Kash Patel and what's left of the FBI are charging Habitat for Humanity with fraud after that organization received grants from the EPA. You don't think it's 45's retribution for Jimmy Carter being a well-respected and celebrated former POTUS who brought it to the forefront of American life..do you?

Seems that Trump's withholding millions in funding from the University of Maine, those hurt are mostly apple and blueberry farmers, fishermen, and researchers who look for better ways to enhance agricultural products from that state. And he's your "retribution?" Whose retribution specifically? HIS!!

Can you imagine the reaction by the GOP, particularly Reps Jim Jordan, MTG, and that Beetlejuice hand-job lady if Obama or Biden had turned the White House lawn into a used car lot for the benefit of George Soros? And aren't there laws to prevent such on government property?

Obviously Trump knows nothing about governing. The only person who knows less than Trump is Musk. But give the Devil his due. Both are master crooks and both are after the trillions that make up the American economy. Makes Watergate look like a Boy Scout merit badge project.

I can't see Roosevelt nor Churchill abandoning allies during World War II. Historically, Chamberlain's offer of Czechoslovakia to pacify Hitler was VERY wrong. NOT a student of history, Trump thinks only of himself. The souls of Ukrainian soldiers and families will haunt him the rest of his life.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

It saddens me to realize that 237 years of the America I love may come to an end before my children and grand children can enjoy the same freedoms I have enjoyed. History books of the future will regard Joseph R. Biden as the last president before the fall of the most powerful nation on earth.

This is incredible to witness. Sen. Glenn Grothman checks his notes, so he obviously planned to say these things —yet delivers a masterclass in being completely out of touch. This is exactly what people mean when they say their representatives don’t get it. Cringe!

So the Sec. of Agriculture suggests that if we want cheap eggs, then we should raise chickens in our back yards. I guess apartment dwellers won't get those cheap eggs unless they hire a cleaning service. BTW, when Vilsack was Sec. of Ag., he was way too smart to say something so damned stupid.

A Water buffalo has better negotiating skills than 47. Zelenskyy meeting went south/ Stupid comments from Vance. Trump scolds Zelenskyy. "Z" left. Disaster for both nations. Putin laughs. World stage sees loser. Russian drones continue to fly. Will Putin stop w/Ukraine? No chance! Moldova is next.

The regime's practice of firing fed workers is a performance for the MAGA masses. "Throwing the baby out with the bath water" makes bad business sense. Legal cost-cutting doesn't require dismantling. POTUS practically COLLECTED bankruptcies over the years. U-Penn Wharton School grad? I'm wondering.

We've argued for years that the 2nd Amendment should be kept in place so ordinary citizens could fight tyranny. If this is not tyranny, then please tell me what is. An unelected foreign-born agent takes our jobs urged on by a would-be monarch without regard for consequences. What else do we need?

I suppose the president doesn't know that $5 million is chump change to drug cartels. That "Gold Card" is an avenue to riches to those who set up shop on this side of the border.

America's greatness is proven daily by dedicated public servants. They insure our place internationally by showing we're not "just another country." Nations under attack need our help. Those offering that help make up a large part of the American workforce. Celebrate them instead of firing them.

As nearly as I can recall, America has always been "GREAT." Her greatness has been weakened by slavery, prejudice, poverty, war, disease, and crime. Making it great again doesn't mean bringing these things back into vogue. Nor does abandoning your closest friends and allies when they need us most!

In Jonathan Edwards' 1971 song, "Sunshine (Go Away Today)" the line, "He can't run his own life; be damned if he'll run mine!" Musk's 12 kids with 3 different women and using 1 kid for a shield shows me he's a poverty-stricken rich boy. NO life skills and NO common sense. Leave my country alone!

No one in either the House or the Senate has the balls to go out and tell their constituents that they've cut the budget when it applies directly to their districts or states. It's easier for Trump to do it through Musk thus absolving any ELECTED officials of blame.

How long before Kash and the boys over at "his" FBI decide we can no longer "bear arms." Wanna see a revolt among the GOPPERS? Think about it. History shows NO regime allows an armed citizenry. It's only a matter of time before they trample on EVERY amendment seeing that violating the 4th is ok.

Where are 1) Musk's contract, 2) a listing of fraud found so far, and 3) an accounting of over $14 million spent thus far on the "search." Firing good people without cause doesn't save a penny. Defunding vital agencies can cost lives. This has been approached like a reality TV show for the rich.

Musk is violating the 4th Amendment which reads:"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated." He is NOT a duly authorized government employee nor an agent of ANY department.

Take a look at how women's athletics is being affected by the anti-trans movement among GOP legislators. Plus, the Biden ruling that equalized NIL for women's sports is being overturned, as well. Take a look at this: 19thnews.org/2023/04/titl...

The only capable appointees to Trump's last cabinet walked out. Of them, Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson, lasted little more than a year. Some left because they were asked to break laws. This time, he's picked some shady characters that are already criminals and won't quit! Saves time and embarrassment.

Do we want the"Musk-eteers" raiding the FAA. When a 20-year-old untrained hacker gets hold of our air traffic control system, look out. Already Trump has appointed a cadre of unskilled, inexperienced cabinet secs. He obviously has no respect for our nation's safety and well-being.

I guess we all remember just before the election how Mr. Trump bragged that he didn't need any more votes. And how he also bragged that Elon was a great with computers. My, my, my....how much of a confession do we need? Swing state margins were just wide enough that Harris couldn't demand a recount.

Wonder how Musks "computer whizzes" are gonna like that snug little jail in El Salvador. Bet there'll be some mighty big time confessions just about the time they close that heavy iron door to that 108° cell.

When a dictator takes power, he must disarm the people to stay in power. Will Trump/Musk will seize our "arms?" Every day now we lose another of our 1st Amendment rights. Can the 2nd be far behind? Or the 5th or how about the 13th and 14th? I hear they're already trying to repeal the 22nd.

Can someone tell me why Trump is hung up on China's use of The Panama Canal? According to Radio Free Asia, "Beijing says it has no control over the running of the canal, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told journalists on Jan. 22." The canal has historically been open to ALL nations.

Do you suppose any HIPAA laws were broken in the theft of personnel files during any of the moves made by Elon Musk over the weekend? Lawsuits should abound from that alone.
