I am grateful for Trump, Musk, & MAGA Republicans because after 50 years mindless Government bashing, often with Democrats joining in, people are being reminded that it is Government & its employees that allow people to fly safely, protects us from diseases, provide parks for recreation, etc.

"Julius Caesar had his Brutus, Charles I had his Cromwell, Louis XVI had his Robespierre, & Donald Trump should profit by their example.

The "Pro-Life" Party, NOT.
