Why is what Donald Trump is doing not shouted out as EXTORTION? Is extortion illegal? YES! Why are people afraid to call it what it is? Is he extorting GOP Congress members? Is he extorting every one he threatens? Did he extort President Zelenskyy? Trump's deal making is by EXTORTION.

We have a lot of "false prophets" today. They are really just narcissists. People who I truly believe were once good Christians have been turned by the Grand Poobah. When he saw weakness, he pounced! When he saw greed, he encouraged it. When he saw hate, he danced... and he danced... and he danced.

We need someone to file a class action law suit and/or RICO charges against Donald Trump for threatening/extorting elected officials so they only vote as he demands. That actually fits the Patriots Act definition of domestic terrorism. Was Liz Cheney a victim of domestic terrorism or just politics?

Kristy Noem said the Dept of Homeland Security was going to "liberate" LA. Remember when Putin said Russia was going to "liberate Ukraine from Nazis"? We cannot have liars in charge of law enforcement.

Republicans are to America, what Israel & Russia are to the world. If Russia & Israel didn't exist, weapons contractors would go out of business. The GOP are ANTAGONISTS who keep people from being happy & take from everyone so employees will keep going to work & networks can keep selling airtime.

"The leader of the band is tired & his eyes are growing old, His blood runs through the freezer & to Elon he is cold, His life has been a poor attempt, to imitate a man, He is the current president, the leader of the land, He is the world's worst president, this leader of the band."

Trump is a bizarre man. His brain is broken. He thinks everything the gov owns is now his. He acts like our tax dollars are his. He seems to believe he can negotiate for personal gain using OUR tax dollars & assets. Musk was an idiot, not genius. Hope getting on stage was worth what it cost him.

Musk has no leverage vs Trump. Trump has Saudis & QATAR in his pocket, who Musk needs since seem to be heavily invested in Tesla/ self driving vehicles, AI, Robots, etc. & Trump can demand they sell off? Trump can use tariffs to sink T stocks, pull gov contracts, seize SpaceX by Eminent Domain?🤔

Is America suffering from "Stockholm Syndrome"? I know the Democratic party is. The right has falsely defined the left & battered 80% of American citizens w/ "trickle down economics" lies for decades. I don't know many people who make $400K/yr, but those making under $400K=54% of US tax revenue.

Americans are shocked at Trump admin treatment of veterans regarding loss of healthcare, defunding cancer research, firings from gov jobs. Disrespect. Open your eyes friends. Trump thinks soldiers are suckers. He is tied to donor Betsy DeVos & brother Erik Prince. Trump & Hegseth want mercenaries.

Before the Civil War, it appears John Wilkes Booth spent time in Vermont w/ Robert Todd Lincoln, wife to be Mary Harlan & friends. Stephen A. Douglas grew up in Vermont. History speaks of Mary Todd Lincoln & son Robert falling in love w/ Vermont after a visit there in 1864. Appears it was earlier.

A few years ago, Heritage Auctions sold an 1800's photo of Robert Ford & Jesse James that was verified by a forensic artist, for $30,000. I have a similar original tintype in my collection. Where is that forensic artist? 😊 SOLD MINE

Elon Musk's MO has always been to find existing businesses looking for investors- often start-ups, he then heavily invests in, makes himself CEO, puts his friends/allies on the board, then kicks out the original owners & makes the company his. Raider or pirate? This time Trump may do it to him.
