Old school Texan to a fault who remembers who we used to be as a fierce and and independent force that never bent the knee to con men from New York City. Desert Storm Army Veteran who has taken and lives the oath to the Constitution.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Who knew the Israeli government under Netanyahu would turn into the same fascists that the Germans were in the 1930’s.

If you don’t think this is not a new Nazi take over, you don’t know your history. Germany went through this 100 years ago.

I think if we just give Trump a medal or a trophy for the Iran bombing he might be able to move on. Seems like the easiest solution.

trump leaving the G-7 after less than 24 hours on the heels of his disastrous bday celebration where Russia even mocked makes me want to finally start to grab my popcorn and begin to pay attention to hopefully what will come

I’m a veteran, so don’t come at me, but this is the least disciplined Army parade I’ve ever seen. Marching soldiers who aren’t in lock-step, soldiers pumping fists and giving heart hand signs. It just seems so disorganized. This is why we should not parade our men and women who serve like this.

HFS she is a true POS. I’m sure her God trump loves her for this. Well done Iowa.

I’m really not enjoying our current Nazi America. Can we just wake the fuck up and stop this? Sane minds want to know.

In a normal America, journalists kept Politicians in check. This era of 2025 is not normal and Politicians don’t give a shit. Good luck NYT.

Some other form of device?What’s wrong with established protocol? Oh yeah, that becomes an official record. My God…
New: Trump suggests there will be a non-FBI investigation into the Signal leak

“It’s not really an FBI thing. It's really something having to do with security, like, will somebody be able to break it? … And if that’s true, we're gonna have to find some other form of device.“

I’m sure you’ll get right on that Chuck.
Amateur behavior.

This kind of security breach is how people get killed.
How our enemies take advantage.
How our national security falls into danger.

These people are clearly not up for the job.

We need a full investigation into how this happened and the damage it created.
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social. theatln.tc/AmsjsuT6

They've blown thru $2T in less 2 months. These ads were $3M. Per Golf game $3M. A weekend Golf event is $8M. Not to mention, the super Bowl $3M. The Race $8M. All on our tax $$$. Just living their best life... pretty soon, NO VA, SS, Medicare/MEDICAID, EPT. No homes, no income.

Unfortunately his track record doesn’t speak loudly enough, as there are a lot of deaf people in this country.
His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.
