Former GOPer. Civil discourse & critical thinking desired. Truth is essential. Politics, economics, philosophy, history, phrases & quotes with some humor, wit & sarcasm. The chaos of the next 2 yrs will prove necessary to finally correct this MAGA mess.

If your doctor decided you needed an MRI (indicating concern about something serious) and you claim that you didn't ask why or what part of your body he wanted to look at, you are:
1. Really stupid; or
2. Dangerously detached from reality; or
4. Lying; or
4. All three. 🎯

I wonder if impeachment is the word being whispered about in the halls of Congress. Possibly for a few? Regardless, the "worm is turning" and "his" support seems to be cratering.

This has nothing to do with Christianity. This is second tier show business. The Republican Political Party is second tier show business. The Trump administration is mainly actors from Fox News. Matt Van Peep received a $750,000 boost from three dark money (Kremlin) independent PACs. Dark theater.

Only 25% of Independents approve of the policies of this administration. His overall Gallup approval rating is now 36%. The pain, chaos, mismanagement and evil actions were what it was going to take, and the walls are crumbling more each week.

One of the saddest outcomes of the last 10 years is that our children and young people have had no model of integrity, honesty and true strength at the pinnacle of power to look up to. Hopefully a very small percentage have started emulating what they see.

It seems the strategy is to compensate for underwater polls and certain defeat in midterms, with a wave of fear mongering and more military activity. A cornered animal will pull out all of the stops (sorry for the mixed metaphor). But we can expect more cruelty and evil to come.
