Comments

  1. Australia stopping a Trump Tower there. Wonder, if suddenly Pentagon hampers the new RAN Frigate class for revenge . Although they are being built in a Japanese Shipyard. Will be interesting if the RAN Mogadishu class frigates get based in Darwin.

  2. “Dear Leader I’m going to toss you a softball to walk bacl a thing we here at Fox os going ro cost every member of your party thousands of votes on November.” (Plays clip ‘I don’t think about their financial situation at all”)

    “It’s a perfect statement. I’ll make it again. Everybody agrees.”

  3. The massive SunZia 3.5gw wind farm in New Mexico had its first near full scale operation overnight delivering power to Arizona and California.

    This delivery of renewable energy for up to 4 million homes brought to you by Joe Biden and the Democrats over fierce opposition from Republicans.

  5. FBI Director Party Animal took a group of a dozen pals on a snorkeling adventure at taxpayer expense over the grave site of 900 U.S. Navy Sailors who gave their lives defending Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941.

    Must have been down there looking for the Epstein Files.

  6. Sour Mash Patel had one of his defamation lawsuits tossed. This one was against former FBI agent now MSN(bc at the time) commentator Frank Figliuzzi who said on air, “Reportedly Patel is seen in the night clubs more than on the seventh floor of the Hoover building.”

    I heard Patel wore a Speedo snorkeling and there was no concern the banana hammock would fail. The Miami meat tent more like a Lil Smokie Lean To. The weenie bikini was teeny.

    “YOU HURT MY FEELINGS” is not actionable you sniveling waste of skin.

  7. @ 6

    Sour Mash Patel had one of his defamation lawsuits tossed.

    Virginia Democrats had their gerrymandering case loss appeal to SCOTUS tossed.

    Which was a sillier effort?

  8. @ 3

    This delivery of renewable energy for up to 4 million homes brought to you by Joe Biden and the Democrats over fierce opposition from Republicans.

    And from Native Americans. And from the Audubon Society.

    Line loss is typically the problem with remote energy-generating projects. This one converts AC current to DC in order to minimize line loss to, supposedly, only 3-4%. Lines used with solar installs lose 2V about every 100 feet.

    “Generating electricity” and “fulfilling promises” are two different things. Your news is 4 weeks old and the output isn’t reported.

  10. Senate
    Fetterman: Democratic base becoming ‘increasingly anti-American’

    “Well, I mean, you know, in 2016, it was much more about the minimum wage and some other very basic kinds of thing,” Fetterman said. “And now that’s, that’s just turned into much more standing with like Cuba, standing with Venezuela, standing with the Iranian regime and, and turn that into much more becoming more increasingly anti-American for me. So, my views really haven’t changed that much.”
    …
    “What’s really changed is the party,” he continued. “And in 2024, I was campaigning for Kamala Harris there as a Democrat. It was very clear we were going to lose. And a lot of the excesses that we’ve had in 2020 came back to revisit … the excess of the party back then summoned the second term of the Trump administration.”

    I’d have to add the incompetence of the Biden administration and the moronic choices of Boxcheck Momala and Tim Walz to that summons, but yeah. Liberals were unhinged.

    “And now I think we effectively can count that a lot of those traditional union members have already left the Democratic Party,” the Pennsylvania Democrat said. “And that’s where we are. And it’s been a serious realignment of parts of our base.”

    We’re about two union endorsements of the GOP candidate for president in 2028 from what’s left of the SPLC labeling the UAW and the Teamsters as hate groups.

  11. When did Bill Maher become a Nazi?

    Bill Maher warns of antisemitism uniting political extremes

    MSN
    https://www.msn.com › en-us › news › insight › bill-mah…
    Apr 11, 2026 — Bill Maher sounds alarm on cross-spectrum antisemitism. On his HBO show, Bill Maher pointed out that far-right ‘manosphere’ influencers and …
    …
    Bill Maher blasts Democrats over silence on antisemitism …

    Fox News
    https://noticias.foxnews.com › media › bill-maher-offer…
    2 hours ago — Bill Maher blasted Democrats over their refusal to condemn antisemitism, saying a “frothing anxiousness” exists for the extermination of …

    And there’s this observation:

    “Israel was founded on the idea that antisemitism made a Jewish state necessary … Can you honestly listen to this rhetoric and not see why that turned out to be true?”

