. Just shear courage and intelligence.

It's so damn sad that they have to understand something as evil as war. Hopefully they'll know peace someday soon.

What Does Russia Have on Trump? Americans Deserve an Answer As Russia reportedly shares intelligence with Iran that could endanger American forces, the White House chooses to ease pressure on Moscow instead of confronting it.

I've been asking this question since 2016. The only feasible answer I can come up with is Kompromat. The FSB hookers in Moscow did their job very well.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Well in 2024 we elected a known racist, sexual predator, insurrectionist, felon. So don't count on voters to figure much out. Even if we add pedophile warmonger to the list we won't change many minds.

However the UBI & national healthcare options are really needed in the face of the AI job losses.

Just give the money to Trump. He'll take care of it.

Americans really do not understand how free they would feel if they had national healthcare and a basic universal income.

Celebrating a free Russia and not worrying about pedophiles.

One prisoner died of a tooth infection. The gulag is evil in every aspect.

One of the big reasons for the Iran war is that it will keep the support of Israel in the spotlight. It's a wedge issue for the Dems and the GOP needs to exploit it if it wants to have any chance of staying in power after November.
