Money that should be spent on fighting human caused global warming, by investing in more, yes, windmills and solar power. No way a fleet with battleships at its core wins wars...not in 1944, not now.

Astounding stupidity and here I am referring to those who voted for Trump, twice. We had a chance, we really did, to unite and fight global warming.

Human caused global warming just may be the greatest catastrophe humanity will undergo, and it could have been greatly ameliorated by having intelligent leaders in charge, rather than people like Trump totally sold out to big oil. And still people support Trump and his anti windmill ways.

Cuba looks to be election fodder...distraction as the midterms approach...another idiotic war, but one that will impress the Cuban immigrants in Florida. And, of course, another war crime of a war as Cuba is no danger to the US.

Nice to see that CNN still has guts and the people capable of dragging the truth out of the Trump gang. Hope the Ellison's don't get their hands on CNN.

As one who lives in low income senior and disabled HUD housing...the facts speak for themselves, though one wonders if Trump could have found a more smarmy economic bully do deliver the news to the poor that they are...dead to Trump, than Bessent.

No such thing as a good Republican in the time of Trump, he is about doing to America what the Russian billionaires did to Russia as the Soviet Empire fell. Russia now is a pretend democracy, with its independent media all muzzled, and the rule of law for the rich and powerful friends of the dictator...doesn't exist.

A lot of Americans have had to change their summer vacation plans, by a lot. No long drives, saving money, worried about the future, their future, the future of their kids. And there are over two more years of this, if Trump stays in office.

Still, he has to get out of town before another President, read Democrat, takes office, or else he cannot be pardoned for his criminal acts. The law has been clear that a President cannot pardon himself from crimes. So, the clock is ticking both on our democracy and on his hold on the Presidency.
Or not. Would you trust JD to do the right thing in finishing the acts of corruption with a pardon?

Can't have an Orwellian "1984" culture without Big Brother watching all, listening to all, frightening all.

Well, the investigation to the death is not our DOJ< so who knows, maybe the truth will be discovered.

Murder is murder, and the killing of criminal suspects in an extrajudicial fashion is murder in every jurisdiction in America.
And then, of course, were the murders of the 80 Iranian leaders told to gather to create a new agreement, and then they were killed in the single stupidest military action of my lifetime, and I am a Vietnam Veteran.

Pathetic. We live in nightmare times where a people, Israeli Jews, have created a fascist empire of their own, and are stealing Palestinian Land as they in their apartheid ways duplicate to the Palestinians what was done to them by the fascists of Germany.

I am an American, and I view this as an illegal war of aggression carried out by America and Israel. Leaders of both countries are guilty of massive war crimes...but since we don't live in the time of the rule of law, the ICC is irrelevant and this nightmare of life in a end stage capitalist gangster will continue to enrich the rich and impoverish the poor.

We either band together, as a planet honoring the rule of law, in this case the ICC, or we honor the other rule, the rule of the jungle, in which case our civilization is headed off a terribly steep cliff, as in nuclear exchanges. By the way, one sure sign of fascist tendencies is hate of the rule of law.

Whether it is the Trump meme coins or AI hedge fund billions, it can only end badly for the gullible.

Well, perhaps they will be collector's items one day, people collect the weirdest stuff. He will be someone who will be seen by the future as a self aggrandizing BS artist who turned out to be pure fascist and a danger to our country, our neighbors, and to reason itself.
And I thought Nixon was a bad Republican.

I am actually surprised that it seems reason will out in this case and the improperly charged person will have his charges dropped. Getting awfully used to a DOJ and Executive Branch being all about lies and hate, so is a nice change of pace.

Let's be honest here, the Investment Deal is just the fascists telling the rest of the world to bend a knee if they want to stay "in the circle". America's entire Republican Party had to bend and kiss, and here we are watching the grift play out on the world stage as well.

Quite unexpectedly, I find myself, an atheist, quite entranced by Talarico's candidacy and non threatening form of Christianity. Hope he wins, though...Texas is not an easy sell for someone who clearly cares and who wants those at the bottom to feel included.

Late stage capitalism at its finest, being the worst. As more and more wealth concentrates in fewer and fewer greedy hands, ethical considerations become irrelevant as this final rule defines all: He or She who dies with the most toys wins.
Hard to trust the wealthy because most are dominated by their money, rather than the other way around.

Well, these days I wouldn't trust anything Trump says or does..all I want is for the midterms to hurry up and get here, in the hopes that at least one House of Congress goes to the Dems to be able to stop his more greedy grifting stunts.

I am sure there is something that Trump and his gang have done that have worked out for America and Americans...give me a second, my memory is a little old but it functions...I am sure there is one?

Day by day, the Trump administration is getting more and more tone deaf, and more and more defiant to spread their ignorance and hatred of science all about.
