The problem with Kennedy or any of Trump's Cabinet Secretaries resigning is the thought that this menagerie of misfits are the BEST available. God only knows from what level of hell any replacements would arise. Worse than Kennedy? Without question.

Asking
I have a Samsung A71 5G. It's getting a little long in the tooth, touch screen problems, mainly. Which Samsung phone would be both: a good replacement and an upgrade?

The Fine Print of Trump Fascism
If it quacks like a duck, has webbed feet like a duck, swims like a duck, it isn't a dairy cow.
Rober Reich exposes the behind-the-scenes controls Trump will impose if he or someone on his team isn't happy. It's not pretty.

Don't buy Suncast.com Hoses.
When I asked them to cancel a duplicate order, I was told they couldn't cancel orders.
I complained.
Suncast offered to refund $7.08 if I returned the hose. I've decided they should just keep the $7.08.
They need it a lot worse than I do.
Sincerely

What is due process and why should it matter?
I'm not an attorney or legislator or judge, but that shouldn't matter to MAGA since most of them aren't either.
Here goes.
Due process means you are assumed to be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law and/or by a jury of your peers.

Under Trump's SCOTUS, carrying a concealed weapon (not pistol, weapon, like a pipe bomb or hand grenade) is a right.
Of course, MAKING a pipe bomb or POSSESSING a grenade is not a right.
But cut SCOTUS some slack.
There's 365 days in a year and Trump has been President (this time) for only 99.

"Gerrymandering" is fancy legalese that will be replaced with vote denial legislation and executive orders from the Oval Office.
Trump has decided not to obey court rulings. Nothing will happen.
Watch for more "political waterboarding" by Trump, Musk, and company.

Be warned.
Palestinians are not coming out to protest Hamas rule in Gaza. That should be a warning to us. Why? Because that's what Trump and Musk want you to do when it comes to reacting to their actions.
Making political protest illegal is high on their list of priorities.

It occurs to me the difference between Trump and Musk's efforts to deconstruct the government are working because so many people have no idea what services the government provides and could not care less why they're provided.

Not a peep in the media about Tri,[ changing voter registration rules.
"(His) order mandates that states require voters provide a government-issued documentary proof of citizenship and that only Real ID driver's licenses and passports are accepted, whereas birth certificates are not sufficient. "

Nearly 90 million non-voters are perfectly happy with this outcome. Just change "Hitler" to "Trump".
Blaming it on people not paying attention is disingenuous. They had 4 years to learn about Trump and his Project 2025. They heard reports; saw the videos.
They paid attention - and they liked it.

Pondering:
If the police stop us and tell us to turn around, or if we can't go where we want when we want, will anyone care?
When state legislatures decide voting is “necessary”, and then vote to end elections, will anybody cry "foul"?
When America disappears, will anyone know it?
Or care.

Ya see, here's the thing. The President can't change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. In his own mind, he can call it whatever he wants, but it's still the Gulf of Mexico and will always be the Gulf of Mexico.

No, they look for a MAGA judge who will reverse the order. Until then? Burn, baby burn.

I read about what Trump and company are doing or have done. I see the Democratic hand-wringing and hear their cries of despair, begging the rest of us to save them in their hour of need.
But here's the problem:

Anybody who doesn't think the prices will be RAISED HIGHER after they go into effect is an idiot.
