The command to use nuclear weapons is, by design, meant to be carried out quickly. The reckless insanity the world is now subjected to is on the shoulders of those who voted for this nihilist egomaniac over the option of a very calm, sane, extremely well-qualified and LEVEL-HEADED black woman.
They're not buying it in Germany. Denazification worked. Translation: "A fascist from the U.S. speaks at the Munich Security Conference of commonalities with Europe - and everyone breathes a sigh of relief. And we still ask ourselves how in the 1930s it could have gone so far?"

In Nazi propaganda, moral concepts were twisted. What was once GOOD ("compassion/humanitariansim") became BAD, what was once BAD ("brutality, ruthlessness") became GOOD. Propaganda makes strangers out of friends and family. Primary loyalty is to PARTY. More @ 41:30 www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7EZ...
It is not going away. Keeping asking: OBEY THE LAW: RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

My experience entirely. I am a Coloradan and our public lands are being trashed due to the DOGE staff cuts at our National Parks and National Forests. Neither bathrooms nor dumpsters are being attended to.
@ a "Die-In" this a.m., organized by Indivisible in Denver, to protest massive cuts to Medicaid, to the Affordable Care Act and to nursing care. If you haven't yet done so, CALL YOUR REPS. Your rep will vote on the Big Ugly Bill TODAY. Call 202-221-3141 and tell them to VOTE NO to this cruel bill!
This is so typical of the rw media visual communications model. They use coloring book level graphics as they don't believe their audiences can follow a policy discussion. They treat their listeners/viewers like little children.
It is an idea planted and we will have to continue to watch the land-grabbers like hawks. Three dozen of us protested today in CO @ 11,500 ft. Thanks for all you do, Rep. Stansbury. NM is SMART to have you as a rep.
Colorado's protected public lands BELONG TO ALL THE PEOPLE of the U.S. and are available for their recreation and enjoyment. The Big Bad Bill being rammed through by the GOP would SELL OFF our protected lands to the highest bidders (billionaires) for the purpose of funding their tax cuts. 1/2
