Retired . Grandpa. Former member of the GOP. Came to my senses in 2016. Now a Dem - always centrist. Lover of books , history, science , family and my country. Staying anonymous so my opinions impact no one else close to me.
When the President of the Inited States tells a legitimate member of the press to not speak again, he breaks his oath to defend the constitution and execute the laws of the land. Another reason he should resign and/ or be removed by impeachment.
The rugged individualist cry babies bemoaning mask Mandates forget facts going back decades. Rights are a two way street. Masks help prior to vaccination
Just a little bit of truth for truth’s sake: 1 year for Trump, more than double that time under Biden who also had to handle the Trump bumbled “ residue”. Trump really relies on follower stupidity.
Lest we forget why Trump should have been impeached for his mishandling of the COVID pandemic, see what AI helps us to remember:
Contrast the actual rate of non citizen voting fraud with the various election frauds perpetrated by the Trump Administration and his supporters including a violent J6 attack on a sitting Congress
In case you believe Trump that inflation is just all about oil. He ignores aging infrastructure and climate change. He is also confused about AI and Healthcare which also add to deficits and inflation. Good luck MAGA, you’ll need it.
Hey MAGA, your boy qualifies as the biggest socialist ever. He has added trillions to the deficit. Your problem is, he is a socialist for the wealthy and not YOU! His socialism excludes you! Don’t worry so much about the far left crazies. Worry about Right wing socialists screwing you.
So the US will give control Of the SoH to Iran and Oman? They won!!! Why???
Can someone explain why Iran won? How is the US better off now than under the Obama plan?
Hopefully there will be an opportunity for the 15 to file a state bar grievance or if there is found to be deliberate illegality in the prosecution, possible criminal charges.
Can someone explain what part of the definition of fascism is not part of Trump’s behaviors and plans?
Similar to what Lincoln said in his Gettysburg Address, we may not be in the midst of a great civil war but we are in a battle to win back the democratic republic from the authoritarian criminal in power. We need to finish the work with malice toward none.
Jobs up 170k in May mostly in leisure/ hospitality and healthcare. Wage growth slightly increasing on a lousy trend. What does this tell us? Those who can afford vacations and those who have to deal with illness are doing well. Is that you MAGA or is it just your aristocratic elites fooling you?
Free market Capitalism is the greatest wealth creator in history. Socialism, Communism and Capitalism as totalitarian mandated systems fail. Free Market Capitalism using democracy + socialist back stops has worked well. Medicare for all would be another improvement as an example. Tools vs ideology.
Democrats, unlike the GOP should call for a full and transparent investigation of a candidate running for Governor of California. If he is guilty, let him face the consequences. He and his legal team must show any evidence that exists that would exonerate him. A press conference is also called for.
The straits of Hormuz are reportedly NOT open to US/ Israel friendly Traffic. Normal traffic is about 130 ships/ day vs currently about 11. The straits were fully open before the war.
Technically, the strait is open but totally under Iranian control. Trump loses all credibility.
Everything Trump attempts fails because he doesn’t understand how to engineer solutions that minimize “ side effects “. Tariffs are a good example. US factories employed fewer people and manufacturing has not come roaring back no matter how much he lies and distorts.
The way fascism works is that violence by the government quells dissent along with rights as the price for closed borders and lower crime. Violence and Murder works as a deterrent …it doesn’t end well.
Let’s see what an objective AI has to say about exactly what Michael Flynn lied about when he pleaded guilty… hmmmmm and he got pardoned plus a $ 1 million!!??
Trump “ accomplishments” , aka debacles in foreign policy, border, killing drug smuggler boats, Iran etc
Trump’s “ accomplishments “ in his second term. Aka policy, ethics, conflicts of interest and regulatory debacles
Both the Trump administration and the Biden administration failed to apprehend the indicted Russians involved in interfering with a US election amongst other allegations. The US people need to know what the FBI has done to pursue the perpetrators
The US economy was already trending down from the Biden administration. So of course the Trump remedy is to go to war, and make no mistake, his fear of the Epstein associations and accusations would make him destroy an economy and a country to distract from whatever it is that makes him quake.
