Did you ever think that one EGG could wield more political power than all the gold in Fort Knox. We’ll think again. Over the course of several months to come the EGG could bring Trump down. I wonder how he likes them? Scrambled, fried, or poached. I’ll take mine any way with grits. Thank you

The US is abandoning Europe. Trump et al are letting on the US leaving NATO. The EU is assessing future Ukrainian support. Fr, GB and Ger may send combat forces. A treaty is unlikely. Russia is now seen as a US partner. Everything is ripe for an expanded European war. Just a matter of time.

“Quisling” Don is a “useful idiot” for Russia as he surrenders any bargaining leverage to Putin in his rush to make peace at any cost. We are witness to history. We are at the door step of a new European war as Trump pulls the US out of Europe; not in our national security interests!!

JV (Junior Varsity) Vance set a new world record yesterday in alienating our European friends. He had the temerity to chastise them on issues we ourselves have created to greater degrees internally. Unadulterated “projection”. What a small mindless dufus putz he is! EspritLiberte

Trump sitting behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office while Musk pontificates looks like a potted plant. Wish he were. Nope he’s a deranged depraved old man!!

If Trump and his MAGA lackeys thumb their noses to court orders, then Americans still have the streets to force compliance. Vive La Revolution. Esprit Liberte

The pony run, he jumped, he pitch He threw my master in the ditch He died and the jury wondered why The verdict was the blue tail fly Jimmy, crack corn, I don't care Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care My master's gone away

50501 Movement Organizes Its First Rally At State Capitol, Targeting Trump, Project 2025, And Elon Musk ctnewsjunkie.com/2025/02/05/5...

Is it possible to be more stupid than Trump. His “…we’ll own it…” policy for Gaza plays right into Iran’s strategy to unit the Middle East against Israel and the US. All at the same time he’s gutting the FBI and CIA. Single handle he’s made America less secure. Oh the joy to do Trump stuff again

The Felon’s oligarch mafia is actively engaged in a coup d’etat. Anyone supporting this endeavor is party to it and thus should be considered a traitor to this nation and our Constitution

Edmund Burke said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”. The problem is there are Republicans in Congress who, to a person, have cowered to trump. If they are good do something. If not, they are presumed bad thus they become evil. Esprit Liberte!!

Hegseth did exactly what he said he wouldn’t do: politicize the Pentagon. What he’s done to Gen. Milley is disgraceful and dishonorable. He’s executing Trump’s vendetta. Hegseth has no honor, no code and is making all us less safe!

Then there is Melania. Dressed as ‘femme fatale’. Her inaugural attire was more fit for a funeral than celebration of a new administration. Ah, but perhaps that’s the message she was conveying in dress code: the funeral of American democracy. Given trumps executive orders, we are on a funeral march.

The red white blue “cockade” made famous during the French Revolution was a symbol for liberty. I wear it today as a counter-MAGA icon against fascism and tyranny. Join me and wear one too. Esprit Liberte

Defend yourself by actively affiliating with organizations whose purpose is to defend our constitutional rights of speech, assembly, press, choice, freedom from religion, etc.. Become critical thinkers. Seek the truth, don’t assume it is so because self asserting authorities say so. Esprit liberte

The advent of a great challenge awaits one and all! The ascension of oligarchies and a unitary executive with unlimited powers and no accountability. A descending free press dedicated to truth and not misinformation and a legislative body surrendered to the executive. Defend yourself. Esprit Liberte

The photo is worth a thousand words.

#RepublicanShutdown Well, well, well. How many of you MAGAs are enjoying the Republican clown show in DC.? Whether it’s the budget blowup, the mediocrity of Cabinet nominations or the Musk power grab emasculating your Man; all of it is embarrassing even for a contra MAGA. Likely to get worse.

This insidious relationship between Trump and Musk is historically parallel to that between the mystic Rasputin and the regime of Czar Nicholas of Russia. Rasputin led Czarist Russia to ruin. Musk appears to have the same level of influence on Trump with likely the same result.

The emerging Trump cabinet appears intramural compared to the varsity level of talent in years past. The selections are mediocre (unqualified or incompetent) and mediocrity at best is what our government will be going forward.

I am deeply saddened and disappointed when I hear or read about fellow citizens revealing their ignorance about governance, economics, military affairs, etc.. Bring back civics and econ in our public schools. It’s critical electorate knowledge!

There is a lot of noise about Trump using Federal military personnel to assist ICE in the roundup and deportation of illegal immigrants. The “Posse Comitatus Act” of 1878 makes this use of troops unlawful. There are limitations and exclusions, but none apply to immigration enforcement!

I wear a red, white, blue cockade everywhere, not as a symbol of the French Revolution, or patriotism, but as an advocate for and the protection of our liberty in the face of MAGA fascism.
