I've been worried about Zapad-2025 - was thrilled to see Poland reinforcing the east shield (and heartbroken that this is the world right now). I beg of NATO - ALL of NATO.....if Russia taken ONE INCH of land from a NATO country during "Zapad" - Every single country MUST respond to Article 5.

According to Christopher Steele (Steel Dossier) - the "Pee tapes" weren't with prostitutes peeing on TRUMP....it was him having prostitutes pee on the bed that Obama had slept on. I think it's both those tapes...but ALSO Epstein connections AND illegal money laundering through russian connections.

I don't think it's Power for power sake..it's also about the relationship with money. Money=Power. Power=Money. it's about grifting as much money and power as he can to feed his narcissism and delusions of grandeur. The power he's gathering - can't allow us to be distracted from the grifting also.

Govt Waste: This admin dares to preach about waste?? - Ballroom: $200 m - Garden of Heroes: $40 m - Rose Garden Revamp: $1.9 m - Alligator Alcatraz: $218 m - National Guard in DC: $1 m PER DAY - Trumps golfing trips: >$71 m If they want to talk about waste, tell them to start here.

I'm less upset about this than you might think....because I'm not surprised that there were more Rep's registered between 2020-2024 (what the article said) But I do believe that there have been a lot more who abandoned the Rep party since inauguration. Also, there are lots that aren't R or D.

I was horrified to see 84% of republicans approving of Trump.... Until I realized that *I* was a Republican for 38 years - and changed parties. I also know a LOT of people who have left the party because of everything going on - who is left is MAGA. How many R's vs how many D's were asked.

Trump fires Lisa Cook in an unprecedented move, and immediately the US dollar sinks against the Yen (in red), the Euro (teal), and the British Pound (purple). Stocks are also sorting it out, but down around a quarter point. Point is: Markets don't think this is move helps American business.

I disagree - they are selling ideas, and you purchase it with your vote. If these words/expressions make you feel like they are relating to YOU, then you buy it. But if people find the communication doesn't sound authentic, relatable, and speaking to them and their family - they won't buy it.

The point isn't that we shouldn't incorporate these CONCEPTS.... The point is that in normal every day peoples lives, no matter how liberal, they don't talk like this. They may talk about concepts, but they don't use the vocabulary - so it's not relatable.

They should paint all of the planes black - the ones that bring people over the border. I strongly believe the border wall isn't meant to keep people out - it's meant to keep us in. (I live in a border state) reminds me of the Berlin Wall...and yes, I remember the Berlin Wall very well.
