@NASCAR@RFKracing@Chris_Buescher@LFC Y’all had Hegseth wave a flag. I watch every damn race. I go to races. I bring my family. I’m done for a while. Maybe a long while. Enjoy the rest of your season.
Because it's such an apt, visual metaphor for the entire Trump presidency. He blasts in, does something without thinking through the consequence, it blows up in his face in the most blatant way possible, and his supporters turn to conspiracy theories/blaming other people instead of placing the responsibility for where it belongs.
@EWErickson Dude, your guy is literally falling apart in real time. He’s an incontinent, senile old fool who embarrasses the office and the nation on a daily basis.
Let John F. Kennedy shine again, alone in his class, as he should!
"Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave." JFK
"For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal." JFK

I am proud to endorse this incredible slate of candidates for statewide office.
I am confident that each and every one of these leaders will fight and deliver for Georgia families. Let's get to work.
America is its people.
So if America only works for the wealthiest few while millions struggle with rent, healthcare, wages, debt, and basic dignity, what exactly are we being asked to celebrate?
The flag? The anthem? The myth?
Real patriotism is not pretending everything is fine because powerful people wrapped themselves in red, white, and blue.
Yes, people sacrificed for this country. That’s exactly why it’s offensive to watch the country they sacrificed for get turned into a machine that serves billionaires, lobbyists, defense contractors, and political grifters while ordinary Americans are told to clap louder.
Loving America should mean wanting it to live up to its promises.
Not demanding musicians perform gratitude on command.
Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

the biggest enshittification that ive seen post-2020 is every customer-facing job running off a skeleton crew cause every company realized that they can *technically* survive off of it and increase their profits in the process
That's also why I chose not to do field epidemiology.
I cant convince people that they should care about their fellow man. That your fate (and health) is linked to your fellow man. People cried and begged for the COVID vaccine on their death beds after mocking it beforehand.
