The media need to stop beating their chests about how powerful our military is.
It's a point of pride when your country has a strong military that keeps the peace.
It's a source of shame when politicians turn your strong military into an international armed robbery gang.

We frankly need a term for these neo-imperialist dreams that fail to take into account that it isn't 1600 and so end up throwing away a million lives and all the tanks seizing some farms in Ukraine, or wasting time with Venezuelan oil.

Of all the competitive authoritarian developments of the past year I think the fall of CBS News is among the most chilling. That this can happen to easily and so quickly freaks me the fuck out.
Nightmarish. CBS News is now running straight state propaganda. They handed Hegseth all three segments and are now tweeting flattering sound bites.

Trump was born on third base and managed to steal second.
Ilhan Omar rose from a single parent immigrant family where her dad drove a taxi to her current position. Trump is the kid of a racist wealthy slum landlord who headed multiple failed businesses. One of these people is the example of failed ambition and it's not her.
What a racist piece of shit.

Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

A president so stupid that one of the great intellectual achievements of his life is “passing” a dementia screening. A president so narcissistic that he can’t stop bragging about passing that dementia screening as evidence of his immense genius.
Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…

I mean, to Mike Johnson and the modern GOP, the values of the United States are totalitarianism, an all-powerful strongman leader, ignorance, bigotry, bullying, and sneering cruelty. I do hate those things, and I hate the people who embrace them, so I guess I hate their America.
Mike Johnson on No Kings: "We refer to it by its more accurate description -- the Hate America Rally. You're gonna bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far left Democrat Party. That is the modern Democratic Party."

It is incredible what an economic fool this fellow is, I get how he managed to bankrupt a casino
He sincerely believes tariffs are a form of national income, rather than a tax.
But for reference, the United States actually makes about $2,542 billion ($2.5tn) a month. In GDP. You know, production.

The American economy is *preposterously* huge and productive. The United States is *absurdly* wealthy (which makes things like our housing shortage all the more frustrating).
From a historical perspective, it is absolutely bonkers - the only comparison is the USA at other times post-1940.
