Tell us something we haven’t known for some time. We remember the John Barron years.

So true. And where is Kristi Noem getting all her money?

You can be sure the only thing they do is go on TV to defend the indefensible. They are incompetent and incapable of performing any of the jobs they were appointed to.

They want the power and perks without the governing responsibility or accountability.

This is the problem with hyper partisanship in government.

It’s not about which party can serve the American people better.

It’s about which side can stick it to the other.

It's all a reality show to them.
But, real people live in the real world and are suffering while the actors are in hair and makeup.

The whole regime is a Trump fascist game show of cruelty, incompetence and crimes against humanity.

We've been in the era of performative politics for a long time.

We've been seeing it for years even in our small town local nonpartisan places like township and school board meetings. To see it completely overtake national security and economy is horrifying.
