I was worried seeing as how I was the only one voting at my polling place during lunchtime today.
It's not official, but it's done. Fairfax is huge and is solidly blue.
Makes sense. Arlington National Cemetery would probably not exist in it's current location had the US Government not seized the property from Robert E. Lee during the Civil War.
We are 7 weeks into the most egregious stock market manipulations of our lifetime.
Orchestrated by a crooked president and his underlings.
Billions siphoned via false proclamations of ceasefires and peace talks.
With the criminals in charge, every day is a crime spree.
The $100 billion Iran is projected to make every year from these new tolls will go a long way towards advancing their nuclear weapons program.
You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar
I don't know, guys. The president started a war with no plan and crashed the world economy, is building immense monuments to himself, is making billions off the presidency, and is now attacking the Pope while presenting himself as Jesus. Maybe the political class should abandon the inside voice.
First Canada
Then Australia
Then South Korea
Now Hungary
Next — America
Fascism is failing - democracy is winning
He's considered to be center-right.
Looks like the claims that the worldwide shift towards authoritarianism was unstoppable were greatly exaggerated.
Trump: do as I say, or I will bomb you back to the stone ages Iran: best I can do is this 10 point plan where you give us everything we want Trump: deal! FoxNews: Trump is a master negotiator
They say there's an idiot at every negotiating table, and if you can't tell who it is, it's you. Iran knew exactly who it was when they sat down at the table.
What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠
If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.
Either (1) a humiliating defeat, leaving America in a weaker geopolitical position and Iran a stronger one, or (2) a brief pause, as incompatible narratives and demands lead to more shooting.
No matter what, it’s one of the stupidest, most unnecessary, most harmful US foreign policy choices ever.
The OMG OBAMA SENT PALLETS OF CASH TO IRAN people have gone strangely silent.
This is a total humiliation.
He called for an "immediate and safe" opening. He didn't say anything about "free". That $2 million toll will probably be implemented, and we'll all pay the price.
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
Tomorrow: "He was bluffing. I misoverestimated."
As an American, there are always disappointments to register and arguments to engage; amid the chaos of our battered, monied attempt at self-governance, dissent is constant.
But this feeling of being utterly ashamed of America and embarrassed to the core by its president is new, raw and unnerving.
Active duty military should take note of how they treat vets before they agree to follow any illegal orders. They'll be thrown away once they no longer serve them any purpose.
it speaks to the criminal nature of Trump 2.0 that nobody close to him is ever actually fired because it's too risky for them to be fully on the outside. Instead, they get reassigned to cushy fake jobs to keep them onside.
WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it.
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.
They didn't even pretend to do an investigation this time. Their fascism is on full display.
They were probably instructed to do this, and now they're taking the fall for it. Let this be a lesson to all the other members of the military who are considering following any illegal orders.
Trump has denied most disaster aid requests from Democratic-led states.
I like that the stock market going down by a bunch is called a “correction” like it is good this is happening, we have learned from our drunken, profligate ways of investing in a company retirement plan
absolutely incredible. Trump might have done more damage to American imperial power than anyone ... ever?