    One of many brutal examples: he called out Columbia professor Hamid Dabashi, who wrote that Jews have “a vulgarity of character that is bone-deep and structural to the skeletal vertebrae of its culture.”

    Maher’s reply: “These are the kinds of statements Goebbels would have read and said, ‘No notes.’”

    Then he turned to his own party and delivered the kill shot:

    “Democrats, where are you? … Until you fix this issue, stop asking me why I’m harder on you.”

    Someone should ask Goldy what he thinks. A decade ago (((Goldy))) made a joke on Twitter about Nazis once wanting to kill his family. What does he think now that today’s American far-left wants to rape and behead his daughter?

  12. Someone should host a watch party for the 2-year anniversary of the Biden-Trump debate.

    YLB, maybe one of your “Asian” neighbors can do it, whaddya think?

  13. Proof positive she’s running in 2028 and she’s targeting the far-left vote.

    Pat Adams
    @PatAdams96

    Kamala Harris is now calling for Democrats to hold a “No Bad Idea Brainstorm” where they discuss:

    – Abolishing the Electoral College
    – Packing the Supreme Court
    – Making Puerto Rico and D.C. states

    “We’ve got to neutralize these red states from cheating!”

  16. For every canned, staff generated, scripted commentary by Maher condemning critics of the ongoing Israeli genocide as “antisemitic” there at least a half dozen live, unscripted confrontations with those critics leaving Bill Maher sputtering an incoherent dog’s breakfast of lies and racist invectives about Islam and the Palestinian people being exterminated by Israel.

    IDF caught using attack dogs to rape Palestinians is a real thing.

  17. Israeli Sport War April sees the biggest jump in the PPI since 2022.

    Almost three times higher than the anticipated jump of a mere 0.5%.

    By September when gas prices reach $10, we’ll all be “antisemitic”.

  18. @ 16

    For every canned, staff generated, scripted commentary by Maher …

    … there were many, many more uttered by Biden, who had absolutely no idea what he was saying.

    All while you claimed there was nothing amiss with him, Elijah.

  19. @ 16

    IDF caught using attack dogs to rape Palestinians is a real thing.

    If it was a real thing it surely would have been reported as news.

    Because it was not, it was published as Opinion.

  20. First the Congressional Black Caucus rejects his application to join, and now this:

    Joshua
    @RealJoshPerry

    When a 20-year incumbent like Steve Cohen bails, you know the internal polling is a disaster.

    Steve Cohen’s retirement is the sound of the Democrat establishment admitting defeat. You can only ignore the will of the people for so long before your job becomes obsolete.

    8:51 AM · May 15, 2026

    Justin Pearson would have primaried him, and he might not have even survived that.

    In his message to constituents Cohen said he had never even lost a precinct during any of his Congressional elections. Which sounds pretty impressive.

  21. The unanimously selected winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2026 just bombed Nigeria.

    ISIS Number Two Killed in Nigeria
    At the direction of the President of the United States and the Secretary of War, and in coordination with the Government of Nigeria, U.S. Africa Command conducted an operation against ISIS in Northeastern Nigeria on May 16, 2026.

  22. Say, why aren’t HA libbies upset about all of those missing 13,000,000 dollars from the King County homeless entity?

    And how was Goldy able to afford that new Range Rover?

  23. Always a hoot watching the far left and far right turn on anyone internally who questions their dogma…..

    Neither has any sort of allegiance to this nation. Their only allegiance is to themselves and lining their own pockets.

    Burn the system down, outlaw all political parties, and start over.

  24. @23 Burn the system down

    That’s the least intelligent thing anyone has posted in a very long time.

  25. @6 “Reportedly Patel is seen in the night clubs more than on the seventh floor of the Hoover building.”

    That actually might be a good thing. I’m for him not showing up at all.

  26. @7 Which was a sillier effort?

    Well, that’s easy: Patel’s lawsuit. Keep throwing those softballs, dumbfuck.

  27. @9 Coal pollutes.

    That’s why Republicans love coal. In their minds, the dirtier an energy source, the better!

  28. @10 The guy had a serious stroke. That needs to be taken into account when interpreting what he says.

