If I wanted you to do My work I'd have made you competent.

They won the election. They control the White House, House, Senate and everything in your life is more expensive than ever. Instead of helping you, this is what they're focused on.

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

Ted. Look at our deficit. Look at how much we pay in interest every minute of every day. Look what that is doing to interest rates.

It’s Econ 101, you either have to raise revenue significantly, cut spending, significantly. Or both.

Talarico committed to support the Break Up Big Medicine Bill. That was a pre requisite for my doing the event with him this week.

If this Hawley/ Warren bill passes, we would reduce the deficit. We would cut costs for patients. Drug pricing would drop like a rock.

Yet not a word from you in support Ted. Why ?

A true capitalist would understand how these economics work. They wouldn’t ignore the fact that our debt levels pull money away from business. And consumers.
If you truly want to do what is best for business, and the economy, we are going to have to raise taxes and cut spending.

The best place to cut spending is by removing the HealthCare middlemen that are Too Big To Care, which is exactly what the Break Up Big Medicine Bill does

You ready to whip up support among republicans ? Or do you prefer people dying because they can’t afford care , and the economy continuing to slow down because we are having to print money to financial engineer our debt obligations.

What say you Ted ?

This is Maj. Alex Klinner. He was killed March 12 during Operation Epic Fury. His widow said Sunday death benefits aren’t being provided as the war wasn't formally declared. MAGA is too weak to actually declare war & is leaving dead soldiers’ families holding the bag. Pathetic.

Finally, a White House tweet I can agree with. Donald Trump is indeed the most sinister, diabolical snake that has ever slithered on American soil.

And it is astonishing that the whole country didn't see it immediately, given that he has been a despicable serpent his whole life.

[Decoding Fox News @DecodingFoxNews]

According to Caroline Sunshine, Republican strategist, Barack Obama was covert communist. He was also the most divisive president in the history of our country. No really Barack Obama - communist. They tend to just throw that word around.

"You have a Biden administration that is failing the American people..."

So i have shared plenty of voicemails during the J6 stuff, including one wishing my 6 month old son would “crawl out into traffic and die.”

MTG didn’t care until it happened to her

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

MTG: When Trump called me a traitor, I got very direct death threats against my own son. When I told the president and texted him about it explicitly, sending him pictures of these death threats, he told me, “It’s your fault. You deserve it.”

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

Trump’s reflecting pool project is still an eyesore! Two months after he promised it would look like a swimming pool or the Caribbean in time for the 250th birthday of this country on July 4 it’s almost empty. No signs of vandalism.

[Rick Reilly @ReillyRick]

You're Donald Trump. Your self-esteem bucket has a hole it in the size of a fist. So you need to fill it hourly. "I'm the greatest president ever!"
... drip, drip ...
"I just won the war!"
.. drip, drip ...
"Dolly really liked me!"
... drip, drip ...
What a sad way to live.
