Liberals are demonized by Republicans, but JFK defined what it really means
JFK said, “If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal", then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” ― John F. Kennedy, Profiles in Courage.
The above is, in essence, a modern paraphrase of the Sermon on the Mount: dignity for workers, healing for the sick, shelter for the vulnerable, and justice for the oppressed. In a secular sense, liberal simply refers to a posture that values freedom, equity, and the protection of human dignity.
Nut job Trump imagines himself nuking the earth from the a space station...and declares the moon to be part of the U.S. Want proof he's an dementia ridden psychopath? Read this...
Wannabe Emperor Palantine, aka Trump the Dark Sith Lord, spent 10 hours on Sunday shitposting, including one showing him surrounded by black armored robotic soldiers, who would obey any order he gives. Another showed a robotic army with the words, "GIVE THEM NIGHTMARES". Here's Heather Delany Reese's description of other posts: "In another, Trump stands alone at the center of another dark, dystopian scene, on what appears to be the presidential seal. He is dressed in a long black coat and red tie, with two enormous black armored robots rising into the sky through the fog behind him. The robots are covered in Americana imagery, including American flags and eagle insignia. Closer to him are dog-like fighting machines, each with a bright red glowing eye. Across the bottom of this fake image, in large gold letters this time, are the words: “THEY WILL DREAM OF US FOREVER.”
He went from science fiction to real life and back again, posting about declaring the moon above our planet as property of America: “THE MOON IS OURS. ”He shared a cartoon of himself smashing the entire country of Iran with a giant American Flag hammer. There was a post with examples of the new UNITED STATES SPACE FORCE SERVICE UNIFORM that looked like it was stolen from a 1970s or 80s dystopian science fiction film about a galactic empire meets fascist regime."
And, more and more. 10 hours of delusional, narcissistic, psychopathic weirdness. He's mentally gone, as Ty Cobb, Trump's own former White House Attorney said. Erratic behavior, an inability to finish sentences, frequent confusion, illogical trains of thought, and word-finding difficulties. “The President,” Dr. Gupta concluded, “is exhibiting all the signs of dementia.” 60 delusional and dangerous shitposts in one day. I've watched my own parents get dementia, my wife's mom as well, and other people I've known well, but they were given treatment and given a legal guardian long before they went this far because they aren't competent to make serious, important decisions.
So, it's no surprise that he's made a mess of everything, and is easily manipulated. One of the first things to do is to take away their car keys. But Republicans refuse to do anything about it. That's why the upcoming elections are so important. We've got to elect Democrats who will "take away the car keys" from Trump.
No surprise here...ICE prosecutor is a LITERAL white supremacist
And you know Trump will not remove him because he reflects the views of Trump and Miller. In fact, his views were made public in Feb 2025, and he was temporarily removed, then was returned to his position in Jan 2026. Given that Stephen Miller is the chief architect of the racist ICE policy and Miller's own emails show he is a white supremacist Christian nationalist, putting Rodden in this position to pursue the Trump/Miller racist agenda makes sense to them. It is repulsive and shameful, yet it's going on in plain sight.
When we take back control of this country, Trump, Miller, and ICE will pay for this
And the very same people who support this...and Trump...claim we are a "Christian nation". And that doesn't include people being held in local jails, and in other countries. Remember, the vast majority of these people are normal, law abiding, were holding jobs, paying taxes, and liked very much in their community. They are NOT criminals. Deaths, mistreatment, and cruelty are accepted by these Nazis.
Hegseth has destroyed our military because of his incompetence and narcissism...the Department of Defense and the Armed Forces are in turmoil because of Hegseth
Hegseth has fired or forced out senior officers across nearly every service, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Navy's top admiral and the Army chief of staff. The Washington Post says more than two dozen top officers dismissed under Hegseth, who has remade nearly the entire Joint Chiefs. Only the Marine Corps and Space Force chiefs he inherited are still serving. New York Times: Hegseth has also personally removed at least 45 officers from promotion lists this year — an extraordinary intervention in a system traditionally insulated from political leadership. NBC News: Hegseth has blocked more promotions in recent weeks, including more than a dozen Black, Hispanic or female officers across the services.
