No matter how many time Trump lies and tells us the economy is great and prices have been lowered; People are not buying it.
His approval is down to 34% and sinking fast with the lower class whose wallets are suffering.

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

Donald Trump had reasonable concerns about how Joe Biden’s relatives enriched themselves through his service. Yet his own family is making the “Biden crime family” look small-time
How Donald Trump is turning into Joe Biden
It’s about more than denying inflation

First came reports that Hegseth ordered a killing strike against defenseless men
Followed by Hegseth’s non-denial denial
Then Trump DIDN’T deny it-but said it wasn’t Hegseth
Now Karoline Leavitt ADMITS it-but says Admiral Bradley gave the order
One thing seems sure

Somalis have refugee status, temporary protection status, and asylum. They aren't "illegal". The US has always had programs for people fleeing and displaced by horrific conditions. Biden didn't invent American decency. DJT is just trying to erase it.

This is insane, but a fun side note: former Overstock CEO and Maria Butina honeypot victim Patrick Byrne as been MIA (after his lawyer was arrested) in a defamation suit brought against him by Hunter Biden. A judge found him in default and Biden has filed a $33.3M default judgement request.

Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

If blowing up survivors in the water was the right thing to do because they are “narco-terrorists” (trust us, bro) and deserve no quarter, why did we rescue two other survivors in a different strike, fly them home, and let them go free?

Profiting on healthcare is simply that, maximize profits and minimize care,and when the competitiondoes the exactly the same thing,theconsumer suffers.
Once again we are the ONLY industrialized nation on earth that doesnt provide healthcare

Three options are:
* Affordable care act
* Medicare for All
* Universal healthcare
There are advantages to each, and much of it is actually legislation that makes sure everyone is covered, pre-existing just means past medical history, etc. We are the only developed country not to do one of these.

Anyone else have this on their mind too?
For years, Republicans insisted that the path to lower cost healthcare was a market based system. The story they sold us was more competition would lead to lower prices.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.
So there’s that, too.
