Trump’s anti-DEI policy is a thin cover for his male, white supremacist policies.

Trump seems posed to throw Ukraine under the bus. Let’s remember the vicious reaction to Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal, a withdrawal which was essentially Trump’s plan but that Trump was too chicken to implement himself.

Curious about Trump’s “policies?” He canceled fines assessed against Deutche Bank. Trump owes over $150 million to this foreign financial institution.

Curious about Trump’s “policies?” He is closing USIAD. USAID is investigating whether Musk is selling Starlink services to the Russians in the Ukraine war.

The majority of jobs created last year were filled by foreign born workers. Trump’s effort to limit immigration may crash the economy!

In critical times loyalty to country is more important than loyalty to party. I am looking for Republican patriots!

Putin and Xi must be celebrating. They have no ability to harm the US government or the US economy comparable to what Trump is going.

Trump’s funding freeze is completely unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has previously decided that the President has an obligation to administer programs passed by Congress. Do we still have a constitutional democracy?

Trump retaliates against Columbia because they did not allow airplanes of deportees to land. Trump is assessing a 25% tariff on all goods imported from Columbia. How much money do you think he will collect from the cocaine trade?

Trump just pardoned Ross Ulbricht the creator of the infamous on line Silk Road drug market place. Silk Road helped establish Bitcoin as the currency of choice for criminal transactions. Ulbricht helped raise money for Trump’s campaign.

Note that one of Trump’s first initiatives was to remove the cap on co-pays for expensive medicines covered by Medicare and other Federal health plans. I hope his supporters are paying attention.

Interesting how Trump declared, by executive order, that there are only two sexes. It seems he doesn’t know about Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome and the many other biological variations which result in ambiguous sexual expression. Ignorance and bigotry trumps science.

Trump can’t allow TikTok to operate by executive order. It was banish by legislation that passed both houses of Congress, signed into law by President Biden and was already reviewed by the Supreme Court.

Trump can’t abolish birth right citizenship by executive order. It is a right guaranteed in the constitution.

How much attention will Trump give to MLK in his inaugural address?

What’s the rush? Why 100 executive orders by Trump on day 1? Why not a legislative agenda for a Republican Congress? By issuing 100 orders at once it becomes impossible to review and consider each individual order. Transparency and accountability are essential for a functioning democracy.

The “Deep State” are the hardworking employees of our government whose loyalties are to the American public snd the US Constitution. Trump is correct to believe they are against him. They have opposing values and objectives.

Wasn’t Trump pledged to withdrawing our troops from overseas entanglements?

Why are autocrats and wannabe-autocrats so drawn to land grabs?

Might the perps in New Orleans and Las Vegas both have suffered from CTE ( chronic traumatic encephalopathy) from their combat experience?

Curious about why Bezos became a Trump supporter? Jeffrey Bezos is developing a rocket and satellite network which will compete with the network controlled by Elon Musk. Both enterprises are highly dependent on government contracts.

Curious about what changed Trump’s opinion on the need to ban Tik Tok? Jeffrey Yass, a major investor in ByteDance the holding company that owns Tik Tok, gave $47 million to “conservative” pacs this election cycle.

Remember, Hitler was not teasing when he caller for German expansion into Sudetenland, Austria and Poland.

Guns are not the solution, guns are the problem. Guns do not provide safety, guns create danger.

So Luigi Mangione had insurance, had back pain, had surgery which was covered by his insurance and which helped his pain and was not insured by UnitedHeath. His murder is not an attempt to improve the healthcare system just as a school shooter’s actions are not an attempt to improve education.

Bad news: The price of imported wine, whisky and beer will rise with the proposed Trump tariffs. Good news: Most marijuana is produced locally and will not be affected by the tariffs.

“Well I didn’t vote for him” is about to become the most frequent political comment.

I predict the guacamole at this year’s Superbowl bowl party costs much more than it ever did. 🥑🏈🍺

Another term for transactional is quid pro quo.

In 2013 the state of Israel ended the addition of fluoride to its drinking water. Since that time there’s been a dramatic increase in the rate of cavities among children in Israel.
