How is it that a president akin to a terrorist, is allowed to inflict an insanity of mass destruction on the economy, financial markets and federal agencies without anyone able or willing to stop him and hold him accountable to his oath, the Constitution & the law of the land?

While we may be knowledgeable about all the various types of scams, can we claim the same about their inner workings? What fuels their success? Today's NYT's article explains it all, "The Scammer’s Manual: How to Launder Money and Get Away With It." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/w...

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

I thought the Electoral College was a backstop to prevent an aspiring dictator from taking office. Seems that's not true, which begs the question: Do we actually have any backstop to prevent what we are witnessing?

Trump & Vance are disgusting PIGS rambling on about how Zelensky didn't thank them and how bad that is... THIS was a publicity stunt for King Trump to show Putin that he's a STRONGMAN -and on Putin's side. This was a planned public flogging of Zelensky. Pathetic.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

I don't understand. I keep hearing talk about all the bomb threats called in on election day, compromised voting machines, and how he won all 7 swing states, which some say is too much of a coincidence.

How is it that a twice-impeached former con-artist president and a convicted felon is allowed to dismantle the pillars of our democracy while both Dems & legacy Republicans stand by watching? jimacosta.substack.com/p/this-is-no...

Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America.

Caring for elderly parents is a lot of work that many people don’t begin to think about until they are caring for elderly parents.

Enjoying @coopradiob523.bsky.social co-op radio's program on food waste. That's why we love our food co-op. We save truck loads (pun intended) of moolah buying damaged food- huge discounts. But we get many of our friends don't share our values.

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.

We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.
