I am not a "Republican", a "Democrat". nor even an "Independent Party" member. I am a true non-partisan American citizen. I am a military veteran, a Civil Service retiree, and a senior citizen. Anti-fascism, anti-bigotry, Pro-choice. All posts are "IMHO".
1/2 Republicans are not going to solve the things that are "wrong" in our "gov't". The Democrats are not going to solve the things that are "wrong" in our "gov't". The constant and pervasive battle of Reps vs Deems (and vice versa) is not going to *solve* anything!

The 2024 election sent a message that crime is OK in the US if a president does it.

The ICE, DHS, Trump regime premise, policy, and procedures is that if one is not a "born citizen" and apparent "WASP", then they are "illegal" and have no protections under the Constitution. Their operations also promote "guilty until proven not".

As far back as at least 2 decades ago, Trump has been a "Mafia Capo (or Don) wannabe*. He has never altered from that egotistical path. Based on that premise, diehard MAGA persons are in turn *wannabe Mafia soldiers*.

Trump does not believe in or accept *alliances*. To him, having allies means *sharing* power/control. Trump is a self-admitted authoritarian and dictator. He insists on having sole and absolute power and control - both national and international.

With the caveat that I have been staunchly "apolitical" for most of my life due to military and civil service mandates, I have not been aware of such an abundance of law suits and judicial review of presidential activities as I see now.

The simplist explaination for Trump's deranged illusions is this:
"Putin *likes me*, so I'll do the things that will illicit praise from him. The American people *don't like me*, so I'll retaliate and I won't care about them.

Can we not implement the premise of Occam's Razor: "the simplest solution is usually the most likely to be correct".
To eliminate the chaos, violence, injustice, illegalities, hubris, fascism attacking the US and the world, the simplest solution is to remove and eliminate the Trump regime.

Common sense #1 - You don't *attack* an ally militarily, vocally, or monitarily.
#2 - You don't *attack* a sovereign nation that has not attacked you.
#3 - You don't coerce a sovereign nation with monetary, military, or social threats.

It's pretty obvious that we don't need a 'business man" to "'run the country". Maybe we need a proven NFL coach or quarterback to address the job?

"US Profits" from Venezuela oil being directed to "off-shore" bank accounts in Qatar has every earmark of *thievery*. This in no way passes anyone's smell test of legality.

The "US Department Of Justice" is no longer. It has been usurped, co-opted, and bastardized into Trump's law firm of defense attorneys and prosecutors; no longer the US citizen's legal defenses. As such, it has co-opted the hierarchy of the FBI to be it's in-house, biased investigators.

Trump does not understand the professional military. If he takes "his military" to war against Venezuela or Greenland or Mexico, or?, the soldiers, sailors, airmen will not be fighting FOR TRUMP. They will be fighting for themselves, their families, their "America" (in that order).

For the "general public", what is the definition of "affordablility"? To my mind "affordable" means one can buy something without going into debt. Or, for *major* purchases (car, home), a cost that can *comfortably* be paid off in less than a *lifetime".

Definition: "A terrorist organization is generally defined as a group that uses or threatens to use violence against non-combatants to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals, with the intent to coerce or intimidate a government or population."
I guess that fits the Trump regime?

The Trump regime is playing fast and loose with trick plays and hurry up offence. The US citizenry is on fulltime defense and without their special teams (Congress and SCOTUS) they are not gaining any ground.
