Didn't Felon Musk insult this particular wing of the Republican Party who are now idiotically protecting his interests?

Indeed, "willfully stupid." The MAGAts keep buying cryptocurrency, don't they? Please pass the Kool-Aid.

Hi Rstybeach11: Thanks for posting. I met a few USAID folks years ago and they were hard-working people doing yeoman's work in the fields while the State Dept FSOs were in the embassies and consulates.

#15: The bipartisan US Congress allowed the AUMF to continue unabated for decades, thanks to the Islamophobic GWOT and AIPAC. To paraphrase Lady MacBeth: "what's done is done and cannot be undone." Now the US has an unregulated violent baboon as POTUS who will further abuse the AUMF, kill more people, all the while wasting US resources and causing reprisal attacks on American citizens or servicemembers abroad.

Like I wrote in a different thread about Trumpf's elocution on answering questions: "Humble-mumble-chumble." This time it's about the tariffs.

Thanks to Trumpf's hateful rhetoric and lies, a xenophobic lunatic slaughters 23 innocent people and maims another 22. The anguish of losing loved ones, PTSD, and scars never go away. You wonder how many more people will die in America's "Killing Fields" thanks to Republican voters, hate radio, Fox News, NRA, and Dotard Trumpf?

"Nothing to see here folks, c'mon, move along...."

How the worst person in the world keeps insulting the intelligence of the American people is simply mind-boggling.

The dysfunctional, sexual predators in the GOP are practicing the art of projection and deflection.

"See! Look over there! Them's another one of them LBGQYT weerdos! Quick, hide yer chillern!!"

#2 Good one-- thanks for that.

The ruling class wants Americans in debt as a control measure living in a constant state of anxiety. "Oh, you have a medical problem? Let me heal you. Oh, your insurance doesn't cover it? I don't care. Here's your bill." "Oh, you have a dental problem? Let me fix it for you. Oh, your insurance doesn't cover it? I don't care. Here's your bill." "Oh, you can't make the payment on your house? We'll have to foreclose you." "Oh, you didn't make the payment on your car? We'll have to re-possess it."

"Hmm, have you been paying off your school loans...?"

These are all the problems faced by us-- the people of the US-- issues the oligarchs don't have.

Thanks Republicans for voting against your own 401K plans, homes, cars, health, and economic security.

About the acquisition, one blogger wrote that Bayer did not buy Monsanto because they were struggling. Bayer is struggling because they bought Monsanto. That transaction meant the legal risks Monsanto assumed now lie with Bayer, and so far this has not done any good for the German company. Bayer made the assumptions that the legal risks wouldn't be so bad because Monsanto's patents were worth it. But Bayer leadership underestimated just how bad Monsanto's business practices were.

Also, the EU has been attempting to ban Monsanto's products for years. Europe has a "farmer vs environmentalist feud," played out the most vocally in France. The US market may have seemed safer for these carcinogenic products, so Bayer put aside billions for the imminent lawsuits.

The damage to America will be exponential. Nazi persecution of Jews led to the exodus of scientists, preventing the Third Reich from getting the A-Bomb first during WWII, although the Germans did build rockets ahead of the Allies (the V1 and V2s). Other countries like Canada, France, or the UK will benefit from our tragedy.

Europe has been invading people for thousands of years. Ask the Aztecs of Mexico, the Indians in Bombay, the tribes at Plymouth Rock, or the Hong Kongers.

Oligarchs are racist Malthusians without compassion, seeing the masses as using up their precious resources, so "fcck'em." And now that a NYC slumlord who denied people of color apartments is POTUS, this mega-slumlord in the White House is once again denying people of color assistance-- this time with lethal results. In his novels, Charles Dickens couldn't conjure a villain as vile as Trumpf. Shakespeare comes close with Richard III or MacBeth.

Title should read: "Norway Restoring Cold War Military Bunkers." I had a SECDEF Pete Hellsbreath moment. Hic!

Frankly, I'm surprised oligarchs Felon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Larry Ellison didn't already buy 23andMe or their DNA data yet for their AI plans to subjugate humanity. Felon Musk took the time to fly to Wisconsin to hand out checks for one million dollars each.
