There are two sides to the Dem party. The far left, the DEI progressives, have to realize that they lost and come to the center to compromise. There are still too many of them controlling the DNC. The moderate progressives will assert themselves at the midterms.

If you think TRUMP is not dangerous, just keep in mind that the Trump Organization Inc. over the years filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for six different businesses. There was a reason for that: the operating style and values of its boss.

What you are seeing from this Trump II administration, and its bended-knee Congress, is a dangerous, undisciplined, intellectually inconsistent farce that we will pay dearly for in the future. T. Friedman

What has distinguished and enriched the United States for so many years — and kept it the dominant global economic and military power — has been the ability to consistently attract that extra scientist or ambitious immigrant, that extra dollar of investment and that extra dollop of trust from allies

Trump thinks he's attacking hippie-dippy green energy, sticking it to the socialist environmentalist kids and standing up for good old red-blooded American oil and gas. Instead, they are unilaterally disarming America’s future drone force and ceding the key weapon of the modern battlefield to China.

Beijing abruptly halted exports of rare-earth magnets that go into U.S.-made cars, drones, robots and missiles. If Trump doesn’t find a way to strike a deal (“chicken out”) on some of his China tariffs, U.S. car factories may have to cut back production

Trump announced a series of global tariffs without any serious consultation with the U.S. auto industry. Along the way, he discovered that only about one-third of the parts of the popular Ford F-150 are made in America and cannot be replaced anytime soon.

Past Presidents did real damage to our country. Some were just weak; but all of them at least acted within the normal range of human behavior. Now we have a monster, a clown who doesn't care about our country at all. He will tear us apart and is trying to destroy us.

Old enough to remember when USMC/Army most revered experts in urban occupation, counter-insurgency, and so on taught that the most effective forces went in w the LEAST body-armor, visible weaponry, and other tells of *insecurity* By their measure, these ICE cosplayers are terrified of the public
