Wow! In hindsight it’s now painfully obvious that a weekend morning show host, with a nebulous grasp on sobriety, wasn’t the best choice to lead the largest military in the world.

Wisdom however will always be a rare commodity. Unable to be purchased by, or via billionaires.

For Hegseth would be aspirational.

Let’s not forget that the military is conducting this march of folly without highly qualified service members removed in the GOP’s war on DEI.

Hegseth’s noxious theocratic prayer, an attempt to provide divine cover for his ineptitude, is a demonstration of the administration’s foolish belief that Americans will be distracted by invoking divine providence while waving a flag.

The founding fathers could not foresee a Congress that would be complicit in the executive’s theft. They believed that violation of the Emoluments Clause would be impeachment & criminal prosecution. A SC giving legal immunity for actions while in office leverages the executive toward legal tyranny.

Bold ass talk from a billionaire FLOTUS who came to America on a genius visa, ostensibly for the genius of removing her clothes and “dating” Epstein.

American service members with severe burns, brain trauma, and amputations due to this grotesque deluded spray tanned ghoul’s inability to understand long term consequences.

America’s survival and return to peaceful prosperity depends on voting every GOP member out of office.

You shouldn't ever believe anything axios prints. Like literally nothing. Don't even post it as if it's legitimate in any case no matter what they're talking about because they're not legitimate and they're not credible.

After a year of pressure, activists call off Target boycott Boycott leaders say they're ending their yearlong campaign against Target over scaled-back diversity initiatives.

No. This is not a thing.
No one called this off.

It’s a sad world where we have to deal with debilitating illnesses. It’s a sadder world where the GOP answer for America’s healthcare needs is GoFundMe accounts.

How has 47 been allowed to consistently over promise and woefully under deliver on every promise and never be held accountable by GOP voters?

Divest. Move your money. Complain and shame to everyone - and if you have an account there I repeat:

move your money

The GOP has always preferred to kill Muslims over providing healthcare to Americans.

Sensitive post but needed to be shown

Israeli settlers stole a Palestinian family's home in Jerusalem. Then they laughed as they threw the children's pet cats off a 5-storey roof - just for fun.

This is reality of a racist, genocidal society: Where Palestinians sufferings are a joke

The sad damn fact is that the GOP is very comfortable with citizens experiencing the reality of poverty.
