A common sense guy. Classical liberal committed to modern democracy. Jesus was a liberal and so am I. NYC born & raised. Yankees/Jets/Knicks. Not a fan of group-think. I will challenge respectfully at times. I try to vet whom I follow back. Misanthrope.
It was never about saving money. DOGE was about destroying the institutions Musk hated as a reward for fixing the election for Trump. It's that simple. (Gift article.)

Isn’t Trump the same asshole who said Kamala Harris would cause WW3?
Trump: "It's been an interesting day from the standpoint of news. As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela. Largest one ever seized actually. And other things are happening."

George Washington warned that political parties would become “potent engines” for ambitious men to usurp the people’s will. Our Founders’ vision was a government of citizens, not cabals.

I’ve got to give Green a lot of credit staging this rift with Trump so masterfully. She’s got everyone fooled.
But the ruse is simple. Create distance from Trump and run for Ossoff’s senate seat in 2026 as a moderate R. (😂)
NYT is so obtuse.

It's still startling to see how much plastic surgery has had over the years. Ultimately, all the operations in the world cannot hide the rot from within.

Nothing gets done by either party unless the leader is aware of what you’re doing. You think it’s an accident all 8 of the cavers are from deep purple states?

I am amazed that about half of these countries STILL actually have Kings or Queens as head of their State. (Hint: it’s not the title. It’s the style of (non) leadership.)
Of course none of them are anywhere near as imperious as our “king”.
