I'll never understand how that R by their name somehow sanitizes some of the most evil people of this generation, for many people claiming to be "conservative" and "Christian."

Xi keeps bringing up the Thucydides trap with 🍊🤡. 🍊🤡 has no clue what that phrase references, & likely no one in his inner circle either. But it wouldn't matter if they did. They would still keep blustering about "lethality" while firing every competent military officer & burning our munitions.

Trump hasn’t grown any smarter since his first meeting with Xi 2017

There's a reason 🍊🤡 idolizes Russia's dictator. There's a reason he copies Putin's playbook. There's a reason he parrots Kremlin talking points. & we can trace a direct line from 🍊🤡's visits to Moscow in the 80s at the personal invitation of the Soviet ambassador himself, to his behavior now.

Trump would love to handle the press like his hero Putin does

I just learned something. "Extreme narcissists often excel at acquiring power due to high confidence and charismatic pitching, but they frequently fail long-term due to reckless decision-making, an inability to process critical feedback, and poor risk assessment."

I would add, the narcissistic ego gets in the way of both acquiring competent assistants, and accepting their counsel. Basically the clown car of incompetents is a never ending cycle: narcissism demanding ego stroking to prevent being underbussed, disastrous decisions, rinse & repeat.

www.yahoo.com/news/politic... Texas has suspended over a million registered voters, with their very tight Senate race heating up. This could change how the US Senate looks for years to come. If you're Texan, or know any, check your registration now and repeatedly until the polls open!

yahoo.comTexas Has Suspended More Than 1 Million Voters Ahead of Senate RaceIf you’re one of the people who had their voter registration suspended, there’s still time to fix it.

Are our military folks ever going to realize that 🍊🤡 and his DUI hire SECDEF couldn't give two 💩 💩 about them? Also, as an aside, political cartoonists are doing the Lord's work these days.

They are CONCENTRATION CAMPS.

Guardian US@us.theguardian.com

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

Nicely done, España. Campeones del mundo, 2026. Felicidades! May the next world cup bring us a world of greater democracy, freedom, understanding, friendship and love.

Two more American service members dead and one more missing--that they're admitting. www.cnn.com/2026/07/18/p... Blood on the hands of POTUS, everyone who enabled & encouraged him (like Hegseth,) every Congress person who voted against the War Powers Resolution, & every lying "yes man."

cnn.comTwo US service members killed, one missing following Iranian strikes in Jordan | CNN PoliticsTwo US service members were killed and one is missing in action, US Central Command announced Saturday, marking the first American military fatalities from Iranian fire since March.

This SCOTUS is going to go down in history as the most corrupt, most damaging to democracy, precedent, and the rule of law court in the entire existence of the United States.

This is so accurate! Kicking a hornet's nest in Iran tangled them (and also unfortunately us) up in an absolutely unwinnable mess.

When you're angry, you can't think straight. It's why trash talk is so successful in sports, and especially combat sports like MMA. It's also why smart people try to be more measured in their responses. It's also why the rhetoric from the hard right is designed to keep their base riled up.

Watched the press conference after the WHCD incident. It was a dog and pony show, for sure, but did anyone else notice who was conspicuous by his absence? Yep, DUI hire Ka$h Patel, erstwhile FBI director. Is he, then, the next domino to fall?

Just like with Russia's Putin, every accusation is a confession. Republicans could stop all gerrymandering nationwide by supporting one of the multiple Democrat bills presented for that purpose. They won't.

Happy Easter to our Orthodox friends. Happy liberation day to Hungary, your Easter was last week but tonight you celebrate! I made some τσουρέκι, traditional braided Greek Easter bread, as part of our traditional Greek Easter dinner tonight.

Unbelievable arrogance and blasphemy to think that somehow their violence will bring Christ.

“It was the worst of times and it was the worst of times…”

How many times can he threaten genocide before the neutered US Congress (or the clown car of incompetents that is his Cabinet) take action? This isn't "4-D chess" or a "stable genius," it's a mental & emotional toddler tantruming because he didn't get his way. You're complicit!!! #impeach #25th

Civilizational collapse

Ever notice that the people who don't mind sending your loved ones to war, are the very people who won't send their own?

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Throughout history, war has always been part of the authoritarian playbook. That’s because war allows so-called "strongmen" to feign strength, even if they are operating from a place of weakness. This is exactly what is happening to Donald Trump.

When everything you do supports a malignant narcissist megalomaniac trying to steal a country's land & compel regime change there by military force... & then that same international criminal gives military support to the country you're trying to compel regime change in so they can kill your troops~

www.npr.org/2026/03/27/n... It's only been at year and a few months since we had an apolitical military. Now we have a White "Christian" Nationalist loon in charge who is sacrificing national security and military readiness for ideology. We're in serious danger, folks.

npr.orgDefense Secretary Hegseth intervened to stop promotions of Black and female officersFour Army officers were on track to become one-star generals, NPR confirms. Defense secretary Pete Hegseth's involvement in the promotion process is highly unusual.

Imagine having a president who fights as hard for us as Zelensky does for Ukraine. Maybe someday... Hopefully before we're another Russia, "gas station with nukes." Think really hard about what you're voting for. The consequences are earthshattering. Слава Україні!
