This guy is a lost cause. He lacks the fundamental abilities to tie his own shoes. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
- Our military has been a source of pride. We know that trump has a disdain for the military. If this succeeds, he will turn our citizenry against the military. The potential for violent actions against Americans by our military becomes a reality. l.smartnews.com/p-kFcUNo4/EO...
- Cubans helped put trump in office… l.smartnews.com/p-kBdntVu/Mu...
- Of course he pardoned her. Very similar to taking money from veterans and children with cancer. So here’s the way it works-if you have tattoos and are brown, you get sent to an El Salvadorian Prison (black site), If you’re white and steal money - you get a pardon. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Sadly, this shit is taking place where a majority of Veterans are employed www.huffpost.com/entry/vetera...
- It costs around $325K to raise a child to age 17 in the U.S. That’s assuming a healthy child. trump wants to give married couples $5K to have a baby. trump math.
- Interesting. They don’t want Muslims in their communities, their schools, and yet Cornyn is pissed they to create their own community. I guess discrimination is okay unless it’s pointed at you. l.smartnews.com/p-kjJ02Cd/vF...

- It’s not difficult to avoid regrets. Simple rules…know the devil you’re dealing with. Stop and do some critical thinking. In this case, why did they attach a name to this bill-incite emotion. Keep having those regrets-that and $1.00 will get you a cup of coffee. www.huffpost.com/entry/jahana...
- Guess who is next? Students getting deported are just test cases. Difficult to discern what segment of our citizenry is okay with this because trolls skew data. Don’t be surprised if Americans are next. My tax dollars should not be going to an El Salvador prison. www.huffpost.com/entry/cecot-...
- Has anyone done a health and welfare check on Hakeem Jeffries? He’s been AWOL for a while.

- “Caine, however, during his confirmation hearing vowed to serve apolitically, saying that he would not become a “yes man” for Trump…”. I guess we’ll see. Got to say, I’m not convinced.
- “We welcome refugees, not because they are American... But because we are American.” “We are a country where people of all backgrounds, all nations of origin, all languages, all religions, all races, can make a home. America was built by immigrants.” Ronald Reagan The darling of the GOP replaced...
- Who knew that we'd live in a country where incompetence is rewarded while qualified individuals are fired. The Signal chat fiasco is all but forgotten. Yet, this Admiral was fired because she believed in diversity? Diversity. www.defensenews.com/pentagon/202...
- 18th century law. Why not? This clown show is taking us backwards. Next? Burning witches at the stake. I’ve said it before-this supreme court is anything but supreme. It’s a farce. www.huffpost.com/entry/suprem...
- Tax breaks for the rich will ”trickle down.” And by trickle down I mean, middle class and poor will get diddly squat. I’ve been waiting for anything to trickle down since I started voting. The only trickle has been these assholes peeing on my leg and trying to convince me it’s raining.
