Too many Americans are watching the destruction of the nation like some kind of show. When you’re in it for the show, you keep cheering. It is, after all, a show.

The costs for Americans — and everyone else — will be catastrophic.

Americans need to stop cheering for the pickled egg:

One of the greatest tricks that Donald Trump and Elon Musk ever pulled is to convince millions of people that DOGE is about government efficiency. It's about narcissistic, resentful destruction: The Death of Government Expertise.

Nobody prepared me for Resident Alien's arc with the Sheriff. Literally BoysIIMen throwback vibes. And Darcy's reaction - chef's kiss.

A fight broke out at my son's school yesterday. One side called the girl a racist slur and that she should go back to her country. She in turn called the girl a racist slur. The kids are listening. Aside from dismantling institutions, the effect on our kids deeply saddens me.

Is Trump really intent on destroying the United States?
4 nominations suggest that:
1. Matt Gaetz = lawlessness
2. Tulsi Gabbard = Russia + Syria: betrayal of US intelligence
3. Pete Hegseth = attempt to destroy the US military
4. Robert Kennedy = madness
