My thoughts on the Dems needing to get their act together. There are a lot of good people in the Democratic party but few are very exciting. Offhand I can only think of AOC and Jasmine Crockett and they are both pretty divisive. We need an exciting uniter. We need another Obama. Badly.

Dear @schumer.senate.gov Resign. Really.

Just to be clear. I have many Canadian friends. I love them dearly but I don't want Canada to be part of the USA. I want it to be an ally. If Trump persists in trying to strongarm Canada into becoming the 51st state I will probably have to disavow my American citizenship out of sheer shame.

I'm not ready to wait until November 5th. Are you?

Good Evening Friends Chat tomorrow 🫂💜👋🏾

How low does the market have to go before it stops being a good thing? Asking for Trump apologists.

When you start a tit for tat tariff war you'd better make sure you've got enough tit.

DOGE DID THIS

I'm old enough to remember when EVs were cool. Then along came Musk. I'm old enough to remember when space travel was cool. Then along came Musk. I'm old enough to remember when Twitter was cool. Then along came Musk. What is he gonna spoil for me next?

I miss him and his VP.

di·ver·si·ty /dəˈvərsədē,dīˈvərsədē/ noun 1. the state of being diverse; variety. 2. the practice or quality of including or involving people from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds and of different genders, sexual orientations, etc. When did it become a bad thing?

Every administration for as long as I've been in this country has declared war on waste, fraud and abuse and no right-minded citizen has a problem with that. This is the first administration that thinks the solution is to threaten to cut legitimate payments because finding the bad stuff is too hard.

😁😁😁

Musk claims cuts to Social Security are necessary because of widespread fraud. I believe those claims are false but even if true you stop the fraud. You don't cut legitimate payments with your chainsaw!

So a billionaire is going to buy a fancy car from another billionaire and we're supposed to somehow take this as significant information that all is well with the country? WTF!

Which is more likely: A) Canada has been ripping us off for decades (under both Democrat and Republican Administrations) or B) Trump is just jealous because Melania has the hots for Trudeau?

The arrest of Khalil was illegal. The attempt to deport him has been blocked by a judge but Trump and Johnson are praising the action saying more is to come. BLM Plaza is being dismantled. We are reliving 1930s Germany. The undesirables are anyone protesting the Administration and WASP extremists.

The threat of shutting down the government over budget bills is something we've lived with under both administrations. The Dems threaten it when the Republicans are in power and vice versa. The real culprit is the polarization that blocks them from reconciling and finding compromise.

There is an inverse correlation between the degree of loyalty demanded by the boss and the amount of honesty that can be expected from the subordinates. Trump wants all his cronies to sing from the same hymnal. But only the joyful hymns. Sadly this leaves no room for painful truths.

Anybody believing that vaccines don't help to contain the measles outbreak is not only stupid they have an extremely poor memory. Does covid ring a bell? How about dying patients asking for the vaccine on their way to the breathing machines.

You'd think the richest man in the world would be able to buy a political friend.

Is anybody else having trouble connecting to Twitter?

"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. 1/2

Trump said if elected he would end the war in Ukraine, bring back the hostages, cut inflation, and lower price of eggs. Egg prices still up, inflation rising, war in Ukraine continues, but he did get hostages released - those imprisoned due to J6.

Reagan vs Trump

Trump says he's finding it more difficult to deal with Zelensky than with Putin. Duh! Putin is his puppet master and Zelensky is refusing to kiss his ass or give up his country.

GOP will not be able to achieve their target for spending cuts without hitting Medicare, Medicaid or social security. That's just math. But there are two sides to the equation to balance the budget. More tax income from the wealthy. The fat cats are either stupid or they think we are!

I was dubious at first but now I believe Trump's continued disrespect for Trudeau and Canada is personal.

So apparently the art of the deal is to threaten and talk tough, send markets into a frenzy then reverse yourself to show you have the power to do it? What an ego-maniac!
