Remember: When a Republican politician cries that "spending is out of control," be sure to respond "tax cuts for the rich are out of control." The massive amount of revenues lost to our government over four decades of Republican tax cuts for the rich track with the massive increase in our debt. 🤔

If you let evil in, it spreads. As much as Trump and his cronies were crooks and criminals before, the amount of corruption and crime they engage in now will shock you. People still feel uncomfortable calling Trump what he is: Evil. They had best start seeing him as he is, before it is too late.

Trump and his cronies are not engaged in "shock and awe." Just "shock."

Note to Media: Stop using phrases, labels and names that Trump comes up with to serve himself...but don't reflect the reality of his incompetence and love of chaos.

Tariffs won't help Americans. They are something that Trump will use to serve himself. Still, there is the usual hucksterism involved, as with anything Trump does. His "beautiful tariffs" campaign slogan of 2024 was a con man's pitch, just as "a big, beautiful wall" was in 2016.

Trump just handed to an IMMIGRANT the most personal information on almost every American citizen.

What are we missing here? 🤔

We wonder which Americans voted to have all of their personal identification information transferred from government computers to private computers owned by a multibillionaire on drugs. 🤔

The destruction of our alliances and foreign trade has nothing to do with benefitting Americans. Dictatorships seek to sever outside links that influence the politics and economy of their country, challenging their total control. The Republican Party is constructing its dictatorship, by all means.

A fact about the 2020-21 coup attempt that ended on 1/6/21 has always been neglected: That the Republican Party as a whole was involved in that operation, not just Trump. -- A fact being ignored today? The Republican Party is involved in the operation, going on now, to set up a dictatorship.

The criminal Republicans are doing terrible things to our country. How to begin to protest and push back? Hold back your purchases. -- Want to eat out? Take a pause. -- Buy something you don't absolutely need? Put it off. -- Avoid Amazon and Tesla. -- Use your buying power, before you lose power.

Memo to Democrats: The "arc of history" does not "bend toward" your victory, when you insistently push things that most voters do not like and even fear. You are talking to each other, as if everyone else agrees with you, because you are so smart. That's why you are not ready to take on Trump.

Evil is spreading across our country, as right-wing Republicans reveal themselves to actually be fascists, infesting our government, our Congress, our courts, our businesses, and even our churches. www.thedailybeast.com/right-wing-c...

Prediction: Hegseth will be out as Secretary of Defense, before the year is over.

He is a known drunk, incompetent, and sexual abuser.

He is punishing honorable officers, and he has alienated the women who serve throughout the military. He is a Trump stooge.

Who will want to help him succeed?
