The big ugly bill is a Murder Suicide Pact with America. Many will suffer and die. But it can also trigger the end of MAGA. Because it will harm virtually every American, produce countless deaths, & bankrupt the country all to serve the rich. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-big-b...
Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Should Doom the GOP. But It Will Doom Many Americans Too
Trump and the GOP will celebrate its likely passage with a pyrotechnic display of lies, to help them “justify” more tax cuts and other benefits for the rich and powerful.

Elon Musk is systematically seizing control over our nation’s communications, financial systems and data and military infrastructures.
Musk isn’t a fourth branch of government, just another Silicon Valley who wants to be dictator of the world.

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand.
Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”

In my older age now I love history and try to watch documentaries and read books to learn how this country formed and how we can learn from the past. Unfortunately it seems like government ignores the mistakes of the past, and it’s Groundhog Day over and over.

Keep in mind when you see Trump’s political attacks about the LA fires that he doesn’t understand the problems, care about the personal suffering or desire to learn what happened so he can do something to help. He just wants to exploit the tragedy to score points and fuel more conflict and division.

Say what you want about Biden, he’s not out there claiming he actually won the election and sending a mob to the US Capitol to “fight like Hell” or they won’t have a country anymore. Republicans rightly condemned Trump on this day in 2021. He was unfit then. He is unfit now.
