If you want to win a trade war, you gotta have something to trade that other side wants. And we're in a trade war with the very people who make all the things WE want. You're not going to win that.

I'm a Republican. I was against gun safety laws until my husband got shot. I opposed gay rights until my daughter came out. I fought stem cell research until Ronnie got Alzheimer’s. I’m a Republican which means I won’t give a shit about you until it happens to me.

I cant help but feel that our Founding Fathers would be MORTIFIED by whats happening today. Establishing an official state religion. Kidnapping people and sending them to be slave labor in another country. Snatching people off the street for their IDEAS. Horrifying.

The powers that be are very invested in Cuomo winning the NYC mayorship (one of the 10 most powerful executive roles in the USA) because, like Adams before him, he represents the best chance to let conservatives and business interests run a city mostly full of liberal voters.

“If there’s one truth Donald Trump seems to have absorbed in his seventy-eight years, it is that there are advantages to lying all the time—foremost among them that no one knows when you’re bluffing and when you actually mean what you say.” www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

One thing everyone should understand is that DOGE has created the least efficient conditions for government I've ever seen. The working conditions are chaotic. No clear sense of who works there. Routine processes have been stopped. No planning can take place. *People are incredibly demoralized.

Granted, the US system is different and Trump has exposed all the holes in it. He’s not even bending laws, he’s breaking them. He has a record number of cases in court while simultaneously tearing down the system, installing his people. He knows he’s overwhelming the system and SCOTUS will save him.
