  • But… All it would take her is watching a video of herself delivering Trump’s BS to realize how mind-numbingly daft and lapdoggish she sounds. It really doesn’t take much self-introspection skills to feel ashamed at oneself behaving like that. And she went to university, so surely she must see it too. Nobody can be this blind to one’s shameful behavior. That’s what puzzles me so much.

    Unless, like I said, she’s a consummate professional and she chooses to leave her self-respect in the locker when she clocks in in order to do the best job she can.












  • Nope. They’re headed straight towards jackboot dictatorship.

    If nothing else, Trump and his henchmen are proving day after day that the Americans talking big about their god-given Second Amendment right that keeps the government in check as the reason to own so many firearms and overlook so many deaths by firearm was basically a pretense: this is literally the scenario when they swore right and left they would exercise it and they aren’t.

    All a bunch of phoneys, is what they are. And they’re getting the nasty dictatorship they richly deserve.




  • I’m astonished that there’s anybody left at the Central Bank to collect and process economic data after DOGE.

    I mean Musk managed to fire everybody who could put hard numbers on the humanitarian disaster caused by the shuttering of USAID. You’d think the first think he’d do - after firing those who investigate his companies of course - is to fire everybody who could shed light on the Trump economic disaster.

    And yet… apparently he didn’t.

    So the economy is going down the shitter is it? Color me surprised. The question is: do the idiot MAGA voters finally realize what they done did? I’m not even sure they do even at this point…








  • I have written off the United States myself. And I’m a former American. My personal date for the official death of the American republic is Apr 14 - the day Trump disobeyed a court for the first time.

    If you think I’m being dramatic, consider this: Kilmar Abrego García is still in a concentration camp in El Salvador.

    With that in mind, I’ll be pleasantly surprised if America recovers from this bout of MAGA fever, but I’m not holding my breath. Reich however, being still an American and still living in America, and still involved in trying to make Things Better™, obviously has a different outlook and is probably more hopeful than I am.

    At any rate, Reich is always informative and pedagogic, and always worth a watch.
