Win or lose, I’m a proud Democrat and Boston sports fan. 40+ years in union benefits administration. Proud of that, too.
But do we believe he will stay strong and not cave? Not so sure…

I applied in January and that is the message I keep getting. My benefits are due to start this month. I’m not holding my breath…

Just another grifter linked to Trump. In that world, nothing is sacred and everything is for sale.

What are the chances the idiots running the U.S. government will make intelligent, rational policy decisions that don’t have to be walked back almost immediately when the s*it hits the fan? Governing is hard, isn’t it? That’s why it helps to have people who know what they’re doing.

It is truly mind-boggling and frightening how little Trump knows about what is going on in his administration, in the country and what is being done in his name.

Seriously, give us an f-ing break. If her memory is that bad, she is more than just compromised and incompetent.

Another concern is how casually and disrespectful our long-time, dependable allies are discounted by this group of incompetents. The U.S. is rapidly losing credibility and dependability around the world and ceding power to China and Russia. Seriously folks, I think Spanish is easier to learn.

OMG - Trump has his own Emotional Support Child. Did he borrow Musk’s or did he get his own?

I am old enough to remember “America, Love It or Leave It.” I’ll be happy to buy Trump a one way ticket..

I will never vote against them in a general election, but all bets are off if Schumer or Gillibrand are ever primaried. Schumer had his day-in-the-sun as the majority leader, a position he wanted for years, but he now needs to step aside to make room for someone with a spine.

This entire administration is incompetent, unprofessional, a huge embarrassment and downright dangerous.

I couldn’t agree more. As a resident of NY state, I am very displeased with both of my senators. The country needs strong Democratic leadership, now more than ever.

As is resident of New York state, I always think my Senators and my member of the House, Congressman Tonko, will always vote the way I want them to. It’s clear now I can only rely on Mr. Tonko. The country needs strong Democratic leadership in Congress and we currently do not have it.

Funny that the Koch brothers over the years as well as other high $ GOP donors and all the current billionaire tech bros never get the kind of scrutiny and vitriol Republicans have saved for Mr. Soros. I don’t understand what it is about him versus all the others.

No expert here, but I have always thought Musk and his “genius-ness” were wildly overrated. I didn’t hate him then, though.

It is hard work to be this stupid, but it seems to just come so naturally to them. I had to laugh at this one, but it is more frightening than funny. The same with the level of incompetence.

A mouse that knows they are “trans” is a lot smarter and insightful than the man who spoke on Tuesday night.

Seriously? Were was the censure vote when it was a Republican? Or a SCOTUS justice? These Dems should be ashamed.

Trump has made no progress with border crossings. My understanding is that there were less under Biden. What Trump is better at is lying.

Musk (frankly Trump, too) has no government experience, doesn’t know how it works and certainly has no idea what the various agencies do let alone what individuals’ roles are. And this idiotic is making random, monumental and downright dangerous decisions?

Hard to know if he really doesn’t remember or if he is just lying as usual.

My understanding is that Starlink has a new government contract with the FAA (nothing to see here). I have a question: Since Musk is getting billions of dollars from the US government and is on the America First bandwagon, why is he building huge factories in China and India?
