Or - and this is a stretch, I know - they could listen to people and fight for them.

a man in a suit and tie is holding a camera in front of a bookshelf . Alt: A salesman man in 70's era suit and tie, sideburns and mustache, is holding a camera in front of a bookshelf. He says, "60% of the time, it works EVERY time."

It's literally this meme.

The poll was 100% among "MAGA GOP", not the general population. Trump even posted it on his Truth Social account.

The Worst-Case Economic Outcome of Trump’s Iran War Oil shocks don’t only raise prices. They also destroy growth and jobs.

Destroying fuel-producing infrastructure is fundamentally different from temporarily blocking a fuel transit passageway. When infrastructure is gone, it’s gone. It could take years to rebuild. And this is not theoretical.

Terrifying numbers in latest annual survey of federal workers from @ourpublicservice.bsky.social.
For example, DoD workers' trust in Hegseth is in the toilet.
Only 11.5% of Army employees say their dept's political leaders "maintain high levels of integrity." Similar numbers for Navy, Air Force

The First U.S. Combat Troops Arrive in South Vietnam | Council on Foreign Relations What began as a small deployment of U.S. Marines to protect an airbase at Da Nang in Vietnam escalated into one of the most divisive wars in U.S. history.

"....to protect an airbase at Da Nang in Vietnam...."

Generations of Marines would be interested to hear that boots on the ground on an island is not boots on the ground in combat circumstances.

Q: You don’t regret that people might’ve lost important income to support their lives?

A: No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit.

Q: Ok. Did you reduce the federal deficit?

A: No, we didn’t.

Everyone but Trump Understands What He’s Done Allied leaders know that any positive gesture they make will count for nothing.

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember

An Epstein Files edition of this would be good. Global and US running scores.

Billionaire Marc Andreessen says he has "zero" introspection, and that the idea itself is a modern invention.

CNN: Peter Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist and MAGA donor, is in Rome this week for a series of private lectures on the Antichrist. It’s an event that the Vatican, and the pope, are treating with caution.

The ability to buy anything on account of having too much money wrecks a person's brain just like a zero-gravity environment destroys muscle mass and bone density.

Human bodies are designed for resistance and they liquefy rapidly without it.

You could easily play this while standing in a line. No table needed. Such a fun simple paper and pencil game. Put down the phone and pick up a #GladdenDesign game. (After watching my review of course. 🤓)

Great idea. Plus cabinet members with roles that intersect.

Declaring “no quarter” is a war crime. Pete committed a war crime this morning. bsky.app/profile/bcfi...

"Future U.S. leaders will operate from a weaker position & will face an uphill battle to restore Washington’s reputation as a self-interested but fair-minded partner. Predatory hegemony is a losing strategy, & the sooner the Trump administration abandons it, the better."
Very interesting wide view!

Finally, we're getting a sequel to Team America - World Police

This lady is more intelligent than Trump’s entire administration.

I hope she runs for president one day….

Dude nails the moral bankruptcy of MAGA. 😂🤣👇

Donald the Dove, Hillary the Hawk By Maureen Dowd April 30, 2016

happy 10-year anniversary to this razor-sharp political prognostication

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.
