Imagine . . .

May 7, 2026May 7, 2026

IMAGINE IF THIS HAD BEEN HUNTER BIDEN


The US Air Force is buying interceptor drones from Powerus, a Florida company partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. The president’s sons profit directly from a defense contract awarded by their father’s administration. The commander in chief signs the procurement reforms, the Pentagon writes the checks, and his sons cash them.

All of this is troubling enough. But hell, as it turns out, has a basement. And a subbasement. And a parking garage.


Read in full . . . but not before bedtime.



IMAGINE IF JOE BIDEN HAD DONE THIS EVEN ONCE

Post by @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social — Bluesky


He’s now nodded off multiple times in front of an audience in the Oval Office. But I haven’t heard the corporate media mention it once. Imagine if Joe Biden had done this even once?! It’s mind-boggling!


 



IMAGINE

Imagine a day where we take Ukraine’s side over Putin’s, as we once did.

Where we contain Iran’s nuclear ambitions with years of painstaking diplomacy that end with a multi-national Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), as we also once did.

Where we somehow regain our standing as the civilized world’s indispensable nation — not its widely reviled bully.

Where medical research is not abruptly cut off . . . climate leadership is not ceded to China . . . billionaires are celebrated for their achievements — but taxed . . . billionheirs are celebrated for their parents’ and grandparents’ achievements — but taxed.

Where “public service” is not a grift but a calling.

Where civility and competence, compassion and integrity are once again the norms to which those at the highest levels of government aspire.
