The Nobel Prize hasn't been worth shit ever since they gave it to Obama for doing nothing other than being Obama ...
It's been a joke at least since Kissinger. Seems obvious that the "anti-war president" (yet another war criminal) is pining for one as well to match his bête noire.
Really a sobering article. It's impossible to understand how Trump's destruction of America is still seen by some as laudable (see the video in a different forum of MAGAs marching like lemmings to YMCA).
—-FTA:
Nick Levendofsky, the executive director of the Kansas Farmers Union, has been lobbying to preserve the food programs, but when he speaks publicly he often gets responses from people saying farmersâ troubles are their own fault.
âTrumpâs tariffs badly injured Kansas farmers in his first term, and your members were stupid enough to vote for him again in 2020 and 2024,â read one letter he received from a descendant of Kansas farmers living in Florida. âEvery farm bankruptcy that comes â and come they will â will be a direct consequence of your members voting for the guy who already hurt them once.â
âOne of the saddest lessons of history is this: If weâve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. Weâre no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. Itâs simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that weâve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.â
This is such an incredibly sad story, which is unimaginably going to happen more frequently without the necessary funding at NOAA...
We'll need more (not less) help from FEMA...
All made worse by the loss of regional healthcare across the US due to the bill signed yesterday...
It would be easy to point to the "elections have consequences" folks and remind them that the states most in need of these services going forward are deep Red, but that's just not an acceptable outcome when you're talking about dozens of 8 and 9 year old girls at a summer camp. They needed more protection, and we all let them down.