    On a more rational plane, Republicans have always confused jingoism with patriotism. How many Republicans in Congress were patriotic when it was their turn to be drafted or go fight a war? Yeah, thought so. And Cadet Bone Spurs? Republicans line up behind a draft dodger. Virtually all of America’s chickenhawks roost in the Republican Party.

    Chickenhawks are people who never served but love to start wars and pay for them with the blood of other people’s children, preferably black and brown. I rank chickenhawks as among the most disgusting people on earth.

  29. @11 “a vulgarity of character” certainly describes Netanyahu, at least some members of his cabinet, and Israeli settlers.

    We’re not antisemitic. For decades, Democrats supported Israel, until it turned into a Nazi state. We still support Israelis who just want to go about their lives. What we don’t support is murder, land stealing, warmongering, and all the other shit that Israeli fascists engage in. That gang of Israelis lost my support when they started murdering journalists, doctors, nurses, aid workers, and schoolchildren. That isn’t being antisemitic, it’s being civilized.

    You love barbarism. Think on your sins.

  30. @13 I’m for all three. It was your party that threw compromise out the window and took the route of hardball politics. Now we gotta fight fire with fire.

  31. @16 Maher is a drug dealer. According to Wikipedia, he admitted to (bragged about?) paying his way through college by selling pot.

  32. @18 Yet somehow Biden didn’t chase away all our allies, embrace our enemies, gut DOJ and the State Department, and spend our money on wars instead of spending health care, child care, food assistance, and heating assistance for Americans.

    Biden, senile or not, was a thousand times better on his worst days than Trump is on his best days. And you, of course, voted for Trump (three times!) because you’re a dumbfuck like all the other MAGA voters.

  33. @22 And how was Goldy able to afford that new Range Rover?

    This from a troll who’s spent nearly 20 years perching on this website and has never contributed a penny for its upkeep.

    Spoiler alert: That’s what the “Make a Donation” button in the left-hand column is for.

  34. Why doesn’t Elon Musk invent tow trucks with massive batteries to charge vehicles at the side of the road? And they have to be fast chargers. And the electricity has to be free.

    Toyota bZ4X Club ·
    Jacquie Matson
    ·
    So, I learned a very hard lesson the other day. I was driving from Las Vegas NV to Reno NV for my nephews graduation. I put the address into abrp and the very first stop I had to go to were level 2 chargers. I looked at my miles on the car and how many miles to the next stop and said ok, I have about 20 miles extra to get there plus I’ve read there’s a buffer if the battery hit zero miles. What I did not take into consideration was the drive being uphill and desert winds.
    Needless to say, I didn’t make it. I was stuck on the side of the road for almost 12 hours waiting for a tow, when the tow truck finally came, the chargers in the next town were not even working. Probably why abrp didn’t have them listed, the tow truck driver was nice and towed us to the next town to get a charge. A drive that should’ve took me 9ish hours ended up being 32 hours and a $261 tow charge. Very hard lesson was learned.

    And not just for Teslas.

    P.S. Musk is a Nazi.

  35. @ 33

    That’s what the “Make a Donation” button in the left-hand column is for.

    I pay taxes to municipalities that grant funds to NGOs that run food banks that fed Goldy during the period between his firing by The Stranger and the commencement of his journalistic prostitution at the behest of Nick Hanauer. Same thing.

  37. 34,

    The Insane Failing Cult Leader’s proposal to allow China to invest over $1 trillion building U.S. EV plants and other manufacturing would likely wipe out the Lying Troll’s largest investment in equity aside from the real estate trust he inherited.

  39. 24

    People like you are the ones who fucked everything up.

    People like you hide in your home, hoping what’s coming isn’t going to touch you. You’re hopes will be proven futile.

    People like you no longer matter.

  40. All while you claimed there was nothing amiss with him, Elijah.

    Hypocrisy is like violence.

    If you only let the bad guys use it, the bad guys win.

  41. @34 We both dislike Musk and his cars, but for different reasons.

    P.S., none of the gas in Freeland, Washington, goes through the Hormuz Strait; 100% of it comes from Alaska. But the gas pumps in Freeland may go dry anyway, if Trump decides to sell that oil to China, which may be the only tangible thing to come out of his trip to Beijing.

  42. @35 Did you try to deduct those taxes as a charitable contribution on your tax return before your CPA stopped you? Just wondering.

    You’re a freeloader here.

