I debated whether or not to post the following, but fuck it, I am not sure how much longer I will be on this cesspool of hate and lies. Here goes:
I feel a sense of profound sadness. Contrary to what Kamala told us, we don’t appear to have more in common with each other than we do in difference. Remember Covid? We were never unified in how we handled the pandemic. We won’t be unified in what comes next.
Our original sin of slavery plagues us to this day. A majority of this country places more value on the color of your skin and your gender, than the content of your character. You are judged even before you open your mouth.
We are more a collection of tribes than a unified people, all vying for power. MAGA is a tribe - a personality cult - and we just elected the cult leader our king and the highest court made him unaccountable. Soon, there will be only one tribe. United in hate and division. Conform or be cast out.
I am a lifelong student of history, always have been. Therefore, a lifelong student of human nature. The times change, but human nature does not. What comes next, I do not know, but history suggests a calamity.
We elected the most unscrupulous, unqualified, illiterate and sociopathic man possible because people get their information in silos and are largely spoon-fed lies and propaganda. Most of the population are ignorant of facts and economics - and they like it that way. Trump represents the worst of us, full of hate, greed and misogyny. He will purge the government of competence and, eventually, purge it of conscience. It will become a tool of retribution and an extension of his rotten soul. The tools of violence will be turned inward and trained on us all.
Trump aligns himself, and us, with the worst actors internationally. America First will mean America Last. We will no longer be the reliable partner in peace and therefore no longer the reliable partner in conflict. The world abhors a vacuum. Without US leadership and stability, the world will erupt in fire and no one will be there to prevent the spread. The fire will reach our shores and it will be too late to do anything about it.
We are all about to relearn the lessons of history, the hard way. Winter is coming, friends. Do what you can to survive it.
Lol, at least he’s honest about the beat down.

"We got the shit beat outta us, I don't know what to learn, man. I was flustered the entire game, man. Couldn't make a damn layup .... I just wasn't being aggressive ... I'm not gonna move past this ... I can't throw a damn thing out the window. We just lost by like 100. So, you know, I'm fucked up mentally right now. We got a game in 2 days ... We'll see how we can bounce back."

My son is autistic & was nonverbal until age 3. He spoke to us in moans. By age 4, he was using basic words. Until age 6, he was in Occupational, Physical & Speech Therapy each week.
Yesterday, he gave a 5 min speech about cell phones in his college Speech class. He got an A.
We are being governed by IDIOTS:
"Mullin said the department was examining all possible causes, including a new AI-powered air traffic control system."

All of America is embarrassed by this corrupt buffoon.
This is the ultimate contrast between a coward sellout and a true hero.
Zelenskyy is the most patient and stoic world leader we’ve ever seen.
Hang in there, Ukraine. They won’t be in charge forever. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

In this election, Americans called on us to unrig an economy rigged against working people & fueled by political corruption.
To deliver, we need new leadership. This isn't about any one person – it’s about answering that call.
That's why I’m running for Senate Majority Leader.
I really don’t know how much more it will take for MAGA veterans to see the light …
When nobody was looking this Veterans Week, the house opposed all the leading Veterans Service Organizations and cut disability benefits for veterans with sleep apnea and tinnitus ratings — to “offset” and to pay for another group of combat wounded veterans.
One group of vets should never be pitted against another.
But this happened this week. And all Americans should be outraged.🚨🇺🇸
JFC, getting a divorce first wasn't an option?!?
Hey @grok , if you were Jensen Huang, which ONE would you choose? 👀
Be honest. No diplomatic answers. 😭💀

When nearly all of Twitter was praising MERRICK GARLAND I was writing daily that it was theater & Trump +his conspirators would walk. I was proven right.
I'm telling you that if Hakeem Jeffries&Chuck Schumer run the Dem party there will be NO CONSEQUENCES for Trump or his gang.
End of an era. He needed to leave. Total embarrassment.
I've owned Nvidia stock for more than 10 years. The company is more than the man at the top. The interim CEO is Colette Kress, the current CFO. Good choice.

⚡️ “Pete Hegseth is a piece of shit.”
— Paul Rieckhoff on Hegseth’s selfie and outrageous disrespect at Arlington Cemetery on Veterans Day.
Sorry for the language. Sorta. Sorta not.
🎙️I go deeper on Hegseth, Veterans Day, the election results, the NFL, and the 2028 presidential—all in my special episode today with my old friend and fellow vet Maryland Governor Wes Moore: IndependentAmericans.us 🇺🇸🫡

They are running scared. Picked a fight and now they are running to the military to protect them. Asshats.
BREAKING: US Attorney General Todd Blanche has been relocated to a US military base, joining a growing number of senior Trump administration officials who have moved into military housing over security threats from Iran, per NewsNation.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also moved out of his home and onto a military base after Iranian threats against his life two days ago.
Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller have been moved to US military bases as well.

Jared and Ivanka have no business meddling in the VA and giving out $10 billion in no-bid contracts with Cerner / Oracle. Outrageous!!!

Pulido on Deported Veterans: I find it unfathomable that we can’t bring them back. We have a president right now that doesn’t like bureaucracy and can do things with the signing of a pen, with just signing something.
Those people deserve to be in this country. Bring them back. Bring them back home.

She was only 19. Her whole life was ahead of her. 🕊️
This Veterans Day, we remember U.S. Army Pvt. Isabella Gonzales and every service member whose life has been lost to war.
Honor their sacrifice. Bring our troops home. 🇺🇸

Thank you to all have served in the US Military. This quote from Charlie Daniels seems appropriate on Veterans Day: “Only two things protect America, the grace of Almighty God and the United States Military. It will always be that way as long as America remains a free and sovereign nation.”

This Veterans Day, we pause to recognize and honor all who have served and the sacrifices veterans and their families make. We are grateful for the many ways they continue to contribute to their communities.
Today, we also remember Tomas Young, who was wounded and paralyzed while serving in Iraq. In the years that followed, Tomas became a passionate advocate for peace and justice. We continue to honor his life and legacy through the Tomas Young Scholarship, supporting veterans and their families in pursuing higher education.

As a Combat Veteran -
I want to give my respects to other Veterans,
Who understand the duty, honor and sacrifice it requires…
To uphold and defend the Constitution.
To protect and defend those who cannot protect and defend themselves.
Happy Veterans Day to my brothers and sisters I served with.
And those who served before me.