WaPo: commanders overseeing Europe, the Pacific and Latin America — along with the Navy's top officer — formally objected to extending forces for the Iran war. They warned that prolonged deployments are degrading their ability to confront threats elsewhere. The Navy's top admiral told Hegseth that barely one-quarter of its destroyers are ready to deploy, according to the Post. Its only dedicated Pacific carrier has also been diverted to the Middle East. AP: the war has consumed 65% of the U.S. Patriot interceptor inventory, squeezing supplies for NATO and forcing the Pentagon to preserve weapons that would also be critical in a war with China.
Now, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigned because of the above reason. Trump has answered the upheaval and chaos by reaffirming his support for Hegseth — and asking Congress to entrust his Pentagon with a record breaking 1.4 trillion dollar defense budget.
Top General says "No" to using troops at the polls. Trump will use ICE to intimidate voters instead...
General Dan Caine: “The Joint Force has no plans to send Federal military personnel or Federalized members of the National Guard to polling places during the 2026 elections.”
He also said there are no plans to use military personnel to seize ballots, voting machines, or other election materials. Let us hope this is true.
General Caine has to care about the law because the convicted felon Trump doesn't.

CRUELTY AND CORRUPTION ARE THE HALLMARKS OF TRUMPISM...
REPUBLICANS: THE PARTY OF COWARDS AND TRAITORS...
Democrats taking over both houses of Congress is the beginning of the end for these evil people. And they know it, so they're trying to rig the elections.
WELL, HE'S AS MASCULINE A TRUMP...WHO WEARS HIGH HEELS AND BRONZER...
No doubt, he's meeting up with the other MENSA members. Or, he's strolling through Grinder, or maybe looking for underage girls. Hey, he's proudly MAGA.
DONALD TRUMP, ON THE OTHER HAND, SHIFTED MONEY INTENDED FOR ST. JUDES CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL TO CURE KIDS CANCER TO...HIS OWN BUSINESSES...
Via Forbes Magazine: Eric Trump said he could use the Trump Golf Courses for free to raise money for St. Judes. "That's not the case. In reviewing filings from the Eric Trump Foundation and other charities, it's clear that the course wasn't free--that the Trump Organization received payments for its use, part of more than $1.2 million that has no documented recipients past the Trump Organization. Golf charity experts say the listed expenses defy any reasonable cost justification for a one-day golf tournament.
Additionally, the Donald J. Trump Foundation, which has come under previous scrutiny for self-dealing and advancing the interests of its namesake rather than those of charity, apparently used the Eric Trump Foundation to funnel $100,000 in donations into revenue for the Trump Organization.
And while donors to the Eric Trump Foundation were told their money was going to help sick kids, more than $500,000 was re-donated to other charities, many of which were connected to Trump family members or interests, including at least four groups that subsequently paid to hold golf tournaments at Trump courses...the person who specifically commanded that the for-profit Trump Organization start billing hundreds of thousands of dollars to the nonprofit Eric Trump Foundation, according to two people directly involved, was none other than the current president of the United States, Donald Trump.
BUT...JABBA WAS BETTER LOOKING...ALSO 6'2'" AND 215 LBS...
Trump the Hutt....
TRUMP IS FAKE MOURNING DOLLY PARTON...BUT IN REAL LIFE, DOLLY WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH TRUMP...
Dolly supported the Black Lives Matter movement. Dolly loved being a gay icon and gave her undying support to the LGBTQ community.
She gave millions to help the people MAGA republicans pretend to support but only in front of a camera or microphone. They're hypocrites. She wasn't. Because Dolly embodied what conservatives will never have within them to truly do. What Jesus taught her to do. She loved everyone.
She helped the poor. She created the Imagination Library while MAGA was banning books. F.U. MAGA...she's not one of yours.
AND BLACK ANTIFA PILOTS FLEW MANY MISSIONS IN WW2...
