I remember when Trump nominated Rubio. Even the MAGA influencers were punched in the gut by it. (They flipped, of course). But we're getting exactly what was expected by Trump hiring Rubio. Neocon mania. That's why it hurt back then. Picking Rubio was one of the earliest signs that Trump wasn't serious about fixing our country.
The Left never learns that communism doesn't work. The Right never learns that nation-building doesn't work. Mamdani won't create utopia in NYC. Trump won't re-make Venezuela. But the American people, in both cases, will bare the cost of their failures.
The opportunity was there to shrink the state, free Americans, and stop the endless wars. Trump was voted in to do that. He went in the opposite direction. The state expands, Americans are economically crushed...and the invasion of the world continues.
America was destroyed by Empire, because it’s always Empire First. What happens out there always has higher priority than what happens here. If Trump thinks he’s going to “run” Venezuela, it means Venezuela’s problems become our problems. Even $38 trillion in debt and a swiftly declining standard of living for us Americans will not stop the Empire (i.e., the interests that control it). Invading the world continues…
Trump rings in the New Year with Netanyahu...because of course he would... A day later... image
Watching Republican politicians criticize Mamdani’s “collectivism” and give lip service to “free markets.” Republicans despise free markets in practice. They pass Big Bankruptcy Bills and grow the government like a noxious weed. They may not pass out money to daycares, but they’ll pass it out to tech tyrants, merchants of death and foreign nations. Republicans are “collectivists” too. They just don’t use the word.
The Gaslighter In-Chief is at it again. You know, it only takes 2 seconds to get this from Grok: The most recent official BLS data show a net loss of 58,000 American manufacturing jobs from January to November 2025. image
If a nation that does this is a 'global leader in artificial intelligence'... It's a bad thing for the globe. image
Poverty is a result of intangible things - greed, injustice, war, exploitation… Government policy cannot eliminate these intangible things. But it can help to alleviate them, if the government itself is lawful and just. The issue that we face today is that the government EMBODIES all of the above (greed, injustice, war, exploitation) to the extreme. We’re not just a few “policy” tweaks away from improving the condition of poverty. We have a systemic problem. image
Trump and the Republicans are so bad, that they'll most likely lose the midterms. They deserve it. Trump should be impeached ... but for his REAL crimes; not the usual fabrications that Democrats are so famous for. image
