This unnecessary war screwed allies across the world. Was just in the Philippines, who are paying a huge price for Trump's stupidity. Energy shortages are never good, but now have reduced patrols aimed at China.

The Reagan counterrevolution only deepened
America's problems. It turned the country against
government and against taxation. Remember, after eight
Republican years in the 1950s, with George Humphrey
as Secretary of the Treasury, the highest marginal tax
rate was 91 percent. Contrast that with the situation
last year when the rich acted as if raising it from 28
to 32 percent were the end of Western Civilization.
So overwhelming is that opposition, that politicians
who privately see no other alternative to raising taxes,
remain silent, because to favor tax hikes publicly
would be political suicide.

Spat at, threatened and kidnapped: British Jews tell of rising antisemitism British Jews have described to BBC Panorama how they are experiencing a rise in antisemitism.

Reprehensible. It’s going to take everyone standing up against this vile hatred and rank bigotry, to extinguish this tide of abuse.

We all must do our part.
It’s intolerable. It has to end.

If you believe a war criminal on the run from the ICC and a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and financial fraudster (who is most likely also a pedophile) are waging a moral and just war in the Middle East right now, I have some bad news for you.

You’re an idiot.

John Roberts is and always has been Sam Alito with better PR

he has declared himself and his fellow republican justices the unelected rulers of America and they have wielded their power in favor of making Donald Trump of all people untouchable

the court as it exists today must be broken
