We elected the most soulless, self-absorbed empty suit we could possibly scrape from the gutters of late-stage capitalist grift. Twice.
This is on us as much as on him. As a country, we showed ourselves as infantile rubes and slack-jawed marks. As a people, we asked for this. Twice.

Why is it that the livelihoods of federal workers or the healthcare of millions of people always end up on the chopping block, but never the trillions in tax cuts handed out to billionaires and massive corporations?
Trump warns that 'a lot' of federal workers could be laid off in a government shutdown looming at midnight Sept. 30.

The sentence "One of the worst human beings" should contain one of the following names:

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

It is useful to that movement -- and an inevitable outcome of its political psychology -- to deny any responsibility for its own actions, to frame its opponents as the cause of its degeneracy, but its opponents are under no obligation to accept that absurd premise.

Over and over, the Trump-Vance administration is tearing down rules that protect ordinary people from mistreatment by corporations. Now it's happening in the airline sector.

And btw, calling a 20 yr rape and sex trafficking ring a “hoax” is cowardly & despicable. Calling it a “hoax” is an ugly offense to the more than 1,000 victims, most of whom were teenagers, many as young as 14yrs old.