  44. @39 You’re attributing to me vast influence I do not have. My power to fuck things up does not extend beyond buying the wrong laundry soap.

  46. #39 Why you so angry and bitter? Your anger towards other Americans is a part of what your leader is hoping for.
    Instead of uniting Americans he is encouraging division to conquer. .

    You need a hobby rather than spewing your anger and hate on here.

  47. Since promises from Amtrak CEO’s tend not to survive a leadership change, I didn’t expect the promise in 2017 that WASDoT would get the first batch of the upcoming rolling stock order to be fulfilled. With the arrival of the first train for a media event and final testing, one step closer. Was thinking of Amtrak 501, Jim and Zack from All Aboard Washington would loved to have been there today.

    https://youtu.be/x93EK0JmVGk?si=PVbo1P-MN57okuHT

  49. 46,

    These ignorant fuck sticks have always been nihilists. Nihilism is what American conservatism is. Trump’s complete failure has just forced them to finally abandon the pretense that they ever had any principles.

    They were always bent on burning everything down around them. They can finally openly embrace the truth about that now that Trump gives them some place outside of themselves to deposit the blame.

  50. 49

    So tell us what American liberalism is.

    And don’t just say “It’s the opposite of American conservatism.

    Be specific.

  51. @50 Liberals believe in using government to help people, instead of viewing it as an enemy.

    And government is helpful, when it regulates businesses that would otherwise cheat and rob consumers, makes health care available to people who otherwise wouldn’t have it, enforces workplace safety laws, and inspects gas lines to make sure they don’t blow up your house with you in it.

    And in case you haven’t noticed, government makes private property possible. Without laws, courts, and police, private property would be limited to what you could carry on your back and defend yourself.

  52. 50,
    Unlike you, Liberals have principles.

    We believe in the basic good purposes of people forming a society and then seeking an effective means to govern that society toward those good purposes benefiting as many of those people as possible.

    We accept that since any society and its governance will be the result of the work of people it will be imperfect. But we don’t allow that to be used as an excuse to abandon society and give into to violent anarchy.

    We are pragmatists. We don’t believe in crusading moral panic structured upon superstition and irrational fear. We are eager to let people who need to cling to their superstitions and irrational, supernatural fears continue to do so. But we require that they check those at the door when they enter the civic realm.

    We are firmly convinced by the tide of human history that, despite some disastrous stumbles and frequent imperfections, forming rational, self-governing societies is a well proven means to produce sweeping benefits leading to the betterment of all people. So yes, we completely reject your provably false claims that “government is the enemy”.

    Thus, American liberalism is the ongoing struggle to support these principles and enact them through government policy. It’s not, and never was, a promise to make everybody happy all the time. Instead it is the promise to make more people happier in the long run. And unlike conservatives, we have a really good track record to back up that promise.

  53. Because Republican Thomas Massie has doggedly pursued release of the Epstein investigation files that are being unlawfully withheld by the Trump DOJ, conservatives are spending a record sum on an outsider campaign to defeat him in his partisan primary this year to keep him off the ballot.

    Child rape. A conservative value, I guess.

  56. Always a hoot watching the far left and far right turn on anyone internally who questions their dogma…..

    What is far left? Anyone a nanometer to the left of Dino Rossi.

    What is far right?

    Fred Phelps..

    yawwwn.. it’s boring here in the grave.

  57. Awwww.. Look at this photo..

    https://wzmq19.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Trump-Xi-Summit-750×375.png

    On the right is a confident, self-assured leader, a despot and raging asshole yes but pretty secure in its beliefs and convictions.

    On the left is a lost little boy, looking like it’s shit its diaper. Envying the despot. Hat in hand, begging the other leader to bail it out of the mess its child raping put it in. I’m stuck Xi. Mossad has nasty pictures of me. Make Iran give up its nukes. I’ll look the other way on Taiwan.

    Shut the fuck up Donnie.

    Reminds me of another lost little boy from widbee, “colding” and “boxchecking” its way to November, running away from its record of voting for a guy who spewed “gook” while asking it for its vote. Strangely unable to spew “twat” and “cunt” since 10/5/2025. yawwwn..

  58. Been out of it while I’ve upgraded some computers.. Too many projects, too little time. Have fun fellow HA’ers while I’m otherwise engaged.

