It's pretty clear that Trump is a traitor to freedom & democracy.

When Trump says "some people are for <something>, and some people are against it," he's talking about the two halves of his split personality, Tit or Tat.

Reminiscent of the plan not to discourage smoking so the time people might need government medical assistance would be shortened.

A word of warning to anyone hoping to take advantage of the IRA tax credit, if you expect to receive a $7500 credit for a PHEV, make sure it's actually eligible. I was just informed that, because my vehicle VIN begins with the letter "J" (meaning 'made in Japan'), it is NOT eligible. Pissed! 😡

Trump & Elon Musk are using DOGE as a get-rich-quick scheme—firing tens of thousands of workers & slashing vital programs as Musk swindles a new $2.4B contract. Musk hasn't found any "waste" in the $13B he gets from taxpayers yearly. What a surprise. DOGE is pure corruption.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

In the same way that many of us still call "X" Twitter, I suggest that we pronounce DOGE as "Doggy." Kinda lends it the respect it deserves.

Ironic (and hypocritical) that MAGA is opposed to the influx of immigrants but not to importing the authoritarianism that drives them here.
