It goes without saying that those who voted for Trump deserve all the shit they are getting--no sympathy whatsoever. Close behind are Harris voters who couldn't be bothered to vote. To hell with them. Third are journalists who sanewashed and bothsidesed him. They disgust me.

My country, the US, is worthless to the free world. Europe must eject the US from NATO and immediately admit Ukraine to the EU and NATO. Then send troops to defeat Russia and its ally, the US.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment.
One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

As a Californian for the last 47 years of my seven plus decades, I'm occasionally tempted to leave for less populated places. Now, with FFOTUS the DIC's American carnage under way, I'd only consider an alternative like Massachusetts. Both states will pick up the slack in residents' public health.

Why would they scrutinize it? They have no objections to its contents. Just as they have no objections to Hegseth's deplorable history and misogyny. That's why they'll vote to confirm. They've been thoroughly dominated by FFOTUS the DIC (First Felon of the United States the Deplorable-in-Chief).

A major fire erupted south of San Francisco at the Moss Landing Power Plant, forcing hundreds to evacuate. So far, the fire has stayed in the facility, which stores thousands of lithium batteries.
