Odd, how the United States doesn't have enough money to give sick veterans healthcare, impoverished seniors Social Security, or hungry schoolkids lunches, but it does have enough money to pay a Central American dictator millions to torture American residents in his brutal concentration camp.

Ein „ordnungsgemäßes Verfahren“ („due legal process“) ist, was wir dafür halten. Was die Gerichte sagen, ist ein „fake legal process“.
Schreibt der US-Vizepräsident.
Wenn ein zentrales Merkmal für Autokratien ist, ob sich Machthaber an Gesetze und Gerichtsurteile halten, sind die USA dort angelangt.

The Cybertruck is the Donald Trump of autos.

Yes, it's ugly. Yes, it's poorly constructed. Yes, it's falling apart. Yes, it often doesn't work. Yes, it's likely to combust.

But, nevertheless, some people want to be associated with it because it makes a trolly statement to folks they don't like.

Who needs enemies with parents like this.
The parents of an unvaccinated 6-year-old girl who just died from measles in Texas say they have no regrets for refusing to vaccinate their child.

“The measles are good for the body... She’s better off where she is now.”
Parents of Texas child who died of measles stand by decision to not vaccinate
The measles vaccine has been proven to be safe and effective against the disease, which is highly contagious and can be life threatening.

"... a fraudster always makes the loudest voice screaming yelling and complaining ..."

He truly knows that, working with Donald Trump he sees it every day.
Just goes to show: No amount of money can buy some people even a single clue
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick: "Let's say Social Security didn't send out their checks this month, my mother-in-law wouldn't call and complain. She just wouldn't."

Medicare for All isn't radical.

What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.

Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

European friends: Do not accept lectures on democracy & freedom of speech from an Administration that denies the 2020 election results and is now suing & intimidating news outlets whose reporting they don’t like.

Stand tall against right-wing extremism.

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.
