Maybe you need to speak to your colleagues who are considering voting for the extension, which many of us will see as betrayal. No more funds for war.

But Jesus has to promise to kill all their enemies.

Apparently, our historical consciousness doesn’t extend beyond breakfast.

Apparently, USA is now a client state of Israel and Saudi Arabia.

One might say “demonic.”

look what outlet she's talking to ffs

That was a lot easier to accept before I started on social security.

So, took away Trump’s emotional support tariffs, huh? Thoughts and prayers for whoever has to absorb that today.

That would be the hope.

Our future is being stolen from us by mafia government.

Increasingly looks like USA is not able to be saved unless it's a death and resurrection scenario. The old order has become too corrupt. If this moment comes to an end (and it will), return to status quo political order will be monumental failure to create more just society.

Sure things will go differently in Cameron in March. Could be Duke/Arizona final in April.

How’d that work out for you? Holding all my Duke friends to the light today.

There's a playbook being followed globally.

"Our girl Tulsi."

“Hill Street Blues” already covered that angle.

Those apple fritters, though, are addictive. Best of birthdays.

I believe it will be an all out assault on voting rights (look at GA FBI raid yesterday). Having never accused of optimism, I'm still counting on elections happening with heavy oppression of vote and dems winning at least the House. If they get too heavy-handed, they've overplayed their hand.

She who sups with the devil best have a long spoon.

At this point best way to escape it is if Dems take House/Senate in Nov (and this is going to be a street fight). Perhaps then some accountability comes back, but for now, we're living in states of lawlessness mitigated somewhat by brave judges who are trying to hold the line.

I think about this a lot. When you have citizens who have been shaped to hate their fellow citizens where does the space exist for repair of society? Hard to see how this isn't the trajectory now. Economic collapse might be one way to hold things together, but there's a poison in the body politic.

"in theater" gives the game away. The American people are the enemy. Those who resist their worldview are the enemy. Those who shelter the vulnerable, care for their neighbor are the enemy. War rhetoric intended to show us we are in danger of being "in theater."

I know this is what Putin wants, but, would a split of USA be such a bad thing? The abusers of power in control will oppress us as much as they can. Is this the way we're meant to live? There is nothing sacred about nation-states. They come, they go. Perhaps it's time for that national divorce.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

This Democratic Party may not be up to the moment.

Thanks, Doug. Dark days indeed.

This Noem presser is nothing but a lie. USA is under attack by its own government.

I hope the Supremes take away his emotional support tariffs. Really, really hope they take the gun out of his hands.

For 8 years I've argued that Trump is going to destroy GOP or USA, but both could not survive him intact. I may have greatly underestimated Trump's ability to destroy both.
