The Golden Rule is my guiding principle. I believe in civil discourse, peaceful political idea sharing, and having respect for all living things. Now, how do I react to those who don't share my core beliefs? It's not a simple disagreement anymore.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett brought the fire: “The fact that people are ok with losing their jobs and healthcare, going into a Trump-induced recession, not being safe, all in hopes that someone else will be hurt, is WILD…but this is where we are in this Country.”

I'm all in favor of honing government efficiency, ending waste, and tax fraud. I'm in favor of more secure borders and safer streets. I'm NOT in favor of using a bulldozer to make any changes that put our nation at risk. And who's driving that bulldozer?

Are you guys seeing this? Why am I watching Elon Musk haphazardly dismantle the US Government, randomly firing employees without understanding what they actually do? Why are we still paying the US Congress and Supreme Court justices? They are obviously not needed by the new administration.

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected. $196 billion for three men in 99 days. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

The government agencies they've targeted are not OWNED by the Executive Branch. It's like letting somebody borrow your car for 4 years. These men are driving our government into the wall, and they don't really care about who survives. They are collecting the insurance money by misappropriation.

Does anyone else think that Trump is trying to incite a NEW war in the Middle East? What happened to the legislative branch of our government? Why bother having Congress when Musk and Trump act like they own our nation?

What's up with Robert Kennedy? He's blinking rapidly. He's tripping over his words, and his voice sounds like he's as feeble as a very, very old man! He claims doesn't know, he doesn't know, but he's qualified?