When they flew their fighters as bomber escorts, they lost fewer bombers than ANY OTHER ESCORT GROUP. My dad, a determined Antifa soldier with Patton's 3rd Army witnessed the liberation of the Ohrdruf and Buchenwald concentration camps. Trump, well, we must admit, was awarded the Purple Bone Spur.
TRUMP SECRETLY SENDS THOUSANDS OF HORSES TO THEIR DEATH...THE CRUELTY AND INHUMANITY OF MAGA KNOWS NO BOUNDS...
Under his administration, thousands of wild horses have been rounded up with helicopters, packed into metal trailers, trucked hundreds of miles, and sold off to be slaughtered, the New York Times reported Thursday.
“The [Bureau of Land Management] is saying to the public that slaughter is off the table, but they’re doing it in plain sight,” Clare Staples, who runs a wild horse sanctuary, told the Times. “They are turning a blind eye. And the only ones getting punished for what is going on are the horses.”
The Bureau of Land Management has been quietly exploiting a legal loophole that bans the slaughtering of wild horses by selling them cheaply to third parties to be sold abroad and slain, according to the Times' analysis of government records.
After Trump took office, the bureau more than doubled its sales to more than 3,700 horses, according to the report.
The mustangs are sold at a huge loss, as the government can spend $3,000 to capture a mustang it will sell for as little as $25 — meanwhile, the buyer can make up to $750 per horse at a slaughter plant...
The bureau has pitched buying a gas chamber to kill the horses...But Trump has long been pushing for the horses to be killed — calling for Congress to act in Project 2025...

TRUMP COMMUTES THE PRISON SENTENCE OF BILLIONAIRE DAVID GENTILE...WONDER HOW MUCH MONEY EXCHANGED HANDS?
President Donald J. Trump has commuted the prison sentence of David Gentile, the founder and former chief executive of GPB Capital, ending his incarceration roughly 12 days after he reported to federal custody. According to the Justice Department and court filings in the Eastern District of New York, Gentile was sentenced in May to seven years for his role in a scheme that prosecutors said raised about $1.6 billion from investors while overstating the performance of the private-equity funds he managed. The early release has drawn scrutiny from investor advocates and legal scholars, who say the case highlights both Mr. Trump’s use of clemency in complex financial matters and the long-running efforts by thousands of retail investors to recover their losses.
A jury in Brooklyn convicted Gentile and co-defendant Jeffry Schneider in August 2024 of securities fraud, conspiracy and wire-fraud charges. Judge Rachel P. Kovner sentenced Gentile to seven years and Schneider to six, and ordered both men to forfeit millions of dollars and pay restitution. Prosecutors said more than 10,000 investors were affected and that losses reached into the hundreds of millions. Civil complaints filed by the New York attorney general and the Securities and Exchange Commission stated that executives used investor funds to cover firm expenses and, in some cases, personal spending, while continuing to market the funds using inflated valuations.
Gentile remained free on bond as he pursued post-trial motions, but those efforts were unsuccessful, and he reported to a federal facility on Nov. 14, according to Bureau of Prisons records. Within days, the White House prepared and approved a commutation that eliminated the custodial portion of his sentence while leaving the conviction intact, according to two people briefed on the decision and federal officials familiar with the process. He was released shortly before the Thanksgiving holiday, a rare intervention so soon after sentencing, legal analysts said.
The White House has not publicly detailed its rationale, and the text of the commutation. The full story is on the Intellectualist substack: THEINTELLECTUALISTOFFICIAL.SUBSTACK.COM
US NATIONAL DEBT IS ALREADY 40 TRILLION...AND TRUMP IS THE REASON WHY. AREN'T REPUBLICANS SUPPOSE TO BE "FISCAL CONSERVATIVES"?
Government debt is on track to hit historically high levels and, at its current growth rate, will by 2028 be nearly equal in size to the U.S. economy, the Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday.
The debt is projected to grow to 96 percent of GDP by 2028. Trump added $8.4 trillion in his first term plus $2.25 trillion 2025 alone.
