Idiocracy.
If Trump's GOP isn't thoroughly repudiated this November, the U.S.A is over.

🔥🚨HARD NEWS: Here is lost footage of Donald Trump’s 2004 SNl Sketch titled “Donald Trump’s House of Wings.” This sketch is still missing from all SNL DVDs and streams.

@RealRickRule Yes. Many Americans go to Mexico for cheaper and effective govt-subsidized treatments.

Madam: In that regard, private equity reminds me of congress. Increase taxes, incur debt, reduce service.
The difference is that compannies controlled by private equity must convince their customers to buy, volutarilly , congress can and does coerce.
Look in the mirror, and you will see the real problem

Let's be clear: Red Lobster went bankrupt after private equity bought the chain, loaded it up with debt, and gutted it.

@RealRickRule No. I conflate state-of-the-art medicine with robust government funding. For-profit healthcare is an obscenity.

@RealRickRule Society has functioned for thousands of years.
The question is: do you want a heart surgeon on call, or the magical entrails of chicken?

@RealRickRule And yet, there is no:
- Internet
- libraries
- emergency rooms
- military victories
- interstate highways
- police, fire, coast guard, humanitarian aid, medical research, justice system, diplomacy, education, financial system backstopping (the Fed)...
w/o government spending.

rettungsgasse — translation: "rescue lane"
Tansu Yegen@TansuYegen
🇩🇪Absolute masterclass in road discipline on the German Autobahn! When traffic comes to a standstill, drivers instantly shift left and right to create a Rettungsgasse, a crystal-clear emergency corridor right down the middle, so ambulances, fire trucks, and rescue vehicles can fly through at full speed. It’s the law in Germany and Austria, and it literally saves lives. This is how you do it!

🇨🇦 is yet to decide on whether to double down on its commitment to the F-35 and to instead go with Sweden's Gripen fighter jet.

The F-35 was supposed to be unkillable. That was the whole point. Lockheed Martin spent thirty years and four hundred billion dollars, the most expensive weapons programme in human history, building an aircraft that the enemy simply could not see. Not on radar. Not on infrared. Not on anything. The F-35 was not just a fighter jet. It was a theological statement. America’s way of saying: we have moved beyond the reach of your missiles, your sensors, and your prayers. Iran apparently didn’t get the memo. Somewhere over Iranian airspace on March 19, 2026, an IRST system, infrared search and track, the kind of sensor your grandmother could probably explain, looked up, found the F-35, and locked on. Not because Iranian engineers are geniuses. Because the F-35, it turns out, is extremely hot. All that engine. All that thrust. All that carefully sculpted stealth geometry, and the bloody thing glows like a kettle. The heat signature data Iran now holds is not just embarrassing. It is a gift that keeps giving. To Moscow. To Beijing. To every procurement ministry on the planet that has been quietly wondering whether to spend the money on systems designed to kill this aircraft. The answer, as of this week, is yes. And here is the bit that should really worry the Pentagon. You can patch software. You can redesign coatings. You cannot reprogramme a pilot’s brain. Every F-35 driver who takes off from here on knows, actually knows, that someone down there might be able to see them. That changes everything about how they fly. Caution replaces aggression. Hesitation replaces instinct. Four hundred billion dollars. And in the end, it was done in by a heat sensor. Tremendous. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

He expects reimbursement for damage he caused.
To successfully invoke the 25th ("involuntary declaration," s.4) , you need a majority of the cabinet and the VP.
If by Congress vote, 2/3 maj req'd.
I sense the pressure is definitely mounting.
Dude is el loco.
The Bulwark@BulwarkOnline
Q: "If the United States is working to secure the Strait of Hormuz…Is the United States getting back to being the world's policeman?" Trump: "The United States should not be very much involved…Why aren't we being reimbursed for that?"

Trump’s State of the Union and Marco Rubio’s speech at the Munich Security Conference reveal a sweeping — and deeply troubling — vision for American foreign policy. Historian Gerald Horne (University of Houston) and journalist Jonathan Katz (The Gangsters of Capitalism) join Paul Jay to break it down.
What emerges is less a foreign policy than a neo-colonial project: regime change in Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba; a reordering of Europe under American dominance; and an ideology rooted in Christian civilization, white supremacy, and the Nazi theorist Carl Schmitt’s concept of Grossraum — the world divided into spheres where great powers do as they please.
Katz decodes the fascist dog whistles embedded in Trump’s speech — including a number that traces directly to Nazi message boards — while Horne connects Rubio’s Munich address to a broader rollback of the anti-colonial gains of the post-WWII era and the civil rights movement at home.
Is this the return of unapologetic imperialism — a neocon project stripped of any pretense of democracy and freedom? And what does Trump’s self-styled role as “king of the world” through the so-called Board of Peace mean for the United Nations and global governance?
