Spent 10 years working as staff in US Senate, 7 of those as Professional Staff of Senate Appropriations Committee and then over 30 years representing co-operatively owned financial institutions that returned earnings to their borrowers.
If they really came to Congress to make change and improve the lives of everyday people the best thing they could do is to say NO to voting for Trump’s crap and then they will find out what real power they have.

Thank you John Berryman for the follow up question when your original is not answered. That’s how you get to the truth and we get informed. Well done.

Congress still has the power of the purse and to declare war BUT ONLY IF THEY CHOOSE TO USE IT. This Republican Congress won’t. We need a Congress that will do its job and hold the executive branch accountable.

There obviously is more to the story if no new evidence surfaced that pointed to this individual and why he wasn’t previously identified.

When will the tape if the second strike be released publicly? We deserve to see it and judge for ourselves how our money is being spent to kill people.
December 4, 2025 at 8:43 PM
So will the WH press secretary be asked to play the video today of the second strike and be asked to explain again why these people were considered a threat to the US?

That’s what the market wants for sure - cars from the 1970s getting 10 mpg and belching pollution freely. And while we are at it let’s get rid of seatbelts and airbags while approving self driving semi trucks on the highways. Brilliant moves.

Oh please MAGA boycott Costco so the rest of us don’t have to put up with your obnoxious ways.

So when I go to buy something and can’t afford it I should just pay what I can afford and tell the retailer the difference is an imaginary loss for them?

Hopefully when Congress interviews the Admiral who should know something about ocean travel if it is possible that the boats they are sinking could reach the US shores directly. We have no idea if they were carrying drugs or where they were going.

And here I thought Trump was going to have a peace deal done before he was sworn in. One more broken promise. One more lie to America. One more failure that is Trump.

Maybe ocean running will become a new Tick Tok trend
December 3, 2025 at 12:20 AM
Oh yeah idiot Senator - the survivors were going to “run.” They were in the middle of the ocean with their boat blown up. So he thinks these folks can walk on water. So stupid.

There is no war so claiming fog of war for murdering noncombatants is nothing more than first class BS. All involved need to be held accountable. We will know they knew this was murder when Trump issues a sweeping pardon for all involved - and signs it by auto pen.
December 2, 2025 at 7:20 PM
Wow with a $ trillion Defense budget to think we need to fear two individuals that have been blown up and were clinging to the debris of their boat as an imminent threat is beyond alternative facts to simple fantasy. They murdered these people. It’s as simple as that.

Do these people really make unique decisions to them that impact the annual bottom line that justifies this level of salary? Anyone know?
November 30, 2025 at 8:58 PM
The test now for our government is whether Congress steps up to hold those responsible for these murders at sea to account. And if they fail it is then up to voters to replace them.

So let me get this straight. Trump imposes tariffs and prices go up. Trump removes tariffs and prices stay up. There’s a pattern here called screw the consumers. Thanks Donald.
