The Department of War has been quite efficient at depleting our missile stocks in blowing up a poor country with almost no defenses. Let's just hope and pray that the Department of Defense is not needed should we encounter a real enemy as it no longer exists.

The so-called president is so f'ing obsessed with appearance and numbers that he loses any connection between those numbers of war dead and the actual human lives they represent. How anyone can stand behind this inhuman cretin is incomprehensible.

Why would China not want a bumbling idiot who greatly admires Xi to become president?

The sun should be straight overhead at noon as it has through most of human history. Don't force people to do their morning commute in the dark in December because we thought it was a good idea in July. Make standard time permanent, not daylight time.

This regime is a murderer. From supposed drug runners off the South American coast to supposed illegal persons within our borders to people of other cultures deemed inferior. Killing is a moral depravity that most of us abhor. The orange idiot embraces killing as it makes him feel strong.

Clean energy is cheaper than fossil fuels now in every part of the world. Only fossilized ideas, ossified politicians, and blind, profit-driven corporations are keeping us from moving forward.

The difference between normal people and the super rich

Leaders of great achievement earn the friendship and praise of people. Leaders of great strength make people afraid. People despise and defy a leader who is untrustworthy. Lao Tzu

No doubt, the weather in Washington DC was vandalized by treasonous left wing radicals.

Feeling somber on a hot, windy day. I so long for the days when we had a constitutional government that was accountable to congressional oversight. As we celebrate our 250th birthday, I find it impossible to have national pride when the nation's identity is centered around one insatiable ego.

The big difference between the US and other fascist societies is that we still have access to loads of untainted information that the right can't hide or make go away. The propaganda only works if we consciously choose to be ignorant, fail to read history, and become an intellectually lazy society.

It's almost amazing how every single thing he touches turns to shit and he leaves a wake of toxic effluvia in its path. Only he could be so utterly evil and clueless to assure such complete waste. It says everything about his cultish followers and what they want. Utter destruction at any cost.

If only Republicans could muster up the testicular fortitude of Giorgia Meloni...

Anyone who dares to question how this Iran deal is better than Obama's is low IQ if you're black, evil and stupid if you're a woman, and hates our country regardless.

How perverse, selfish and just plain cruel? The Republican party is working overtime to ensure we all hate them. They are following the "we want to get slaughtered in the midterms" play book. Go for it but please don't harm innocent animals along the way.

Gee, whiz: elephant relieves itself on floor of Texas Republican convention

If anyone can correctly gauge 'dishonorable people', it's our idiot in chief. He wrote the book.

In their lust for power and zeal to control us and the commodities we use, the war mongers of the world always overlook the ramifications of their actions. People are seeking greener power and alternatives to chemical fertilizers at an unprecedented rate, helping to heal the planet in the process.

Iran war forces farmers to seek fertilizer alternatives from cow dung to compost

Governments around the world are being pressed to find and support alternatives to reduce dependency on chemical fertilizers as the Iran war drives up prices.

We've all been waiting for his Waterloo and it has finally arrived. Only his orange idiot self could come up with something so insensitive, self-serving, and blatantly corrupt as his DOJ slush fund. The anger is only starting to coalesce.

Reading the news makes me wretch these days, but there's one silver lining. The more fossil fuels cost, the more consumers look for green alternatives. Economics 101.

Stocks are up! Oil is up! Crypto is up! Corporations are making record profits. Citizens are counting their blessings, monitoring their pennys, and hoping they don't get sick as they can't afford to see a doctor. The plutocracy is running in fine fiddle.

Why do we feel lost and adrift? With the United States AWOL, the world has lost its moral compass, its guiding light. Our ship of ideals and aspirations has become a ship of fools hellbent on destruction. And there are no lifeboats. We're all stuck aboard and can only watch in horror. Mutiny anyone?

Practically all of his lies are projection. When he said Iran desperately wanted a truce it means he desperately wanted a way out. No regime change, no unconditional surrender, no nuclear material. Just the promise that they will talk about it later. And all for only about $100 billion or more.

In China they've actually demonstrated how coal can be a beautiful thing. In the US we haven't got beyond the stage of making a big stinky mess that kills things. www.scmp.com/news/china/s...

China builds world’s first ‘coal battery’ with zero emission

New technology developed by Chinese scientists achieves higher energy efficiency than burning while eliminating carbon dioxide emissions.

While the US builds guilded ballrooms and victory arches, the enlightened world builds futuristic cities and high-speed trains. While the US reverts to burning coal for power, the enlightened world taps directly from the sun. Anyone who thinks America is becoming great again should be extinct.

How many trillions must we spend to mollify the xenophobic fears bred by ignorance?

The unenlightened effect change by breaking things.

Republicans are quick to rally round and praise their leader for his glorious victory and incomparable negotiating skills. Meanwhile, what has changed? A lot more dead people and blown up things. The Strait of Hormuz is closed, which wasn't the case before. And more people hate us. Good work, huh?

A whole civilization which has been a beacon of freedom for 250 years is in the process of dying at the hands of one mad, narcissistic, clueless idiot. It's like being in a toilet that's just been flushed. We're swirling towards the drain at an ever accelerating pace.

None of this insane unreality would be happening if it were not for the bootlicking enablers, otherwise known as the Republican party. You can run but, hopefully, not escape accountability for your asinine loyalty to the most incompetent, immature cretin who ever occupied the White House.

The ramblings of the Ayatollah in the White House on the day before Easter: "Time is running out — 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to God!” (sic) Now we know what it sounds like to live in a "religious" dictatorship. Of course, it's nothing Jesus would ever have said.
