@TomSullivan He doesn’t know….the Emperor has no clothes…He’s a puppet that flounders in a TV interview where the questions go above 3rd grade. Who’s really in charge?

@georgetakei You’re a cabinet member. Your job is to manage budgets. Do your job!

@br00t4c In his view, it’s all about the glory of the “victory” for the leader and not about the people, the veterans, some of who gave their lives for that so-called victory.

Excerpts from Vice President J.D. Vance in a 2021 interview: American “conservatives…have lost every major powerful institution in the country, except for maybe churches and religious institutions. We’ve lost big business. We’ve lost finance. We’ve lost the culture….I don’t think there’s sort of a compromise that we’re going to come with the people who currently actually control the country. Unless we overthrow them in some way, we’re going to keep losing.”

Guess what is happening?

@tsturm @ai6yr No one in the ranger station to answer the phone and get either a rescue team or a help to get you out.

350 executive orders.
Wanna bet that he didn’t conceive even one of them?
The puppet with the big sharpie just signs them.
We know who’s pulling the strings on the puppet.

When you consider the number of people impacted by the fires in California, the value of property that is now in ashes, the cost of rebuilding coupled with Trump’s lack of concern and compassion, it would be an interesting challenge to the US banking system if most of those people just walked away from their mortgage payments.
What would that impact be?

It is almost inconceivable that in less than one month, with the aid of a black sharpie and an orange puppet, the nation once known as the United States of America has fallen apart and become a totalitarian oligarchy.

@GottaLaff I have never heard such a disrespectful statement. Ever.
All he seems to care about are profits and development.
Perhaps a part of Gaza should be left as it is today as a reminder what mankind is capable of doing to others, including women, children and non-combatants, without any conscience. We left an eye-for-an-eye mentality far behind in the past centuries. Or did we?

@georgetakei I don’t completely know the physics or psychology behind this phenomenon but it is so true.

#geography Saw this depiction of South America and thought how different it looks without political borders emphasized but with a relief version. Changes how you look at the Amazon basin

@HistoPol Basically, nothing we are doing is sustainable for the huge population we have.
Period.
Life is going to get worse.
Got it?

@lzg resisting making a comment because it will probably get me blocked in some way

@Npars01 @inthehands It’s all going to come tumbling down and they’re blind to see it from their lofty towers.
Both the people and the planet just can’t take it anymore.

Bees going crazy pollinating a parcha (passionfruit) flower

@gerrymcgovern And the planet

@gerrymcgovern AI will destroy us

@freemo Getting out of a 2-party system will take generational changes. Near impossible the way the electoral college is set up.

OK America. That includes you folks in Congress.
Please wake up and pay close attention to what is happening.
Our President-elect, Donald Trump is nominating people for each cabinet post and department who not only are poorly qualified for the position but have outwardly expressed opinions counter to the mission of each of those departments.
It is becoming quite evident that Donald Trump is hell-bent on destroying the entire government of the United States of America.
We need you to take action.

@Strandjunker Will be interesting to get the opinion of the medical community. So many of them sacrificed years of their life for us during COVID, now this.
