Trump tries to use tariffs to offset trade deficits. What about blue states that receive less in federal funds than they pay in? CA's deficit is $80 bn. Illinois' is $8 bn. How should they and other donor states offset their deficits? Those figures, I believe, are from 2022.

Trump blamed Pelosi for the lack of National Guard troops on J6 when she had no authority. Now he deploys troops in LA over the objections of Gov Newsom who has the authority. Proof that he had no intention of protecting Congress on J6. No troops for violence vs troops for peaceful protests.

Following orders is only cover to justify their participation. We know the difference between right and wrong and so do they. How can one ignore one's conscience and follow an unlawful order?

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

We've always thought Trump would cross a line, at which point, Republicans would step in, but we haven't seen it. Now, I wonder if there is a line our military leaders won't cross. We know ICE doesn't have one. Do our Generals have one? I guess we'll find out eventually. I hope so.

Share this. It’s why the White House demanding ABC get rid of Terry Moran. Moran has been suspended. What Moran said is accurate and true. Make sure his post makes the rounds.

True story…

And he tells how it was done so, you know, evidence

Elon, please explain. I won't hold my breath.

It makes him guilty of statutory rape.

I went down a rabbit hole about groupthink and realized it fits MAGA perfectly. Groupthink requires suspension of critical thinking to fit in with a group. Groupthink was responsible for the Challenger disaster and the Iraq WMD debacle. It's a powerful force and usually brings negative results.

Kristi Noem less than a month ago: "There is no scenario where Abrego Garcia will be in the United States again." (No matter what happens, bringing him back to the US is a climbdown for the administration)

31 years! Happy anniversary, Gwen. The kids and I are so lucky to have you in our lives.

Paul ain't wrong!

I'm waiting for the next Republican to find out something bad is in their bill they didn't know about, so they can express their faux outrage. There can't be just the two of them we've heard from so far, MTG and Mike Flood.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Just please don’t be an asshole. I post this in honor of all of the LBGTQ+ community, and sending extra love to a family member who lost the love of his life a few months ago, as well as to my transgender granddaughter who I love with all my heart.

The little ink drop was crying, because his mother was in the pen and he didn't know how long the sentence would be. Thank you very much. I'll leave quietly.

I'd much rather be scammed by some poor mom trying to feed her kids than the richest man in the world trying to add to his own wealth, but maybe I'm a sap.

If morons were idiots, then the name “morons” wouldn’t need to exist. You’d just call them idiots.

🤣😂🤣

www.the-independent.com/news/world/a... Texas cops are accessing tens of thousands of license plate readers to find a woman who had an abortion. They called it a self-managed abortion. Must be via abortion pill. If she's in another state, I'm not sure how would they have jurisdiction.

Beyond parody.

Americans should actually be VERY familiar with the Metric System. They've been using 9mm's in schools for years. (Sadly)
