The lies just keep coming, and the economy keeps straining for mostwhile the fat cats enjoy their stockmarket gains. Might, at some point, Americans look back at Biden, when we had a quietly aging president but you didn't have to be afraid of what our government might do next, as the good old days?"

Hegseth shows the fear and hatred of transgender people that stems from deep insecurity over his own masculinity. The performative exercise, exaggerated manly dress and tatoos, the war on DEI and trans, the testoterone shots for soldiers: all scream "I need to shout I am a man to cover my doubts".

Actually, millions of pregnant women got the vaccine with no complications to pregnancy. Lying in the GOP now is not just routine and totally shameless, it is competitive: seeking to tell the biggest, craziest whoppers that will support Dear Leader.

4/Did anyone tell Trump this? Doesn't anyone tell the American people what we have started?

3/Iran's economy is 24th largest in the world: roughly same as Australia, larger than the Netherlands. This is a country with resources for war. More than 3x the economy and 2x the population of Ukraine, which is doing pretty well against Russia. And drone technology so good it supplies Russia.

2/Iran's pop is 92 million. Iran today, for all its troubles, is a much larger, MUCH richer country, with a larger scientific/professional/military, than Iraq in 2003. THIS IS NOT A PUSHOVER. Just showed they now have ballistic missiles that can reach European capitals. ...
