Obama wore a tan suit and Fox News set their hair on fire.
Now I want you to imagine Obama starting a war that creates a quagmire costing several hundred billion dollars.
Imagine Obama trading in his personal account to the tune of $22 billion.
Imagine the right wing outrage.
We all know what would have happened.
Instead these guys fall in line.
The hypocrisy isn’t even hidden anymore.
It’s just sitting there in plain sight and nobody seems embarrassed by it.
That tells you everything about where we are.
I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.
We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.
I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars.
And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence.
And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it.
The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.
I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.
This is a $23 billion industry. Every single owner is a billionaire.
There is absolutely no reason why they cannot convert every outdoor stadium to grass.
Other than pure greed. https://t.co/Zq9VXjwlpc
Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.
@GwashburnGlobe@BostonGlobe Thank you Gary all involved need to be called out like this. Just a reprehensible awful incomprehensible move.
I hope you all make Brad’s presser the worst hour of his life.
@BGlobeSports@Dan_Shaughnessy Thank you for not holding back, not that you ever would. This is a nightmare.
And Brad better prepare himself for what’s coming because he’s never felt anything close to the wrath of this fan base.
@john_jastremski@GarysheffieldJr JJ the Padres are not trading Miller.
They gave up their #1 prospect for him less than a year ago and he’s not a FA until 2030.
Preller is on thin ice with new owners coming in he doesn’t care about replenishing the farm system.
@TheFrankIsola it’s completely ridiculous that Ernie Clement is the leading vote getter. Toronto fans stuff the box and we’re stuck with a bunch of nobodies in an all STAR game.
America hates Donald Trump.
He is an abject failure in every conceivable dimension.
He is the worst President in our history.
Soon, the Trump name and the Trump family will be in the dustbin of history, reviled and ridiculed.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
