Trump realized that many of the things presidents do aren't required by law--they were customs. He shred those customs. Now it's our turn. Trump feeds off of the respect we show the Office of the President. We need to stop showing Trump respect. Let's find ways to deny him the respect he craves.

I know that we want to seem "all reasonable" but we need our leaders to call these people out for what they really are. Mayor Pete is great and all, but he isn't a firebrand. The MAGA criminals are gangsters, idiots, and fascists. Let's call them that. And stop saying that EM is a genius.

People claim Elon Musk is a genius. The designation "genius" refers to a score on standard IQ Tests but it doesn't say anything about what one actually knows. EM is ignorant of government, law, and American history and culture. He's no genius, EM is an ignoramus!

These MAGA people could use humility. Years ago, a Republican complained about money spent on a study of tsetse flies sex lives. But it turns out that tsetse flies inhibit cattle farming in Africa. The study was aimed at population control so Africa could feed itself. When you don't know....

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u... Carve outs for spending cuts to benefit Red States? Time for Blue State purchasing power to flex its muscle. Avoid all nonessential purchases and avoid trips to Red States. A Republic is at stake: Time for us to put our money where our mouths are.

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/c... The other day, I suggested that so-called DOGE cuts would soon impact Republican congressmen. Well, rubber meet road.

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u... When President Musk and his friend Herr Trump claim that they have found “waste and fraud,” what they really mean is that they have found line items they either don’t understand or don’t like or both.

The press is still doing a bad job. Letting the Felon-in-Chief get away with this nonsense will get us all killed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOqG...
