Any guesses as to when this "successful businessman" began blessing us with his tariff genius?

We need to be proactive in tracking MAGA. For example, here's a website tracking "The Butcher from South Beach" USAID cuts:

Medicaid data - eg, Tenncare - is easy to get.

Tell Congress you can track exact numbers in your district

I agree. We cannot be a superpower without science.

And the cutting is across the board even into state and private support for once bipartisan lauded core science and engineering.

It took China, Germany, others impoverished decades to overcome similar attacks on science in their histories

He did his worst first. USAID, tariffs, racism - terrible! But not the worst.

He, Musk, GOP killed American science. The bipartisan stuff that makes us great, keeps us strong, keeps our military first, made us first in AI, ...

It will make us a loser nation - and will make China great again

In the 1990s, a friend said, "Being a conservative means never having to say you're sorry."

They never have, and likely never will. Don't ask or expect it.

Be merciful! Tell them when they are wrong. Make sure they hear it. Then leave them.

They are incapable of repentance - but they know.

It very much is. Old saying: "Work as long as there's daylight, but no longer." You'll go crazy if you work past dark regularly.

But more and more, daylight to dark is not enough. Not just tariffs. Now not even what 3rd world govs provide their farmers!

Many farmer friends. Just saw this.

Yet Trump's worst may have been his first. He derailed American science and engineering. No more R that leads to D. The D pipeline will soon run dry.

In next major conflict, the other side likely have tech advantage over Americans. Med, AI, EV - tech bros are D, not R.

And China was ready.

And no "American Ingenuity" to save us this time. The GOP has cut the USA's scientific locks.

That is, they've killed the R that leads to the D that creates the I that for decades made America truly Great.

America was FIRST... until "America First!"

Now we're exporting our "Firstness" to China.

After 2018 Trump tariffs and tax cuts, farm foreclosures surged in 2019. Grown man sobbing uncontrollably as generations of family's life work was auctioned off.

But mild compared to what Trump 2nd is about to do. GOP never has nor will reciprocate farmer support. That's what Dems are for.

MAGA and the Evangelicals are destroying everything good about this country and the earth.

If we have no love for those He created, if we have no love for His creation, how can we say we love Him?

So Putinism is what MAGA now calls patriotism?

Not me! Putin's "rebrand" of communism is the same ungodly authoritarianism that threatened democracies for decades. Russians wanted the old Soviet system back and they got it: Putinism.

MAGA red has taken on a whole new meaning!

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

History, Science, and Scripture agree: If we don't change course, this will not end well.

"The earth is defiled by its people; they have broken the everlasting covenant (to be its caretakers)....

Therefore a curse consumes the earth; Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up," Isaiah 24:5-6

2nd step in dealing with MAGA and the GOP:

Don't be shocked. Racism, greed, and hatred are as American as baseball and apple pie. Racism recruited from the pulpits in the 1920s - and not just a few.

Now it's back and calling itself MAGA.
