The GOP's tax cuts for their billionaire donors ballooned the deficit, so they're blaming the problem on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — demanding cuts to programs that millions of Americans rely on. It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

He was being told his own soldiers were fleeing the battlefield and he was forcing them to fight. How would it have looked back home if he had let that go unchallenged?
I keep reading that Zelensky shouldn't have risen to the bait.
The man is human. He's seen tens of thousands of Ukrainians murdered, their cities blown apart & their children stolen.
He was sitting by a man who's looting his country's minerals & praising Putin.
And for 40 minutes, he held it in.

Using our “global strength” to force an invaded country into concessions with an invader makes us complicit with the invader. It’s like returning an abuse victim to the abuser’s home. Shameful. Wrong. Un-American.

#Democrats are still in denial, still behind the 8-ball on that high road of theirs, operating under the assumption that such things as "class action lawsuits" will stop the coup already underway. Trump is already 10 steps ahead if the law is what we're depending on to save us. Trump is #LAWLESS.
The use of our #Constitution to shatter itself is already underway in #America. It is critical to remember that #Hitler was elected - just like #Trump.

So true great quote
'This process includes the replacement of all first-rate talents, regardless of their political loyalties, with crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is the best guarantee of their loyalty.'
