“Hegseth committed sexual assault, mismanaged the veterans’ nonprofits he ran and was frequently publicly intoxicated.”
Disqualifying, disgusting !

Obamacare Enrollment Hits Record Ahead of Trump’s Return Almost 24 million Americans have signed up for plans offered under the Affordable Care Act, driven by subsidies that are expiring and that Congress may not renew.

“24 million Americans, a record, have already signed up for plans under the program, popularly known as Obamacare, during the current enrollment period, according to the White House.”
and Trump and his dwarves want to get rid of it! Idiots!

Chief Justice Roberts Condemns Threats to Supreme Court and Judiciary In his year-end report on the federal judiciary, the chief justice decried violence, intimidation and disinformation and warned against defiance of court rulings.

Chief Justice Roberts has the nerve to whine about detractors suggesting “political bias in the judge’s adverse rulings without a credible basis for such allegations.”

The gaslighting is real.

It’s a new year. Let’s start fresh.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT BIDEN AND DEMOCRATS

Churches close their doors as fewer Americans attend - ABC News

“Today, just 45% say the same, the analytics company noted, and only 32% say that they worship God in a house of prayer once a week.”
maybe if the churches weren’t so greedy and hypocritical ….

Maybe it’s because nobody really cares. You are not an authority on any of this nonsense, but you have fallen into the trap of black-and-white, thinking, as if all of this is simple. It’s not.

Canadian Ministers Meet Trump Aides at Mar-a-Lago to Discuss Border, and Tariffs President-elect Donald J. Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on Canadian exports unless the country stops the flow of migrants and fentanyl to the U.S.

www.nytimes.com/2024/12/27/w...

Remember, the reason the Canadian ministers are coming. Mar-a-Lago is because convicted felons from America are not allowed into Canada! Trump cannot get into Canada. That’s why he is making all this noise about taking it over!

Remember, just because Bobby Kennedy is a drug addled clown with no scientific training, that doesn’t mean he’s not dangerous!

Ketamine primarily acts on glutamate receptors. It does have effect at higher doses on opiate receptors, but it primarily interacts with glutamate receptors which are widely distributed throughout the brain.

Boy, you sure don’t hear about drones anymore. Or the price of eggs.

Republicans hold the thinnest margin in the country’s history - WSJ
“Republicans held on to control of the House of Representatives in November by one of the thinnest margins in the country’s history—even smaller than in the current Congress”

Merit and the Case for Immigration by Phil Gramm and Robert Topel - WSJ

“Based on research, immigrant households are more likely to have both natural parents in the household. Also, their children were half as likely to have behavioral problems at school.”

Trump Will Confront a More Vulnerable but Determined Iran “Coercive diplomacy” could leave Tehran to choose either a negotiated disassembly of its nuclear capability, or a forced one.

www.nytimes.com/2024/12/24/u...

“Trump is inheriting a nuclear buildup he helped create. Iran’s program was frozen after the 2015 nuclear accord with Obama. But Trump pulled out of the accord, predicted that the Iranians would come begging for another deal. They did not.”

Trump, Egged On by Musk, Condemns Spending Deal, Raising Fears of Government Shutdown The president-elect weighed in against the huge spending package after Elon Musk had spent the day warning Republicans not to support it. The blowup left the compromise on life support.

www.nytimes.com/2024/12/18/u...

Timid Republicans killed the bipartisan immigration bill, and now are going to cause a government shutdown, and deprive people of their paychecks during the holiday season. Because of Trump. And because Republicans are not patriots. Shameful.

Thank goodness Elon does not have high security clearance.

People spontaneously combust too infrequently by my count.

Mark, please tell me you’re not reading the Washington Post or the LA Times anymore. Come on man.

Except nobody is reading the LA times anymore.

Jill who?

And don’t forget his mismanagement of veterans charities. Hard to believe that anyone could imagine that Pete Hegseth is the best candidate for this incredibly important and complex job.

Trump shift in deportation message - WSJ
“One frustrated Trump ally said: “When you keep excluding people from mass detention and deportation saying ‘we’ll get the worst of the worst first’—guess what, that also happens to be Biden’s immigration policy.”

Hang in there, Nancy Mace.

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself

Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃

Easily the best description of him I’ve ever read.
