Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
"Polls have shown voters saying that they believe that the president isn't focused on the issues that matter most to them," Tamara Keith says. "This war is affecting... the economy in a way that is completely counter to what the president promised when he ran for office." https://to.pbs.org/4szdp2L

I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas! Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to. “Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, ‘this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” 🔥
So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.
In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 8mo agoTrump: "See that nice drape? When that comes down right now you see a very very deep hole, but in about a year and half you're gonna see a very very beautiful building.

Florida just cut off HIV meds for 16,000 people.
Jesspooka Kant 🎃@jessdkant.bsky.social · 8mo agoUnbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80’s + 90’s never happened and we didn’t lose an entire generation to this already.
