"I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of mankind, to whatever nation they might belong." --- Quotations of George Washington

"Happiness and moral duty are inseprably connected." --- Quotations of George Washington ...The leaders of our country have moral duties. That today's leaders shirk their moral duties does not change that.

"It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every citizen who enjoys the protection of a free government owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defense of it." --- Quotations of George Washington No one should be exempt.

"Liberty itself will find in such a government, with powers properly distributed and adjusted, its surest guardian." --- Quotations of George Washington Undermining our checks and balances the Founding Fathers wrote into our Constitution is the surest path to ruin.

Elon Musk broke trust with Ukraine when he sabotaged their Starlink. Now, he and Trump have the blood of Ukrainbian children on their hands. Now, Canada and the EU are dumping Musk for cause. Because once trust is violated it can never be fully restored. For my part, I'll stick with Verizon.

This says it all:

Suppose Trump actually puts America First, then nothing he actually does makes any sense. Suppose Trump is actually operated under blackmail by Putin, then everything he does actually makes sense.

Now that Zelinsky did America the service of knocking out the Kremlin propaganda bot farms, it seems like said bots are half or more of the MAGA supporters. So it looks like MAGA is in substantial portion a Kremlin operation.

Republicans should explain to Trump that if he cooperates with a 25 Amendment removal from office, that would establish the predicate that he is incompetent to stand trial for his manifold crimes. He wouldn't even need a pardon.

Nixon: I am not a crook. Trump: I am a crook, and there is nothing you can do about it.

They believe all of the bullshit and lies that fall out of his mouth, but don't believe him when he actually tells the truth.

Thought for today: Some gullible people are dumb enough to still believe that the Republicans are "fiscally responsible".

TFG: "Give me your credit card." America: "Why?" TFG: "So I can put $5,500.00 on it..." America: "Why?" TFG: "So I can put my name on a check for $5,000.00 and give it back to you." America: "What happened to the extra $500.00?" TFG: "Service Fee."

Our national debt just hit 40 trillion dollars... ...after Republicans gave America's rich a 45 year tax holiday.

"America is great because she is good, and if America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great" --- Alexis de Tocqueville Trump has no clue about what Makes America Great.

Trump wants to put $5,000.00 on your credit card balance, and then send you a check with his name on it for $5,000.00. He can't even get a bribe right.

Remember when the MAGA's excoriated Democrats for being child molesters? Now MAGA is defending child molesters. Every accusation from MAGA is actually a confession driven by self-loathing.

Thought for today: Today, oligarch media would be calling Dwight D. Eisenhower a Democratic Socialist. I call him The Last Good Republican.

Thought for today: America's super rich got a 45 year tax holiday and kited 40 trillion dollars in debt on America's credit cards. We need a surtax on them to pay the interest on their debt.

Thought for the day: The rich in America have taken a 45 year tax holiday, and now America has 40 trillion dollars of national debt. Now the rich say we can't afford Social Security and Medicare because servicing the debt they kited on America's credit card will take all the money.

Thought for the day: Remember when Republicans used to shout "Character Counts!" at everyone? Why have they gone silent now?

Thought for today: They tell you Social Security and Medicare are too expensive. But they are fully funded by taxes levied to finance them. Actually, the deficit comes from a 45 year tax holiday given to the richest Americans by Republicans. The fix? Make the rich pay Middle Class tax rates.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

Thought for the Day: Crackpot RFK Jr. founded the crackpot anti-vaxx group Children’s Health Defense. Now kids are suffering and dying of Measles again. The crackpots say the kids are dying with Measles, not of it. The same tired old lies they trotted out during Covid. Vaccines save lives.

Today, Ms. Dolly Parton passed away. She was a musical genius, noted philanthropist. She toured until a couple of weeks ago. The world is a poorer place for her passing.

Trump weather report: IQ is room at temperature, while approval nears freezing.

Thought for the day: Social Democracies are Capitalism with funding for Education, Healthcare, and retirement pensions. Anybody who calls that "Communism" is full of shit, and probably robbing the American People blind.

From Robin Rouby-Progressive Cartoons

“Socialism is a scareword they have hurled at every advance the people have made… socialism is their name for most anything that helps the people. 1952. Truman. This is how stale their desperate fearmongering is. cc: @MarshaBlackburn

Thought for today: You don't actually have to be a pervert to be a Republican, but apparently it does help.

Is this why working people don't like AI?

George Washington was the first, and best, President of the United States, because he refused to become King of the US when he was asked to. Donald Trump is the current, and worst, President of the United States because he seeks to become the King of the United States after he swore an oath not to.

Thought for the day: In politics, the lies people tell about themselves are more informative than the truths they tell.
