Donold has gone from "Obama wasn't born in America" to "they're eating the pets" to "Biden was replaced by a robot".
This is what mental deterioration looks like.

Here are the countries that provide universal healthcare. Notice how the two largest military spenders in the world aren't on the list. It's a matter of priorities. The U.S. needs universal healthcare, not a trillion-dollar defense budget or a 'golden dome'.

One of my old person tendencies, I just don’t understand the appeal of FaceTime in day to day life. On a birthday or special occasion sure but like every other time it seems way more of a hassle to FaceTime than to just call.

"The goalposts for DOGE have silently moved from finding fraud and corruption to simply pointing out and cancelling government programs that Trump and Republicans simply don’t support." -- @justinglawe.bsky.social
Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud
All they've really got is "spending that Elon Musk doesn't like."

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen.
1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.
