The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.

Here we are again.

We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war.

I’m not watching the speech tonight.
I don’t want to hear that child rapist lie about the economy-we know the truth.
I don’t want to hear him as he justifies dragging us into war, killing innocent people.
I don’t want to hear him defend ICE.
He stole our healthcare.
I do not want to hear him.

Donald Trump's remarks about Rob Reiner's murder prove that Jeffrey Epstein was right about one thing: Trump.

Although morally repugnant, many see this as a calculated political ploy before a suspect was named to soften the blow on the assumption the killer was a Trump MAGAt. In that sense, it's even worse than face value since it presupposes MAGAts will kill for Trump - nothing personal; just business.
I kind of miss the days when America would at least pretend to be civilised in public.

This is sickening.

I'm conflicted. It's an important issue worth running over the reds, but fear they'll zombie-up in 6 months & get credit for Dems determination to save healthcare, i.e., they fuck up, we fix, they claim credit/lather, rinse, repeat.

NOTE TO SELF: Refrain from smearing shit on the television in protest.

On a positive note, he'll get on a jet to FL and do no more damage until 2026. Plus, few tears would be a shed if a dozen F-18s mistook Mar a Lago for a Venezuelan scow.

If it feels like every tragedy gets twisted by MAGA into proof that people outside their movement are dangerous, you’re not imagining it. That instinct has a name in psychology, and MAGA has turned it into a political strategy.

Trust me, Senator. Neither do they.
Mark Kelly on Trump’s military probe: “I haven’t heard anything — Social media, that’s how we were notified. That’s how unserious they are — I spent 25 years in the United States Navy. I retired from the Navy 14 years ago. I’m not in any command now. I don’t know what they’re talking about”

It would be more accurate to blame Trump's tariff policies, trade wars and tax cuts discredited after Herbert Hoover employed them to trigger the Great Depression. Joe Biden & the Fed pulled off a difficult soft landing for a Goldilocks Economy these malevolent morons destroyed in months.

We were the abused.
We were the forgotten.
We were the bemused.
We were the downtrodden.

You have abused us.
You have forgotten us.
You have bemused us.

BUT

We will no longer allow you to tread on us!

We will rise, speak your names + demand justice!

Your power over us is gone as you diminish!

Look everyone - actual data based economic analysis.
Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

All the WH nonsense should go through this treatment.
This is a great example that the US president is a lunatic. Listen carefully 🙈
