Evil and greed sure do together, thinking of the fossil fuel monsters and the big tobacco criminals who bought politicians left and right. They may have destroyed our civilization, but global warming won't be killing many for another couple of decades is my guess. Still, warm water expands so Florida, for example, is losing coastline by the beach...

Ah, but the intent wasn't to correct a wrong, it was to rile of the far right white supremacist voters...and that got Trump into office twice.

Oh, does our Constitution need revising, to come into line with the realities of the time. The Second Amendment was crafted in a time when the US was just forming and had no standing army, and almost had lost the revolution it fought against England. It was a time when the only defense available was the single shot, wildly inaccurate musket kept in most homes.
Today, American states have a National Guard, and of course it has the most powerful standing military in history.

Was that contempt I saw on the face of the leader of China? He has to hang out with someone who clearly is not competent to cook a meal, or drive a cab, or pretty much anything but blather away...

Wish three quarters of the UN would walk out permanently, and go to Geneva and set up a new world organization, where no country has a veto, and all have to honor the rule of law and belong in and participate in the International Criminal Court. Either this world of ours is run by the rule of law, or the law of the jungle, and if the second, as Israel has introduced nukes into the Middle East, good luck with civilization continuing for much longer.

The billionaire caste had their shot at running the country, now return the power to the people, and tax the crap out of the owners of the country, you know, the ten our so people who have over half of the wealth. Call it the Trump tax...

Ok, flipping off the mayor may not be in Roberts Rule of Order, but sometimes, when no one is listening, and disaster is at the door...

Capitalism at its most profitable, for the few, and at its most dangerous, with few if any in actual control of what is going on.

It is almost as if he is getting paid by the corrupt act...and in effect, he is, as he and his family are grifting champions of historic scale. Evil, sure, but these days they don't even try to hide their attitude of, screw America, we are going to mock everything and everyone and get billions for it. Putin, would surely let us reside in Moscow if things come to it.

Fascinating but not going to happen until the midterms happen, and I figure the corrupter in chief and his family will be headed for the exits, if the Dems take back control of Congress.

The Stock Market is a gambling house, and the President has all the insider info in the world...corruption at the highest level, for the most profit.

One problem for Trump is that sure, harassing the hell out of people who look like they know how to speak Spanish may play well with his MAGA base, but the great majority of voters were turned off by his attacks.

Trump gave a performance yesterday that showed just how lost he is within his decline, he should not be representing America, but who thinks Hegseth or JD would be able to stop him from some insane action, like assassinating foreign leaders or dropping nukes on some island?

Our own Judgement Day will most likely spring from uncontrolled, unsupervised, military research into fire and forget automatous weapons, like drones and robots. Once an enemy is on the ropes, all will be fair, and that will of course include Nukes. Either we embrace the rule of law, or we are subject to the law of the jungle, and of course, America, at the food chain today, won't be there forever.

Wow, as tone deaf political comments go, telling the American people that you are firmly on the side of vaccines and are willing to take the fight to Trump...just wow.
No such thing as a good Republican Party leader in the time of Trump,because either they kiss his ring, or they are tossed out of the gang.

Quality control means actually testing the boots before delivery...hard to believe they were even tested. Reminds me of the first days of the M16, which replaced the tried and true M14.

Our infrastructure is frighteningly fragile, that is for sure.

Worst person in the world in the most powerful job in the world...losing his marbles and refusing to even consider handing over the keys...the next two years is going to be an exercise in fear, unless he "retires" and gets what he wants, a total pardon for himself and his entire grifting army.

Oh yeah...AI can pass a bar exam or drive a cab, it can be as sneaky as hell if it is given the freedom to do so.
Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics made sense when Asimov wrote them and they sure do make sense now, but no one in Asimov's time anticipated that America would exhibit late stage capitalistic tendencies so soon, where less then ten people own most of the wealth, and so run the country, and AI works for them.
Now there is a conspiracy from hell, AI and the big, big boys of the oligarchy.

Getting put on Nixon's enemies list, historically speaking, was not a bad thing. The fact that some people and outlets are high on Trump's favorable list is pretty damning truth be told.

Today Trump says one thing, and tomorrow he will be demanding more, and then more. I get why Greenland signed this agreement, but one feels like finding a way to apologize to all its citizens for the way it has been treated.

I am the same age as Trump, by a few weeks, and yeah, neither one of us should be running a massive organization. The only hope for change is for the Dems to sweep in and take back both Houses of Congress and somehow bribe Trump to let some real legislation, like age limits through.

Same thing happened in Russia as the Soviet Union fell, and for a time there was hope for democracy in Russia, but then, the gangsters took over and now Russia is a pretend democracy with pretend rule of law, all for the profit of the billionaire oligarchs who rule.
That "class' of super rich people are doing the same thing here. It is all for sale, even our climate and our very lives.

Who would intentionally craft a policy that will allow measles to return in great force? MAGA and Trump would do such a thing, that is who, and Cassidy has the heart of a self serving nincompoop.

The insanity of these times is all the remarkable considering that Trump was elected twice, and he is a clear fascist and an enemy of the earth, a climate change denier.