  59. Be specific.

    Let’s be specific about Joe Republican:

    Day in the Life of Joe Republican

    By John Gray Cincinnati, Ohio

    Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised.

    All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employer’s medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance, and now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Joe’s bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

    Joe takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo; his bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

    Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe’s employer pays these standards because Joe’s employer doesn’t want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed he’ll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn’t think he should loose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

    Its noon time, Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe’s deposit is federally insured by the FDIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe’s money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the depression.

    Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten mortgage and his below market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his life-time.

    Joe is home from work; he plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to dad’s; his car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers Home Administration because bankers didn’t want to make rural loans. The house didn’t have electricity until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn’t belong and demanded rural electrification. (Those rural Republicans would still be sitting in the dark.)

    He is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad lives on Social Security and a union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn’t have to. After his visit with dad he gets back in his car for the ride home.

    He turns on a radio talk show. The host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. (He doesn’t tell Joe that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day.) Joe agrees, “We don’t need those big government liberals ruining our lives; after all, I’m a self made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have.”

    Hat tip to Roger Rabbit for that classic.

  60. It’s, it’s the BallroomBlitz bust!

    Today the Parliamentarian told Trump to fuck right off with that shit. No ballroom. No bunker. No gold.

  61. The Israeli government is preparing to enact a new law that would criminalize most of the world’s Jews if they dare to pray at the Western Wall, and will put them in prison for seven years if convicted.

  62. This afternoon two Whidbey EA-18 jets collided in midair at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho; all four pilots ejected and are being evaluated for possible injuries.

  64. So at the first ‘official’ America 250 Airshow under Donnie, Pete and Real World…

    All four crewmen appear to have ejected safely. Given it was in Idaho and the large presence of the jets here it is possible the team is out of Whidbey

  65. @ 57

    On the right is a …

    On the left is a …

    Not in the photo at all is Boxcheck Momala. Americans preferred the one on the left.

  66. 62,

    In the final seconds it was an EA-36.

    Then, quite “suddenly”, it was a quarter of a billion tax payer dollars burning in the high desert.

    Won’t somebody think of the golden ballrooms?

  67. 64,

    It is NAS Whidbey.

    And we are again reminded that for some strange reason the USN has a long and very prominent history in… Idaho?

    I guess it’s as good a place as any to light $250 M on fire. I just feel like it should have been monetized and live streamed.

    And there’s at least one Boeing order that won’t be cancelled. 😉

  69. 67)I thought one of the people in my dorm when talking about government waste was joking when he said have they closed the Navy Base in Idaho yet. Then in a PNW History class learned about the training base on Lake Pend Orielle. The research station there makes sense, they do research on submarine hull designs.

  70. Was testing Gemeni with a little piece of Northwest Railroad lore, from 46 years ago tomorrow. As the ash was bringing air travel to a halt and closing pretty much every road in Eastern Washington. Amtrak could have gotten away with having Train 7 hold in Spokane, but ash was not affecting the locomotive prime mover, so it continued on to Seattle via Pasco and Yakima. Specifically, I was wondering could it be done today, with the newer locomotives, or was it specific to the F-40 series. While other locomotives of the time would be able to, the ALC-42 Charger, between the emissions controls, and being a more fine tuned machine, it wouldn’t be able to handle it. Specifically, the computer would shut it down as a precaution.

    Another reason current Amtrak trains wouldn’t be able to do what 7 did that day, was that when Amtrak started, and Spokane trains were consolidated at the old Northern Pacific depot, the connection to the former Great Northern Main to Stevens Pass at Latah Junction hadn’t been completed, so Amtrak ran the EB via Pasco and Yakima and eliminated the Portland Section. In 1980 they were already planning to return the EB to Stevens Pass, but on May 18, as The engineer slowed it to a crawl because of visibility, the crew was ordered wherever they paralleled a highway, to give stranded motorists a lift to the nearest town.

  71. Say, Railfan, how come Kathy Hochul thinks the rail strike in NYC is Trump’s fault?

    Do you agree with her?

  72. 71)It’s both, state funded, but because the LIRR is formerly a private railroad, it’s governed under the Railway Labor Act. LIRR is formerly Pennsylvania Railroad, sold to the state in the 60s as the PRR was getting ready for what turned out to be the stupidest railroad merger of the time, with New York Central. Merged in 68, in 1970 they were bankrupt. I have seen arguments from both sides of Penn Central. Some say two parallel railroads could work if it wasn’t for Northeast Industrial Decline.

