"the president has encased himself in the hard amber of irrationality that inevitably surrounds authoritarian leaders. He has become detached from reality—and that detachment is extremely dangerous." #VeryyStableGenius #Blues
Trump’s Irrationality Is Dangerous
The president’s recent rant is a sign of serious dysfunction in the Oval Office.

Trump is in Las Vegas touting what he calls the greatest economy in the history of the world, giving himself an A++++++ for making gas, food, groceries, health care, and housing more affordable than ever. It has never been lower in the history of the world.
What goes around comes around. The world is watching.

One year from now, I don’t want to hear members of Congress acting shocked about the damage Todd Blanche does as the United States Attorney General. They know exactly what they’re voting for, and they had a chance to stop it. Consider them complicit because that’s what they are

If Clarkson thinks people should write to say thank you for benefits I think the rich should also write to apologise for using tax avoidance to a specific Dr Nurse Teacher or Care worker explaining what they will do with the money and why they don’t care about a healthy well funded country.
@miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social why drop this? We need farmland to provide food security for the country in increasingly challenging times surely using car parks is a great solution for solar with so many benefits. #ClimateCrisis #Heatwave eastangliabylines.co.uk/environment/...

Republican Senators are voting to confirm Trump’s lawyer to be AG when it just came out that Capital One shut down Trump’s accounts under suspicion of money laundering and Trump wants exemption from being investigated for tax fraud. THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS.
This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.
The reality is that this is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to force Ukrainian capitulation and this is how he wants to do it.

Important read. I’m pretty confident that the vast majority of humans do NOT choose to burn up & starve on an unlovable fiery planet. Why are we letting these profit-obsessed death cult freaks decide the future for all of us?
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 14h agoMy column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
