I know that Medicare/ Medicaid is Democrats’ native language & what they’re happiest speaking but I’d love for SOME prominent person to try the line “they increased the debt limit by $5 trillion in order to triple size of ICE & make its detention center bigger than the whole federal prison system.”

I would like to celebrate #WorldAlbatrossDay today, by posting some of my fav albatross pics over the past year. I may have posted some of these before, but these magnificent #birds deserve a rerun. 😀 Let's start with this Black-browed Albatross near the Falkland Islands. #seabirds

Citizens United put America up for sale, and Musk and Trump are the private equity firm stripping it for parts.
The Road from ‘Citizens United’ to Trump, Musk, and Corruption

“The flood of digital content that I have been seeing here since yesterday reveals a shocking banality and intellectual poverty. The superficiality of most of the contributions not only provokes outrage, but pure anger. This intellectual stupidity is absolute horror!”
Die Flut von digitalen Inhalten, die ich seit gestern hier wahrnehme, offenbart eine erschreckende Banalität und geistige Armseligkeit. Die Oberflächlichkeit der meisten Beiträge ruft nicht nur Empörung, sondern pure Wut hervor. Diese intellektuelle Verdummung ist der absolute Horror!

“…I used to speak to Vladimir at length… it was the apple of his eye.”

I dove deep into the lessons I learned in my military career to examine the utterly terrible idea of Trump having a board evaluate all 3 and 4-star generals for removal. This won’t just hurt today’s military but national security for decades to come. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...