  73. 67

    Because you have proven time again that you are an ignorant dumbshit, I will try and help you.

    The US navy has 2 installations in Idaho. One has been active for nearly 70 years doing sonar research and testing.

    Also, Naval aircraft routinely do training out of Mountain Home AFB. Because you know(or in this case, you dont know), not all Naval Aviation missions take place over water.

    You do realize that the Navy’s Top Gun school operates out of NAS(thats Naval Air Station) Fallon, right? You know, Fallon NEVADA! – not exactly on the coast…

    God damn you are a moron – it actually must be painful being you.

  76. 73)Some Growlers have Air Force crews I believe. Also, Mountain Home used to be perfect for such operations. I believe EF-111s used to be based there, and in the 90s Air Combat Command was experimenting with Composite Wings integrating different aircraft types. The 366th was probably the best, flying F-15Cs for Air Superiority, F-16Cs for SEAD/Wild Weasel, F-15Es for precision strikes, B-52s and later B-1s, plus it’s own tanker squadron. B-1s of the 34th BS were later sent back to the 28th BW in SD, as the 8th Air Force was re-integrated with the Minutemen force under Global Strike Command.

  77. 69,

    At the height of the cold war Rickover wanted an inland, remote, land locked testing facility for developing “silent” hulls. Because a Russian spy (or Trump campaign manager) can easily perform acoustical surveillance disguised as a fisherman in a row boat.

    And Idaho Falls is where NUPOCs and ETNs go to reactor school. Different reason, though. Rickover wanted to put them someplace where nobody was looking, and where an accident wouldn’t matter.

  78. @75 Yeah, U.S. consumers are paying soaring beef prices because of a cattle shortage, so Trump goes to China to sell our beef to Chinese consumers.

    Real smart thinking, there.

  81. IRS projects a loss of almost half a trillion dollars in revenue over the next ten years thanks entirely to the MAGA violent armed crackdowns and military reprisals targeting immigrants in U.S. cities that voted against Trump.

  82. You know, it’s a really tough call. But as I see it, we either continue pursuing an incredibly costly war without a defined strategy that we don’t really care about and that is wrecking our economy, or “we get nuked”.

    So I’m going with Trump on this one.

  83. @ 81

    IRS projects a loss of almost half a trillion dollars in revenue over the next ten years …

    Meanwhile, the Departments of Education and HHS project expenditure reductions of 7 trillion dollars over the same period for the same reasons.

  84. ✨ AI Overview

    The claim that the Departments of Education and HHS project 7 trillion in expenditure reductions over the same period for the same reasons is inaccurate. These agencies do not project 7 trillion in cuts, nor do they share identical mandates, as their core functions in education and health care are fundamentally different.

    He’s lying again.

  86. pure chaos is the goal.

    Conservatives don’t like democracy. They like fascism. And lick the boot of the head of their cult.

  87. 83% of Americans disapproved of the MAGA presidential pardons handed out to J6 terrorists.

    I wonder how they will respond to them being made into overnight millionaires?

  88. At least 78 of those pardoned last year have since gone on to commit brand new, completely unrelated violent felonies. At least 9 of the new criminal charges involve child sexual abuse.

  90. It really was not that long ago that any AG would have been impeached and removed from office in a week with broad bipartisan support in the Senate just for proposing something this nakedly corrupt.

    Republicans are the enemies of clean government.

  92. The perpetrators of the terrorist attack on a San Diego mosque are reported to have been associated with a well known, ultra violent neo Nazi terrorist group (no, not the GOP this time).

    The Insane Failing Cult Leader’s counter terrorism chief, Sebastian Gorka, had the group and all others like it removed from federal terrorism watch lists last year. So San Diego police, who had been tipped off that one of the perpetrators (a minor) might be suicidal and were seeking his whereabouts, had no federal support that could have alerted them to the possible danger of a targeted mass shooting.

    In fact none of these ultra violent, extremist right wing terrorist networks currently operating in our communities are being monitored or tracked by the federal government under the GOP. Yet these groups are generally understood to be responsible for more than 90% of terrorist attacks within the U.S.
