I am so stinking tired of the intentionally chaotic evil being forced on my country by the Trump Organization and all its enablers in Congress and elsewhere. God, please give us the strength and courage to overcome.

Significant in many ways, with the 2 most significant being we did/were not able to protect our base, and the other being we allowed Iran to totally mess up our logistics system. Major screwup by this Pentagon.
After six months of relative quiet and not acknowledging reports of damage, top military officials including the acting Navy Secretary and the Chief of Naval Operations are admitting NSA Bahrain got wrecked.

HOLY SHIT - Tapper plays Johnson footage of GOP candidate Brandon Herrera describing moms as "cum trophies," mentions he called Nazi machine guns "the original ghetto blasters," & asks Johnson how he can support him. Mike says "he has run a very effective campaign ... that was his persona online"

Right after the election, I had a conversation with a broker and asked him if he believed the market was tied to actual people having jobs and investing or just really rich people and corporations moving money back and forth. Looking at the economy, more than ever, I’m convinced it’s the latter.
More than ever, I’m convinced that the market runs purely based on vibes.

I sure as hell hope that a Democratic administration, if we are ever lucky enough to have one, has the guts to rip this shit down.
Donald Trump’s 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery doesn’t have congressional approval. It doesn’t even have final sign-off from the commission that oversees DC’s monuments.
But of course, that’s not deterring the president or his apologists.

Donald Trump is the king of stolen valor. He did it again today. And it makes perfect sense that he’s the king of stolen valor because Trump is the very antithesis of duty, of service, of honesty, of selflessness, of sacrifice, and of devotion to/belief in a cause greater than oneself.
