I know it shouldn't be surprising, but it is still something at just how blatantly and deliberately similar so many of these propaganda posters are to Nazi propaganda posters. Just eerie, and very, very disturbing. The mindset of the people who ordered this shit has got to be terrifying - I...

It's interesting to note that most right-wing media in the Renee Good shooting seems to be moving past "the ICE agent's life was in danger" to "She shouldn't have been there and had it coming" line of defense. And I'm sure that any future murders, shootings, incidents from ICE or other...

Yep. Saying that is just an admission from Congressional Republicans that nearly all of them are gutless cowards without the spine to stand up to Trump. "We won't take on Dear Leader, but maybe Democrats will win a majority in this year's elections and they can do it for us!"

No, it does not. These idiots are going to end up shutting down many food banks that are many people's last hope of getting some food. It's Social Dawinism in action.

As that painting represents America's Manifest Destiny, I guess it is pretty appropriate for this administration, although certainly not in the positive way they think. See those Native Americans being pushed west off their ancestral lands? Yeah, I'm sure that the new right-wing public school...

Underneath all that bluster he is so incredibly insecure, just like most of his base. Bluster in public, yet insecure and fearful of everything in private.

Except that he's likely to screw up the economy far more than boost it, as the criteria he'll use to appoint Powell's successor will be less how competent or capable he is and more how blindly loyal and how much of an ass-kisser he is. Trump hates experts, which is one reason why MAGAs love him...

God, what bullshit. As I (and others) have pointed out, the USA has guaranteed Greenland's security for decades - at least since the Second World War, and so has Canada, for that matter. We've been willing to help Denmark defend the island for generations, and it is no more in danger of being...

And just think - Powell's term as Fed Chair ends this year, and Trump will get to pick his replacement with a GOP-controlled Senate that has so far rolled over for 90% or more of what he's wanted to do. By this time next year we may be listening to pronouncements from new Fed Chair Stuart Varney...

It's obvious to anyone who has studied the history of Europe in the 1930s and 1940s that many of the propaganda posters and images like these being put out by Trump 2.0 are blatant ripoffs of Nazi and other nation's fascist propaganda posters of the 1930s. The images and wording are strikingly...

Fox News has loved doing that sort of thing for twenty or more years - find some anonymous history instructor at Podunk/Smallville community college somewhere and play up something controversial that he said and make it seem as if all Democrats or liberals agree with him, even though no one...

And it's not just Zen, I would argue that seems to be the view of most MAGAs, given their endless ranting and raving about this topic in their replies to articles on the shooting over the past couple of days, especially once it became clear that Renee Good wasn't threatening the officers or...

Well, he has attacked Minnesota, so I guess he's getting around to America here at home.

Maybe, but I do think that things have changed so rapidly in just the last few months - hell, the last few weeks - that even some foreign doctors are going to start having second thoughts about coming here. Things are rapidly deteriorating in terms of foreigners living here, especially if they...

I'd love to know who the "many" people are who have met Trump who have been positively impressed by him after meeting him and changed their minds about him in a positive way. To the contrary, most of what I've read since 2016 have been people who had never met or dealt with him before who come...
