I nominate Vladimir Putin for the Nobel Peace Prize since he is far more worthy of it than Trump. To quote Witless Witkoff, Trump's stooge "Putin is a humanitarian. " No one says that about Trump. #FuckRussia #FuckPutin

Super Intelligence My Ass. Here is Claude's definition of a family: "That is all a family is, if you look at the schematics. One animal, with several stomachs and one purpose." Only if your family is made in Taiwan out of silicon.

Full autocrat mode is when you can fight a war without public support. Tell the people they are full of it when they complain about prices and have a private army roaming the streets. The only piece left is how to nullify the election. Your vote doesn't matter when Trump gets through with it.

I am sick of the pundits who say impeaching Trump is a waste of time. It is important to lay down markers that Trump's behavior and blatant disregard for democracy and his corruption is not acceptable. Without the marker of a third impeachment, future leaders will say this wasn't that bad.

Amusing sight American soldiers on their knees kowtowing to Xing and Trump fawning over him like a school girl with a crush. It is clear to me that the American century is over, having nothing more to offer the world than recalled hot dogs, China is ascendant, the East is Red. #China #USA

To see how really bad nationalist trade policies can create political instability look to Britain after BREXIT—one of the most stupid policies ever enacted by a government second only to the US reintroducing Smoots-Hawley. #tariffs #TradeWar

The point I am making here between the two is that America is being set up for decades of economic torpor and decades of political instability. I don't think a Blue Wave is going to undo this economic trajectory.

Given the current Democratic leadership, as Jeffries showed, they will probably collaborate with Trump "for the good of the nation" or some mythical ideal of unity. #UnityMyth #PoliticalAnalysis

Trump is using the Smoots-Hawley Act of 1930 which MANY economists attribute to putting Great into the Great Depression. The act was meant to protect US industries instead it caused countries to retaliate against the United States and reduced exports.

Special kind of dumb but that's a good description of the American electorate. The real goal is not to raise revenue but to complete destroy the WTO and all subsequent agreements so we can return to the blessed state of nature which as Hobbes tells us is "Red in Tooth and Claw".

But as we know during naps at cabinet meetings Trump is playing 4th dimensional tic-tac-toe. What he wants of course is for companies to make 'deals' with him to get tariffs lifted. It is what banana republicans do.

I see that Germany is looking at outlawing the second largest party in country the AfD. AfD is one those ultranationalist send 'em back to whereever and their kids and heck even their grandkids. Good idea of a country short on labor, skilled labor and a rapidly aging population.

Germany unlike the US can and does outlaw parties that are threat to the Constitution. The problem is the AfD is the second largest party in the country, Its large but mostly powerless since no other party will form a coaltion with it and coalition governments are the only kind that get formed

since no other party will form a coaltion with it and coalition governments are the only kind that get formed in Germany, another safeguard. The US needs similar mechanisms. Sad when Germany has more protection of its constitutional order and America has so very few and mostly useless.

For Guardsmen in California, if you have to serve in LA and hate being a puppet of Trump wear a flower or put one in your gun. Let people know you won't hurt them if they leave you alone. People respect the flower and leave these friends alone.

Elmo's MechaHitler. Grok is rivaling Elon's X and Zukerturd's FB as the newest spewage of hate,antisemitism, and holocaust promoting on the Internet. What do you expect from AI trained on X tweets.

Calling itself MechHitler is crazy, along with attacking Jews personally. But this is Amerikkka so what can expect from a guy who gives Nazi salutes in public, buys elections, platforms more lies than a Goebel's radio broadcasts and is carrying out his very own Lebensborn program with rentawombs.

In Squid Game season two, after every game, the players vote on whether to keep risking death—and they keep saying yes. It’s like voting for Trump over and over. People really are that dumb. Ask ChatGPT

I am so disgusted with corporate media and their attacks on Mamdani. Let's take the case of public grocery stores. Horrible, terrible idea to make groceries more affordable. And this is what the shills quote their masters that their profit margins are only 1.6 percent on average.

Kroger: Net income (or net earnings) was $2.164 billion in 2024. Publix: Net earnings reached approximately $4.6 billion in 2024. Albertsons: Net income was $959 million in fiscal 2024. Costco: Net income was $7.37 billion (up 17% from FY 2023).

Fly a Red Flag over New York City! There is a long tradition of municiple socialism in the US and in Europe. They prioritized the interests of the working class over the rich. 38 states have smaller populations than NYC and its GDP is larger than Canada, Australia, South Korea, Mexico, and Spain.
