I hate his policies. I hate the cowardice of those around him, enabling those policies. I pity him. He seems so lost behind his anger and confusion. Of course, regardless of my pity, he must be held accountable for his crimes.

Sending thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers are the only reason the planes fly. When a plan crashes it is because someone didn’t pray right or had an impure thought. 😳😳😳 the prayer can be short, but not too short, and must now include Duffy as he is our great guardian of the sky.

I will be happy and give him some credit. I will not praise him. Your qualification that it “actually prevents war” is key. The Abraham Accords were supposed to do that for Israel. Also, if someone breaks something we should thank them for glueing it back, we give him credit, but qualified credit!😀

I agree that the old leadership is tiresome, but the “ do not vote” for dems because of some old leaders comes straight out of Trump/Netanyahu playbook of discouraging Dems to vote. Palestinians are being slaughtered because trumps in power. We need ranked choice voting and everybody voting

The new Oxford dictionary says “bribery” is persuading someone to act through dishonest inducement: money or planes count. There is no need for“explicit quid pro quo”. “Corruption”, per NOD, is the process of changing the original meaning of a word into something debased. Good job Eric

I wonder where the new center of growth will be. China? Europe? Not the US. Not under this administration

Cutting research an investment destroy our future ability to innovate. The attack on education will drive the brightest minds to other countries. it will take years(decades?) to recover from dismantling our health and science communities, If we even have the will / resources to rebuild.

The children were not “deported” they are US citizens, forced to go out of fear.
Is this the “Christianity” we can expect from our Christian officials? What do our “leaders” believe is the message of Jesus Christ? Every person of faith should be outraged at the meanness of this administration

Exactly! Kidnapping or legalized domestic terrorism, this is done with authorization from someone high up in the chain of command. It is intentional. It is disgraceful. It is illegal but will not be prosecuted by this lawless administration

There are countries with penguins desperate to end the tariffs against them. At least 2 or 3. And what about polar bear islands? Surely there are 2 or 3 bear islands. He is the stable genius’s who needs to clean out his stable full of bs🤣

The mistake Van Hollen did was not play golf in El Salvador, he only needed to play 9 holes and no republican would be upset with him spending tax dollars on the trip

No, they need to show up and bluntly ask questions when ignored. Otherwise their seats will be filled with party hacks

I agree, but feel that with some tweaks we could improve it. Republicans are dismantling the protections that made our country thrive. The abuse of citizens united resulted in Trump winning. We actually had protections against oligarchs but they have been whittled away.

The old system was working. It needed some tweaks, not a sledgehammer

Weird, but a couple of weeks ago I was thinking the same thing. With rfk jr. destroying our ability to contain pandemics I’m counting on 15- 20 years vs the 30 I was planning. The numbers work, so I’m planning a trip to Costa Rica 🤣. Of course, this weeks bloodbath may change that plan😳🤬

This administration is the true criminal. The spit in the name of Christ all while saying they are followers. Disgusting.

I do think there is stock manipulation in TSLA. It is still way higher than it should be. Robotaxi is a vaporware promise cyber truck is a failure.

Approval is “skyrocketing”🤣 I have to admit that magas skill in manipulating facts is impressive. I wouldn’t be surprised that 80% of the US wants immigration reform, but to warp that into 80% approval of trump’s handling of it, is quite impressive. What’s frustrating is how many will believe that😢

It is also called pump and dump. He did this back in his days as a “businessman” Elon has a variation with Teslas FSD. I imagine trump insiders are making a fortune and there is no one to hold them accountable

Haha no, I never would have used little paddles😀. It looked really weak. in hind sight it would have been great if they all walked out in unison early on. The seating was not reserved so if dems did not show up trump would have filled the seats with rabid republicans

There are 4 justices that will support anything musk-rump wants, regardless of its real constitutionality. This is for payments owed for work done. It should have been 9-0 not 5-4. This means any grey constitutional issues only need 1 vote to swing it to the dark side

Our country is being destroyed from within. Rule of law is being destroyed, we must unite against this treason to our constitution. this is not what the majority of our great country voted for. we must vote them out! we must stop their illegal actions. 5-5

On the judicial front, the courts are holding that many of trumps orders, especially funding freezes, are illegal, and have ordered the administration to pay what we owe. These orders are being ignored.

RFK has defunded TB research and has canceled the annual flu vaccine meeting which will delay the flu shot for fall; we may not have an updated shot if no meeting happens. he is making America sicker 3-

On the home front, Musk is engorging himself, at our expense, on all our private data. He is cutting regulations that hamper him and forcing us to buy his services. Cutting his bloated contracts would save our country billions. Now he has declared that Social security is a Ponzi scheme. 2-

There is some overlap and I hear what you are saying. We do need to fight we don’t have to be polite, but do need to be civil. anCivil disobedience is definitely on the table, but we can’t fight like maga. Rage and hatred destroy everything.
