Rick, 45 does not operate from a strategy of well-planned actions. He’s a hustler, a hunch gambler with no real goals. His “we’ll see” method of negotiation indicates no strategic planning occurs. The unintended consequences that we are experiencing, will cause significant disruption in our lives.

Aaron, he doesn’t understand the complexity of the economic system at any level, let alone the international intricacies. This fool is producing devastating unintended consequences because he isn’t a strategic planner, just a stupid hunch gambler. He is driven by self interest, not whats best 4 US.

It is clear in 45’s jumbled, unprincipled, chaotic regime that political skill and knowledge are critical elements of a successful presidency. The unintended consequences of a shoot-from-the-hip style have nearly destroyed our economy, relationships, and leadership role worldwide. It’s a clown show.

Thugs and idiots for sure, but the lies go much farther than that. Trump and his henchmen manipulate data, alter photos and maps, distort court findings, offer alternative facts, misinterpret law, and lie regularly. Most is done intentionally and resonates well beyond the borders of interpretation.

Trump and his test crash dummies are wrecking our country. The economy, environment, medical care, world status, economic and military alliances, and social structure inside our country are all being devastated due to incompetence. The chaos will have consequences for years.
Rep senators… You know!

Mullin issues, a sweeping statement containing well thought established economic principles based upon his mastery of international exchange theory. This theorem could only result after thoughtful conversation with Tommy Tuberville. What the hell is wrong with these people?

It’s difficult to believe that one man can say things that are as stupid as he looks. Keep talking you ignorant ass. Listening to you will help remedy this situation.
Congratulations Alabama, your representation in the Senate is something to be proud of.

Alabama has to be really proud. They have elected as senator, possibly the most stupid person to ever hold the position. The guy needs a porch swing,some sweet iced tea, and a shut the hell up about anything else. He is proof that the depth of stupidity has no limit.

45 is a convicted felon who should be in jail. All his actions are directed at destroying our democracy and establishing an autocratic oligarchy. This isn’t a difficult puzzle to put together. Those opposing his actions will need to demonstrate resolve, and must never accept his unAmerican actions.

Lankford often sounds reasonable and appears to be a defender of our values and traditions. However, his actions belie appearances. He is always a follower of the felon, an antagonist to democrats, and a deflector when asked to support the rule of law. How can he sleep at night? He knows. He knows.

For several weeks, I’ve been asking friends neighbors if any agreed that United States should pursue Canada hostilely or economically. Not one person has agreed with this. Americans do not want to pursue Canada. It’s just that bullshit leader we have and I apologize that this has come about.

Tom, “The Rye of Wrath” in this case. In a position that requires the most accurate, professional, and disciplined leader, we do indeed have a “whiskey, soaked rodeo clown”. This guy is an embarrassment to the entire country. He and others involved in that Signal exchange must resign.

Morgan, Where is the video today? I look forward to the daily reminder. We must never forget!

With all the bullets made by the orange felon and his cronies, when are the dems going to fire the gun. Where is the outrage? a call for demonstrations? the beginning of Senate hearings? Mark Kelly and Jason Crowe seem best suited to initiate a public movement to loudly and clearly call for action.

And initial assessment, regarding Hegseth, Leavitt, Rubio, and others, must begin with “How foolishly incompetent are they?” Caught with both hands and their tongue in the cookie jar, they try to lie and blame others. 45 taught them well. There should be resignations by all of those
Involved.

Let’s be fair Paul. 45 says “I don’t know a thing about it.”
Have you noticed, he never acknowledges any control over negative issues. “You have to ask ______ about that.” We are in a mess, and the mess is winning.

Andrew, let’s not be so harsh. This was just our military operations being flung around on text messages. What harm could that cause? And, 45….. “I don’t know a thing about it.” I’m sure he will remove those responsible and get to the bottom of this embarrassing debacle. Wanna buy a bridge?

Agree, thank you for the clarification. The brashness of Trump and his surrogates will eventually cause a backlash from Americans. Most understand Russia is not our friend, and I hope that’s somehow the US does take a new, sterner path on Russia.

Maria, I don’t get who “he” is. Of course, Eng and Europe shd expect US backing of peacekeeping missions. Americans would support this idea, however, 45 might offer peacekeeping support to Russia. This is crazy. Everyone knows that America should fully support Ukraine and demand Russian withdrawal.

This is a much better idea. A big improvement over the Swati car.

As an elementary school student in the 60s, my class collected pennies to support VOA. Why would these programs be canceled? I’m just baffled by this action. Putin must’ve asked our felon pres to get rid of it. This is bat shit crazy and I see no explanation that could possibly justify this action.

Lindsay Graham is an ass. What most people want right now is for Trump to leave. What an embarrassment - a total utterly disastrous embarrassment. With his head up Trump‘s ass, Lindsay can’t see anything anyway. I would love to see polling on this situation. Trump and Vance screwed up.

Rubio has little option except to resign. Surely he has more character than to acquiesce and move on a if 45 was right, or that this is acceptable.

Trump bullied an alley. “You have to be thankful.” Trump physically pushed Zelensky. Trump and Vance are not Americans and lack the skill, talent, and ability to lead. How embarrassing.

Putin has his allies in the West Wing. 45 is unAmerican and does not reflect the will and attitude of the American people. What a total embarrassment.

How utterly embarrassing. Trump demonstrated that he is unfit to lead. He’s a fool who lacks all skill and ability to lead. This was totally unrepresentative of what the American people expect in a leader.

In less than two months, Trump has destroyed institutional stability, redesigned the executive branch, and removed military leadership, thus eroding any ability to resist authoritarian rule. If I see this so clearly, why don’t others? Where is the outrage? Where is our principal leadership? Resist!

Cutthroat capitalism at its finest. Discover a weakness and exploit it to produce a one-sided benefit. JD Rockefeller and Cornelius Vanderbilt would be proud. As an American citizen, I want no part of such a plan. This does not reflect my values and my ideas of what American democracy is.

Hedgepeth saying that CQ Brown is “not the right man for the moment”? If that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black.

Bongino is an excellent example of the unknowledgeable, unqualified, and unskilled appointments being made by 45 throughout our government. Typically, senior positions, get there as a result of a career spent learning what is needed to execute the job. Now we see loyalty is the only qualification.

I wondered the same thing. Where is the outrage? What are Hakeem and Chuck doing? We have some good spokesman. Get Pete on the stump every day explaining and providing context. Let AOC have a shot at describing the current situation in a more public forum. We all know what’s happening. Do something!

Ah, NO. Moscow Mitch will be remembered as the enabler of the most corrupt regime in our history. Think of it…. He voted in favor of a felon on every important issue and only voted against a couple appointees when the results were clearly in favor of the felon and his vote had no impact.

Haley knew, and she still curtsies to the felon.
comment in response to

Tillis, Thune, Murkowski, Collin’s, and unAmerican Mitch all know and still permitted 45 to fill our govt with loyalists who will snap to attention when Dear Leader establishes an authoritarian regime. They knew. It’s on them. And maybe the worst of all is Rubio with his disgusting submission to 45.

I have lost faith that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries can hold others accountable. I don’t sense they understand the fear and distress gripping many Americans. The absence of outrage and focused action plans by Dem leaders results in additional fear and worry. Do something!! Crockett, AOC?

Mark, What? All of the current grants are the result of a process in which costs are charted and justified. The outcomes of grants must meet specific goals and objectives which guide the construction of the grant. No one earning a grant should have to modify it due to such a request. You know that.
