The majority of GOP Congress members cheering Trump on don’t have any friggin idea how tariffs work either. Can we not get some smarter people in Congress? Geez.

Only way for him to preserve even a shred of dignity is to resign in protest of that BS we witnessed today.

We need a united congress (other than those MAGA ones bought by Russia as well) to step up and refute what Trump and Vance said to/about Zelynski. It was disgusting and shouldn't stand without a strong rebuke.

Europe has a few really strong leaders. Her, Macron, Marin, Meloni. Cool to see how many strong women they have there. We have Nikki Haley who bent over to support DJT when she didn't win the nomination. I will say I like Klobuchar and a few others in the US.

The first party that figures out how to play to the center instead of pandering to their extreme bases is going to be the one that retains control for more than one term. Biden made that mistake with some of his policies like school debt forgiveness. Need to be more centrist.

He's done some good stuff standing up for UKR etc. but too much of a DJT stooge so I'll be voting against him.

How do we get more good sources (from both sides of the aisle) to leave Twitter and Elon? Not enough content here yet vs. Twitter.

Very smart guy. Not sure he could win a presidential election but I'd vote for him and he'd make a great VP candidate. Dems need to learn from Trump and his approval ratings though and be a little more aggressive on policies like govt efficiency, immigration etc. to attract voters.

Our system is woefully broken and driven by large corporate interests and greed. It's plagued by a lack of transparency, overcomplication and divergent financial interests. Needs blown up.

Wish this site had more traffic and a bit more diversity of viewpoints but it's much less aggravating scanning posts here. Just don't want to be in an echochamber. Want reasoned views from all angles.

Depends on the kid. Trade schools should probably add some basic life skills classes - personal finance, health, etc. Too many people go to traditional college in my mind but agree the experience is a good one for those it's suited to. Think we need more trade education though.

Good man but severely flawed and was too old to serve. America has lost it's leadership and let our allies down. He also ran as a centrist then bowed to the progressives too much. I get the feel he wasn't steering the ship the last 12-24 mos.

Good, unbiased management and ownership I'm guessing.

We need lawyers and legislators to look at social media and try and reign in disinformation one way or the other. We're easy prey to our foreign adversaries given the ease with which they can seemingly sway public opinion with propaganda and misinfo. 1st Amend great but we need something.

A consumption/national sales tax would help as well. Est. a tax credit for W2 earners < $100K/yr to offset impact but raise $ from wealthy spenders, criminals, tax cheats, illegals, visitors etc. We're only industrialized country without one. Dumb.
