* Wannabe dictator in the Oval Office. * Subservient House & Senate willing to allow POTUS to usurp its Article I responsibilities. * A population that is being robbed by the ultra-wealthy & being pitted against each other in senseless social wars. Question: Is the U.S.A. in decline?

Our U.S. "leader," unlike the leaders of our erstwhile friends, is acting like a near-eighty-year-old bully adolescent who hits others and is upset when they hit back. Stop the imperialistic stupidity against friends and the childish name-calling. It is stupid, destructive, unbecoming & isolating.

Leavitt: “I think it’s insulting that you’re trying to test my knowledge of economics, and the decision that this president has made. I now regret giving a question to The Associated Press.” The reporter asked a simple question, which you are too dumb to answer. So, you acted like a petulant child.

For the White House Press Secretary to claim that tariffs are a tax cut for Americans is to be stupid or to depend on the American people to be stupid.

What Trump, Musk and the whole club of PLUTOCRATS and KLEPTOCRATS do not know: Finally seeing the real enemies of democracy, neither veterans, soldiers or the American People are SUCKERS and LOSERS. The Battle for the Soul of the Nation is engaging. Round 1 went to Trump; we are in Round 2.

Slowly but surely Americans are waking up and deciding that WE WILL NOT BE RULED. Governed by the Constitution, BUT NOT RULED! GOP senators, representatives, and Cabinet members, find your spines and join U.S., the American People. The struggle has started. Resist the Trump-Musk-MAGA Coup!

Have you seen Hannity and Laura Trump on FOX begging for help for POOR Elon! Musk needs help? The richest thief in the world needs help as he raids America? The war against the KLEPTOCRATS is underway. Panic has set in because for them MONEY SCREAMS & nothing else even makes a sound!

Trump said he was against EVs. Now, he claims that he is buying a TESLA to support Musk. Wow! What an example of KLEPTOCRATS sticking together to rob the American people of treasure and freedom. $$$$$ SCREAMS! Continue to buy anything but TESLA because only THEIR pain gets their attention.

At a dizzying pace, democracy is dying in the U.S.A. and a KLEPTOCRACY is growing. Trump, Musk, and a cabinet filled with multi-billionaires and millionaires are STEALING our treasure & and worse yet, our freedoms. This is an assault on America and it is the job of Congress to halt the assault.

Can somebody please explain why the exceedingly wealthy need a tax break and why it is so important that we will ravish the poorest among us to provide it.

When will we recognize that having massive wealth within the top 1% and massive poverty in the bottom 60% DOES NOT make us a rich nation, but indeed a poor, unstable nation with some ultra-rich people. This is Robin Hood in reverse and it kills our nation. Plutocracy kills democracy!

Trump's speech was not a State of the Union, but a speech by a billionaire, for billionaires with diversions thrown in to keep people in line with crumbs like no taxes on meager wages and unimportant social disputes. THE PLUTOCRATS ARE IN CHARGE and are stealing from the people to become richer.

Do not wait for the midterm elections. It is time to remove Members of Congress abandoning their Article I responsibilities and handing them over to the Executive. NOW IS THE TIME TO START RECALL PETITIONS for cowardly congressmen & senators not earning their keep. Bring them home now!

GOP (MAGA) senators & representatives. Pay attention to Zelenskyy and learn, even when being leaned on by the biggest bullies most desperately, how not to be a coward. Jealous Graham?

Trump, Musk, and most—not all—of the billionaires seem to lack understanding that people who have nothing or little to lose are dangerous. The New Deal was successful because FDR and the magnates of his day understood that. Reagan's tax cuts changed it all and claimed that the US spent too much.

Perception: 1) Non-rich people who voted for Trump were Short-Term Stupid & face the near-term damage of increased poverty. 2) Rich people who voted for Trump are Long-Term Stupid and will face long-term damage from the pains and resulting reaction of the impoverished S-TS. All will be punished!

@sanders.senate.gov On the national debt and poverty, YOU ARE CORRECT. The oligarchs (plutocrats) can change this if they can suppress their greed & thirst for power and control enough to be merely super-wealthy rather than mega-wealthy. History indicates either a correction or a revolution.

Basic American accounting error: USA spends too much = Huge Nat'l Debt Reality: USA earns too little = Huge Nat'l Debt "Trickle Down" economics is a SCAM resulting in multi-billionaires instead of multi-millionaires and far more poor. Rich plutocrats do not equal a rich nation. The opposite!

"I'm ... we're the Federal Law." Trump to a Governor. Learn some civics: Article One, Congress makes Federal Law. Article Two, The President enforces Federal Law, made by Article One. Article Three, Courts adjudicate disputes on Federal Law. The President is not KING you ignorant, pompous ass!

Does Fox News have the destruction of the U.S.A. as a part of its mission? Like their erstwhile commentator, I'm just asking.

Members of Congress: The people elected you! Why do you spend the great majority of your time acting and passing laws as if the extremely well-off plutocrats elected you? Why do you let them rule through you? Unless you are greedy or cowardly, you temporarily have greater power than them.

Questions: 1. Has the U.S.A. started its decline? 2. If yes, has the huge wealth gap aided in that decline? 3. If yes, are the plutocrats too greedy and power-hungry to arrest that decline? 4. If yes, should they study the history of the decline of nations?

Anybody who believes the Trump lie that Ukraine started the war is gullible to an extent that defies intelligence. Period. People who have joined a cult are gullible and reasoning or facts do not matter. So arguing would be a total waste of time.

Pole question: Who will be the ultimate dictator, President Trump or Co-President Musk?

Differences in race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc. are not the problem; it's a diversion. PROBLEM: The plutocrats suck up all the wealth & create poverty. The solution is to have them pay a fair share; not cut what the people need. The nation earns too little, not spend too much—no trickle-down.

It is becoming clearer and clearer that the USA is going to have a very, very difficult time during the next two years and will come out of this with either a dictator or a stronger democracy after being tested by a want-to-be dictator.

Elon Musk wants to rule the world. Suggestion: Climb onto one of his rockets and head off to Mars. He can rule there to his heart's desire. Next week would be a good departure time.

I just got a call from Germany to inform me that we Americans are stupid, because like them decades earlier, we stupidly gave the fox the keys to the hen house. I could not argue against the charge. Yet, all is not YET lost if Congress (Dems & GOP) will do its job and protect the Constitution!

If there are Republicans in Congress with courage, you better step up before the monster is fully formed. Mitch did not step up and the monster he let loose is among us. Just a few GOP senators & reps CAN make a difference and return the monster to its cage. This is a task for REPUBLICANS!

Trump is very quickly isolating the USA from the world and making us small and petty in his image. He is not increasing American power, he is shrinking it and is hastening our nation's decline. Rome was not conquered; it declined. Under Trump, we are following suit—and for the cost of eggs!
