Nothing says “law and order” like Trump cozying up to a Proud Boys leader convicted of trying to overthrow the govt. Apologies for sedition, hugs for insurrectionists.
"I love you guys." —Trump.

“China is eating the tariffs.

Trump downplayed recession concerns, saying, “anything can happen, demonstrating a nonchalant attitude about a severe economic downturn. He insisted that the price of eggs “were down 87% under his admin…”

“When you look at the stmts that were edited out of Trump’s MTP interview that aired on TV, it is pretty rich that he’s suing 60 Mins. over edits to Harris.”
-R Filipkowski

@wendinoakland ~ Absolutely 👍

@wendinoakland ~ Only if it is study enough to clobber nazi's. A fake skin is sustainable from what I can see and saves an animal.

"The conflict centers on the political future of lieutenant governor candidate John Reid, who resisted a week of pressure from some Virginia Republican Party leaders to step aside over allegations that he maintained a social media account with sexually explicit images of men."

g very well my friend and hoping laughter has filled your week end. ❤️

@CosmicTraveler ~ 76 here and still good trouble. I will certainly not fold for Fascists. Be well my friend. 💕

“The economy” is not some elite abstraction. “The economy” is the roof over your head and food on your table.

Hope everybody who cried about eggs and thought the economy was bad because a quarter pounder was cheaper 30 years ago really enjoys what's coming next.

US economy goes into reverse from Trump’s abrupt policy shifts |

@MostlyTato ~ Indeed. Those days the story tellers were valued as entertainment.

If there is a silver lining, I guess it's that there is no going back to "normal" at this point. The media might convince Americans that it can, even that it is.

But the world knows now that they have to find a different path. That's something.

@BackFromTheDud ~ That appears to be murica's main malfunction. If on in five American adults are functionally illiterate; then no wonder we are a nation of sheep headed to slaughter, Great comment

“The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standards of judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together.”

Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil

“There are no dangerous thoughts; thinking it-self is dangerous.”

Hannah Arendt

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.”

Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
