I refuse to post the AI generated photo of the latest President 47 bruhaha. Just let me say that as a lapsed but very respectful Catholic nonetheless, I am beyond disturbed and mortified by his and Senator Lindsey Graham's sick jokes about wanting to be the next pope. This is the very last straw.

When You voted in November 2024 this is what you have unleashed. Happy now? Wait till they come after Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.
The tariffs could drive up the price of everything from gasoline and pickup trucks, to Super Bowl party guacamole dip.
Trump tariffs on Canada and Mexico could hit close to home, from avocados to autos
The tariffs would also invite retaliation. Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario, has already vowed to counterpunch by pulling American alcohol off store shelves in the Canadian province.
