We give them everything and they send us nothing in return. No wonder the Batman creators named a villainous thief and politician "The Penguin."

I believe "anti-war" Trump ordered 2x drone attacks in 4 years as Obama did in 8 years.

Trump should be in prison. He should've been arrested on 1/7/21.
- He lied about the election
- He summoned the crowd to DC
- He riled them up (with lies) before/on the 6th
- He did nothing for hours, not acting until it was obvious the crowd would not succeed
Trump betrayed his oath. TRE45ON

Yes, Trump is a symptom of a much deeper disease.

There should be, but I'm not convinced there will be.
Trump is trying to establish everything he would need to become the American Putin - the perennial president.
Trump must be impeached SOON lest he make it impossible to remove him without an actual coup.

If Trump wants to go home for the weekend, it should be on his own dime - not ours.
Give him federal holidays off and two weeks paid vacation. But "paid" doesn't include travel.

Impeach Trump NOW.
If Trump cannot follow the law (and he cannot; see his convictions and judgments, and all the court reversals of his orders), then he does not deserve to serve as president of the United States of America.

Yes and no.
Yes, in that Jesus loves everyone and is willing to converse respectfully with anyone.
No, in that Jesus embodies the "hate the sin, love the sinner" mentality.
He finished conversations recorded in the Bible with things like, "Go, and sin no more."
Jesus wants to transform us.

Well, consider Trump's voting demographic.
Only about 25% of MAGA voters have a college degree.
So, yeah, to remain in power their top priority should be to dismantle the education system.

Until the United States stands up to Trump and impeaches/imprisons him, then it cannot be trusted.
No people with a conscience could not vote in a man of his corrupt character.
It's like the US has a new form of cancer; it's contagious. Until it's removed, it's best to avoid the US altogether.

Harmful "free speech" should be/is banned: perjury, fraud, breach of confidentiality, etc.
The right to free speech also means accepting consequences for what is said.
But the Trump/Musk brand of "free speech" is "Let us lie all the time to convince gullible people to follow us."
That's harmful.

The world needs to look elsewhere for help. The United States is unreliable under Donald Trump.
Trump admires dictators like Putin and Kim. He has no interest in protecting freedom or democracy.
Like Putin he wants the mask of freedom, but rigged elections to make him an Americanized Tsar.

Lindsey Graham is reprehensible. He tried to discredit Zelenskyy in front of his people.
How dare he call for Zelenskyy to resign, then say, "To the Ukrainian people, America wants to help you. The way the meeting went today, you made it almost impossible to help you."
That's a pro-Putin move.

Worse than Pearl Harbor and 9/11.
Those events united us and brought foreign support to our side.
