Yes trump wants to be evil like Putin, but don’t tell me Putin has nothing on him when this is how the two look after their 2018 Helsinki meeting.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

This person has been pushing Kremlin talking points since the 1980s. Funny how little attention this gets 🤔

None of this trump and Epstein stuff is surprising and yet seeing it in print still feels jarring. it’s easy to be cynical but we absolutely don’t know what will break through until it does.

It’s almost like the people who are pushing fossil fuels and opposing renewables don’t actually care about jobs, energy costs, energy security, health, the environment, etc. They’ve made it a culture war issue, but it’s not about tree huggers vs capitalists or any of the other false dichotomies.
WWS also creates 25 mil more jobs than lost, uses less land & results in much less mining
Lower costs, better health, better climate, more jobs, less land, less mining, more energy security. No downside

You cannot separate the current nightmare we now inhabit from the collapse/crisis in how rich, powerful middle-aged men perceive masculinity, especially their own insecurities.
I’m sorry, but a goofy looking guy who grew up a privileged son of a pediatrician and has a phd in social theory from the university of Goethe and started in tech by investing an inheritance left to him by his grandfather talking about being a “dude” is very, very funny to me.

Business rent is way too high on Mag (not Miracle) Mile so companies are just shuffling around. H&M moved two blocks down the road to save cash.
He's blaming "murder and crime" in one of the safest parts of the city because the real problem is "landlords." Almost like that's the whole gambit.

Agree that we all need to look beyond US main stream media, now more than ever. While major news outlets were already consolidated into large corporations run by billionaires, things have gone from bad to worse with right-wing activists like Larry Ellison, taking over large pieces of the info-sphere
If you're only watching the news - when every tv news outlet is owned by billionaires that are handing Trump money...Good Lord.
Follow more Dems on social media. Seek out articles from places like the UK, Canada, France.
Your inability to seek out info is not the Dems' fault.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

BINGO! A WINNER, and this has been on-goin for well over a decade - a la Russian paid YouTube "influencers", and it's why Putin's oligarchs bought large shares of Facebook, twitter and others SM apps many years ago; not to mention their thousands of Russian trolls posing as Americans for many years.
