Trump mobile has been introduced. I'm guessing that the only ringtone available would be "Hail to the Chief" and that the Russians and Chinese would have direct access to your data.

I know I'm getting old ... I remember when the political parties ran on platforms, not on hate speech.

My heart grieves for the City of LA... For the peace protesters, law enforcement, those who are the targets of ice enforcement and yes, even those in the National guard. it must be horrid to stand there and point a gun at your fellow citizens in a fight you did not choose.

PASS IT ON: If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

For those of you who are following the Billionaire Bromance Break up, don't let it distract you completely from the rest of what this administration is trying to pull off under our noses!

Bring Marcelo back to Milford!

The so-called big beautiful bill is roughly a thousand pages long. War and Peace by Tolstoy is 1,093 pages. Do we really expect that all of the US Congress was able to read this bill in Time to vote at 1:00 in the morning? Most folks can't even get through war and Peace in a year's time.

Dear Joni Ernst... "We're all going to die" is only pertinent when it comes in the form of a Prince song.

Remember in the Mango Menace's first term when he gushed over his love affair with Kim jong-un? I don't think we realized at that time that he was going to try to change the USA into a second North Korea

Today marked another deadly plane crash. This marks the 33rd such crash in 2025. Yet the Republicans feel their big accomplishment is to pass a bill that deregulates silencers? Shame!!

I recently saw that Elon musk has pulled back from the DOGE "agency". So riddle me this Batman, given the news that DOGE continues to burn and slash through the government, who the hell is running it?

So Moody's has downgraded The USA's perfect credit rating due to the large amount of debt we have. And yet Dear Donnie continues with his ping pong tariffs. So if we had perfect credit before, and it's less than that now, how is he making America great again?

I find myself confused. How exactly does the White House Faith office align with separation of church and state? And is it simply one faith, or are any at all welcome? The fact that The word "faith" is not plural would indicate a single religion.

Judging by the pages that the current government is from moving from various websites, they are attempting to remove all trace of contributions from anybody that is a non-white cisgendered male. www.cnn.com/2025/04/06/u...

Sign seen at the Milwaukee Wisconsin protest against Elon, " eliminate the invasive GOP muskrat ". Absolutely love it!

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies. In Denmark: - Health care and college are free.   - The starting wage is $22/hr. - Paid parental leave is 1 year. - Paid vacation is 6 weeks.   - All workers get pensions.

In listening to the conversations regarding "signal gate" what I'm not hearing is the fact that none of the high those on the thread followed military procedure in terms of securing information.

Dear GOP You were repeatedly warned that none of these candidates had the experience or knowledge necessary for The cabinet positions they were nominated for and yet you approved them anyway. And now you're trying to say that you are surprised about signal gate? Give me a break!

Yep, Tangerine Toddler truly knows the best people! www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

"Don cor Elon" admits to the using ketamine for depression. Interestingly, one of the side effects of the drug is that the user has no memory of the time that passed while they were under the influence of this drug. A brief from the DEA follows. www.dea.gov/factsheets/k...
