The first President or former President found guilty of a felony (34 of them, actually) will be sentenced tomorrow.

They actually aren't for free markets. They want to prevent competition with some of the most extreme government intervention to protect their friends and line their own pockets.

This is the state of American "leadership". A convicted, twice impeached bully?

We, as voters, can term limit electeds via elections. Making it a rule doesn't solve our problem of representation. Stopping gerrymandering would have a bigger impact.

And, isn't that called "taxes"?

That looks like my kids at an Easter egg hunt. Without the urgency.

Between 2017-2021 we lost a high proportion of potential #internationalstudents . Others were stuck in the U.S. unable to go home because it was unlikely they would be able to return (and weren't able to see their families for 2-4 years).

Handing the Department of Defense and its responsibilities over to an alleged alcoholic who hasn't yet even started their 12-step program and doesn't (yet) have a track record of successful sobriety and stability seems.... unwise.

Not to mention there has been transgender staffers for a long time. Now it's an issue?! Divide and distract.

Angertainment to cover for the real dangers to women who are in the process of getting promoted to offices they in no way should hold. (And also, trans folks, sorry you have to deal with these obsessives who are fixated on things that arent their business 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️).

Vance suggests that President's haven't gotten 'their picks' approved. The vast majority of qualified individuals are approved, able to carry out the President's vision. Get where I'm going with this?

I did not use the word "extremist" although outlets like Newsmaxx could probably be put in that category. DT did not earn a vote record (he's five mil behind Biden 2020 and didn't even get as many as he did last time, and doesn't have a majority of 2024 vote. No majority at all, much less a mandate.

Progressive press won't be given press passes, many mainstream outlets won't either. MAGA have gotten good about propping up their own alternative reality.

Agreed. This is a Russian-style attempt to weaken or eliminate dissent.
