They never see the beauty and kindness that exists. All they see are the dollar signs and possessions. And they fear that someone is plotting to take it.

Maybe before he does his daily press conference, Johnson might want to be briefed by his staff. But then he wouldn't have plausible deniability. He needs to keep plenty of "I don't knows" in his pocket.

More shit Mike Johnson doesn’t know.

Like tossing a rat between a dog and cat fighting.

Steve Bannon wants to carve up the Middle East again—this time adding a “Christian state” to Trump’s peace plan. ✝️ Because centuries of sectarian conflict clearly need one more flavor.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do. …getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired. …betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator. The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

I think tariffs hurt consumers, police shouldn't wear masks, and the President must obey the law - and shouldn't use his office to run personal profit-making schemes on the side. This apparently makes me a radical Marxist.

Most numbers were memorized, and we had address books with phone numbers. There were also telephone books.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

I can't wait until us caucasians are the minority and the dominant skin color in this country is brown. But I'm too old to see when it happens. But I can imagine how it will look. They'll be begging for DEI initiatives.

What these wealthy universities should be doing is taking a small fraction of the sum Trump is asking for and instead run a big social media campaign accusing the White House of attacking schools.

We can't win with shit like this. Manufacturing phantom profits while our portfolios tank. Elected officials must do their jobs and stop it. Republicans have their heads in the sand and establishment Democrats are only working to get reelected. Very few of them are speaking out.

Imagine that

It’s shameful that the media doesn’t talk about how the shit he says isn’t possible, like $17 trillion in tariffs and drug prices being cut by 1500%.

There should be a word for a huge but pointless event, such as a leader making announcements in a conference speech that will never be implemented and which not even the faithful will pay any attention to because the leader will be gone in a matter of months.

I was wondering how soon the coin would be released.

AltWatcher@altwatcher.bsky.social

Very quick thread: This post is a good example of why "news aggregation" accounts can be a problem. The 1866 law that AltNPS mentions doesn't state that only deceased people can appear on currency, it says that a president can only appear on currency if they've been dead for at least TWO YEARS.

I’m sure someone has done the math, but just in case, here’s what 17 trillion in tariffs looks like. The tariffs are paid by us. $17 trillion divided by 340,000,000 is $50,000 per person. A 25% tariff would mean the average American spent $200,000 on products plus the $50,000 for the tariff.

The Trump Crime Family says there are other counties that don't have Tylenol and they don't have autism. I hope Tylenol files a lawsuit. I wonder if they've been told there are other countries that don't have guns and they don't have mass shootings.

It matters only because Republicans, led by the Trump Crime Family, are loudly and proudly repeating the lie that liberals and transgenders are committing political violence and conservatives are not. Politics of shooters has to be discussed. Otherwise, the uninformed will believe the lie.

I don’t think his politics even matter. He is just another radicalized aggrieved white dude with a huge chip on his shoulder and easy access to a gun. And apparently there are an endless supply of those guys out there😩

The US Chamber of Commerce must be so proud.

A big congratulations to the American fans at the Ryder Cup! Just as more and more foreign tourists were voicing their concerns about travelling to the US because it was becoming more unwelcoming, more unfriendly, and even downright nasty to foreigners, you have gone and proved them right.
