In a mere ten years we’ve gone from “hope and change” to “goons and ghouls.”

Posting this pic right now for no particular reason. Actually, not true — posting it because it tells you something about what kind of man Walz is, and something about what Minnesota kids think of him.

I was surprised when Vance said before the ‘24 election that he was fine with creating stories, i.e., lying to the American people, to push his agenda didn’t receive more pushback in the media. Now that we know, of course, there’s no reason to believe a single thing he says.

From SFGATE: “Warriors game in Minnesota postponed after another ICE shooting”

I hope they interview Steve Kerr about what’s happening in Minneapolis; I ‘m sure he would have some choice words to impart, and I’d love to hear them.

Have they started the investigation into the victim yet?

Instead of the bullshit history-denying celebration Trump is planning for 250th July 4, there ought to be a giant country-wide protest, bigger than No Kings, huge, like no one’s ever seen before!

I would love to see some journalist(s) do a formal “compare and contrast” of this bellicose Trump speech today with the generous Biden speeches in Europe less than 2 years ago at the D-Day commemoration honoring those who fought, sacrificing so much, to preserve freedom for all of us.

Honestly, was not hoping for this, but contrary to my earnest hopes and wishes for my country, the current POTUS makes this novel more relevant than ever on a daily basis:

He wants ownership of Greenland as that appeals to his personal psychology🤦‍♂️. Historically, of course, military activity done to appeal to one man’s psychological state has
been the work of monarchs and dictators.

CNBC app headline just now: Sen. Kelly sues DOD Sec. Hegseth, says he was punished for ‘disfavored political speech’

I, for one, just want to say that I favor his political speech!

How shocking it was (at least to me) to see all those “Mass Deportation Now” signs at the ‘24 RNC,” and as I believe a majority in this country finds the ICE and CBP implementation of that policy deplorable, Dem ‘26 oft-repeated mantra ought to be: End Mass Deportation Now!

He must be talking about how the administration and its lackeys are reporting on it, right?
