No private business is going to deliver mail to people who live in areas in Alaska, Wyoming, or Maine where the nearest town is 50 miles away. It’s not going to make them a profit.

I think perhaps you and I have misunderstood each other. I agree the current situation is a dictatorship with an oligarchy supporting it. I also believe political parties cause division and corruption. I’m independent. I believe, however, our Constitution though not perfect is worth saving.

No, what we have now is an oligarchy that is destroying the government we have. Do you think they are going to replace it with a government of by and for the regular people like you and me? They are taking it for themselves and the other billionaires. We are farther away from what you want than ever

So, you’re a communist? No central government, collective rule by the people?

So, you want a king and no representation in government? You want to throw out our Constitution and put all power in the hands of people who have never worked a day in their lives. You don’t want to vote. You trust the king will take care of you. I think you need to read about George III.

There is no one in the White House or Cabinet who has worked a 12 hr day in a factory, restaurant or farm, especially the 2 billionaires at the center. The Sec. of Ed couldn’t say what IDEA means let alone IEP. Parents of disabled children know and know what destroying DOE will mean for their kids.

Speaking skills? You really want to talk about speaking skills when the guy elected can’t speak above a third grade level and can’t correctly pronounce the name of any African country? And the VP has no authority to pass immigration reform, only the Republican Congress could have done that.

But replaced with what? Shouldn’t they have the replacement ready before they destroy the existing government? If you are to build a new house, would you burn down your current home before starting construction on your new one, and leave yourself homeless for a year? Nonsense.

Tariffs aren’t imposed on or paid by foreign countries or manufacturers. They are imposed on and paid by American importers, who then pass on the to American consumers. No foreign country ever pays a penny in tariffs. It’s a lie.

Abraham Lincoln once said that as a nation of free men, we will live forever or die by suicide. That is what we are witnessing, the slow suicide of our country.

His killing of her parents was wrong. That doesn’t make killing him right. If his victims’ relative had killed him, would that be wrong? In SC, that would be murder and they could be sentenced to death too. It’s moral relativism.

Can you imagine Trump and Vance treating Netanyahu they way they treated Zelenskyy in the Oval Office? Demanding he say thank you and repay the U.S.?Or rewriting history and saying Israel was responsible for October 7? Republicans would rightly lose their collective minds.
