First amendment says you can peacefully protest. Second amendment says you can bear arms. ICE says the constitution doesn’t matter. So they seem to say from Trump on down.

Trump solves another problem that he alone created. It is called the Hero Complex. Look at me. I am wonderful. Don’t worry. I have it all under control!

What is the difference between Trump wanting to take by force Venezuela’s oil and Greenland’s minerals and Putin wanting Ukraine’s breadbasket and Jinping’s wanting Taiwan’s manufacturing? No difference!

We are not running Puerto Rico very well so how does this administration think it can run Venezuela, Cuba, Columbia, Greenland and Canada?

Pardoning January 6 rioters, fraudsters, drug traffickers and sex offenders says all we need to know about the character of this president. There is no place in heaven for those who are in bed with the devils.

You missed it. The Trump Kennedy Memorial PAC announced Trump’s passing. His staff has been using a double (check his prime time speech). Not saying this conspiracy theory is really true, but you should let others in your network decide!

How do people sit back and watch Trump go on his ego trip destroying the White House, Kennedy Center, Peace Institute? The behavior is beyond narcissism to pathological. The Arc de Trump will be the proof that Americans don’t count, only Trump.

Trump and his cronies do not understand simple math. $12 billion to farmers does not balance the hundreds of billions of current and future overseas sales lost amid the tariff wars. Add deporting tens of thousands of farm workers and making it nearly impossible to bring them in legally. A dumb mess.

Who your friends are say more about you and what you value. Just look at all the scammers, crooks, crypto and narco kingpins Trump has pardoned. Corruption is the common theme. Oh, and the countries whose leaders he admires. Murderers and dictators alike. We can see him as he wants to be.

White Afrikaner’s count but not Haitians. No racism here because South Africa is more dangerous than Haiti. Right? Yes, White Right, the other name for MAGA!

If you don’t think Trump worked for Putin, just look at the U.S. proposed Ukraine peace deal. It is precisely EVERYTHING Russia wants!

Trump takes credit for rolling back tariffs on items he imposed tariffs on in the first place. Congrats. Beef prices are up because immigrants are bringing their cattle in with them. We can bring prices down by importing more beef. Sure makes American farmers scratch their heads.

On the BBC controversy. 1. Did Trump really say those words? Yes he did. 2. Did it cause him to lose the 2024 election? No harm done. 3. Did it make him look bad? He has done and said a hundred things the media has reported that makes him look bad! Taco Trump, Sleepy Trump, Crazy math Trump.

Let’s review things. The BBB cuts millions from Medicaid, SNAP and commodities to food banks to pay for tax breaks for the rich. Trump finds money for Argentina and paying ICE during the shut down but can’t find funds for air traffic controllers or food. $300M for ballroom but nothing for people!

Here’s the argument. We need to have tariffs because these other countries have taken advantage of us. So we put tariffs on those countries we have a trade surplus with and countries we have no trade with. So much for making sense. Think the court can figure it out?

While Trump is busy despoiling our White House (not his house) and flying all over to glad hand world leaders, families and farmers, parents and grandparents are worried about getting health care, food on the table, and maintaining their livelihood. Despite his speeches he doesn’t care about us.

Attention Republican national debt hawks: the debt increased by $1 TRILLION in the last TWO months. Can’t blame that on Biden. Oh, we cut IRS staff by half and tax collections are woefully behind. Not to worry since Congress is on vacation. Oh they are in charge of the budget!

The White House used to be the people’s house: picture this, groups of middle school students looking around in amazement. Trump is turning it into Mara lago North, his own personal club that belongs to the rich and famous and wannabes. The gold is a cover up of the grift and grime.

While Trump promises to rid us of all the brown criminal elements he is pardoning and commuting the sentences of scores of white convicted criminals. Law and order only applies to those who don’t look like him or won’t kiss his ring or are his perceived enemies.

Criticizing the Pope for wanting to treat immigrants with dignity and not a word condemning masked government gunmen pepper spraying and pellet shooting a minister while he was praying. And MAGA calls itself Christian!

The research is clear. Increased community policing is the best way to reduce crime in cities. The millions a day spent on the Trump war on cities would be better spent supporting local and state law enforcement. BBBill cut $9B from local police support and added $30B to ICE goon expansion. Nonsense

Hogsbreath’s lecture to the military brass calls for an army trained to fight the wars of the last century. The Ukraine-Russia conflict has proved that brains, not brawn, is the key element in battlefield success. A man with limited experience and clearly little knowledge will handicap our troops.

Somewhere in my vague memory there exists a Republican refrain: The federal government should stay out of the states’ business. States Rights. Don’t tread on us! Doesn’t seem to fit sending Federal troops because Trump thinks they are needed to make him seem strong. Hypocrisy.

The White Woke Right blows a gasket when anything negative is said about Kirk or the President. But it no problem when Trump disparages the former president or members of Congress in hateful terms. Double standard is no issue when you believe you believe you are sent from God to save America.

The “White Woke Right” has decided that hypocrisy will go unnoticed. After years of railing against the Woke Left’s efforts to limit hate and violent speech, they bought the model and just redefined hate speech to mean anything the President doesn’t like. The righteous Pharisees at work.
