“Failure to hold accountable the grotesque abusers of our public resources for their personal gain would make a mockery of every taxpayer…We should expect nothing less than responsible, ethical government, not piggish thieves feeding at the trough.”

My boy looking out at the snow that's just fallen (and is still falling) . . . It's been the coldest winter in 120 years of recorded history in Fairbanks and we were hoping for spring.
Everything Trump does is tacky.
WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/
Wait, what's this arch a memorial for? The French Arc de Triomphe commemorates the dead from the revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. Is this one a memorial to the massive and tragic stupidity of the war in Iran?
This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇

Mamdani: Democratic socialism viable anywhere. “...this is a politics that can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country – that’s the working class, and it’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of [public policy]..." www.commondreams.org/news/mamdani...
This is the man who didn't know what "groceries" are. He's always been out of touch with ordinary life, and on top of that, he clearly now has some sort of dementia.
Trump has been losing it for a while now, but in the last few months it’s become far worse.
This has put all of us in danger.
Holy crap! So if you're Peter Mandelson, you can fail the security clearance and still serve as British ambassador to the US?

How about us Americans????? Does he know he's *supposed* to be working in our best interests? (OK, stupid question--he doesn't give a damn about us.)

Unlike the US media, international media are saying it like it is. The US is a global pariah:
If he thinks that image of him in robes emitting light beams from his hand is that of a doctor, he's very confused. But also, how would it be sane for the president to post an image of himself as a doctor?
If he thinks doctors dress like that, and have light beams coming out of their hands, he is seriously mentally unwell.
His "excuse" that the image was of him as a doctor hasn't made things any better--if he thinks that a doctor dresses like that, and sends light beams from his hand, then he is seriously mentally unwell.
Who's the bloke he's healing? Jon Stewart?
Last week, a worker one of Amazon's Portland area facilities died on the warehouse floor. Employees were told to look away and keep working.

OMG these people are shameless!!!! No evidence for this accusation, no pretence that this is anything but politically motivated.
Harry Sisson: Trump is having a mental health episode right now. He’s been posting on social media all night. He posted at: 9:49pm (Ai Jesus photo) 9:50pm (Trump tower on moon) 10:10pm (dumb meme) 10:32pm (news clip) 10:53pm (news clip) 12:43am (announcing Hormuz blockade) 2:35am (article about Biden) 2:36am (article on naval blockade) 2:37am (article on Rep. Swalwell) 2:37am (posted the same article about Biden again) 2:38am (article on his ballroom) 4:10am (article on Iran) He’s not sleeping, he’s pretending to be Jesus, and he’s posting all night. He’s not well.
