Epstein and the economy will sink Trump. Along with many Republicans. All losing their jobs, Some losing their freedom.

Yes, and I worry about what Trump might do when he fails to distract MAGA.

I have been worried something had happened to you. You missed the last two live chats.

The war against the Palestinians is about more than a land grab by Israel. It is also about having an Allie in the Middle East. And Palestinian oil. And our cries about war crimes ring hollow. Massacres of native people, Dresden, Hamburg, Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki.

You can't fall off a hill you never were on. Our very form of government was created so we could enshrine slavery. We have broken almost every treaty with
native Americans. More recently, we betrayed the Kurds and others who supported us. In our wars for oil.

I believe that one of them said. "You are going to find someone to do this, but it was never going to be me" The same thing happened with Nixon.

I suspect it's not a black or white situation. By resigning now they call attention to the corruption. By staying they might be able to resist for a while. But if they push back too much, it's out the door for them or worse. By resigning they have a better chance of getting a job with a law firm.

I have been saying for a long time that it would be the women that saves us. Especially black women.

That's a thing that bothered me about Trump 1.0. How he got so many to dishonor their oaths. And now so many are obeying in advance.
February 14, 2025 at 9:18 PM
I totally agree with there. But just because Putin and Trump are buddy-buddies. Does that mean they can win. It pains me how much the Ukraine people have suffered. But they won't give up their country or freedom. They have bled the bear dry. Russia's economy is underwater.

And as for Gaza, the worse that Netanyahu couldn't force the Palestinians off their land. Nor has Hamas been destroyed, every time the IDF pushes into Gaza they are repealed, often with heavy losses. And the way that Trump insulted them. The Arabs, they all oppose us.

I disagree, as for Ukraine. What is left of NATO, will step up. They know that Putin will not stop at Ukraine. Poland is likely next. Unfortunately due to bad policy or fear of Putin. On the part of the USA The brave men and women of Ukraine are paying a heavy price.

Something I have been concerned about for decades. But at seventy two. All my medical needs are about as they have been for decades. Except now my meds and doctors visits are paid by Medicare and supplements. By sheer dumb luck I got an agent that didn't push Medicare Advantage.
