Department Of Greedy dipshits who couldn’t run a food truck let alone an Efficient government

Absolutely. Europe needs to get over the denial stage of grief for the US of old fast and get to the anger/acceptance/action phase without delay (skip the bargaining/depression phases) - I hope yesterday's disgusting remarks on Ukraine by Trump put a fire under leaders to act.

how is it that he manages to look like a werewolf AND a vampire

An Unchecked Trump Rapidly Remakes U.S. Government and Foreign Policy The president’s swift moves underscore the confidence of an administration with a much firmer grip on the levers of government than during his first term.

Utter failure to grasp what we are facing www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/u...

1. People lack the framework to recognize an attempt to overthrow the constitutional order
2. The lack of elites *acting* like point 1 is true makes it illegible. Without Ds behaving as if it's a crisis, it's not a crisis.

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

Don’t have a pic but Hungary/Austria is the same….

Was shocked at San Francisco, how bad it all was, the potholes, broken bits of concrete etc

Really?? Wow, I never knew that’s how it worked back then 😀

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

BREAKING: AOC blames crash on Trump / Elon

“I represent LGA Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week. Air traffic controllers, already understaffed, got Trump’s “buyout” this wk with a 1 wk ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.”

if dems dont all just blame trump for this and fill the void, the voters that decide elections will think the plane crashed bc of dei

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Corruption is the most important story in the world, part 188

So we got a two hour long lecture today on achievement, merit and excellence from a one season reality show star and a drunk who bankrupted every organization he ever ran.

It's not not his fault

The madness of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The depth of his extremism has not been fully conveyed to the public.

The media has failed the public on a crucial matter: the derangement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Often he is described in news reports as a vaccine skeptic, when he is far more than that. He is an extreme vaccine opponent.

And a note to the press-

It's not "do you have any comment?"

it's

"EXPLAIN HOW THIS ISN'T YOUR FAULT"

NYT headline: Trumps unorthodox approach to air safety is what we need right now

“In A Gutsy Move, The Administration Shakes Up The Air Safety Industry”

Trump Guts Key Aviation Safety Committee, Fires Heads Of TSA, Coast Guard The committee will technically continue to exist, but it won't have any members to carry out the work of examining safety issues at airlines and airports.

only appropriate political response here is to demand the white house explain how its actions aren’t responsible www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

It's cool how any other president posting "bad situation...NOT GOOD!!" about a catastrophe would have wall-to-wall press coverage about how he has to resign bc he's an illiterate caveman here by mistake, but for trump it won't even be covered at all– it would be unfair to our new god

The head of the FAA, Mike Whitaker, resigned on January 20 — one year into his 5 year term — after facing relentless criticism from Musk for not approving SpaceX missions quickly enough.

The Senate confirmed him unanimously in 2023.

No acting FAA head has been appointed.

this is the president of the United States in a crisis I just

“A Weak President”: Trump’s Chaos Strategy Implodes in Epic OMB Fiasco As Trump backtracks on his funding freeze, the author of a new piece on his “chaos strategy” explains why this is already failing—and how it reveals him as both authoritarian and weak.

"Trump is not a strong president. He is a weak president. He has authoritarian tendencies, but he’s weak. He’s mentally weak. He is vulnerable to all sorts of manipulation."

On the pod, @timothynoah.bsky.social is good on why Trump's hold on power is actually fragile

The President is asking rhetorical questions about what federal government aircraft was doing, as if there's someone else who is supposed to have the answer. This is his responsibility. If he doesn't even know the answers, it's because he and his unqualified appointees are incompetent.

Just a guy watching tv and posting, with no sense that he’s personally responsible for massively disrupting most of the institutions involved and the lives of their personnel

I’m more disappointed in Albo than most. But the notion that the illiterate, racist thug and Queensland ex-cop Dutton would be a better PM is a joke. Dutton is a flake, an inch-deep cynical opportunist funded by fascists like Gina Rinehart. He needs to be kicked into the dustbin of history.
